Just preparing myself for the big day….
The StoryPosted by Emily on February 25, 2010
I pulled this together from a few emails I sent people asking specific questions….
It really was smooth sailing until after the actual birth. I went in Wed night to be induced Thurs morning at my drs insistence, but I went into labor Wed night while at the hospital. Which I was really happy about because [...]
Baby GirlPosted by Emily on February 18, 2010
So I went into labor last night. And holy cow is it a long story. Yeah for not having to be induced though. Apparently dr knew what he was talking about that it could be any time.

Looks like it’s baby timePosted by Emily on February 16, 2010
It frankly bothers me that women are induced so often. Really, it does. Now I understand more why that happens though, because guess who just lost the induction battle? My plan: Be induced if nothing is happening a week after the “due date.” My doctor’s plan: Be induced Thursday.
Skipping the details of my lost battle, [...]
And There’s a Jacuzzi Tub in Each Delivery RoomPosted by Emily on February 4, 2010
Since I doubt I would be able to bargain going more than a week late these days, it’s pretty much a given there will be a baby here in the next three weeks. Two weeks and on or close to the “due date” wouldn’t be bad. Mostly I want to avoid going late so that [...]
New PicturePosted by Emily on January 11, 2010
Just kidding! I actually don’t feel huge or anything, it’s just a little awkward to roll out of bed with a hurt bum.
How cute is that whale? OK, I’m a little freaked out by the clear fin, but I’m not even sure I should admit that.
The Best Laid PlansPosted by Emily on January 5, 2010
As I have alluded and linked to, I fell on my bum last week- hard. I’m still avoiding sitting with all my might. Also, getting up from a sitting position is pure torture, if for some reason I have to do that a few times in a row, I start to believe I’m dying a [...]
I’m having a baby next month!Posted by Emily on January 3, 2010
At least, that’s the plan. Interesting thing is that she could be born in the end of January, or the beginning of March, and still be considered “term.” (37-42 weeks) Way to keep up the mystery.
We now have enough baby stuff that I think we could get by, other than picking up diapers and wipes [...]
Evening the ScorePosted by Emily on December 30, 2009
I just got another point. The rash on my belly is completely GONE, and I didn’t even put anything on it.
So, for anyone that’s counting, that would be …
Pregnancy: Billion and two
Pregnant Lady: 5
Can’t hold me down.
Perfectly Ridiculous Comment for the DayPosted by Emily on December 23, 2009
“Oh, I’m sorry you weren’t feeling well, I had heartburn during my third pregnancy so I know how you feel.”
That’s right, the woman just compared normal heartburn to my ulcerated stomach. It was in an email and I didn’t know how to respond to it. So you can understand my bafflement; let me tell you [...]
Sometimes I think Murphy’s Law could be my life statementPosted by Emily on
So you shouldn’t fear if you’ve never been pregnant that you’ll be like me. I’m weird.
Here’s the latest and greatest:
I have planter fasciitis in my right foot.
OK, that’s true, but not the latest and greatest.
I was in the hospital for approximately, um, I don’t know, EVER yesterday.
I went to my regular appointment yesterday, and it [...]
