After lots of false labor in the heat of summer, Kelly at Thrifty Mommy has just given birth to her second child, a son.
I would like to ask 20 000 of you to head over to her site so she can buy a frugally-priced baby present for the little child inofficially from me
By the way, I left a comment on Kelly’s blog that I would like to repeat here for anyone who needs to see it:
The tough thing about labor is that Mom really is in the driver’s seat. She just doesn’t have a brake or an accelerator. 

 
For all those pregnant women who are 37 weeks along or later, here is what you need to know. I am sorry it is so dirty.

If you are heavily pregnant with your first child, you are still unitiated into the world of birth and what it will do to your body. There are some aspects of the experience for which you cannot prepare. So, do not try to get ready too far in advance. If you are between 37 and 42 weeks (first babies are often very overdue), you may read this post. Everyone else, can just move along.
