Okay, so I have just gotten out the shower, changed my clothes, and brushed my teeth (again), and I am feeling much calmer. (what is it about hygiene that makes me feel better? I would die on Survivor within minutes...not b/c of the whole living in the jungle thing, but b/c I would not have access to shampoo or a toothbrush.)

Yes, I recognize I am probably irrationally taking out my frustration about this pregnancy on my ob/gyn. I'm trying to figure out why I'm so mad, and I think it's b/c I just wish both docs would get on the same page. Who knows - maybe George is right and I will go to term. Or maybe Dick will be right and I'll have a baby this weekend. I just wish both would stop telling me conflicting info since it is making me crazy.

And yes, I'm being nicer to Dick to because quite frankly, I like him better. He fits better with my personal philosophy. I'm a worst-case-scenario type of gal, and like to err on the side of caution. I think Dick does this as well. There is a casualness that George presents with that just rubs me the wrong way. As Brian said we walked out of the appointment, "We could experience an earthquake during your delivery and George would look around and say, 'I don't see what the big deal is.'" He's a calm guy, but not in a reassuring way.

I can't help but feel this whole situation relates to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. (yes, we just finished the last of season 2 of Mad Men. This show really sticks with you, huh?). I mean, on one hand, I feel panicked that this might be it. But then again, I don't know, so do I just go on living my life (and staying in "Manhattan") when the rest of the US is evacuating? I like to be prepared. I don't like to be surprised. At least our "bomb shelter" (aka the nursery) is done.

Maybe I need to stop thinking so much about the personalities of my doctors and just focus on being a good incubator. After all, that's the only thing that matters. That and well, breathing.

hang in there! They never can predict for sure, but the baby will come when he is ready, and these anxious weeks will be a thing of the past. I know it is like waiting for Christmas, but not knowing the date of Christmas. Too bad they don't have one of those countdown calendars with cupcakes in the slots for you! :)

In the mean time enjoy your free time. My child is calling from her crib as I type. Gotta run! :)Love ya!

Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.

Iam 37years and I reside in Europe, I had Lived with Fibroids for many years and it got to be so painful that my doctor suggested I undego Hysterectomy.. I was Afraid of surgery & didn’t wish to follow through it. My husband encouraged me to look into alternatives to surgery so I started searching for One. My Fibroids had been come very painful I was unsure of what to do. I came across Eka Herbal Medication to shrink out Fibroid and other Infertility problems and I decided to give it a chance, My Fibroids was 6-7cm in size and After ordered for eka Herbal Medication,(dreka14demons@gmail.com) & They actually send it to me through my Posting address and I mix the Agbara Herbal powder with Orange Lime Juice and drink for just 2weeks, They started shrinking the Fibroids, Now they are 90% gone, Iam so very grateful to priest Eka and His Agbara Herbal Medication for given me my life back..I never thought this Herbal medication will make me feel like normal woman again, Words are not enough to describes How grateful iam..peace and blessings to you priest eka & Your Kingdom..Take a second decision to use eka Herbal Medication..

    About Me

    Think of this as the epilogue to Bridget Jones' story. Well, mostly. Bridget marries the handsome lawyer, starts a blog while on bedrest, and decides marathon running sounds like fun. Bridget goes through a divorce but keeps running. Hilarity ensues.
