Well, I guess its safe to say you stayed in last night and bypassed

all rambunctious New Year's activities? I swear, we are going to

have to have a talk - this is supposed to be a breezy boring

pregnancy - not wrought with pain and scarry incidents. hrrrumph.

Let Beth add to this, but I am wondering if the fact that they 'faded

away' on their own is a sign that the pains weren't contx? This is

pure speculaton, but I can't help but think that since we are made in

such a convoluted fashion, there wouldn't there be greater

opportunity for benign, but horrifing pain? With the 2 uteri fused

as they are, I can see how it might present creative pains and

pressures that are otherwise absent with a normal uterus (or even

other MA's)? Just a theory.

Can I have the number for the on-call dingbat? Geez. Sorry, but if

you have called, then you need more than a placating pat on the

head! uggrrh. I am so glad that YOUR doc is a good one!

So you are carrying a gymnast? Tell her that she needs to let mommy

rest for a few days before causing havoc again. :-)

How does sleeping most of the day, a quiet dinner of chinese food and

going to the third of the Lord of the Rings trilogy sound?

Denfinitely not rambunctious :-)

It was the every 10 minute thing that freaked me out, but you could

be right.

No kidding, eh? I'm terrified she could end up on call when I go into

labor. I wish I had more control over the situation.

Thanks for working on the cape ... now all I need is a maternity

leotard :-)))

Many hugs, buddy!
