post #201 of 213
No leap day baby!

I've been having contractions like crazy today and we stayed down the mountain just in case...

I'm birthing at the hospital...after all the complications with my first birth we really felt like it was the best option...I'm not convinced right now it's about a 45 minute drive to the hospital without traffic...and we live in southern california there is no such thing as NO traffic...

I had an OB appointment yesterday and I'm 3 cm dialated... /shrug I'm not expecting anything soon...maybe that means I'll go into labor tomorrow...

DH starts his student teaching assignment on Monday. He can't really *miss* any of this so it kinda stinks for us...I mean he will call in if I'm in labor during the work day, but we REALLY need him to be there. However...the day I turn 42 weeks he goes off for a 2 week spring break...so that 42 week mark is looking pretty good again...if only I can make it to 42 weeks without killing someone...

I'd get an extra 2 weeks of paid leave...AND have DH home for the first two weeks...we shall see...

I'm miserably pregnant and hate moving around. Chasing Jacob is killing me. Nursing him is insanely killing me. I feel like a hippo. I feel like a horrible awful mother. We have watched more movies the last few days than I care to admit. This too shall pass....I know i know.

I know I haven't been very active in the thread but my brain is so wrapped up in me that I feel bad typing...

PS for the praying types...keep our family in your prayers...my paycheck is on HOLD because of a stupid clerical error and it's going to be several weeks before they release it...DH hasn't been working in 7 weeks...so to say we are broke is the biggest understatement of the century...but we *have* the money..my stupid employer just won't let me have it.


*hugs*

Famous last words apparently. Been seriously painfully contracting for the last hour. We are getting the house picked up then headed out.

barcelona will get a text for updates. In 2005 there was no Wi-Fi at my hospital...but maybe they have come out of the dark ages since then...

Oh I was just about to pray for you to hold out til 42 weeks, but I will now pray for an easy and gentle birth AND for your paycheck issues to be resolved.

Have a good baby!!!!!

Safe birthing, kaspirant. We'll do some serious money-materialising visualisations for you while you're gone, you just go have a baby :

Gentle birthing and big money vibes headed your way, kaspirant. I can't wait to hear details

I totally understand the puppy pack now that I have a toddler. And they look much less oppressive than the 70s harness that Spughy described, which sounds kind of S&M. My bad parent parking lot moment was last summer while I was working in the garden (community garden in an open area of our apartment complex). There's a playground right next to the garden, and Neela had been playing there happily only moments before, when I was digging and heard some honking. There she was, in the middle of the parking lot, standing in front of a neighbour's car
