January 25, 2005 - She's here!

Michelle's baby has arrived! She's scrumptious cute! I WANT ONE!!! If anyone has been hearing a loud ticking noise since yesterday morning around 4:30, that's not tenitus, that's my biological clock.
Her husband called me around 2:15 or so yesterday morning, and I headed straight to the hospital, expecting that I would be holding a leg soon for her delivery. Unfortunately, there were some minor complications and she ended up having to have a C section. The baby is fine, though, and so is Michelle - if a bit exhausted and sore. I suppose not having seen the actual delivery could be for the best - this way I won't be tempted, after watching something so traumatic, to consider changing my mind about having one of my own. I was hoping, actually, to be pregnant by now. As of this morning when I took a pregnancy test, I am not. *sigh*
If it doesn't happen this coming month or possibly the next, I may head back to school in the Fall as previously planned, and then try again next summer. We shall see. If I don't manage to conceive this time around, I will have all sorts of time with Michelle's little poop machine to tide me over. I am going to nanny her when I am not in school. It'll help keep my baby jones under control.
