One of the hardest things to do with a giant belly bump: shave my legs! Honestly, I could care less if I have hairy legs or not, but I can’t stand it when they reach a certain point and scratch me while I’m trying to sleep, so today was shaving day. [...]

I’ve been tagged by Mo for a meme, so since I’m just sitting here being bored I may as well do it. I was sleeping quite peacefully until an angry bird started demanding entrance into my bedroom window. Crazy critter!
Remove the blog at #1 from the following list and bump every one up [...]

I was knocked out of my morning entry habit by a long sleep-in this morning. I was awake a lot of the night with cramps, so it was nice to finally conk out and sleep till 10 am, even if I did wake up in the biggest puddle of drool found outside a St. [...]

I mentioned before that I wanted an interesting quilt block to use as my focal point during labor. Honestly, I’m not quite sure how much faith [...]

This kid is not getting the message that it’s time to vacate his happy little home. I haven’t really tried any of the folk “remedies” to get him to come early, but I have been bouncing up and down, trying to force him out. I begged Mike to reach in there and pull him [...]

Why does false labor always happen in middle of the night? I’m so tired now, but I don’t think I’ll be napping today. My stomach is stretched so taut that every time the boy moves it feels like he’s going to burst through the skin. Did I mention he really likes moving? [...]

Setting: On my way to the train station to pick up Mike.
Me: sees police car in review mirror I’m going to get pulled over. Damn damn damn. I’m going to get pulled over and cry.
Blue lights flashing in my rearview. . .
Officer: walks up to window and stares at me
