Sometimes you waddle around them as they wait in the wings for weeks, sometimes they drop just before curtain call. Actors on a stage indeed..

PR, I take that as high praise indeed coming from someone who's grown up around people who do that sort of thing for a living. Thank you.

Don't think I haven't considered trying my hand at it over the last couple of years. Thus far I've stuck to fanfic. Silly me, I like the consistent paycheck thing, I know the competition is fierce, and I've never worked with and (*edit, case in point*) editorial crew unless you count collaborative efforts in student run theatre in college. (Skits for shows mostly with the comedy troupe.)

Fear of failure, or fear of success? Hmmm...

I still think MsA would be fun to kill someone on paper with though...

(Kill someone with on paper might be more grammatically correct, but it reads to me like we're plotting to bump someone off on a recyclable drop sheet.)

Or medical drapes. OOOOHHHHH! Put the bloody stuff in a red bag and ditch it in with the rest of the medical waste and it gets carted off to the incinerator! Hey! The body parts too, maybe in specimen containers and looking like amputations! Yay! But how do you get the evidence discovered, since nobody goes poking around in those bags once they've been doubled and closed unless they've got a damned good reason..?

Someone stop me.

I'm also remembering the "worst fanfic ever" thread from a couple of years back. Wow, did that get stinky and incoherent! Mission accomplished.

I have been up for less than half an hour, had to field a phone call from my paterfamilas when I'd been up for less than four minutes, decided I wasn't going to have time to fix the crotch of boychild's jedi costume before he had to leave for the dojo so told Doctroid to pin it, discovered several minutes later that the rest of the costume needed ironing as it had turned to origami after hubby put linen blends in the dryer last night, ran out of steam in the iron as they were heading for the door, and I have had exactly three sips of coffee. I am about to finish my cuppa in peace and quiet, then start frantically cleaning and cooking for tonight's soiree which includes making the cake. I'd ask Doctroid to do it, but they won't be back from the dojo in time for it to cool and be frosted. (He decided on Victorian Black Forest cake. We have no cherry preserves or kirsch, so I'll be subbing blueberry and creme de cassis. Suck it up and deal.)

HUGS Rosie I would love to kill someone . or several someones with you.
Ah the joy of being the costumer ...so many mini dramas ( still vaguely ticked over the hours I spent on a fabulous elizabethan costume only to have to do an emergency cut down the middle and add a panel when the actress gained 14 pounds in 2 weeks because she went home to her parents and they plied her with a variety of yummy foods)

LOL Gorram if I could walk more than a few steps I just might try that

HUGS Rose well he's dropped so that's good, now we just need my body to catch up and go into labor. Had loads of contractions last night but they weren't regular enough so hoping today's the day:)

MsA- It's a date! Once you've started getting enough sleep and stuff, that is. Delusions r/t sleep deprivation can be entertaining, but you're going to need every ounce of energy you can muster for the next few months. PM me when you're feeling perky.

BEST ADVICE EVER: When the baby sleeps, YOU sleep. Catnaps or putting your feet up and closing your eyes at the very least for the first few weeks.

Srsly.

"Start relaxation breathing last week so you don't have to think about it while you're pushing" might be another good suggestion.

If you find that laughing makes peanut move along a little, start watching whatever makes you laugh hardest. I think that the sound of laughter could be a very nice introduction to the world, don't you?

*edit* listening to "Vienna" by Billy Joel, live version. I just nearly blew out my vocal folds by turning the iPod up until I could (almost) not hear myself any more (it did not go any higher) and singing along to "Downeaster Alexa". RELEASE!!!
Now I need whiskey. Ow.

I would suggest walking, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea with your other issues...

You haven't posted in, like, 12 hours on a weekend so I'm hoping there's a happy reason for that. "Can't type now, gotta push!"

Sorry was lying down trying to get the swelling down in my feet 'cause I lost feeling in my toes....
No baby. Apparently I can conceive and carry, but not actually go into labor. Yeah I've been walking for an hour each day. Last night I even tried being the one who handed out candy so I got up and down and walked over and over... not a thing. ( well except for major inflamation of hips) Still haven't gotten feeling back in my arm... I'm gonna see if the doc will see me Monday:)
How was your Halloween Rosie??? HUGS

I didn't see Scrubs, but I'm sure it's a fairly common analogy.

Didja try sex yet? Sometimes that works a little...
Yay for prostaglandins!


It would take your mind off things for a while anyhoo!

You could always as the doc for a little misoprostol and see what he says. Probably "no". (It's a med used to start the cervix ripening, usually in conjunction with pitocin when they're inducing)

Or maybe you'll be a couple of centimeters dilated and he'll quietly strip your membranes for you! But if he does that you'll have to induce if you don't go into labor within a certain amount of time due to the risk of infection.

Midwives are sometimes a little sneakier than doctors, but I don't know the tricks of the trade yet. Ask me in three or for years with your next one!

Tell you what: try a virtual birth here in the bar or comfy location of your choice and see how it goes. Maybe peanut just can't find the operator's manual.

Tap the Groaning Ale and let the festivities begin!! (Old tradition where a woman brewed beer when she became pregnant so she could drink it while she was in labor.)

Oh poor MsA! I know that when nephew arrived because they found out so late about the pregnancy that there was no time for the I just want it out stage but niece was more planned and it kicked in stages. The only tricks I'm aware of SR has already mentioned, erm... I'm sure baby will be here soon, you can't actually be pregnant forever, can she...?

Erm

*brews lemon and ginger tea for all*

I like the idea of Groaning Ael SR, amused me greatly for some reason, a fine tradition that we should restart! Maybe... not sure of health repercussions of women in labour being merry and I'm not sure that is a statement that has been made before!

Yes.
It's much better to run away than to have an open and honest discourse on the subject.
That way, no one has to learn or grow or understand one another.

Unfortunately some people are like that, they just walk away no matter who they hurt or leave behind in the process. Hopefully Kel isn't like that though.

Sometimes it's better for everyone if you do, even if it's just for a while.

I'm not going to try to guess why he left or if he's coming back. He knows where to find us if he changes his mind. That will just have to be good enough.

Now, next round's on me!

MsA, sorry you couldn't do a trial of labor.. I assume there's reasons they decided to go straight to cesarean and I won't pry any further.

Guy Fawkes Day it is. (The office manager has that birthday too.)

Squee! Peanut's almost here!

Get up out of bed as soon afterwards as you are able to force yourself, and start moving around. It actually helps you heal. Plus they won't let you go home until you've passed gas at the least if not actually voided both bladder and bowel, and moving around helps wake things back up so to speak. The nurses aren't actually sadistic bitches. Well, OK, maybe they are but it's in your best interest. It will not be easy to do, but get a movin'! Just up to the toidy and back, sitting in a chair, then a stroll to the door, then up the hall and back. Baby steps.
