Wow, it's my first real Mother's Day!  How exciting!

Technically, today wasn't a very exciting day.  In fact, it was a very ordinary day with one exception...I had a lot of free time for myself!  It's been so long since I've had a free moment to do whatever I want...

I woke up really early this morning because Ellie was hungry.  After I fed her and put her down IN HER OWN CRIB (Yay!) I sat down and worked on my computer while both Ellie and Jason slept.  Other than the occasional feed, I was pretty much undisturbed all morning and afternoon.  It felt really good to be able to do something other than hold Ellie or feed her or change her.

Even after Jason woke up at 1:30pm, Ellie stayed asleep and for quite a while too.  She was pretty good when she was awake and we were playing together.  Of course as soon as it began to get dark outside, she began her fussy hours but lucky me, Jason helped calm her down so I can enjoy my day a little longer.  

Ah, I like Mother's Day....

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's and grandma's and soon-to-be mom's!

Trying to decide if I should move my blog from xanga to wordpress. It's hard since I've been with Xanga for 6 years now and it's a relatively easy to use blogging platform.

 On the other hand, I have my own hosted site with wordpress that's just sitting there waiting for me to update. It was originally meant to be a hamster blog but given how little time I have these days, I'm thinking of combining the two.

 Hmm, xanga or wordpress...

 For now I'll just use posterous to post to both sites until I make up my mind.

The longer they keep us at the hospital, the more it feels like being in a fancy prison. I just want to go home...

Contractions are disappearing...Is that possible?
Tried sleeping a little but having a hard time...
I'm guessing I have to be close to 3cm now since the catheter is starting to fall out...
Feeling hungry but the hospital doesn't want me to eat till after the delivery...
Baby still moving a lot...
They're going to start me on the drip in a few hours. Let's hope that'll help and won't be too painful.
Today's going to be a very long day.

Contractions are 10min apart, 30sec long...And they are quite uncomfortable. Can't imagine what they will be like as I get closer to labor...

 Btw, we get free internet in my room. How cool is that.

First test post on posterous
