Poor baby :(

Posted on January 23, 2008 by Krista

Posted on November 19, 2007 by Krista

37 weeks, 1 day. So. Small Monster is fully-cooked. Let us rejoice! (Yayyyyy…) This, of course, means nothing. Just as finding out today at my OB’s appointment that I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced means nothing, because women … Continue reading →
