My son was born November 11th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

Happy, healthy, content.
Now I just need to catch up on sleep!

Yup it does. The hospital doesn't want me, and this baby is just too damn comfortable. I'm also running out of ideas as to help progress this along! If I haven't had this kid by Wednesday, I guess I'm to get help from the hospital on Thursday, or at least that's the rumor.

Went to the doctors AGAIN today. The results from my blood test shows that I'm anemic, which I don't know why they didn't catch sooner since I was with TheChosenOne when I was pregnant with her.

I've been very tired the last couple of days. Getting up is hard when laying down, the lower back complains whenever I move and I waddle to get from point A to point B. I'm feeling very 'done' by this point, but aparently the little one isn't quite there yet!



Today is the proposed birth day of my little bundle of joy, but as of yet this baby has yet to even drop! Last week when I went in for what I was hoping would be my last prenadal doctors apointment my cervix hadn't even begun to… Continue
