~I Am Bringing You All With Me When I Go Into Labor~

Your all getting front row seats when I am in labor. Good thing you will not be able to see me-that would be weird! I am going to bring my daughter's tablet with me when I go into labor. (She doesn't know it yet though). I don't think she will mind for her momma if I borrow it. =) I am definitely going to need something to keep my mind busy through the pain. Mylot will do the trick I'm pretty sure. So if my grammar isn't the best for some reason you should know why. At that point I really will not care much about perfection. Does MyLot take your mind off things you don't want to think about?

I sure hope all goes well with the labor, can't wait to see what you have to say when you are getting ready for the birth. Much good luck with that.

@fishtiger58 Thank you. I am feeling super nervous today for some reason. Could be a sign that he's coming soon!

@LovingMyBabies It could be, when I was almost in labor I felt great, was up early and everything, maybe my son was getting me ready for the big arrival.

Now I am laughing. It is so what I might have done had tablets been invented, or even phones. I would probably have talked on Watsapp had it been dreamed of. Though the reality is that somehow labour takes you in another direction. I do hope and pray this is an easy labour and all is well. What fun to have a new baby on Mylot

What an honour! I want you to think of sitting on a wooden dock, beside your husband, with your feet dangling in the water. I do that when I need to focus and get thru something. Otherwise I know that I'll be here for you. And hopefully you will be able to update us as soon as the baby arrives and assure us that you are both doing fine. Is everything all right, or will you be going in tonight? There is a full moon you know!

@Juliaacv I hope that thought gets me through! Yes I will definitely update everyone here once he is born. I am okay so far-no sign of labor yet. I know its coming soon (within the week) but right now I feel good.

I always run to my writing whenever I want to forget things. And now myLot will be the venue for that.

Oh wow ok so now I see who Julian will be :) Honestly labor is so brutally painful that I do not think I could mylot at all during it. I just lay there silently with my eyes shut the whole time until it is over. I hope you have a nice easy quick labor. I hope that mylotting during your labor makes it easier as you are thinking it will.

Make sure before you post anything you breathe in loads of the gas, that should make for a funny discussion

Lately my mind has been racing about many things. And this site has been kind of saving me from going crazy! (Haha!) So it definitely helps to write, and interact with others. It does for me! Basically.

Doing creative things like writing or composing help take my mind off other things, for good or ill. If I get a great idea during a teachers' meeting I get very distracted, which is not good!

Yes, it does. There were some times when I was really down, and just want to get rid of the troublesome thoughts, I hid myself in mylot, and kept reading others' discussions. It made me feel better. I brought some novels with me while going into the labor, but I didn't get to read them. All the best to you and your baby!

Don't take this the wrong way - but please give me a seat in the back further...I don't think I could handle one in the front row. You will be fine, we'll all be worrying about you.

When are you due? I hope you can post, but like others have stated, labor is intense. It would be so cool if you could do quick updates.

There may not be much time when you go into labor except at the beginning

@LovingMyBabies When I was born my dad took mom to the hospital and they took her up (these were the days when fathers weren't allow in the delivery room) and by the time he finsihed the paperwork and came up I was already born.
