I had a dream the other night that I missed my labor. I dreamed that I was scheduled for a c-section so they anesthetized me and then decided I didn't need one after all. They brought me out of the anesthesia just in time to push once and out came Tali - all of about 13 pounds of her (hopefully the whole thing was nothing more than a *dream*!) That was a real bummer because what I do LOVE is labor and delivery! I love the feelings of those contractions rolling over my belly and feeling the baby drop more and more - knowing that there is a perfect symbiosis between baby, mommy and uterine muscles that only God could have designed. That, and the knowledge that within a few hours I will be able to retrieve the brain cells that seem to have taken up residence in the bottom of my uterus for the past nine months and replace them in the cranium where they belong...
So, in answer to the question I get a bazillion times a day - How Are You? I am tired, cranky, fat and useless to the entire rest of the universe except this little one nestling here in my HUGE womb. Thanks so much for asking...

I think you look beautiful.
You are so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this picture so we could all take a peek at a miracle in progress.
I truly believe that the last weeks of pregnancy are so miserable so the mother is ready to do anything to make it be over. There is a reason they call it labor. I can't think of any other you can have that brings more satisfaction then pushing your baby out into the world.
Keep us posted,
Hugs,
Sheila
