Yes - that's the way to go. I'm jealous. The baby was fine - normal weight and everything. Thankfully the woman lived a healthy lifestyle. Mom called her 3yo daughter in to help bring the phone, scissors, etc. And she thought it was a bad case of food poisoning.

This happened to a friend of mine. She gained no weight. Felt generally not well for a few weeks, but has an irrational fear of doctors, so convinced herself she just had a persistent stomach bug.

One day she fainted walking out of class and awoke 24 hours later in the hospital with an incision in her lower abdomen from the emergency C-section and a baby girl. She had been about 32 weeks pregnant, with an ectopic pregnacy. According to her father, her first words when she woke up and the nurse kept babbling how the baby was going to be okay and not to worry was "What the fuck are you talking about?"

The father had been a short, crappy relationship and was nowhere to be found. She had to drop out of here doctoral program and move in with her parents for a year. Luckily, she was able to get her shit back together pretty quickly, all things considered, and finished her degree only about a year late.

Freaky, but (and I'm no MD here, but) it can't have been an ectopic pregnancy - an embyo cannot survive if it ends up implanted in a tube. The tube would have burst much earlier on causing some nasty problems. I almost lost a good friend to the blood loss caused by an ectopic blowout. I suppose it could travel outside a tube somehow and still be in the wrong place, but where the hell would the placenta attach anyway?

Sounds more like an ideal pregnancy ending with some other type of abnormal early labor or something.

No, it's just the hip new ironic lingo for "lesbians." Coming soon to a coast near you.

Thanks for the updates. If you need me I'll be in the corner drinking my mojito. I'll be the blonde in the pashmina.

Yeah -- the one I met throught the I Saw You in the City Paper. You want to meet us at Jaleo? We're both dying for tapas.

Really sorry for so many double posts. It has been happening when I get a fail to connect message on IE, which the IT folks recently "updated." I am really not submitting posts twice. (Well, except for that time I hit "quote" instead of "edit.")

I wish I could, but I have an appointment to get my navel pierced. I just got this really cute baby tee at Burberry and I want to show it off since I got my tummy toned from doing pilates at Golds.

Hey, I would like to meet up with you guys. I have an Est meeting until 7:00, but am free after that. I'll be the guy with the Members Only jacket. I will probably be snacking on some Pop Rocks. (I am totally addicted to those things, but don't drink them with Coke!)

You are such an asshat.

Were you the guy I rode down in the elevator at lunchtime today, who was, in fact, wearing a Members' Only jacket?

Good lord. I think elevator guy already bought it.

Wait, his had the classic black label, not the flesh-tone on that one.

Given his age, I'm not sure he was wearing it in style even when it was new.

Me too. I agree with most of what you said, although I doubt Moss was actually driving into traffic. The fx are amazing. Keanu is Keanu. Still confused. But now he really kicks ass.

I thought Fishbourne's voice sounded weird when he gave the speech in Zion. I was hoping there would be more kick ass Neo types that he may have brought in, but the movie is basically all Neo.

The plot was thin in parts and a lot gets explained at the end. But I thought they did a good job. There were in big danger of having expectations cripple their ability to deliver, but there was no let down. I was impressed.

Helpful Hint: The trailer for the next one isn't worth sitting through the credits for.

There's a show that VH1 runs periodically called "I love the 80's." It's 10 shows, 1 hour each that runs through the "trends" and "celebrities" of each year. I was surprises at how many celebs admitted to owning multiple Members Only jackets and how they all remembered how cool they felt when they wore it. Also funny is how many people thought that Teddy Ruxpin was satan incarnate.
