A Small Warning

While Simon and I are doing this to keep our friends/family/acquaintences in the know and so that we can remember the experience - we know that a great many people forget the insane emotions that go through them at a time like this. They remember joy, nervousness and excitement but tend to forget things like annoyance, anger and exhaustion. This is also a little bit of an experiment for us as well as (hopefully) a bit of reality for someone else out there who wants a bit of a real play-by-play of the emotional rollercoaster of childbirth and parenting. ...granted, I know that my experience is only one...but hey...still worth trying.

That said, not all of this blog is going to be happy and shiny. There will be some real, raw emotions here and we're going to express them pretty openly. We hope that this doesn't make anyone feel as if we're in any way unhappy about the birth of our son or that we're somehow not excited or don't love him. For us, this is the reality of things that people don't really talk about or express. I think that is extremely important to remember.

We may use foul language. ...you're warned.

Monday - 1:25pm

Looks like it might happen today. I went in for my blood pressure check and my BP was 142/100 (normal for me is 105/65). A little amusing, actually, because I'm feeling extremely zen today. I'm headachey and exhausted but this afternoon I am a very placid Sandra.

They're asking my doctor what she wants to do with me but it's suspected that she'll want to induce me soonish (today at some point). Fine by me. Simon and I are just having a bite of lunch and enjoying our last afternoon of absolute freedom, silence and lack of parental responsibility. More updates to come!
