Breaking News, Not Water.
Internet, the next time you hear from me, I will have had a baby. Of course, said baby is getting there through totally artificial means, as that prosthetic cervix I ordered off the internet is apparently defective since I am now officially 39 weeks and uh, not dilated at all. I’m going into the hospital today at 3:30 to begin the ripening. (In related news, The Ripening would be a great name for a horror movie.) In the meantime, read this Rock of Love reunion recap. Also, however much you love Keri Russell (Felicity! Waitress!) do not, I repeat, DO NOT watch August Rush. I heard the warnings and I ignored them. I understand now. It is truly the worst movie I have ever seen. (I told my mother I saw the worst movie of all time yesterday, and she said, “Was Keanu Reeves in it?” Good point, mom.)
Anyway, hospital, baby, Bret Michaels, no August Rush. Got it?

Seriously. August Rush was one of the 2 films on my Iberia Airlines flight to Spain last week. The dialogue is aw-ful. Like, hella-bad. I took off the headphones almost immediately, but as I could not get comfortable enough to sleep, I kept watching the screen in front of me, so I made up my own story, eventually giving in to see the end of it. But I was trapped on a plane. You should not have that experience.
On the flight back, however, I watched The Savages and Michael Clayton, and I heartily recommend both.
Good luck Sally!

Woo hoo! Good luck with everything in the next 24 hours. Can’t wait for what I’m sure will be a hilarious report of labor and delivery.

Isn’t Robin Williams in August Rush? Wasn’t that enough of a red flag for you?
Yay, baby! Sorry about your defective cervix, but at least Spike will be getting evicted from his uterine home very soon. Sending lots of “quick, easy, pain-free” vibes your way.

Yea! Go have a baby!

Seriously, have the baby already. I need something to cuddle that doesn’t smell like dog and/or Bret Michaels.

HOORAY!! Wishing you a safe and quick labor! I had the defective cervix, too, but it turned out all right in the end! Water breaking is such much better when it’s not sprung on you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!

I wish I’d read this last weekend, because now it’s too late and I’ve already suffered through it. Grrr.
