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.

OOOOoooooerrrr... Tuesday - 6:50am

Um...either I just had the most glorious involuntary pee or um....

My water just broke.


OH GOD SO THIS IS WHAT CONTRACTIONS FEEL LIKE....

Seriously though. GROSSEST feeling ever....I am SATURATED and it just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming in WAVES and I feel like someone kicked me in the lower back. Excellent. Now it really IS go time...

Called Bonnie (who woke Simon's sleeping ass up) (sorry Bonnie) and Simon is on his way over, as is the glorious Ayeshamidwife.

And there's another gush. Mmmm. I feel so pretty....

7:00am - Oh god, it just keeps coming... ...seriously...why did they bother having me put on more underwear and why does this stuff smell so bad? ...and why am I in a dress? (bitches, this is what happens when you drug the pregnant lady) ...and oh god, why does my back hurt so bad now?

...also, I'm hungry and shaking.
