Well, I know some of you have been dreading the idea of a V-day baby, but I decided to approach the holiday with the idea that there is no more pure manifestation of love than a baby, so why not today? Today could be downright perfect. And Hallmark will never again have dibs in my book if it becomes a Birth Day. Also, my funny friend pointed out that a crafty guy born 2/14 could use that fact to woo girls-- a natural born romantic of sorts.
All that said, I don't know who I have thumping around still, or when he or she might get around to showing up. And I trust you amazing women. I do. Otherwise I might think perhaps I will in fact be the FIRST person who does in fact give birth to at least a toddler.
But you are right that these babies are going to get here, as evidenced by all the amazing birth stories that pop up every day. The further I get from Monday's marathon of contractions that just pooped out, the more I realize there is just no telling when this baby will decide it is REALLY time. I am trying to get a little more positive and patient. Or at least not approach the world with the warmth and sensitivity of a wet, cornered badger, which has been my modus operandi for days. I realized I might be a bit too hormonal when the corner store was out of nutty buddy ice cream cones and I considered some sort of riot or firebomb as my first response...One could argue that they should somehow know better than to deprive a very very pregnant woman of her chosen dessert, but I suppose I could be a bit more forgiving.

not really expecting anything, but it's a start.

I'm so excited. And suddenly scared LOL. I really need to be practicing my hypnobabies but it's hard home alone with both kids, and DS is sick so I can't send them to a friend's for 45 minutes. Oh well. I know it will all be fine. I just can't believe we're actually going to have another person in the house soon. It's so surreal. It totally hasn't hit me that I'm going to have a baby. Don't you think I should know by now????
Bad Mama!!!!! I used to love waking up to a red heart of candy on my nightstand. But in my defense I was going to go out yesterday but couldn't bc of DS's fever...DH is away so no V-day special fun for us. He does want to take me to a show sometime next week when he gets back. But I've been afraid to buy tickets in case the baby comes first LOL....that's a lot of money if you don't find someone to buy them from you!
, DH wished me a Happy V-day this morning and called me his valentine girl. I said WHAT? What do you want from me?
He was just being cute, which is not normal for him! He's been in such a good mood the last two days, it seems like everyone on in the house has had a mood shift, be it whiney/clingy/goofy/happy, it's a sign I think! Impending arrival of newest member of the family!!!!! EEK, 38.5 today!!!!
