updates from joe
Apparently Cal is shoving down that corned beef and cabbage like some sort of Irish kid. If I'd known he liked sodium so much, I would have been lethally salting all his vegetables long ago. He (Cal, that is) will be in the bath and hopefully pajama-ed up by nine, so Joe can get back here and be bored along with me.
On a completely unrelated note: you know the benefit of having an anesthesiologist as a patient? That they instinctively untangle and pass back all the monitoring cords and whatnot under the IV tubing. I knew all that training was good for something.
my goal...
...is to have this kid before midnight, by the way. Did you hear that, kid? No more free ride. You're breathing air tomorrow.
The contractions are definitely stronger on Pitocin. I don't think I'm on the placebo arm of the study.
Also, my blog and my Twitter stream are apparently becoming one.

like some damn martyr or something
People keep walking in here all surprised that I'm just chilling here at 5cm without an epidural. Believe me, my pain threshold is not that high, it's just that I'm not that uncomfortable right now. And they keep asking me if I want my epidural now, for fear that I "won't be able to sit still" if I wait too long. Dude, I got wet tapped last time. I CAN AND WILL SIT STILL.
They just started the Pit, though, so I might be changing my tune soon.
(Is this weird that I'm blogging now? Maybe this is weird. But I have nothing left to do. I could watch CNN, but all they're showing is stuff about John Travolta's kid. I ordered some books from Amazon this weekend "for the hospital" but I guess I didn't order them early enough because they're not arriving until tomorrow.)

on the homefront
They haven't started the Pit to augment things yet, so I sent Joe home to take care of our extrauterine kid. Hopefully he'll at least have a chance to stuff in some dinner and get Cal at least ready for (if not into) bed before anything real starts happening here. Cal's first day back at school is tomorrow, and to say that he's been off his schedule is...something of an understatement. I told Joe I would call if things looked like they were going faster than expected, but I think we'll be OK. We live a fifteen minute walk from the hospital--two minutes by car.
