Where's that Harriet of ours?

Jeez, how long does it take to get a friggin' baby out of there?  It's all slippery and juicy, you'd think she'd slide right out.  I'm starting to get concerned that she's going to be as stubborn as Mommy.

Speaking of Mommy, she's asleep right now.  She's in early labor with reasonably consistent contractions that stop her from talking, but not from doing (she helped make the spicy green bean dish tonight).  I'm running all over the place trying to get everything on the list(s) done.  Plus, I've still got some work things to take care of which I found difficult to do while hovering over Mommy (mostly unwanted it turns out) for the past week or so.

Oh, right, it turns out that the labor tub vendor is not delivering because they are north of Seattle and the weather is still a bit crap up there.  Maybe we won't need it until tomorrow and they'll be able to deliver.  Mommy's not too worried about the tub getting here, so I'll be cool about it too (oh yeah, I'm going to crap talk that service to others...maybe).

Next time I'm going to write about what big suckers we are for baby wank despite our pre-pregnancy rants against just such crap.  Oh, yeah, I'm now that boring parent to be that can't stop talking about awesome baby things that I just can't wait to happen.  If old me met new me I'd kick my ass.

  1. Alright, I know that babies take a long time to get out of there, and that labor can sometimes last up to 48 hours or more, but COME ON!! Let's get this party started!

    Now - Mommy and Daddy might be enjoying the greatness of Harriet right now holding her in their arms and being all gushy, or maybe Mommy is cursing the daylights out of Daddy while she's pushing, but for the love of god, POST AN UPDATE so the rest of us don't go INSANE!!

    Ok, temper tantrum over. You'll have to deal with enough of those already. So I'll just say, GO MOMMY GO!!
