Snow & TENS

Had to wait a whole hour for my midwife appointment, luckily OH was with me to help pass the time. It was raining when we went in, by the time we came out we walked into a winter wonderland, with huge snowflakes falling all the way home. The baby's back has moved from left side to right side, but the head is still 2/5 engaged, so all is well. 

Today saw us try out the TENS machine that my dad has lent us, you're not meant to use it in pregnancy, so OH was the guinea pig and for a while I renamed the machine the TENSE machine, as OH just wasn't taking it seriously enough, whilst I was trying to establish if this was going to help my labour, but then I realised I was just being a moody old so and so, relaxed and we managed to get it all set up and working and I'm looking forward to using it as part of my birthing experience, along with the Hypnobirthing and the birthing pool - though clearly not mixing the TENS and the pool. 

Starting to get a tad impatient about labour kicking in now, its very tempting to spend the day doing power walking, bouncing on my swiss ball and throwing some yoga poses, but instead I directed my efforts towards a spot of home baking - first attempt at mince pies, ended up with the pastry so short it crumbled as you eased the pies out of the tin, still they tasted (yes, that is past tense) good.
