wow, snow storms really do make babies!

Or at least they make your water break! Mine broke at 1 this morning, with 6-8 inches of snow down and not a plow in sight. I was having a few contractions per hour over night, but nothing very strong, so at least we didn't have to worry about driving in that! This morning, they stopped completely. They got going again after a while and they seem to be a bit stronger now, but still not much to shout about. I keep telling the Razz that at this point, it's much better if he comes out on his own soon, because he'll probably be born today whether he wants to or not. I mean, they're not going to let me go that long with my water broke. I'm pushing off the moment when we actually tell the doctor that my water broke to increase my chances of getting started on my own, but there's only so long you can let it go. I mean, "yo, doc, yeah, umm, my water broke 4 days ago" is not really a great way to start a conversation. And I don't really want my doctor mad. I mean, she *is* the one with the needles and IV bags afterall.

Julianne and Susan,
I just checked Carle's baby picture site and he IS a handsome fellow. Congratulations to both of you. Hope you are all doing well.
