You would think...

I would know what labor feels like.
Yesterday, I started contracting around 2:30 and it kept going for a LONG time.
So we called everyone and got things going.
And by the time my mother-in-law showed up, I pretty much stopped.
And they were gone by 1 in the morning.
UGH!
I hate this!
It seems like I need to have at least one false start before the real thing, so I guess this is it.
I'm hoping sometime this weekend he comes out.
But it's nice to have my mother-in-law here to sort of help couch me through all this.
She's only done this 6 times before and is the best at everything!

So yeah.
No baby.
No contractions (so far)
And trying not to be depressed about it all.

So we are going out to enjoy the sun and maybe go on a date tonight
(it's the last thing you need to do before baby comes)
IF
I'm not in labor.

Oh, darn misleading Braxton Hicks stuff! Boo.

But Mimi's approach can't be wrong- Murphy's Law says that as soon as you're gussied up and having a good time out on the town, you'll go into labor. ;)
