Number Three?

Monday, April 17th, 2006

We were scheduled to be induced yesterday.
We sat by the phone all day long.
They never called.
I called this morning.
They just called me back.
We’re #3 in line to be induced today.

I decided to just take things easy this morning and didn’t get to work until almost 10:00. That was nice. But [...]

Things that a women who is 40 weeks pregnant shouldn’t have to deal with:

Monday, April 10th, 2006

Phone calls from everybody and their dog asking if you’ve had the baby yet. And when you screen your calls and don’t call them right back, they think you have had the baby. And they keep calling. So you might as well just pick up the phone by saying, “no baby yet! Quit calling!”

Excuse me, I’m busy this morning

Saturday, April 8th, 2006

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 [...]
