I’ve started singing along with songs to get through the contractions. But Mariah the nurse came along and put me in an oxygen mask for 20 minutes. I’m not sure why… But do you know how hard it is to song in an oxygen mask? — wait do you think that’s why she put me [...]

Just a blog to say that I’ve started having contractions, so my posts from now on will be shorter and a lot less pithier. Contractions don’t just hurt. They also come with the twin sensations of period cramps and the feeling that you really, really have to poo. Not cool, man, not cool. No word [...]

Grr! So I totally lost the blog that I wrote while I was waiting for the cervidil (sp?) to be administered. So annoyed, but here are the highlights: 1) Maybe In-N-Out wasn’t such a good idea. Hello indigestion. 2) My nurse’s name is Mariah, and she was late b/c she was tending to twins that [...]

Wow, so I guess it’s almost time to go to the hospital. CH and Angela got In-N-Out for our last pre-baby meal, and that’s all eaten. CH is wrapping up the many power cords that we’ll need to stay sane at the hospital (yes, we’re nerds to our deepest core). He’s also showing Angela all [...]

Any good movie suggestions? Still not freaking out, even though we’re getting pretty close here, and I’m a little concerned that I [...]

Trying to watch the 4th season of “Weeds” but so far have been interrupted by a couple of family calls, asking when and how the baby will be coming. Apparently no one in my family reads my blog, which makes me wonder about what new-fangled media Betty’s gen will come up with and if I’ll [...]

Nothing new to report. Angela is taking a much-deserved nap, since she left out at 6am this morning. CH has turned on The History Channel, and I’m returning all of my emails and syncing my phone for the last time pre-baby (I downloaded both Bat for Lashes albums after hearing an interview with her on [...]

Hi Guys! Since I’m going into the hospital tonight, in order to get induced tomorrow morning, I figured that I’d start liveblogging about it now, since I might not be able to later. Right now, things are extremely calm. I’m writing this on the couch. My sister-in-law, Angela is reading a Charlaine Harris (True Blood) [...]
