Live! Labor Update! Adult Material!

Shoot! I forgot all that breathing stuff which never really worked the last time anyway...excuse me for a minute...okay...oh and I should qualify the post title with "maybe." Except that I've been having perfectly spaced contractions for the past three hours...perfectly spaced meaning when lying in bed and trying to sleep, just as I almost drift off, along comes another. Just as I convince myself they'll stop and restart at a more convenient hour, along comes another. So I've given up on sleep for now.
What I wanted to take up with you is this natural chilbirth thing. uhhhhhhh. Cleansing breath. What in the heck? How can I get an IV drip of Stadol at my house? I don't particularly want to go to the hospital at 2:30 a.m. only to get monitored and prodded and such, but I sure could use the drugs, and maybe I could hit the tub too. Actually I would feel kind of silly going in with contractions 6 minutes apart. But what are you natural people thinking? How did you do it? I am not cut out for this kind of.......................................................................................................................................discomfort, even though I now must brag that my midwife used the word beautiful to describe my pelvis. Maybe she even said perfect. C'mon, how many of you ladies have a PERFECT pelvis?

Random update

I like to have yogurt in the house so Trevor can eat it...mostly so he can ask for it since I love the way he says it, almost like someone's name: "Yo-Gret."
Pillows are the best toys for two year-olds.
Our baby still hasn't come out, although last night it seemed like he/she wanted to.
Halloween was super fun...we trick or treated just a little in the neighborhood, and it was plenty, then had some snacks over at the Dasenkos'...it was nice to not drive anywhere, and the best thing was that Trevor forgot about all the loot he collected by the next morning, so Todd and I kept sneaking it all day.
