Until then, I will leave you with these thoughts:<br /><br />-This is very different than any "I'm going into labor" story that a woman would tell. Taking apart a toilet? Fantastic!<br /><br />-I totally agree that Star Trek was great! Just a well-done movie, and excellent addition to the Star Trek line.<br /><br />-My water broke IN the movie theater. I do not recommend that any woman close to her due date, past her due date, or IN LABOR go to the movies. Luckily, I made it to the toilet, but it was close, and that would have been really gross. I'm just saying.caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-54112853834541674112009-05-13T20:59:00.000-07:002009-05-13T20:59:00.000-07:00Good luck!

I got into really good beer before I got knocked up this time, and I'm already scheming about which beer I can sneak into the hospital without looking like a total boozer. Somehow champagne seems so much more dignified, but those Belgian beers were just so darn good! (Sorry, that might be sacrelige, to some!)<br /><br />Can't wait for your updates. Much aloha to you all!!BabyShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545657444617742172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-21624779093719474132009-05-12T16:42:00.000-07:002009-05-12T16:42:00.000-07:00(Im)Patiently waiting.(Im)Patiently waiting.Jenny Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943823729806115657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-47732812142542400662009-05-12T15:57:00.000-07:002009-05-12T15:57:00.000-07:00Hope that boy comes out soon.
