OMG!! - I never thought about losing the A/C. Yuck! Thank goodness you didn't. Well, I am assuming it's as hot there as it is here. Actually the past 2 days haven't been too bad. They've been in the 90's but not as humid. That's what gets me. 
Anyway, I have definitely still been seeing the benefits of the hypno. I don't think about the IBS as much when planning/doing things, which I love. Or even if I think I'm feeling touchy, I say to myself screw it and go out anyway. And so far only one time I felt a little panicky. But, that was during my period, so I don't really count it!  It is amazing, honestly. If someone told me 6 months ago I'd feel this great now, I never would have believed it. Isn't it great!

I had just started making the peppermint fudge cake. I had all the dry ingrediants mixed and the oven on. I was so glad I hadn't finished. I quick turned off the oven. The bad news was the a/c had just kicked on minutes before so it was starting to get hot. We survived though. Makes you think about the old days without electricty, a/c, huh?
Andie glad you didn't lose power.

Up in Northern Ontario , Canada we lost our power for about 12 hours. 4:15 p.m. till 4:30 a.m friday. During the day on friday it kept on surging. We were told no A/C,use no extra power and no wash machines to conserve water. It was pretty hot here as well,86-90 degrees. But nothing like spending a day in the water swimming! My family enjoyed the evening,catching up on whats new and different topics. the night was beautiful, dark and with lots of stars!! Also peacefully quiet!! Sue

Ugh, that sounds absolutely awful! My mom gave birth to each of the three of us kids at home with the help of midwives, and so she couldn't be "sent home"--she was already there!  Plus I got to see both of my siblings being born (without major disruptions to my life--after all, I was still at home and could sleep through most of it), and plus it was cheaper than a hospital birth. When I have kids, I want to give birth at home. (Unless of course something goes wrong with my pregnancy, in which case any responsible midwife would refer me to an ob-gyn for a hospital birth.)

I would have had to have her at the hospital. We had some major problems. She wa, as one person put it, sunny side up, which stalls labor and causes backlabor. Her heart rate kept going down. Since my water broke they had to have me deliver within 24 hours. Since I wasn't dialting they wanted to do a c-section. I won't tell you how I avoided it but let me say I never want to go through that one again. She also lost weight the first two weeks after birth. It was a very stressful time. Can you tell why my IBS started then?
Madeline's birth was perfect with no problems. That one would have been great at home. I had a friend who has had all three of her's at home and is due the end of Sept. with number 4. I guess NY is pretty stict about midwives. There aren't really any in the area that will do home births. My friend's mom is a midwife and comes to stay with her until she delivers. Her mom lives in Illinois. So to the hospital we must go.
