Notes from Bedrest: Epilogue -- Alexander
Notes from Bedrest: Labor
Don't get all crazy, I'm not in labor ... yet. But I'm having contractions and PAIN and all that good stuff. Went to see Dr. S. and he took out the stitch. That was so much fun. But it's over. I'm stitch-less. Just shy of 37 weeks.

Incompetence: Hour 36
