The disadvantage to spending an entire pregnancy convinced that you're going 10 days past your due date is that when you start having contractions that are 3 minutes apart and you're only 4 days over, you find yourself deeply skeptical that they are going to result in an actual baby. We'll see, I guess.

Welcome
- Welcome to my blog, where I mostly natter on about my life with five kids. Occasionally (not very often, because teenagers keep a person humble) I dispense parenting advice. Occasionally I write about other things, like faith or food or my secret strategy for dealing with annoying kid behavior or whether I am fit to be a mother. Also: who is the mystery intruder? And: does stay-at-home mothering rot the brain? If you are worried about slow weight gain in a breastfed baby, this is my most-viewed post — hope it's helpful to you. Want to read more? I have some favorite posts linked here.
Ooo, I'll pray for you. One of my playgroup friends went into labor today too -- must be a good day for birthing.

Crud...unless she's already here, I lose...my guess was the 22nd. ;) Of course I'm thrilled for you and hope that she comes quickly and without any complications!
