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!
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Trust my rage
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.

What is even happening?
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.

Thanks, vw. I appreciate all the ~ma heading my way. I hope you get lots of cricheting done while at work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Stephanie! Contractions! Good luck, honey, and if Joe misses the birth he will get LOTS of baby bonding time once he gets home, so that's a silver lining.
A job you can crochet at is a good job.
Thanks for the major appliance congrats, Bitches, I'm very pleased. I'm tempted to take Tuesday off, or come home early, so I can get the excitement of running that first load. And I'll look into that energy rebate thing, Robin, thanks! We got a floor model for the dryer, so we've already saved quite a bit.
We are observing our anniversary today, so I made us breakfast in bed including Bloody Marys. Consequently, I may be making a bit less sense than usual.
