The Wait'll kill you!
Well, nothing is happening here, and I'm trying not to focus on it. This baby will come when s/he is good and ready. I was going to ask all my friends questions like "when (what time of day) did you go into labor? how long was early labor?", etc., but I know that each woman and each baby is different. I should probably not expect to go into labor before Tuesday, as I had not gone into labor by 5 days past 40 weeks with Parker.
Jeff just jokingly said that the State of the Union is Wednesday, so I'll probably go into labor then, as it'll make me want to "pass a brick"!! Ah, male humor!
I'm ready, I've addressed my fears (they are all about the hospital, not the labor or birth), and the baby is in a great position it seems. Last night I noticed that I might actually have NEW stretch marks forming on the left side of my belly, where Sprout is hanging out, and my belly button was sooo off-center last night, it was disturbing. I think we might paint my belly or something today -- I'd love to henna it, but I don't know that I trust Jeff to do that!
