This just in.  We have confirmed that Lauren is going to be pregnant for the rest of her life.  Details at 11.

The Details:

We just got back from our doctor's appointment this morning and as the doctor walked in he said "So, remember how you were worried about premature labor?  I don't think we have to worry about that anymore."  Funny guy, this doc.  Now he gets a personality.  Sheesh.

Anyway, other than another .5 centimeter dilation nothing is going on down yonder.  What is going on is I'm continuing to gain weight though the best nurse in the world tells me it's simply from swelling at this point.  She tells me this over the laughter than can be heard from the exam room as the Peanut Gallery, aka Marcus, sits in his comfy chair being skinny.

Speaking of Marcus I'd like to take a minute to address him (un)privately:  Stop.  I don't know when this baby will get here because it is out of my hands.  And comments about how you could have gone on travel to California are stupid because, despite the fact the baby hasn't been born, the fact is it could be born.  Believe me when I say that nobody, NOBODY, wants this baby here more than I do.

So, anyway.  That's that.  I'm 39 weeks pregnant and there are no signs of imminent labor.  At some point I'll have to accept my fate but until I do I plan on continuing to b*tch and moan.  Although, one good thing has come out of this and that is I finished both of my psychology courses in a record 6 weeks.  It might not have been my greatest work but at least I had time to finish before the baby arrives.
