(for the record – no baby, the contractions are calm for the moment, and I’m officially doing my best to stay pregnant for the week, as childcare issues would be huge if I go into labor before Saturday afternoon) I’m really pleased with how close my kids are. At least at the moment. Not that …

I called to find out if I should stop taking the benedryl and actually let the contractions just continue and maybe turn into something. I was afraid that I was constantly starting to go into labor and then stopping it before it got really going by taking the sedative… and he said it’s not real …

After much thought (and the gradual acceptance that this baby is in no mood to join the party yet), I’ve concluded that May is a nice month for a baby. I always liked May better than April anyway. April is associated with rain – May with flowers. I like flowers. And as of my doctor’s …

Still with the contractions – but not in labor. I feel like I’m living in this odd holding pattern, any plans I make are tentative, everything. Even something as simple as planning to take Jess to dance, in the back of my mind, I’m making contingency plans about what I’ll do if my water suddenly …

This has to be a record for me – three posts in one day. But I just got back from going out to dinner with my two cherubs. We walked a couple of blocks over and had pizza together. We were the only ones in the restaurant, and the owner put on cartoons for them …
