"Making up"?
Where have you been?
Its common knowledge in the Doula community.

Sure you're not confusing her with Michelle Phillips?

Jessie, hang in there and just think about that lovely little baby you'll have soon.

I guess you have a nice place to hold your drink...trying to help you see the bright side.

Hope your story has a happy ending...

I gather that the intention is supposed to be complimentary at best, or just an idle observation, but not only is the comparison's value to the conversation completely lost on me, I feel depersonalised for it. I can't imagine I'm the only one.[/brief wallow in hijacked part of thread]

Yeah, I just hate it how I can't take a walk down the beach without people mistaking me for Dolph Lungren... hee hee hee

Yeah, it gets old, the way I have to pry 'em off with a crowbar.

Not.

I think that each and every one of us guys should make an effort to find out who the fellow was who first convinced women that this method would work, and then we should each give him ten dollars.

(Same goes for the guy who invented denim skirts.)

I'll contribute my $20 (I've got two kids)...

Also, I vote that we award the Nobel Prize for Contribution to Humanity to the person who invented spandex.

My husband and I just did the weight comparison test. To the tenth of a pound, we weigh the same. Oh geez.

Are you rock-solid sure about that?

You consider denim skirts particularly...um...nice?

We've used all of the methods mentioned, except for curry. My children all came about a week early. Does my husband owe anyone here $10?

Really. Cave paintings...anything like that. Perhaps this one is an artiste, and is leaving an oeuvre of his own.

Glad you posted- I wondered just the other day if your new little one had arrived.

I can also sympathize. Both of my girls were late- the second was over two weeks late. I finally got to the point I wanted to hit anyone who said"haven't you had that baby yet?"

My brother's band at the time was playing in a club, so decided we needed to go hear them. Then I just HAD to dance, much to my husband's horror. Sarah was born the next day, and it was an "easy" labor, if any labor could be termed "easy". So maybe you need a night out on the town.[/i]

When our 1st child was in the womb, the placenta had attached low so it forced my wife to be in bed at about 6 months; the 2nd one , i.e pasta arabiata, she was bed ridden at 3 months. Guess what; third child- bed ridden after 2 months.

They all come out... even though they be teen agers at times.

So, what you're saying is: He weighs as much as two people...

Still pregnant. Hmph.

How is Joey? Is she excited?

All best wishes to all of you!

Thanks for asking, Carol. Yes, Joey is very excited. She talks about it all the time. This morning she said to me, "It's ok, Mommy. You'll feel better when the baby comes out. And you'll get your lap back!" She talks about her little brother a lot, too. I think it'll be a smooth transition, but one never knows.
