baby dropped!

Last night, I woke up at some late time (I don’t keep a clock in the bedroom) in the midst of a contraction. I dozed off after it was over, but woke up again a few minutes later. This continued for about an hour and a half, by my estimate, then I slept normally.

I woke up near dawn to use the bathroom and discovered the following: no heartburn (yay!) no huffing and puffing from a little bum shoved into my diaphragm (yay!) a bladder approximately the size of a teaspoon (boo!) and a little noggin shoved firmly into my pelvis like a cantaloupe!

Progress is my middle name.

  1. YAY! You *know* you need to have someone call a Tribe member when Lil’ Miss or Lil’ Mister joins the Gleeson universe exterior of utero! I am soooo excited and can’t wait to hear/read your birth story when you are ready to share. Love to you all!

  2. Well, I am so out of it, I have been missing your blog. Now I will put you in my bloglines so I can keep up with your every growing family. And, y’know, your charm and sparkling wit and all that other great stuff. xxxoooxxxooo

  3. I have so many presents for you as soon as my lazy ass gets to the post office… this post made me realize that that needs to happen soon!
