This is Julie again, with my latest and final update of the birthing process. Next one will be from the other friend (I don’t know who it is, or I’d say *l*).
Mike called last night around ten thirty to let me know that they were still laboring, but not making fast progress. She was dilated [...]

I couldn’t stand it. I called them. I figured if they were in the middle of things, they wouldn’t answer. *lol* Anyway, Mike says they are still there and Carrie is having contractions and he’s so proud of her. It’s so sweet I’m crying. Seriously! He also said that [...]

Hi, I’m Julie. I just wanted to post a quick update for Carrie. I don’t really have much to report at this point, but I figured people would want to know something, even if it’s not much.
Carrie called me around 2:00 pm today (that’s eastern standard US) to tell me she was at [...]

The hospital just called and they had an opening. We are on our way there for the induction, just as soon as my mom gets her shirt ironed.
I’M SCARED!!!!

I’m scared. I’m going to have a baby tomorrow. I can’t think of many things that are much scarier than that. Of course, I am excited as well, but . . . but. . . but. . . am I really ready for this? Is it possible for [...]

But not that day. Unfortunately. Today is the day I lose my husband to a Wheel of Time induced stupor. Ever since we learned the due date of the babe and the book I’ve been convinced that they will coincide and Mike will sit in the corner of the delivery room, reading [...]

This week seems to have heralded in a new era of sleep. I’m actually getting some. That shall end on Thursday. It seems unlikely to happen before then.
I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, so we had a great time learning that my cervix is closed off tighter than a nun’s. [...]

No early morning post from me! Other than the typical pregnant lady bathroom breaks, I didn’t have to get up in middle of the night and entertain myself. This may very well be the last “sleep through the night” night I have in months, or even years. I can’t believe that by this [...]

It’s time for my usual early morning sunshine. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate waking up at four in the morning? This is why I used to take sleeping pills. I thought I’d be able to fall back asleep this morning, but then I started thinking about a horrible case [...]

It’s only 10:30 am and I’m already tired of bed rest! Don’t worry, though. I am being good and am sticking to it and using my mom as my maid. I do not want to get full-fledged eclampsia. I want to thank you all for the well wishes and comments. I should respond [...]
