I'm sitting here in labor. Yes - real labor. Contractions are coming about every 8-10 minutes. The on-call nurse told us to wait an hour OR until the contractions are 5-7 minutes apart and then call her back. She'll send us in at that point. Looks like this kid is on his/her way!!
Feb 21 or Feb 22. Not sure. We shall see soon!
I'll share more updates when I can. It may be a while.

I do NOT want to do this again!
My 2 year old daughter came home with a stomach bug. She spent all day Saturday throwing up and then the 'fun' diapers began. 24 hours. Not a big deal. She's back to her silly self.
Last night I wasn't feeling so hot. I went to bed early. An hour later I was making the first of about 7 mad dashes for the toilet. Yes - I had caught my daughter's stomach bug. While I'm SURE I was NOT attractive while vomiting, I couldn't help but think how utterly comical it must look. I am now 37 weeks pregnant - about as big as you can get. The way our bathroom is set up, the toilet has it's own little room with a door. Read LITTLE ROOM. Put giganto prego lady on her knees with her face in the bowl and then ask that pregnant lady to get up when she's done. I'm surprised there aren't literal dents in the wall. I probably looked drunk. No. I wish.
Oh - and for those who have never been pregnant before, let me tell you a little secret. You don't have great control over your 'other end' functions this late in pregnancy. So, heave your guts out so hard that you think your eyeballs are about to pop out and see if you can 'hold it in'. Good luck. I'll be here when you get over the shame and tell me about it. I'm just saying.....
