Today officially began the first day of my maternity leave. I am now 3 days overdue with no clear end in sight. Not exactly shocking information. I am facing the realization that this child, much like Stella, will have to be forced from my womb at gunpoint.
My mother (1/2 of the Walston labor coaching team) is camped here for the long haul and we are now spending our days trying to pretend we aren’t tired of waiting for this child to SHOW UP ALREADY! I received four phone calls on my actual due date and have received at least 3 a day every day since asking me if I am in labor yet. And for any of you who are wondering right now: No, I am not in labor.
are you in labor now? how about now?
…um, new baby name idea:
Patience.
Andrea: No. No. But thanks for asking.
Jodie: I think this name may actually be on Steve’s short list, however you have to do the cool Axl Rose (of Guns ‘N Roses) pelvic swirl and whistle while you say it.
How bout now?
I have heard that eating eggplant parmesana is a sure labor inducer, although it probably has to be served with a side of petosin! Still–woth a try–put Steve right on it!
…now?
