For all those who call my cell phone in eager anticipation that little Audrey may be making her grand entrance at that moment in time: keep waiting.

Scalini’s didn’t work for me this time, although right as my 48 hour buffer time ended, I began to have some quite considerable contractions on Sunday night- to the point where I was in so much pain we called the parents to warn them it may be an interesting night. To our dismay, the contractions never got close enough together to call the OB and in an attempt to get some rest, they diminished back to the regular old cramping by yesterday morning. (more…)

So tonight Robert and I made a trip to Scalini’s Italian Restaurant in Smyrna so I could partake in their infamous Eggplant Parmigiana, which has been known (nationally, even) to induce labor in hundreds of pregnant women who are past the 9 month mark within 48 hours. I’ve been cramping for the last two days and having some crazy Braxton Hicks contractions, so I figured, what do I have to lose? (more…)

Yes, I/we’re alive. Yes, my tail is tucked sheepishly between my legs for being such a poor blogger. “But…! But…! I have such good excuses!” No, we’ll have none of that — we shall press on, and give the masses what I know they want: pictures! Yaaaaaaay!

Pictures from my San Diego trip >> Pictures from our July 2nd “Fourth of July” Stone Mountain outing >> Pictures of Audrey’s room, near-completion >>

If you’re disappointed that I don’t have more pictures to post from the past 2 1/2 months …you’re not alone :) Suffice it to say that

• buying and “settling into” a new house,
• traveling to the other side of the country for nearly a month, and
• working on two startups

tends to restrict one’s ability to photodocument life. And all this on top of doing what little I can to help take care of The One With Child! But fear not: I’m sure I will more than make up for it in the not-too-distant future, ad nauseum, with toomanytocount Audrey pics once she decides to egress her womb-without-a-view. Until then, enjoy what little fodder I’ve squeaked out, and keep your gas tanks filled ;)
