39 weeks, 3 days

yesterday ended up being a nice day. i took the kids to the park for 2 hours (which they LOVED), and spent the rest of the day reading. my neighbors invited me and the kids over for dinner, and it was nice to spend 4 hours NOT thinking constantly about labour and delivery. we talked about it, of course... kristin and i told our previous labour stories and compared notes. she's done at 2 - mostly because her pregnancies were SO awful - puking 1-2x per day for the entire 9 months with both kids, plus mucho puking during both labours.

anyway, when ian got home from work he joined us, so we were able to get our minds off of things for a bit.

woke up to some painful contractions during the night, but just a few, if i remember correctly. this morning, however, i am experiencing some more bloody show and cramping. i figure, i'll take cohen to school, and then take lili to the mall and walk walk walk walk walk.

the one thing i haven't experienced yet - nesting. although with lili, the true nesting urge didn't kick in until the contractions were already 6 minutes apart - what a funny sight i made, cleaning for a 5 minutes or so every minute.

what's making all of this waiting so much worse is the fact that all 3 other ladies i know who were due the same weekend as me have already had their babies. and 2 of them were first time moms. i'm happy for them, but... c'mon now!

all right, must hop in the shower and get the morning show on the road at the swaffield house!
