Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

How are you doing? What are you doing up so early?

Trust my rage

I'm doing okay. I started having contractions around 3 am. So far, they are very short. I'm still in denial, but I am finally packing my bags.

Awww...I hope they're the braxton hicks or whatever they are called. I know how badly you want Joe to be here.

But, on the other hand, maybe BABY!

yeah - I don't think Joe will make it. I'm not saying I'm going to have the baby today, but I don't think I'll make it another week. I may feel more disappointed later - right now I'm just curious to see what happens.

That's a great attitude to have.

BABY! :)

What is even happening?

Stephanie, are the contractions fairly regular? How far apart are they?

Also? MEEEEEEEP. I'm glad your mom is with you.

No answer. Hmmmm. Could be packing. Could be eating. Could be napping. Could be pushing.

Sorry, Cindy. I was out with my mom walking the dogs. It feels better to walk at the moment than sit. Let's see - the contractions are about 3-4 minutes apart, but are only lasting around 30 seconds or so. They've been regular at about this rate since about 6 am. I"m pretty sure they aren't BH - I've been having those for a few weeks, on and off. These are different - they definitely hurt.

Since I have no experience with this, all I can offer is much ~ma.

I am at work...the short-term weekend gig. It is very, very quiet in here. I'm thinking I'm going to get a lot of crocheting done.

Stephanie, you seem very calm. Shouldn't you be boiling water or something?

Easy labor~ma to you. It's a shame that it looks like Joe won't be there, but I understand that babies have their own schedules.
