What else could it be? :shrug:

Lilith started this pool, right? :nod:

We know she likes Fussy & Lou as much as the rest of us do, right? :nod:

When you have a pool you have to have a prize, right? :nod:

We know Lilith wouldn't give anything but the best prize in the world for Fussy and Lou, right? :nod:

So what else could it be?!?!? :confused:




"Simple deduction, Watson." :cool:






:D

:roflmao:

Hmmm, I think my guess is comming soon............................"Lou are you in labor?!?!?!?!" :D



Or are you sleeping?

OK! Stop the goofing around now.:mad: Have Fussy tie you to the bumper of the car and drive you around the block a few times for a brisk walk. I still have 1-1/4 hours to beat SODA and still be 2nd to only OldFart.








:D

Tick Tock PF!!

I'm out.

A bit like the Melbourne Cup, my horse started at five to one and finished at a quarter past seven.

I'll go with Friday, Nov. 24 07:00 GMT

LMAO - well I'm still here with no baby, no labour pains and no clue what's happening.

Midwife appointment today though, so I'll try to get some more info out of her about when I'm likely to be in. On Monday, my Mum was convinced I'd have a baby by this weekend....now it's looking more doubtful!

That's okay, Lou, my guess wasn't until the 26th anyway. :)

Well there's been a development, but not necessarily a good one.

Just arrived back from the midwife's and my blood pressure is quite high and there is protein in my urine (sorry to be graphic folks) so they are a little bit worried I may be developing preeclampsia.

I've got to go to the hospital tomorrow where they'll have the results of my blood tests and based on that, they may decide to keep me in and induce me, depending on what they find. I can't decide whether I want them to keep me in and induce me (at least I won't be worrying about when it's going to happen and at what point to go to hospital etc) or whether I want to get the all clear (less complications is good, but will still be playing the waiting game with fear of developing it later still hanging over my head).

All in all the midwives (there happened to be two there today) and I feel it would be best just to go into labour naturally this evening, and have instructed us to have sex twice! In the meantime, I feel a little bit emotional and am not quite sure what to do with myself...I can't wait until Fussy comes home from work.

"The best laid plans of mice and men ...and expectant parents …" ;)

I think you have just confronted the FIRST coin tossing dilemma of real life parenthood. :) This is actually an easy one as only your condition, actions and reactions with the world are involved. ;) And this one is going to be resolved very soon, regardless. :) Not to worry though. You only have another quarter century of these things ahead of you now. :D
There are two good points to all this. First, you will become proportionally better adapt as the situations become more complex and by the time they leave to deal with these things in their own life, you will have learned you don't have any more absolute answers with guaranties than you have now, but you'll be more comfortable dealing with them and that they DO work out and become the milestones that our lives are built on. :)

The other point is that I hope you were able to divert your thoughts for just a few seconds, reading this. ;)



:console:

Awww, I missed this post this AM cause I was watching the Macy's Parade.

((((((((((Lou))))))))))))))))

Hope you did'nt have to wait to long for Fussy to get home. Hope your getting some sleep. Hope everything comes out with the tests.

/me huggles Lou

Let us know...

News?

Well, apparently my liver function test was a bit dodgy. Everything else was fine yesterday BP and sample were normal, and baby is absolutely fine.

I'm going back to the hospital in the morning to get results of the blood tests they did yesterday and if my liver function is worse, they may well keep me in and induce me, or they may decide to monitor it on a daily basis, which will mean lots of trips to and from the hospital until baby makes his appearance.

So weirdly enough, I'm hoping that tomorrow's results are either poor enough for them to induce me, or good enough that they don't have to monitor me daily.

They also did an internal exam and attempted to 'stretch and sweep' my cervix. All I can say is 'OUCH' and, she didn't even buy me a drink first!
