Sometimes it feels like he knows how to dole out just enough encouragement to keep me hanging in. The rareness of the hugs does make me appreciate them fiercely, though.

Now all of a sudden she's giving them again. It's amazing what little things can make me so happy though.

I don't know if you ever read my account of the birth story at my old site at Mama Duck, but I'd been planning to work till my due date, my midwife kept telling me I probably would be after my date. The Monday night before the due date, my husband and I crashed into bed, both exhausted from too-long days in which we'd both been out in the 90 degree heat, and my water broke at midnight. We've not rested since. I tell every expectant mom to get off her feet and rest in the two weeks before she's due. Kelly, amen to the torture timing.

It probably has, in a lot of ways, but you're so wiped out it's hard to see it. Doesn't the fact that babies are born with an innate sense of torture timing say a lot about the human race? ;) I don’t think you were stupid to think it would get easier.
