It’s an easy thing to forget. Apparently.

I’m not going to delete this! Note to everybody: leave her cervix alone. She’s got it under control.

Hilarious! I had a similar conversation with my husband while I was pregnant with the fourth, only it was me reminding him that I looked pregnant because I was pregnant. Hehehe.

I can’t explain how it works, but I know what you are saying to be the truth. Apparently we lose the one most necessary hour? I don’t know, but I know I don’t like it.

But if you go to bed early, THEY WIN.

But don’t trust me on that. It may be the sleep deprivation talking.

I hope you used the phrase “government sponsored parental torture.” I like that one.

So it’s really a guilt-avoidance technique! I like this line of reasoning. Excellent spin, D.

Spring ahead ALWAYS kills me… been up late at night all week (once until 4:45am) and tired all day. It’s just an hour… what the heck?!

I could’ve written this post myself – as I type this, completely exhausted and yet not dragging my sure-to-be-awoken-before-sunrise body to bed.

*Yawn*

Well played, indeed. Jerks.

Aaaaaarggh! You can delete this, Melissa, but I had to write it somewhere. I was all pleased with my compromise to go with a midwife-ish OB, and now, at 40 weeks and 3 days she’s already talking induction. Every damned person who emails or calls to ask DAILY if the baby is here asks about induction. You know this, and I know this, but I have to type it so the world knows is: a baby can arrive healthy and happy ANYTIME within a month of its so-called due date. I am not overdue. Baby is not in danger. It’s a normal freaking process, people, and maybe it you’d shut up and leave me alone baby would feel safe to come out. Right now you all have it scared with your pathologizing and catastrophizing and constant barrage of questions. My cervix is none of your business!
Phew. Thanks, M. Now you may delete. I just needed to put this down on cyberpaper.
