Forever Sunshine · Guru

FNW, PA? May I ask the general vacinity? I life in eastern PA.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Praying all goes well for momma and baby, FWM!

It's a beautiful day for a birthday. :)

It is also a beautiful warm day here in the heartland. Temp in the upper 80's this afternoon.

Our gardens look wonderful. Everything is up and doing great. Will have beans, zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes coming out of our ears in a few weeks. I can't believe it is June! By mid July we will be swimming in fresh veggies.

I really did cut down on flower pots this year. There are only 13 out there.

Usually I have about 20 to 25. Plus three long beds. Trimmed those way back as well.

DH is fishing this morning. I'm enjoying a very lazy morning. Needed a very lazy morning.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Will watch for news of new baby, FWM. :)

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Yay! A new baby! Whooohooooo!

I was in labor for 23 hours with Conor. First babies can take a while.

(I fact that has totally escaped Wayne. He wanted to push dinner time up to 3pm. I asked him, "Why? There's only a 50-50 chance that she'll be born today? She might wait until the wee hours of the morning!"

No way do I want to hang out in the waiting room of a hospital.

I'm happy to wait, in the comfort of my own home. biggrin

Not to mention...we are taking care of the granddoggies. wink Mere is up with Ares and Duchess, as we speak.

We are!!! Waiting is the hardest part! wink

I couldn't sit home, either.

Meanwhile, it's raining pretty good here, some thunder.

It's actually really nice.

Forever Sunshine · Guru

Nothing yet? OMG! I hope Jessi isn't having too bad a labor!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

How exciting!

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Happy baby day!

Have to say, I would be at the hospital too even if I had to wait 100 hours and had no place to sit. I wouldn't miss it for the world and couldn't stand to be at home. Different strokes tho. When I was in labor I had half a dozen people in the waiting room.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

It's slow going.

Jessi had the epidural around 3 pm., and they started the potocin.

It's after 6, and she's only at 4 centimeters.

Cate might wait, until after midnight, the way things are going.

No, I don't feel guilty, for waiting at home. We live 10 minutes away from the hospital.

We have our pets, and their pets, to look after.

We can't do anything for them, if we are there.

We can help them more, by sticking close to home, for now. smile

(And really? I forbid our parents to hang out in the waiting room, when I was in labor. We asked them to stay home, until the baby was born. Why should more folks be uncomfortable, and miserable? I didn't want that, for my parents, or Wayne's parents. confuse They listened. It was all good. smile )

Forever Sunshine · Guru

4 centimeters? Yep, this could be awhile. Awwww I can totally understand your being at home since you're only 10 minutes from them. Watching the furbabies is important.

Keep us posted. (I know you will)

NAOW · Vette's SS

I think you are right and it will probably be awhile, but, I did go from 3 cm to 10 in like 20 minutes, lol, so be prepared.

Thanks, FS!

There is no point pacing around in a waiting room.

Ares and Duchess need attention.

And, Conor doesn't need to be distracted, by folks in the waiting room. His place is with Jessi, and Baby Cate.

I wouldn't dream of intruding. That's just me.

Divine Geek · Guru

When my sister went into labor, my dad drove straight from Boston to Indianapolis. I got to the hospital at about 3pm on Friday afternoon, my nephew was born at 11 am Saturday. My sister and I lived 10 minutes apart and the hospital was between us. I left to let the dogs out and get snacks, but that was it.

Although my sisters pregnancy had special circumstances. I had to be there. I had to know she was ok.

Like WOW! Good for you, DG!

Do you honestly want to shame me....for not being at the hospital?

SERIOUSLY?

I DID NOT WANT, ANYONE BUT WAYNE WITH ME, WHEN I GAVE BIRTH.

I sure as hell, didn't want Wayne to have to run out on me, and give updates, to the people in the waiting room.

He didn't have to. Our parents respected our wishes, and Wayne didn't have to deal with that stress.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE HOME!

Get it, people?

Or do you want to shame me, some more? confuse

NAOW · Vette's SS

I personally didn't want anyone waiting on me either FWM. It stressed me out thinking that I was taking too long, lol.

Forever Sunshine · Guru

(((FWM)))

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Oh good grief, no one is shaming you.

Saying what we did or would do is not shaming you or anyone else.

Geez.

Divine Geek · Guru

My intent wasn't to shame. I was just sharing my experience.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I didn't ask anyone to be there or not to be there.

It was their choice.

I can only hope I'm able to be there if and when I have grand babies.

As for giving updates, the nurse would do that for us.

I'm not buying it...for a minute.

That was me too, NAOW.

I asked our parents to hold tight, until the baby was born.

I didn't want Wayne to leave me, to give updates, when I was having a baby.

Well, that's your weight to carry if you choose.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Why would DG of all people be malicious? Out of the two of us it would be me for sure, she's the nice one!

I never said DG was being malicious.

Just, thoughtless, in shaming me, because I'm not spending hours upon hours, at the hospital. (After she did, with her sister.)

You are reading waaaayyyyy more into it than is intended.

I agree, no shaming going on just sharing experiences. When such a great event is about to happen people like to share their own experiences.

Am I?

Maybe, Lily.

If I am, I'm sorry.

But given some of the other comments, I don't think so.

I'm sorry I started this thread.

I thought it was going to be a happy one.

And now, given some of the replies, I'm just sad. cry

I guess I will just keep praying for a happy delivery.

Thank you, for your continued prayers for Jessi and Cate. smile

Everyone just breathe, a great event is in the works and no one is judging anyone. Can't wait for the happy announcement.

Great. Now you're sulking.

And it WAS a happy thread until you got offended by others sharing their happy moments of childbirth.

Honeys_Mom · Mod & Permanent Board Sweetheart

I am going to keep checking in to see when the happy even occurs!!

For you, FWM:

OK like IKWTDS said, EVERYONE TAKE A BREATH! Tensions and worry are high right now. A miracle is about to happen. A new life is going to enter the world. Let's all concentrate on that.
