it couldn’t have been more dramatic May 1, 2008
S’s water broke, at 12:30 am. We were watching tv and she was like oh no, and lept from the couch. i thought she saw a giant spider, but no. she stepped onto our slate living room floor and gushed all over the place. like seriously, a stream of water like in a movie, splatting onto the ground, and you’re like ‘that is so unrealistic’. we went to the hospital for a non stress test. all is good so we are going to try to sleep some tonight. S is having contractions about every ten minutes, but they are still erratic and not super painful.
i will have you know that today, is her due date.



wow! impressive timing! lots of luck xx
hooray! wishing you a peaceful, healthy, low-drama arrival of waffle recipe. good luck!

What a punctual little girl! Eagerly awaiting good news - sending quicky, productive labor thoughts your & S’s way!! How effing exciting!!!
So exciting!
woo hoo! Mazal Tov and smooth sailing vibes.
i dont know. its not what i expected but when i talked to you this morning after i hung up i thought, “no fucking way am i missing this.” all thoughts of becoming to attached seemed trivial in comparison with, “my friends are having a baby TODAY and i am invited and where the hell are my car keys!”
it certainly helps that RM has the next two days off and can cover everything involving the kids. that is a miracle in itself. RM is all, “duh. of course you are going. she’s your friend and she’s having a baby.”
standing by here for the ‘get in the car call” and i’l be running around packing up a bag of stuff for you guys. let’s see i’ll need cameras, chargers, cell phone, gifts, extra pads, breast pads, a few precious hand-me-down clothes…. how fun; YOU two are having a baby but i also get to run around and pack a bag for the hospital. oh yeah and breastpump, freezer packs… i better get busy. cant wait to see you. and S. and your daughter.
wow! here comes the waffle recipe! will be refreshing incessantly. may 1 is a good day to be born, methinks.
(I just started reading your blog yesterday.) Congratulations! I hope it’s an easy labor and delivery!
YAY! Can’t wait for a pic of little waffle recipe!
oooooh ~ this is so exciting!!!
now i have something to obsess over whilst also checking to see if exam #2 grades have been posted yet.
patience is sooo not my virtue today!
thinking of you all…
