My sister is on her way to town so I would like to give birth in about four hours. Can someone arrange that for me? I invited her to be there with me for my last birth. She lives several hours away so I called her at four in the morning once I was in the hospital in labor and told her to get her butt up here. She arrived at ten and Lovely was born at noon.

I have to admit I was mad too! My contractions were ten minutes apart all evening but I finally fell asleep. Only once did a really hard one wake me up but I went right back to sleep and that was it. The good news is that yesterday my midwife measured the baby to be 9 pounds 12 http://laragallagher.com/blog/2008/05/no-baby.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Lazy Organizer)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496768.post-5549667397011215011Wed, 14 May 2008 05:11:00 +00002008-05-13T23:14:50.459-06:00Baby NotesAre we going to have a baby tomorrow? It's possible. I had an appointment today. First I was hooked up for a stress test to see if the baby's heart rate was normal because I am four days overdue. It seemed to be doing fine even through my contractions (which I've been having for weeks and weeks so I thought nothing of them). Then I saw my midwife and she did this to me.

Except that you sneak back in bed at 7:00 in the morning so you can hide from the kids when they get up. Because as painful as the bed is you still can't get out of it before 10:00 a.m. Except to get up to go to the bathroom 27 times. You stop going to the gym because you are lazy and you are starting to scare people.http://laragallagher.com/blog/2008/04/what-its-like-being-38-weeks-pregnant.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Lazy Organizer)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496768.post-1501157269585253282Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:07:00 +00002008-04-26T16:59:57.652-06:00RecipesTammy, The Happy Housewife has gotten me hooked on bagels!!!
