Wow Seamus! Once again, you post some interesting tidbit I've never read before! You're the best!

Good morning everyone!

I was at the hospital with my best friend this morning, but she has been released. She'll probably be back later today though because she's 4.5 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced already. She was really nasty with the nurses since she hadn't eaten since 7PM last night and they refused to give her anything to eat. Finally, her doctor called and spoke with her and said she could go just as long as she returned when the contractions began with regualarity again.

So, I'm at work waiting for the next phone call. I can't wait!!

Oh Lord!

That is good! - In the commentary PJ said that Gandalf hitting hit head on the beam was also not planned, but that Ian just played through and they kept it!

Guys... if at all possible, you MUST see the 16 minutes of footage Maq posted. There is wonderful new scenes in there that I think everyone will adore. This film is going to be so wonderful.

My wife was like that for 4 days before the Drs finally recommended a C-section.

She wanted desperately to give birth naturally, but given that she hadn't been able to keep any food down nor sleep for several days, there was no way she'd have the strength to go through a delivery.

There's always next time, I told her. Pregnancies are awesome...I can't wait until we get to go through it all again!

I don't think I'm on Maq's ping list.

I've only seen the trailers that have been on TV... I don't mind that much spoilage. ;) And we do plan to watch the WB special that we taped last night.

I'm really just being cantankerous for humorous effect.

Did it work? :)

Oh, your poor wife! She must have been so relieved to finally hold that baby in her arms and know she could finally eat in peace. (Notice I didn't mention sleep - I know better than that!)

My last one was induced. My contractions would start and get closer and closer together and then abruptly stop. This happened 4 times (3 of them I was at the hospital already).

Finally, my doctor had mercy on me and the baby and gave me a Pitocin drip and an epidural - 90 minutes later, there was Alyson! :)

My first one was tougher actually. My water broke just before midnight and I had Rebecca at 12:12PM the next day. I had refused pain relief, but the doctor insisted a take some Demerol to help me rest between pains until the pushing time arrived. It was a long and tiring back labor, but as you know, the end result is worth it!

I'm pretty sure I'm done though. Babies are very expensive and until I am in a $$ position to stay home with them, I won't have another.

Well, I know that. ;)

You see, that's another reason why I avoid spoilers... I'm crazy enough as it is. ;)

Ok, here's a question for y'all. It was asked by an office roomie and I drew a blank. Where in the books is Gollum/Smeagol's story revealed- as in the Semagol/Deagol fishing trip and the finding of the ring?

(Not really...just kidding!)

If my memory serves me correct (and it doesn't always!) I think that was during the Council of Elrond in FOTR... Gandalf tells the story.

I'm going nuts with the same problem 2J! No pic, just sound.

I updated my Media Player, but sitll nothing. Rebooted, still nothing! ARRRGGHHH!!

I've tried both speeds and they both do the same thing.

I believe it's in the 2nd chapter of Fellowship of the Ring...when Gandalf is telling Frodo about the ring, there's the Smeagol/Deagol segue.
