I'm a bit worried. She's a tiny little thing. How long do they usually let a woman be in labor before deciding to do a c-section?

I'm not sure, sj. But, I think it has to do with other factors, as well as the amount of time in labor....if the baby is doing fine.

Depends on if her waters have broken or been broken. After that, they usually have you on the clock: 24 hours with no baby, and it's C-time.

Susan was in labor for something like three days. One of my best friends went about 36 hours before she delivered, and a person on my flist was in labor for 4 days.

I didn't find out if her water broke or not. I guess I am going to bed and calling Mom first thing in the morning. I just really wanted to know that the baby was born and what her name is before I did.

Tomorrow, I get to learn how to use my school's website and get my password and such, so I really should sleep.

yay on the new apartment vw

It's times like these that I realize how wrong my little pea-sized brain can be sometimes.

It's always so amazing to me how many people we touch, even though it sometimes doesn't feel like we do. I'm glad this part of your brain is in check, vw.

eta: Way to go, Plei!

Tanuki generally comes in to visit me when I am having a bath. Twice as a kitten she joined me. Once walking across my knees - and the other MUCH MORE TRAUMATIC time -- falling into the water.

Heh. The time that The Cat Daniel fell into the bath is still enshrined in memory as one of the funniest things EVER. Happily I was not in the bath at the time. Then there was the time I was in the bath and he fell in - that was less fun, but somehow he levitated back off me and out of the bath without too much bloodshed. The number of near-misses is just ridiculous.

That they're buggers is kinda awesome.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't slash the Cats of Reason!

Yay for VW, careful hugs for P-C, congratulatory cake and streamers for Plei & the comic chicks and punctuation for all those who need it.

Another day, another dead cockroach. YAY. Although, to be fair, dead ones are just icky - it's the living ones that are truly scream-inducing, because of the possibility that they might touch you (in which case the sky would fall, the seas would run red, cats would mate with dogs, it'd be a whole End of The World deal). The dead ones, nsm an issue with the jumping and skittering. Insh'allah.

Unless it's just pretending.

...hmm. Meanwhile, I'm off to have a bath, hoping that I managed to get most of the poison out of it. Cause poison? Not my favourite bath salt. No sir.

Oooh, also?

HAPPY TEPPYDAY!!!!

HAPPY TEPPYDAY!!!!

I second that emotion.

Please don't kill me for that, I'm doped up on valerian root, and can't sense make.

Awesome, Plei. And I say that with all awesomeness.
