Still here

[mollyringle]

Since people keep asking, no, I'm not in labor yet; and yes, the due date is tomorrow. It's a first baby, darn it. They're often late. Calm down out there! Yes, I know all the inducement tricks. No, I do not want castor oil or anything else.

But hey, if I'm still not in labor tomorrow night, the consolation prize is that I get to watch "Lost." Granted, it looks to be a baby-drama episode, so I'll put up the mental shields first. Then again, they have TV's in hospital rooms these days, so I might be able to watch it even if I am in labor. Huh. Modern technology, eh?

In the meantime, this is a really, really good chocolate cookie recipe. You can simplify it a little and it's still good. (Like, you don't need parchment paper; nor do you have to keep the eggs and sugar warm.)

I was a first (and only) baby, and I was two weeks early :P Surprised my parents by popping out three days after their birthday (yes, my parents have the same birthday). My whole family (being my parents and I) are all Aries. Their birthday on March 25th (though my mom is two years older than my dad), and mine on March 28th. I was due on April 14th.

Well you just have to be different, don't you? :P Darn fiscally-right environmentalist Canadian. XD

(BTW, I never got 'round to posting again there, but thanks for the great info on Canadian government! I am enlightened :D)

It does happen... and my family doesn't run very late historically. I wouldn't mind a few days respite here, though...now that I have a cold. Ugh.

I hope you get better soon! A few days to get over the cold before the kid arrives would be good.

how cool! My parents have the same birthday, too ^_^ (And I was a preemie.)
