prose Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Not labour... Just annoying fake, irregular contractions. Real ones would be nice... Well, actually they wouldn't be nice, but at least they would be doing something more than just annoying me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Yeah, I know how that is. Just watch, you'll wake up at 4 am in labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Sorry I was doing important corporate thingies... When my first nephew was born. He was born at 2:33 AM. I lived only 6 minutes from the hospital so I rushed over. Prior to getting there, I stopped at an all night grocery store and picked up flowers, balloons and just for giggles, doughnuts. When I arrived, my nephew was getting his first meal so I stayed outside the room and sent the gifts in with the nurse. After a few minutes, they wheeled out the balogna loaf that would be my godson and I went in. The balloons were floating randomly in the corner, the flowers were literally thrown on the floor, My sister was double fisting the doughnuts into her mouth. Apparently 28 hours of labor can make someone hungry. The hospital kitchen doesn't open until 6:00 AM so if you end up having a baby in the wee hours Bring doughnuts.

Jaime Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I have another piece of advice that no one has ever ever used. I've never understood the whole "videotape" thing with birthing. When would someone sit down and watch that? After the Thanksgiving meal? Christmas morning? I think most of them just end up sitting on a shelf or in drawer. So here's my suggestion If one needs a memento of the birth ( Honestly I always thought the kid would suffice) then how about a caricature drawing? Imagine Prose appropriately covered with a sheet. Cartoon tears coming out of her eyes. Prose's husband and doctor standing next to the bed with the big caricature teeth. And a giant head with a smile coming out from under the sheet. Now see that's something you could hang in the nursery!! Everyone could enjoy that !! Yet no one seems to like that suggestion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd watch the video from time to time and cry. Especially when the kid gets to be a bratty teenager, just so I remember how much I love him.
