Thanks again, everyone! I had a minute to blog her birth story and since I'm finally on my computer, I'd love to share some pics!

Chupacabra, congratulations! And thanks for sharing your story and great photos. The big sister ones made me tear up thinking about how my own baby is going to be a big sister in just 20 more weeks. Lots of good wishes as your family adjusts and enjoys this special time.

This has been the worst month ever. I don't sleep for more than a couple hours any more. I'm so lucky and blessed that my two oldest kiddos were able to attend full time day care/day camp this summer because I don't know how I would have managed to be a competent parent otherwise.

I finally broke down and really spelled it out just exactly how miserable I was to my favourite midwife. She swept me and gave me EZbirth to take to try and get this kiddo out as soon as possible.

It would be really really nice to not have nausea and heartburn all the time.

LIAT...did I miss pics and birth story of your bebe???

So...you really do forget how much pregnancy sucks. Well, at least the first trimester when you don't feel preg b/c there aren't any of the good symptoms like feeling kicks and all, just loads of crap symptoms like being tired and cranky and hormonal and weepy and nauseous.

Add into that mix the terrible feeling of being the worst mum ever (horrible day), going back to work in the very near future, trying to plan a first bday party, trying to organize my job and figure out where my replacement has left me, finding out that I've got extra responsibilities at work that I was not planning on taking on, etc, etc. Aaarrggghhhh!

I took a nice bath to chill out a bit and wish I could have a brilliant glass of wine to go with it.
