Party!

Who knows how to throw a party?

I think my water broke at 11:20 pm. It's an hour later now and I've had my Chex cereal which makes me happy because the minute I hit the hospital doors, I'm on a strict diet of ice chips... not that I'll care, but it sounds horrific.

I'm getting stronger contractions, but they're not regular. But they're darn achy.

I don't want another false alarm, so I'm going to wait until the kid is halfway out, just to be sure.

So much of health care is hurry up and wait that I want to stay home as long as possible.

Breathing... in through the nose, pause a few seconds, out through the mouth... ouuuchh...

My doc said this would all happen in the middle of the night. I don't think she's on call tonight which means our 9-month relationship is all for nothing.

Owwwww!!! Pain.

My ginormous uterus is hard as a rock. And the baby is kicking around in there. She must be uncomfortable.

Husband is coming to check on me. "What are you doing?" "I'm reading the news. Charter bus plunges off overpass."

It's been an hour since the dam broke... I hope to baby Jesus things are progressing. I have things to do this week. Get this baby out!

Breath. Breath. Breath.
