C-Jo in her first hooded track suit and stuff.

Right now she is so cute it doesn't matter that I am not really sleeping. And so far the diaper tally is on daddy's side as I have changed a grand total of maybe 10 and he has changed something like a thousand, I think.

Thumbelina.

??? Yeah, mostly I can't see straight. And thats right, you can see down my shirt. Dad took the photo. Take it up with him.

Finally.

Labor started at 345am on Tuesday June 19th, and ended at 131pm the same day with the birth of our daughter.
It was awesome.
Here are some photos. I will write more later.
We love her so much. She changes every day.
Today she is one week old.

The time has come... and gone.

Well, she was due to show up on the 12th.
Of course, she just stayed put.
According to the tests and the doctor, everything is fine, and she is healthy, and its common for first babies to be overdue.
So we wait.
And she swims.
Her father is more stressed out than I am, but I am more uncomfortable. I am not sure if either one is worse.
I look forward to her arrival as I can no longer put my own pants on or my shoes.

"I went to the doctor and the doctor said..."

...that there was no change in dilation but the baby was definitely lower and on the launching pad.
She is going to 'launch' out of my vagina, I guess. Like a rocket? Scary prospect.
All I know is that I am really looking forward to giving birth. I watch ANYTHING on tv about birth or babies, I get all teary and stuff and my husband makes fun of me. Like when we watched The Happiest Baby on the Block dvd, I got all snively. Just seeing a newborn on screen is enough to set me off.
(I love this dvd, by the way. The newborn reaction is amazing. I can't wait to try it out for myself.)
And at this point, I can't watch violence toward children of any age anymore. Not in movies, not on tv... I can't take it. I literally want to scream. I don't, of course, but the rising up in my gut is definitely there.
I am going to eat some breakfast now. I am happy to announce that I can now eat full portions as I have more room for my stomach. However, I pee every 20 minutes.
