Slow train coming.

Day 5 of labour, and I ran out of adrenalin some time ago. Labour still progresses sloooooowly. Waters not broken, mucus plug appears to be entirely clear, contractions now strong enough to grab Arkady's attention. Freda still kicking happily in time to music and so forth, so apparently not in distress. TRALALALALA. I shall attempt to sleep tonight.

Good grief.

Ah, best wishes for all of you for today. It's going to be today, isn't it? Surely she's not so stubborn as not to come out by now?

(On the other hand, look who her father is.)

She is as stubborn as her mother and as late for everything as her father.

FREDA! MAY 8 IS A VERY GOOD BIRTHDAY. REALLY VERY GOOD. I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

I'm surprised you haven't gone into labour as well by now.

I never wanted to know about a "mucus plug", ever.

Five days? Jebus. Get a move on lad!

Lass. Baby is a little girl.

She's just taking after her father - late for everything.

May the 8th! May the 8th!

May 12th wouldn't be too bad, either - one of my best friends has his birthday then, and he's nicknamed "graveyard" for a reason ;)

The 12th is my dad's birthday, funnily enough. But given her "due" date is the 13th....

Gah. I really don't want to be stuck in labour until next Saturday. If she's not here by Thursday then to hell with it - I'll be reaching for the castor oil!

Getting a bit late to be a May 8th baby. May 9th would be kind of nice, for very personal reasons that probably wouldn't make sense to anyone other than me.

Have you tried turning her off and turning her on again? :)
