We had a midwife’s appointment this morning. Sadly, the midwife who went on record as saying she’d be “very surprised” to see us back wasn’t there. To make matters worse, today’s midwife was very noncommittal (if totally honest) about my impending labor: “days to another week”. Oy.
Birdie and I had another “non stress test” which s/he aced again.
As for me, I’m tired and would likely fail any other test. My nights consist of what I’ve come to call “vampire contractions”: starting at 2am for the past 5-7 nights, I’ve had very exciting, very painful regular contractions that disappear completely come sunrise.
Behold my ennui:
Daniel, however, is hero husband and keeps my spirits up:
He’s also clearrly responsible for escalating health care costs.




Hang in there Em! I’m Birdie watching from class in LA : )
Thinking of you guys. Constantly.
Dan, is this really the end of us?
Em, even in the throws of ennui, you are a beauty. Thanks for sharing the photographs.
Only if the baby is brown. You must be thrilled to have a Puerto Rican nominated to the Supreme Court!
