Today's mission - Combat Chaos

Well I suspect it will be more than a one day job!!!  But today is the start.  I've got about 4 1/2 weeks left until my due date and once again I've got a stubborn breech baby.  I was in the same position last pregnancy and was able to speak to many knowledgeable people and was able to successfully get him to turn.  One of the things suggested by a hypnobirthing expert was to ensure there was nothing stopping me from feeling ready to give birth, as our mind can be a very strong adversary or ally depending on the situation.  So after my first moxibustion / accupuncture session last night (another thing i did last time) i'm starting on the emotional side today.  I'm hoping this process will also keep me from spending too much time relaxing on the sofa which is a big no no to get in 'optimal positioning' :-D

So today's tasks so far are:
To order any maternity/birth necessities that i dont have.
Organise all the clothes that are just thrown into her wardrobe and take stock of anything else thats needed
Spend at least 10 min in the Breech inversion (dont ask it's not pretty!!)
Catch up with the boys washing and get their clothes put away
Tidy up my bedroom so there is plenty of room in there for her
Make myself a nice hot chocolate and spend some time thinking positively and getting over any fear of being mum to three.......

Doesn't seem like a lot, but we'll see how the day progresses!!!
