It's a doozie.
It's Sunday.
I'm having a baby tomorrow.
TOMORROW.
I feel like Baby E is going to have a cone head, poor kid. I think we are both in agreement when we say this symbiotic relationship needs to take the next step. Let's have an external symbiotic relationship. Yes. One without pelvises and a uterus and a cervix to deal with. One where Baby E's legs can TRULY stretch out in their long glory. One where I can once again put my underwear on without falling over. It is time.
The other night, as I was in the midst of my 3,000th contraction, I said, "Oh, this one is a doozie."
Gus was sitting next to me and suddenly said, "Papa doozie too?"
Then he changed his mind.
"No Mama doozie, PAPA doozie."
I happily agreed, said I am more than happy to share in the dooziness of pregnancy and labor. Of course, John said he would happily share, too, but that's the right thing to say...not necessarily how you would really feel if your insides were buckling. I appreciated the sentiment, nonetheless.
My Mom is visiting right now. The thought was that she would be helping out with a three-week old baby. Now she's going to see a newborn. I told her this morning that I thought Baby E was going to weight 7 lbs 13 oz.
She guessed 8 lbs 12 oz.
If I may borrow from my favorite show these days, Grey's Anatomy, I hope for the sake of my va-jay-jay she's wrong.

Yeah! Tomorrow is the big day! Lucas was 8 lbs. 3 oz. and Jill over 9 lbs., so don't worry it can be done. Megan was a little 6 lbs. 12 oz. I think you've passed that point.
Saying a prayer for you, Baby E, John and Gus (grandma, too).
Love
Pat

Oh my, I hope for the sake of your va-jay-jay that baby E isn't > 8.12, but seriously, after 8 lbs, it probably doesn't matter....this from the parent of two fabulously wonderful adopted children! my delivery was painless, the wait was excrutiating.... it was a trade-off. can't wait to hear from someone.
