Followers of In 9,

Capri - name meaning and origin
The unisex name Capri \c(a)-pri, cap-ri\ (Italian),as in the Isle of Capri, is a variant of Caprice (English) and means “whimsical, unpredictable”. From Italian “capriccio” which originally referred to a feeling of horror causing the hair to stand on its ends...
Mmm, Are You Ready For This Goodness?
If you’re not - Don’t read on.
I just had a severe bloody show. I thought I had been losing my mucus plug for weeks now but I just like dropped a massive ball of pink goop, I thought I almost had a baby. Anyway, this could mean labour is coming now…or in another couple days but something is happenening which makes me happy.

Game Day (Ha!)

It would make sense that I would feel the need to ‘rest up for the big day’ (which I have determined is never coming) but I find myself day-after-day going to bed later and waking up earlier and all I want to do is sleep but its just not happening. Maybe its because when I do sleep it doesn’t mean much....

Can't Sleep, Clown'll Eat Me
Can’t sleep, baby is getting ready to come out. Or to stay in there a little longer. I don’t know what the deal is. I’m tired tired tired of this.
My aunt is convinced that she will be born on the full moon because in her experience as a nurse, full moons = a lot of babies. Sounds like bullshit to me. That would not only mean that I have another week, since the full moon is on...
O MY
This baby has exploded the last little bit and my stomach is enormous. I’m 4 days overdue and thinking of possibilities in which I might guilt trip my daughter into making an appearance
