So, as I write this, he has not arrived yet... but as of 2:41 a.m. (on February 2nd) I am officially in labor. This part could take a good 12 hours, so don't get your panties in a twist. Contractions are 8 minutes apart and the "bloody show" has made it's appearance. TMI? Oh well. That my friends marks the beginning of true labor, not that fake braxton hicks shit.
So, besides putting the word out "there" (blogging), my big *to do* list today includes:
- eating something good (once I get to the hospital I go on clear liquids only)
- taking a good poop (to avoid doing the same on the table...ugh!)
- taking a nice shower, including shaving of the legs
- waiting it out at home as long as possible, which may include watching a DVD or 2 (I've heard stories where this stage can take FOREVER!!!!)
- saying "Adios!" to my old life, because my new life has just begun!

How exciting!!!! Sounds like you're going up the slow climb on a great big rollercoaster...enjoy the ride (as best you can)! The game was exciting, but maybe he's more of a baseball dude like his dad. :) Woo Hoo!!! All the best...
Love ya,

Hey- just realized it's Groundhog Day today! Hope your little groundhog will make an appearance since he's been ignoring that eviction notice for several days now!
