9 days and counting Jessie

Forget Gadgetgirls request to know after your home and part way recovered How about taking a LT & Web Cam and putting the birth live on the Internet for everyone at TR?

At the very least after the delivery you can Peer Mail me from your bed with the outcome but get in before the drugs have worn off and while you still feel high as a kite after that time you'll not have the time available to play on a computer so I want to know ASAP!

Perhaps something like when our last was born will happen after the delivery the Midwife placed a set of locking forceps on the cord and then proceeded to pickup a pair of scissors to cut the cord and she got most adiment when I suggested that wasn't such a good idea she got all uppity and insisted that she knew what she was doing and I didn't have a clue so she cut the cord and ended up being covered in fetal blood. It was then that I told her that she needed a second pair of locking forceps on the cord and then cut between the forceps. :)

But at least she cut the right side and only had the contents of the placenta cover her.

Have you typically been early, late, or right on time in the previous "sessions"?

Just wondering if you will be smiling or waddling when I get back from my trip. :)

Take it VERY easy until then! That is NOT a request!

I feel better now. :p

YES I'm sure it's human! So was my LAST 9 pounder. I'm good at making big babies. They HAVE to be BIG so they can compete with their siblings for food and attention as soon as they come out!

I hope your eyes don't smart too much when it is on the way out. :^O
We've just had a study released here about the cost of having a child and they cost us a little over the 1 Million $ mark just to get them to the end of school and that doesn't include Uni just High School. With 5 you must be making a lot of money or living below the poverty line. Hopefully it's the former as the last time I was in the States the pay rates shocked me particularly in NY as I don't see how most people could afford to live and just get to and from work. Some bright spark told me that they lived at work and where provided everything necessary and that was the reason for the low pay rates. It actually made sense too. The cost of things over there was terrible in comparison to the wages being paid.

One guy came out and boasted about how much he was being paid per hour and my only comment was for that amount of money per hour I wouldn't consider picking up a screwdriver and he was at the same level as me.

Anyway remember the Notebook and Web Cam and lets know the URL that it will be broadcast to I'll watch on just to see that you both get through the birth A OK. :p

You can Peer Mail me with the URL so you don't have to worry about some of the others getting the URL and seeing things that you don't want them to see. :D
