MFNLaw - vibes for you. I did hear somebody (possibly a crackpot) on CNN suggesting that some of the bailout money could be used for the car industry. (Assuming that there is any of it left.)

PK! And ND! - horrible news - lots of ~cancer-ma to you and the critters.

Did I mention here that my husband nearly fainted during the amnio?

Bwah! (but don't tell him I said that)

I am remarkably UNinspired today.

Ditto. Our holiday lunch is today, so I have to be a little dressed up, plus I really should get gas before I drive to work and all I can think of is coffeeeee.

Word of the day: weltschmerz!

I just saw the Pink Tree! I am in love.

Yeah, it was more of a "touch me and you die" vibe.

This. And Demerol FTW! I even tried to enunciate very carefully so they wouldn't skip any doses.

Word of the day: weltschmerz!

If Country is the Music of Pain, then German is the Language of Pain.

Put me in this corner, too. I've been sick for 2 weeks after being sick exactly 1 month ago. I can't do this getting an upper resp. infection every month again this year. I just can't. I know I need to get used to the multitudinous kid germs, but I won't make it if I keep this up. One more week then winter break.

I adore the pink tree. It is way too cute for words.

Bagel and coffee:

And, never been in labor, but I do adore the demoral (sp?). Dear me, that's lovely stuff.

Thanks! I still have some fine tuning to do, but I am ridiculously tickled by it.

I came in early and cranked out one pile of the work I am behind on. still 3-4 more piles to go, but WHOOT!

Although at one point I did say to a very close and supportive husband, "Dude, your breath sucks!" He went and bought a toothbrush from the vending machine. Labor #2 was too fast for making out.

Hee. This makes me think that your experience is common enough that they keep toothbrushes handy in that L&D.

Orgasms during childbirth?

I'm a size queen, but that's rediculous.

Maybe the women who have these "orgasms" just have really really REALLY crummy sex all the time?

Sparky! Over here! Look at me!

Ignore the horrible childbirth stories. I know three women, THREE WOMEN who had painless contractions. Two of them didn't even know they were in labor and barely made it to the hospital.

Now, birth didn't feel like a tickle-fight (much less an orgaasm) but it was pretty smooth having not had much labor in their labor.

THREE.
