7 months...

well, there is a couple more days until 7 months "officially", but i had a major freak-out yesturday, feeling strongly that something was wrong... now it seems like an out-of-body experience looking back, but i had such an intuituve force saying that the baby didn't feel right, especially since i hadn't felt it move in a while and i just felt that something was different... well, honey rushed me off to the midwives, who found a strong heart beat, and then i went to the hospital to get a non-stress test to see if the placenta was working well and it was, so i could finally feel relieved, but still feeling strange for having such a strong feeling in the morning... i don't know what it was, but of course i am just happy all is really well, and it just renewed my sense of awe at how fragile being born is.  i also got some more blood tests for iron levels and for diabetes, and i preregistered the birth as well, whew! what a day!
honey was wonderful through it all, and later we made our birth power sculptures out of clay (projects from "birthing from within") and had each a footbath... he is the most wonderful, and i am so happy to be so loved...
