I’m collecting my thoughts and impressions on the Palin pick, for anyone who cares. There’s a lot of information to filter through, a bunch of loonies spouting nonsense and a surprising number of enlightened progressive types worried that Gov. Palin isn’t at home with her children, presumably barefoot and baking cookies. It’s entertaining, at least to me.

But while I’m thinking my thinks, I share with you this Labor Day meme from Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer.

How long were your labors?

Little Miss: 8 hours of contractions, 9 hours from the time my water broke
The Sprite: 7 hours
Bulldozer: scheduled c-section, but I went in a week early because of contractions
Satchmo: scheduled c-section, but I went in a day early because my extremities and lips went numb and tingly

How did you know you were in labor?

Little Miss: my waters broke
The Sprite: contractions, the usual. Actually after two false alarms, we almost waited too long too call my sister to watch Little Miss. It was exciting.
Bulldozer: contracting contractually. We used my sisters car to drive to the hospital because she needed the minivan to ferry the girls. I had to fit my large, laboring body into a Camaro.
Satchmo: I was having those ambiguous contractions that made me wonder, “I this kid is just messing with me?” And then my lips went numb and my face and hands and legs started to tingle.

Where did you deliver?

At very nice hospital in the very nice suburbs of Northern Virginia. I felt very yuppy.

Drugs?

Little Miss: a shot of narcotic toward the end
The Sprite: nothing
Bulldozer & Satchmo: being c-sections, I got all the good drugs

C-section?

The boys were both c-section. My cute, tiny 4lb 15oz Little Miss did a great deal of, um, damage. Perhaps I wasn’t breathing correctly. After the precocious Sprite added to my pain, my doctors suggested I give my body a break, cause she can’t take any more. Thus, the c-sections.

Who delivered?

1,2, & 4 all had the same doctor at delivery, although I went to a group practice. She wasn’t scheduled to deliver Satchmo, but since he decided to come early (1 am, what’s with that?), he got her, too.
