Wait, is that not what this holiday is about? Oh, that's right. We only get to celebrate that like on Mother's Day--no day off from work or anything for that one. As you can see, I prefer to labor lying down, preferably asleep with copious amounts of drugs. Unfortunately the hospital where I delivered Leah didn't offer epidurals--not fun. I'm a fan of epidurals.
I tried to get out of making supper for tonight by claiming its labor day; the best hubby could do was tell me to order a pizza. Actually I'm making bbq ribs, corn on the cob, watermelon, and garlic bread. No labor involved in that meal, eh?
I know I will eat my words, but I am ready for some cooler, fall-ish weather (not cold, mind you--just cool). Its been close to 90 the whole weekend which is just fine, but I'm ready to bust out all those fall clothes I bought the girls. Bring on fall, football, apples, falling leaves, crisp autumn air, and all the other good things September and October bring (like a new niece/nephew as well!)

What do you MEAN the hospital didn't offer epidurals? HUHHH? That is wrong. In a nutshell. Just wrong.
HA!!! I don't have any pics of me in labor with either kid... thank goodness, it wasn't a pretty sight.
ditto to Cristin; I kinda wonder what I looked like exactly but am 100% confident it wasn't pretty. DH must have agreed because he never turned the camera on me when he was doing his pre-baby camera checks, hmmm interesting!
Forgot to add, though, you look ravishing in labor! HOW did you manage that?!!
Ooo - you do look good for 9 months pregnant. I had such fast labors I didn't have any time for before photos. ;) It is probably for the good.

I know we've been lucky in the fact this summer has actually been more mild than average. I don't know how you survived when you were pg with Leah. All I did today was lay on the couch, eat and pee, I was so hot.
I'm ready for fall. And to have this kid!
