Almost baby time....but not for me

My good friend who wanted so badly to have a natural birth is headed down
the slippery slope of interventions. She's had some cervical ripening
drugs, they've started her on pitocin and they've just broken her water.
Her body was obviously not ready to have the baby and the baby was not in
any significant distress. She has slightly elevated blood pressure and is
past her due date.

I was really hoping to conceive within three months of starting to try.
This is our third try, but I kind of hope we don't hit the jackpot this
time. I went to Vegas to celebrate a friend's birthday and there was one
night of fairly heavy drinking. Also, I got a tattoo. Also I really want
to go Scuba diving in January. This is why I wanted to start trying in
April. Sigh. Anyway, I won't know if we've been successful this try for a
few more days. So far no symptoms at all. But of course, it's still a bit
early for implantation.
