I miss my mom and other deep postpartum thoughts
1. My mom was here for about a week and a half before I had the baby until about 10 days after. While she was here, I had company during the day and a super clean house. Not to mention that towels did not go more than two days without being cleaned. So I miss the company, the help, and my mom in general.
2. Sex and the City is a stupid stupid show. If you thought you liked it when it was first on, go back and watch the dvds. You will wonder why you ever liked the show. The jokey dialogue is not funny, it is lame, sometimes even vomit inducing. (See Carrie/Aiden conversation, Season three, disk two re: "I'm your booth bitch" at the furniture show). The characters are decidedly unlikeable and make the stupidest decisions imaginable. Perhaps I am in a bad mood, but that show is stupid.
3. Kim Bauer on "24" is the most annoying character ever. Talk about stupid decisions. I wish that she was eaten by the mountain lion in season two. But she wasn't. Sigh....
4. Yes, I watch alot of tv on dvd. This has replaced my aforementioned Judge Joe Brown habit.
5. Baby socks are hilarious. See photo above.
6. People want to touch my baby. Random people in doctor's waiting rooms, on the street, everywhere. I don't want them to. Sometimes this is awkward and I have to "do the robot."
7. If your eyesight is really bad, like mine, and you go to change the baby without your glasses on - beware. I did this one night in a sleepy diaper change situation. I had to lean in to see what I was doing. My hair was down. The baby decided to poop and given my close proximity to the diaper region, the poop wound up on my hair. So I have learned to ALWAYS put my glasses on when changing the baby.

October 8, 2006
Here she is Jillian Abigail Walworth...arrived October 8, 2006 at 4:39am. She weighed in at 9lbs 3oz and was 21 inches long. She is a very porportional baby.
After a few hours of contractions that felt like "active labor" we called the hospital to come in. There was no room at the inn and they wanted us to go to a facility in Redwood City (a drive on the highway away). Luckily we got past a mean nurse to talk to a doctor and convinced her to let us come to the SF hospital. About an hour an a half after getting there and with 20 minutes of pushing, I had the baby. While we got there in time to have the baby, we were not in time for any pain meds. Oh well, better then having the baby on the way to Redwood City.

No Baby
So, still no baby. I was due on October 3. Now I am just big and uncomfortable, spend my time waddling through my neighborhood and watching riveting tv like "Judge Joe Brown." I may be super pregnant and going through some stuff, but at least I am not suing my neighbor in the trailer park for $234 because she threw a trash can through my window.
I do, however, feel like this baby is giving me the finger. But I don't think I will sue her for that.
