Hmmmm
Contractions + baby still transverse breech + my doctor out of town + tropical storm due any minute + fire trucks at the hospital for a suspicious smoke smell = my guess is this baby is being born tonight via emergency c-section.
I mean, I truly sincerely desperately hope not, but you have to admit that through all of the crazy ass shit in this pregnancy, this would be the predictible way for it all to come together.
um.....niet!! but it would be par for this freakin' course, no? hey...do you need anything up there? just holler if you do.
much love,
jote

Let's hope not! How far along are you now? Try waiting until pigs fly, or a snow storm. Those would be better. ;-) Seriously, thinking of you and hoping the contractions go away soon.

Is it a full moon, too?
Tell the little dude to stay put. We're all anxious to meet him, but not quite yet.

Perhaps your mantra should be "stay put, stay put, stay put"
We're all pulling for you lady. I suspect that whatever happens you and we wee-ist one will be ok. Yes, we'd like him to stay in the oven just a bit longer, but maybe HE is ready to meet his family! Maybe he feels like he's in an unfriendly environment. Every time he settles, it tries to get him to leave...(Remember, he's not a good judge of anything yet.)
Tons of prayers and good wishes headed your way.

I've been reading your blog for several months. I was impressed by you before the developments of late, and I am even more so now. We all hope we'll be as strong as you are when our kids need it.
I wanted to let you know that every "hit" on your site from me (and there have been many) is a hopeful thought for you and the bun in your oven. Hang in there. And don't let the fire trucks bring on labor.

That little one better stay put! Tell him fire trucks are not THAT interesting...he's got time enough later to see 'em. Hang in there mama!

Thinking of you and hoping you ride out all of these storms safe and sound and still cooking!

Nope, we got no storm last night. So stay baby stay.

Neither rain nor out of town docs nor fire trucks shall keep this baby from his appointed place - safe in that womb!! After all, he has D's letter carrier genes in him!!

Today is Miles' birthday and he doesn't want to share it, so your baby will have to wait awhile longer, cool?
STAY PUT, BABY!!

Still praying hourly for your little man to bake longer. Hang in there Mama, this will soon seem like a distant memory..... um... nightmare.
