TMI Thursday: Friday Morning Edition

Lost my mucus plug yesterday. Word.

(If you know about those, then you know how TMI that is. If you don't know, then google it.)

(Hubs came up with a pretty decent descrption of it, though... "It looks like you blew your nose after you had a bloody nose.")

(I'll pause for regurgitationspice.)

Still no baby, though.

I'm six measley days from my due date on December 16th, and I'm starting to feel like a beached whale. No, not just a beached whale: an impatient beached whale.

I'm 1 cm dialated/ 50% effaced as of my last appointment.

What is she waiting on?! Christmas?!

The word mucus makes me want to blow chunks.
Good luck getting that baby out. I hope that it is painless, effortless and tidy.
Can't wait to "meet" her and hear all about the gody details!
....and I hope for your sake that she does NOT wait until Christmas. GAHD!....

My advice? walk walk walk walk walk walk walk. Walk that little nugget right out of you. Worked for both of mine (and on their due dates too). Good luck!

There is no way to write the gagging noise that goes through my head when seeing the words 'mucus plug'.

And I will not Google it. You can't make me.

{{shudder}}

Am I being immature? Probably. But given that I'll be a grandfather in four months means I'll learn about these things whether I want to or not. I choose not.

But hey, other than the {gaaaag} mucous plug thing, congratulations!

Perhaps she wants to be born on the most fantastic and wonderful day of the year: December 22nd.

not sure what a mucus plug is, but it sure sounds exciting, haha.

She'll be here before you know it! Enjoy your last few nights of sleep! : )

One word: epidural.

When the spousal unit had child unit number one, she was, before the application of the procedure noted above, a raging...well, what's the word...HOUND FROM HELL.

After, all sweetness and light.

She's waiting on my birthday! I learned sooooo much more about the pregnancy experience than I ever wanted to know when my sis-in-law was preggers. The babe will come when she wants to come. Just try to sleep now!

Bet you you had her! This post was 5 days ago! Mucus plugs mean a few days!! UPDATE US!!!

(And i hope you had that epidural because Travs was exactly right about the difference in temperament)

love at first sight blogfest, or, go eat a heart-shaped cookie

Courtney Reese is hosting a love at first sight blogfest, in which writer's write about the icky love stuff. Check it out -- there are already a ton of entries over there. Okay, so my scene isn't really love at first sight for my mc, Laurel (in fact, she doesn't even want it to be) but this is the first time she interacts with her second love interest, David.  Read! Enjoy! Critique!      A sea of southerners filled the lobby of the movie theater. David Winter stood at a neon orange podium in the center of the throng, his head throbbing. He tore off one ticket stub after another, pointed the masses in the appropriate direction. The work was monotonous. Most of the patrons were lost in conversations with one another, and they paid David the same lack of attention that he showed them. He tried not to grimace at the giggling teenage girls, the smug looking guys in gold chains, the overweight middle aged couples: all annoyed him equa...

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
