Shake shake shake, shake shake shake, shake your booties
Back to the baby stuff!
Here are the booties that Cassie-b sent:
And here are the booties that Chris's grandmother sent:
Personally, I'm hoping for a baby that fits into Grandma's booties and has to grow a bit for Cassie-b's.
(I'm a little nervous about the part where this kid comes out of me.)

Posted by: JuJuBee at February 5, 2005 08:53 AMGlad you like the booties.
Have a great weekend.

Posted by: cassie-b at February 5, 2005 09:20 AMJust remember that epidurals are your friend. You'll do fine.
Posted by: Kristie at February 5, 2005 10:05 AMYay for booties! And new, good things coming into this world.
Big hugs,

Beth, here's the good news. There is a reason for nine months gestation. By the time your due date rolls around, you want that kid out so bad, that labor is a relief and you are ready to perform surgery with a fork just to get.it.out. At this point, labor is scary because you aren't totally sick of being pregnant yet :)
Posted by: HG at February 5, 2005 10:24 AMListen to HG. I was willing to do anything to get the kid out by the time I went into labor. And remember, epiduals are your friend, the anesthiologist is a God/Goddess.
Posted by: MoMMY at February 5, 2005 10:47 AMNice bootie, Beth.
And don't worry about the kid coming out. You'll be so busy calling Chris horrible names that you won't notice the pain. ;)

Posted by: Shaunta at February 5, 2005 12:19 PMBy the time the kid is ready to come out, you will be MORE than ready to suffer ANYTHING to just GET THAT BABY OUT!
Mother Nature. It's great.
Those booties are so cute! Awww...
Posted by: jenorama at February 5, 2005 12:41 PMCute booties!
Posted by: Kelley at February 5, 2005 01:47 PMI have to agree with everyone who said things about wanting the baby out of you. Pregnancy is 40 weeks (give or take a few) but labor is a day. You'll be fine - I'm sure all the yoga you do will certainly help.
PS - Cute booties!
Posted by: Irene at February 5, 2005 06:27 PMThose are adorable! What a sweet gift! :)
Posted by: bari at February 5, 2005 07:22 PMi agree with what everyone else said.
booties, tres chic!
labor, get the frickin' kid out! epidurals are wonderful, so is nubain (i slept through most of my labor).
and i've been meaning to tell you this... the most important thing to do while waiting for said child to pop out - kegels. do your kegel exercises. trust me.
By the time you give birth, you REALLY want to give birth, and everything else is secondary LOL! And remember this word...epidural!!!
Posted by: Nina at February 5, 2005 09:26 PMAdorable :-) I love homemade things, they just have that extra special feel to them.
Posted by: Chrissie at February 5, 2005 11:22 PMOne word...EPIDURAL! That, and HG is absolutely right. By the end of nine months, you are ready to get that baby out!
Posted by: Nicole at February 5, 2005 11:45 PMMy son was 10lb 11 1/2 oz. If I can do it, you can do it :)
Posted by: DaFFy at February 6, 2005 05:11 AMLOL! Honestly, I had the easiest birth in the world, couldn't believe it when they told me my daughter was 10lb 10oz!
But believe this... forget the bootie size, Head Circumference counts for a lot.
Posted by: cesca at February 6, 2005 05:16 AMI read that post as "Yay for Boobies" and I thought "What on earth does Bloodhound Gang have to do with anything?"
I'm a dork. Oh and I thought I'd write that rather than tell you labor will be fun and games.
I think this is the one and only time I've actually enjoyed a reference to this song.:)
Posted by: Janet at February 6, 2005 10:01 PMAh...I think I have baby fever!
Posted by: Gypsy at February 6, 2005 11:57 PM*melts* Those are absolutely PRECIOUS! Aww. =)
Posted by: Jennie at February 7, 2005 01:50 AMThe booties are precious! I always wished I could knit like that. I tried once and ended up with a trapazoidial lookin' pot holder. I've always been a little screwed up. LOL
Posted by: Jade at February 7, 2005 10:50 AMYou can, you can do it very well.
You're the best in the world, I can tell.
Shake shake shake, shake shake shake,
Shake your booty! Shake your booty!
(Sorry, after seeing your post title, I got caught up in the song. Cute booties for the baby though!)
Hand to God the giving birth bit was the best part for me... all 4 times. Your body just takes over. Don't worry about it. Oh and I never had an epidural and I would still do it another 4 or 5 times if the adorable little bundles didn't turn in to 6 year olds!!
