thread jack -

durham - you are the PGBS poster child - you are doing a terrific job for yourself and others!

Ladies - please believe that not all guys are scum. Most guys revel in their wife's pregnancy and are consummed by it.

Most guys envy your capabilty to bear a child, but find their satisfaction in fathering.

Most guys aren't betrayers and most betrayers can be healed.

We adore your glow.

Durham - What are your plans after the baby is born? Is your H going to be part of the baby's life? I don't think I can withhold the baby stuff from my H. I want my baby to have a father, and WH will be a great father. I don't want to punish the baby. As the product of a one parent family (through death not divorce), I personally know how important it is to have two parents.

MC has recommended that FWH and I go away, alone, for 3-4 days to reconnect. So we're going to use my uncle's cabin (free lodging) 5 hours away from home on an Island in Lake Superior. We have a babysitter and we're set.

We're leaving Thursday. I will be 37 weeks pregnant Friday and am 3-4 inches dialated. With my first pregnancy I was 10 days early and I was 3 inches dialated for weeks. We know where the nearest hospital is, and we can get someone to ferry us off the island if I go into labor in the middle of the night. With my first I had prelabor contractions all day long before my water broke. After that I was in labor 7 hours.

Am I being stupid? I really want to go on this trip and work on just being together, and connecting as a couple rather than as connecting as parents.

How can life be so tramatic, exciting, and tender?
