just under 5 hours of labor

( Cut because it's really long and a little gross )

For those of you keeping score, still no baby.  Still no signs of impending baby, other than my giant belly. She hasn't dropped more and I haven't had any of the other TMI signs of labor ( Read more... )

For the record.

40 weeks+.  My due date was on Friday.

What's Up Physically This Week?
Um, not as much as I would like.  I'm having some completely irregular contractions. They're not painful, mainly just tightening. I've had some stabbing pains that I assume is baby pushing into my pelvis, though she hasn't really dropped much ( Read more... )

Here's what Rob Brezsney and his Free Will Astrology cooked up for me this week.

Not exactly a comforting thought when we're sailing past the baby's due date. Nothing needs to get accelerated right now & things aging in my uterus is not a good thing.

Of course if this means a quick labor, that would be great. Just not too quick. I'm supposed to ( Read more... )

hypersteve  is in California right now, lounging by the pool and napping probably, gathering his energy for the non-stop onslaught that is San Diego Comicon.  In the meantime I've made myself a giant list of things to do that are all about getting our house ready for the new babe.  I'm in full on nesting mode.  So far today I've finished up all the shelving ( Read more... )
