Yes, I am the first-born, WHY DO YOU ASK?

Little Sis is about to pop. She said she's been having Braxton-Hicks contractions for about a week, and she's dilated a centimeter, and she's still like "La la, life goes on. Perhaps I shall have some scrambled eggs." I'm sure part of her easygoing attitude is because she's done this before, but she was pretty calm with Little Man too.

If I, god forbid, ever got so far as giving birth, I'm sure I'd act like I was the only person who had done it in the history of ever. I'd call an ambulance at the first hint of a twinge, and come into the hospital like "HOLY CRAP ON A STICK, I AM IN LABOR!" And the nurse would try to be nice, like, "All right, ma'am, we just need you to fill out these forms." And I'd be like "I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND. A BABY IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. BRING ME DRUGS AND AN ARMY OF SUPPORT STAFF IMMEDIATELY IF NOT SOONER."

Little Sis is at the stage where she's walking around a lot and telling the baby "You can come on now, really." It's cute.

I cut down but never really gave those up during my pregnancies, and nothing bad happened.

Yeah, Little Sis's doctor said a little bit of caffeine is not as bad for a baby as a mom trying to go cold turkey. But I'm not so good at moderation. :D
