It has been a very long day. We have transfered care to a local hospital due to the situation with Heather not dilating.

I'm not going to go into details.

For now:
Things are moving along well again. No baby yet. Soon.

Heather is snoring next to me... which is what we all wanted.

Things are looking much better.

Just back from the hospital/birthing centre in Capitol Hill ( Read more... )

We are back at BC:4

The post made earlier was my dealing with moving back into BC:3 again.

Last night I gave shimmeringjemmy 4 oz of warm red wine and a hot bath to slow her uterus down. This was to give it time to rest and recuperate.

( Medical details... you may wish to skip. )

So... my manager told me that with his first child he kept telling people he was at Defcon 4.

So, I've decided to make BirthCon.

A five level (denoted by numbers not colours) system to give the world and idea where I am.

Birthcon 5 (BC:5) - shimmeringjemmy is Pregnant
Birthcon 4 (BC:4) - She is not in labour. (this makes more sense after BC:3 ( Read more... )

Today shimmeringjemmy made a post that painting is difficult work at 9 months of pregnancy. She went so far to say...

That at 9 months pregnant, an hour of painting makes me feel like a pre-pregnant me just hiked 6 miles. Uphill. In the snow. With a duck on my head.

You, know... you really shouldn't make comments around me like this.

As shimmeringjemmy has posted... all is well in baby land. The baby is right where it is supposed to be facing in the right direction.

Much better experience with the ultrasound this time around.

And yes.. there is a picture.
