Excuse me, I’m busy this morning
April 8th, 2006 @ 10:06 am

It’s Saturday morning. You know what that means? It means today is the day that we should be taking my Mom’s advice on how to start labor.

But since The King fell asleep on the couch last night, the only snuggling that happened was between Preston (the cat) and I. And it was lovely. But probably won’t start labor.

The phone rang this morning and The King was sure it was going to be my Mom. This is how he said that conversation would go:

The King: Why are you calling us? We’re busy. I’ve got Isabel hanging from the ceiling with some sort of contraption to help with the hard-core sex and the inducing of labor.

My Mom: Oh, how’s she feeling? Any contractions yet?

The King: I can’t really talk right now. I need both of my hands free. Oh, and I’ve got something in my mouth. We’ll call you if this works. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thank goodness it wasn’t her on the phone.

They're just my family · We're having a baby

    That’s great. It’s almost too bad it wasn’t your mom. You know, just to see if he would have gone through with it.

    DUDE. I’m still traumatized by the nurses recommending nipple stimulation in front of my mom…and then being so desperate to get the baby OUT that I did it. And hearing her ask how it went. And having to do it two times a night for two nights. The nurses recommended THREE 20 minute sessions a night. Awful. Don’t do it. Please. Actually, maybe you’re in the hospital now?! Or maybe you’re out with the King buying a swing and gimp mask?

    I guess I’m the only one who wishes it *was* her. Because that? Would have been hilarious.

    :) That would have been hilariously funny! This past Saturday my husband and I were sitting on the couch and at about 10 am the phone rang. We both said “Hi Mom!” before even picking up the phone, because we knew it was her. And it was.

    Baby here yet? I keep checking your site, but I guess you might actually be in the hospital right now. Hope everything is okay. Can’t wait to hear what name you picked. Will it be Florian??
