RN: Spit, I remember that horrible pelvic pain. It came from laying down a lot, then trying to walk around. I walked like a decrepid old lady to the bathroom. Fortunately, it did mean she was really low and because she was so low, my labor went faster.

RN...here's hoping!!! Sam was very quick to for a first, and even being forced out. LOL! I had no pains till about 1 hour after they broke my water and from the first pain till he was out I would say about 2-3 hours. I have been thinking all day that if my water actually broke I would right away have the need to push.

RN: That's how it was with me. They had checked me right after my water broke and I was at about a 3. About thirty minutes later I asked to be checked again because "I feel so much pressure" and the nurse said, "I'll check you in 30 minutes" I said, "Alright, but the pressure is really bad." so she checked me and I was at 5cm. Then she went to call the anestesiologist, and by the time he got there, which was all of about 20 minutes I was at seven, and by the time he did my epidural I was at 9, and so they rushed to call the doctor who got there within minutes I was at ten, and he pretty much walked in, gloved up, I gave it two good pushes, and poof, baby. The epidural never had time to even kick in. But after I was out of labor and delivery, my legs started to go numb. LOL.

RN, i wish i had easy labors!! RN, i remember having pain where i literally couldn't take a step during the last month or so of pregnancy. once i was crossing a very crowded street in boston and i got that paralyzing pain and i just had to freeze in the middle of the street for about 30 seconds or so til it eased up...cars whizzing around me and people honking and the green light i had now very, very red!

RN: Tabby I had pain in my pelvis like that too with DD2, not so much at all with DD1. It was like being crippled. DD1 labor, I thought was easy, of course, that epidural really makes a difference. Of course, I didn't get that with DD2 and I was really looking forward to it. I was like "Whoo hoo, I get an epidural, drunken relaxation here I Come. " And it didn't take until I didn't need it. And statol didn't work either. It made me feel like a cartoon. Very vivid images in my mind, but all the pain I could handle. LOL.....good thing labor didn't last too long.

RN dh and i are taking a last trip down south. we have to pack the last items into the motorhome and suburban (computer, tv, etc.), change the wax gasket in the master bath, mop all the hardwood floors. the carpet cleaners come tomorrow afternoon. we will come back up here late tomorrow or early saturday. once that is out of the way, i can figure out how to help my son. we are thinking to bring him home for two months and not have him move into a new apartment until august or early september. his gf can stay with her sister or go home to her mother or whatever. they need a separation to see where their heads are and where their hearts are... we only have a 2-bedroom home up here, but we do have the motorhome for my son to sleep in. i don't want him to feel he doesn't have a place with us, even though space is limited. do you ever quit worrying about your kids?!

Right now, I'm really excited that my DD (middle child) who just graduated from college on the 20th of the month got called and offered a job with an excellent company!!!! She actually interviewed for 3 jobs at the company and wanted to wait to hear about the others so the manager did calling for her to the other departments and told her the situations in those so she accepted this job!! I'm so excited and proud!!!! It hasn't even been 2 wks and she already has a super job, excellent benefits, etc!!!! I'm so happy for her!! Yay Steph!!

RN, I have a question which I'm sure someone here can answer. Travis and I visited the Johnson Space Center in Houston on Sunday. It would not be an exaggeration to say that 25% (maybe more) of the visitors were Indian (as in the country India). Does anyone know why this is?

RN, just arrived back at the south house. our agent called us to tell us we aren't actually closing til the 9th or the 12th. we were supposed to close 6-6-6, which kinda bothered me! i guess the people who are buying from us got held up by their buyers who changed lenders YESTERDAY!!! jeez... we talked to ds while driving down here. offered him our place for the summer and he'd get an apartment in san diego in september. then he can tell his gf to stay with her sister or go back to texas. we would save almost 1,500 bucks by not paying any summer rent for 2 months. he liked one in and out manager a lot, and that manager has moved to a store closer to where ds wants to move...so he'll ask him about a job in september and then hopefully come up to us for the summer. we don't even care if he doesn't get a summer job. he just needs some R&R and family time. we'll put his stuff in storage in san diego. i hope he goes for it. he really needs to break it off with this girl... we have some stuff in the garage to pack up, this computer and some other office items, the tv and vcr and dvd...we should have it all loaded tomorrow morning. i'll do the hardwood floors in the late morning, the carpet people come after noon, we'll sleep in the motorhome in our driveway one more night and be out of here for good saturday morning. or maybe late tomorrow night. probably saturday, because i think i will need some beer while i'm cleaning! lol then we have company up there coming saturday afternoon, complete with all our unloaded crap sitting all over the house in large boxes. oh well, we warned them! you should know better than to visit someone in the throes of moving!! i am so wiped physically from all the moving and emotionally with my son. i don't think i even have room for doing the 'survivor' goodbye to this house, room by room (as opposed to eliminated tribe members)! dd was 19 months when we moved here and son was just shy of 4. they don't remember any other home. it's a beautiful house in a not so beautiful town (good ol' boy politics, etc), so i'll miss my house and a handful of people, but that's it. and all the people i love will come to visit us up north. mainly i am sitting in front of the computer because it's the only place left to sit in the entire house, other than floor
