Well we have a baby it is just still in utero. I am sorry for the radio silence on our end. We both have been so preoccupied with the waiting and it is difficult to spend time on the computer with my mom in our small apartment. That is right – my mom is still here. When I woke up this morning to go to the bathroom at 4am I realized that my mom has almost been here for two weeks and I freaked out a bit. I know that it has been hard on H. too. Family is challenging even if they are wonderful and you love them. We are trying to proceed as normal around here but it is clear that nothing is normal. We saw star tre.k last night which was fun and we are going to a picnic/walk tonight in the park. This is a strange time in the baby waiting game. I certainly don’t wish to go back to TTcing time but I liked knowing the day I would have an answer. There have been some tears in the house and one of us (usually me) has be reminded that the baby will be born. It sometimes feels a bit mythical at this point. I really wish my mom had not rushed down here and we could have proceeded a bit more like we not on baby watch 2009.
I am working on catching up with everyone this morning and I promise we will send a quick update when we are actually in a more active labor. xoxo L.

Goodness…I am sorry you are still waiting. We know what that’s like and it is Not Fun. Like you two, we shed some tears and felt the immense frustration of not knowing WHEN. But yours will be here soon…it has to be. And I’m hoping it will be on May 27 (if not before) because that’s my birthday
Hang in there girls. xoxo

feeling like a boiled pot puts a lot of stress on everyone involved. i didn’t take it like a champ. but i will say that babe will come (pepita is living proof!) hang in there – distraction is good!
although mom is a bit much two weeks later in a small apartment, i’m sure you will have fond memories in the end of her being there to share it with you.
keep the faith! xo

Oh no. How frustrating! It must be so difficult to have to keep waiting, let alone with the mother there too. We saw Star Trek yetsterday too. It was pretty entertaining.
I am glad you posted, I was a little worried about you all.
Come on baby!!! Lets get this show on the road! Your mommies are so ready for you to be here.

I know what it is like, I really, really KNOW. I truly was convinced that I was NEVER going to have the baby and was going to just keep getting bigger and more uncomfortably pregnant, forever.
The baby will come.
Dear Little Babypants,
Don’t you think today would be a great day to be born? Your mommies are excited for you to come. Mommy L would like to be able to tie her own shoes! And both your mommies do not want to have to tell people anymore that you aren’t here yet. They would like to make the announcement that you have arrived!!
Love,
J.

I am so sorry you are still waiting. I hope it’s your turn really soon. Corssing my fingers for a fast labor and easy delivery.

I am sure the wait is so hard and trying. I hope the little one makes his or her big arrival soon!

oh babe, how frustrating! i’ve been wondering and wondering what was going on. of course the first thing i thought was “aha! she could have come to reunion!” well, maybe not the first… but i did miss you. hang in there, watch more movies, drink lots of water and tea… take care of each other!

Oh, I’m so frustrated for you, but this baby will come. You won’t be eternally pregnant. Still, it can’t be easy with family there and with so much expectation riding on your shoulders. I hope, for all of your sakes, that your little one decides to make his/her entrance very, very soon. xoxo

The waiting is so, so hard….but it will happen.

it must also be uncomfortable for your mother out law.
i think you should walk from your house to my house. that ought to do the trick. i was sure your little person had already arrived. but he or she will so soon and so soon this wait will be a blur. hugs to all of you.

I can’t believe you are (or were) still waiting! Like everyone else, I was sure your silence meant the little one was here. Hopefully she or he has made an appearance by now because I know the toll the waiting takes. (just for the record, I’m predicting a “she”
) Thinking of you three…

Babywatch 2009. Haha, I like that one. Well…it’s been two more days, so hopefully there is some action in Brooklyn by now. We were in the park on Monday and in your hood and we were thinking about you.
Hope you get some relief soon!!!
