That was before….

20051025-021.jpg

This is DURING. Actually - this is BEFORE as well. So far, I’m here but nothing has happened. They have me strapped into the monitors, but no cervical treatment (TMI?) yet. I’m very anxious and nervous and excited, and FAT. JEEEZUS. Did you see how FAT I am in that picture? And my hospital gown is broken. But - I have a feeling I wont care about that later.

I’ll try to update again later…after the cervical softening is done. Woo! Hoo!

    You are too cute.. And not fat–PREGNANT. But not for long!!!

    Don’t second deliveries go faster? Good fast, painless and healthy wishes your way!

    Zoot!

    Preggo does NOT equal fat….Preggo = wonderful cuteness.

    Thinking of ya and wishing you well.

    you look great =) can’t wait to see her. how lame is it that I keep checking back? I’m so excited for you though. With my daughter I had to go through exactly what you are going through. Cervical treatment and pitocin. The contractions weren’ t as bad as everyone said. Sending good thoughts your way.

    Don’t worry, the internets has got your back and will cheer you on all night (cause I’m hoping that’s as long as it will take!)

    Zoot!!! I was reading your other post earlier… I had it all done. Picotin, softner… the works. You’ll do fine. When they offer the epidural - take it. It helped induce the labor and speed things along, take the edge of things and get that cat nap i was in much need! YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!!

  10. Tracy Says:

    I bet you’re the first mommy to ever blog from that hospital! :) Take care, and don’t hit Mr. Zoot with that laptop later when you’re in the middle of labor ;)

  14. Diana Says:

    Zoot - you are honestly the first person I have ever seen look comfortable in the delivery room before. Look at you with your bed all propped up! ;) You look beautiful now and in a couple of months when you look back at that picture you’ll get all misty eyed thinking about how FUN It was to be pregnant. No really. Swear.

  15. Diana Says:

    oh, and ps, I see that little bed where your daughter is going to be just hours from now. Is that cool or what!

  16. BerryChick Says:

    Girl you rock the delivery room!
    Soo excited for the Zoot Family and can’t wait to see pics!! Good luck sleeping tonight!

  17. Amy Says:

    This is sooooooo exciting! Good luck and good labor and all that jazz. I know you were thinking about going natural so I hope things don’t get tooooo painful :)

  18. Steph Says:

    Awww, you look beautiful! And that is coming from someone who has never went through pregnancy, so I am not all just saying that.

    I started reading this blog in the very beginning of your pregnancy and rarely commented, but read every day. I am excited for you and I don’t even really know you!

    Good luck with everything! You will be a great mom times two tomorrow at this time!

  19. countrymom Says:

    Hi. I’m just soooo excited for you!!! Before you know it, you will be holding your sweet girl! I had pitocin with my third, and my feelings were ‘bring on the epidural’; I saw no point to wait til it really hurt when I knew I was going to get one anyway! Have fun.. can’t wait to see pics.
