Dee dee lee dee dee!
There they are all hurting in a row,
Big ones, small ones, ones as big as my head,
Some of them are big enough to wake me up in bed!

The blogtunes(tm) in yesterday's comments are killing me! Impossible Mom even sang me some of her original score on the phone this morning. That's love for you, people. That's love.

I just got back from a trip to the Old People's Mall with my friend, Lushgrrl. I bought nursing bras, underwear, track pants and a t-shirt. All the exciting stuff that makes The Maven what she is.

The woman at Sears felt bad for me and gave me a candy. I guess she figured it couldn't hurt, since I'm already bigger than most of the people who are big enough to ride on those motorized carts (I'm slightly jealous of them lately in a highly irrational way). I wore my orange shirt and walked around as The Great Pumpkin for the last time *sniff*.

Not surprisingly, the stretch and sweep caused a bunch of holy hell contractions which mostly died off by 11pm last night. They started up again today but I feel no closer to labour than I was before. So, tomorrow at 8:30am I will be getting assaulted by a crochet hook and hopefully greeting the spawn of Maven shortlt thereafter.

I'll have to come up with a clever name for him while I'm recovering. Intrepid, Gutsy and... ?

While we're at it, any bets on weight?

Intrepid: Born at 39 weeks and 1 day, weighing in at 10lbs 6oz.
Gutsy: Born at 38 weeks and 2 days, weighing in at 10lbs 4oz.
InUtero Boy: Should be born at 40 weeks and 3 days, weighing in at ???

Wish us happy labour vibes! I'm so excited *hops (hobbles) off*
