I've been away for a long, long time--so I guess this is more like starting the blog over than anything. I've unpublished all my old posts going back to 2004 because of the ridiculus amount of spam comments. Once I take care of all 28000 or so of them, I might republish all the old stuff.

At this morning's doctor's appointment, I heard I'll be induced when I reach 39 weeks--which will be the tuesday after next. I couldn't be happier. I know there are a lot of people out there who want some kind of natural childbirth. But really, whats more natural than an IV of pitocin to get labor going? In all serious though, this pregnancy has been long and hard enough and I am more than ready to get it over with. Not that I won't miss the lovely cankles I've developed over the past few weeks due to water retention. I've gained about 25 pounds so far and I swear my feet have gobbled up at least 6 of those pounds.

So, unless I go into labor before next tuesday, little miss s will make her grand entrance then.

I'm off work now, though I have a few things to go in and finish up next week. I'm spending my days watching world cup (I dont even like the sport but there really just isn't much else on during the day), the news and trying to finish up a few knitting projects that I have going.
