She expects me to be needing her sometime tonight, though. It's my due date AND my little-sister's half-birthday today so it would be awesome if he came today.

I really hope this is it-otherwise labor is just one really cruel joke. If it is it-you won't hear from me for a couple of days because we will be going to the hospital and I know we will need to stay at least 24 hours.
Please send labor vibes-I would love to share some of these contractions with y'all!

Ok. THis is how I feel.




Dh just spoke to his family on the phone for awhile. If that doesn't tell you why I am

. Basically, they are coming down this weekend. They don't know we are having a hb or UCing. They think we're freaks for cloth diaperings and equate bf with child abuse. They've been begging me to induce for their convenience. So if I go into labor when they're here. Good gods. They will try to force me to the hospital and it will be a nightmare. So I am going to beg my chiro to help this baby out on Tuesday and do everything in my power to make it happen before Saturday. If she's not here by then, you can bet your bippy I'm sewing my legs closed!
