1.5

Went to the Doctor… are those lyrics to a Beatle’s song- maybe Rolling Stones? Anyway, went to the Doctor yesterday. Nat is officially dilated. 1.5 cm to be precise- or at least as precise as the Dr. appeared to be, which still I’m a bit dubious about. I mean, I didn’t see him stick a ruler up there or anything to measure, so how he knows for sure is a bit beyond me. Also a bit beyond me is the fact that while the Dr. was…uh- you know, in there- he said he was touching the baby’s head. How crazy is that?! Well, it’s really crazy if you think about it. And that’s what I’ve been doing- thinking about it, so I know how crazy it is.
Well just wanted to post the fact that Natalie was beginning to dilate and that the little one is on its way. Interestingly enough, to “dilate on,” means to write or speak at length about something, which as you know is something we sometimes do on this here blog. It’s what I’m doing now, or maybe not. I’ve run out of things to say. Except I figured out what lyrics I was thinking of. I’ll leave you with them, the profound musings of The Indigo Girls- “…I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains…”
