I have a positively freakish picture of her lying on her back on the couch while having a contraction.
Uh, Rhadam, take it from a friend who is also female:
Do not put that photo on the web, here or anywhere. :shock: Your jewels would be in great peril.

Hope all continues to be well with the girls--all three of them!

Wow...been there, done that. My wife (who claims to be 5'2" but isn't a speck over 5'0") was nothing but legs-belly-head when she was pregnant with our twins. Ours were a few weeks early, which is pretty par for the course. One of the twins was somehow wedged between her pelvis and ribcage and almost needed the Jaws of Life to get her out -- that doc was reefing my wife around on the table to pull her out. :shock:

And no. Don't ever post that photo on the web. Ever. Not if you value your ability to walk and/or not talk in a falsetto.

Oh, she already gives me death threats on a daily basis... I might as well make it worth my dime. :)

She has also said to me... Certain equipment is purely optional after this is all done with...

My wife is looking well at the moment. And I'm keeping her away from sharp objects.

Wife = still pregnant. The critters just get it that its time to get out. But the longer they stay in the better.

Rode my bike last Friday. Took the long way home, but ended up sitting in stop-n-go traffic most of the way home. :( Anyway...

505 miles on the odometer

Ride well, ride safe.

Oh, also installed my laminar windscreen. I had it on once, but was unhappy with the adhesion of the velcro. Had to wait for temps over 70 degrees to try it again.

That last commute, I took the regular route to work - Henry Hudson Bridge with my new EZ pass tag.

...

It still didn't work. I'm thinking of taking it off of my EZ pass stand and mounting it to my windscreen.

I've also been thinking of taking a different track in to the toll. I don't know.

Its really pissing me off.

Twins have been born - April 22nd 2009.

@ 20:08 PM - Cordelia Jax 4 lbs 5 ounces
@ 20:09 PM - Morrigan Constance 4 lbs 11 ounces

All is not 100% as they are premies and Cordelia has another medical issue that required surgery.

And boy is my wife glad to have them out of her.

The babies will be in NICU for the next week or two. Momma is coming home tomorrow according to Drs.

Congratulations! I hope everything that didn't go well works out well for you. Something tells me the B-King won't be getting many miles anytime soon... :laughing:
Again congratulations!
