My SIL got induced at 1pm today, and had her daughter at 4:01. The two of them are doing fine, and are trying to get some rest at the hospital. The baby was 8lbs, 13oz and was dry and shrivelling due to being 10 days overdue.
I can't wait to see pictures! I now have 4 1/2 hours to have my baby on the same day as hers! (I'm having contractions again)
Oh, and I'm less swollen! I can actually hold a pen right now, and I'm FINALLY writing out my Christmas Thank You cards that I've been putting off 'cause my fingers just could not wrap around that pen!

BABY NEWS!! (NOT)
Yeah, this is sort of like the opposite of baby news.
My SIL got induced today, so I might have baby news about HER baby later today, but nothing from us, I'm sure.
This seriously has got my panties in a knot. I'm probably the most miserable person you've ever met today. Good thing there are all these wires and miles between us all, 'cause I'm sure if you were hanging out with my sad sack sorry ass, you'd probably kick me in the teeth.
I FREAKING CRIED TODAY FOR ABSOLUTLY NO REASON, WHILE EATING A HOT DOG. At which point, Armondo says "Yeah, I get really emotional while eating hot dogs sometimes too."
Oh, in case anyone is keeping track, there are two people who guessed today as the birth date, and two who guessed tomorrow. No one guessed any later than tomorrow, so maybe I'm in luck.
Ok, I have to go now, I'm crying again, and can barely see the screen.

It's not fair!
I was in labour for over 16 hours yesterday. Then it stopped.
It's not fair!
In fact, the labour stopped right around the same time as the snow stopped. It's snowing again now. Maybe that's a good thing.
To answer some questions:
Giving birth in the hospital.
I watched "The Pursuit of Happyness" the other night.
My midwife is coming over today for a home visit.
I can still fit Armonodo's shoes, thank goodness.
Cherry was a week overdue.
Ryann, you could probably come for dinner tonight if you want. You should have come yesterday. Use your phone!
See you all later!

Baby Watch, 2007 continues *updated.
*update. It's freaking snowing. Like MAJORLY snowing. The baby HAS To come now!
It's 7pm, and my grumpy little Cherry has just hit the sack. She has been so grumpy the past couple of days. We totally can't figure out what's going on with her, and it's upsetting. Maybe she knows that her "only child" status is on the brink of change, and that's upsetting her, who knows?
Anyway, nothing is really progressing yet. The contractions are coming on a little stronger and a little faster, but it's still pretty minor labour. I'm pretty sure there's no turning back at this point. The baby is on her way, it's just a question of how long I'm going to have to put up with this crap. I'm not really in pain, which is nice, but it's uncomfortable. I actually had a little more energy today than usual. Well, maybe not "energy", but more of an uplifted mood anyway. Having something actually "happen" is lifting my spirits. Or maybe it's just the endorphins!
I got about 2 hours of sleep last night due to cranky child, combined with the start of labour, but I WAS able to get in a nice, long nap today, which made up for it.
Oh, and Armondo hit his thumb with a hammer this afternoon, and he's being such a whiney baby about it. It looks like it hurts a LOT, and I believe that it does, but in his own words: "I'm sorry, but I'm feeling really sucky about this! I know it's bad timing, but it's really taking a lot out of me!" And he is now resting in the bedroom with the TV on. Poor guy, hee hee. (is it bad to sort of be glad he's uncomfortable too?)
Oh yeah, it's DELURKING week right now. So, leave a comment! I'm sort of busy and not answering them all right now (you know, this whole having a baby thing sort of takes up some time) but leave a comment anyway! I'll love you for it!

Soft Labour.
I've been having "soft" labour since about 5 am. Nothing's progressing really. Just simple little contractions every 8-20 minutes.
I've been meaning to let you all know all day, but of course, today, being an important day, blogger is acting all strange. They are trying to force me to switch to the new version! It's not that I'm scared of change, it's just that I'm scared I'll lose everything. I have not backed up a single entry on here, and as you all know, my WHOLE LIFE is here. I don't want to lose all this stuff, 'cause lazy me hasn't written all the important stuff in Cherry's baby book, and I haven't backed up photos on my computer in MONTHS, so, this blog is sort of like my back up!
Ooh, only 6 minutes between those last two contractions!
Send baby delivery thoughts my way, ok? It's supposed to snow here today, and we've got a nasty wind storm going on, so it's the perfect sort of weather for a baby to make her appearance!

Week Forty.
I am in my fortieth week of pregnancy now. I have resolved that this pregnancy will NEVER end. It's ok though. Now that I've figured out that I'm going to be this way forever, it has taken a lot of stress away.
These last couple of weeks have brought on a lot of new stretch marks. I'm not so sure that I'm liking them as much as I used to. They look angry and very red, and they sort of bother me. Luckily, Armondo says he likes them. He says they feel neat, and he likes the look of them. Hopefully he's not lying, but I guess, even if he is, he's still sweet for saying it.
I've figured that part of the reason why the little one hasn't come out is 'cause she knows she's in trouble for teasing me almost a month ago with a night of contractions. I think she knows that as soon as she comes out, she's headed to the naughty corner!
But today would be a good day for her to appear. It's Elvis' Birthday! And, for the first time in weeks, I'm leaving the house tonight to do something FUN! I'm going to a movie! I get to go out and hang out in a dark room where no one will notice my football feet!

You asked for it!
Since you were all so insistent on seeing pictures, here ya go.
Can you see the stretch marks? One is in the shape of an "S". We call that one "Super Stretch Mark"
Let me just remind you: I am not responsible for the drool on your monitor as you try to make out with my foot. And, in case you find yourself completely unable to control yourself, just remember that it's probably ok to lick and kiss a regular old school monitor, but you might want to keep the slobber off of any LCD screens. I will not be responsible for any damage.
