I have NINE June birthdays marked on my calendar, and half of those are family or in-laws. For the sake of my remembering any of them, I must insist that at least two of you move your birthdays to a less crowded month.
t waits...
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Teppy, I think I beat you on the birthday mention this year and mine is after yours.
I have unpacked another box and (mostly) dispursed it's contents to their proper homes! Opening a box of mine is like opening a box where five different people just randomly threw their stuff in. Too much stuff and too many different interests. Antique lace, pez dispensers, journals(I really hope I have finally unpacked them all), and random other stuff in this one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
t is accommodating
Fine. My birthday is now TODAY, thus freeing up June 27 for your in-laws. Cake, please!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Found a new OB/GYN and am making an appointment post-haste.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happies, JZ!!
(But I'm'a say right up front that I plan to wish you happies again on the 27th, because I'm just That Way.)

As long as it's okay with Jess and her in-laws, I'm good with that.
Yay! Pretty cake!

Happy birthday, "dear" JZ

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
IUDs are quite unlikely to be expelled spontaneously by a woman's uterus, but for some reason women who've never had children are more likely to do the expelling. I honestly don't know why that is from a physiologic standpoint.
AmyLiz, is it possible that your mom meant to say that they'd stripped her membranes and not actually broken her bag of water? Membranes are stripped sometimes a few days before the due date, as a very preliminary way of getting things started, but it's not the same thing as breaking the bag of water and people are often sent home from the clinic afterwards.
Even though she's not due until June 2, they may be trying to encourage labor for a number of reasons, such as levels of amniotic fluid that are tending towards the low side, the size of the baby, hypertension on your sister's part, or a whole host of other things.
