So, a friend called up this morning to see if we're interested in going with them to Disneyland tomorrow. We actually turned down a trip today with our usual crowd, but there's *no way* could have kept up with them. This, however, is a friend with a daughter the same age as my son, and a baby born in November... them, I could keep up with.
DH would not be able to go. Yeah, he takes personal days for Disneyland trips several times a year, but this is just not a week he can do that. Labor is pretty much the only excuse he can use to duck out of work this week.
So... I'd be an hour-plus away from him. I'd have the car. I'd have my son, and be with two other adults, one other kid, and an infant. If I *went* into labor... gosh. Maybe have the dad drive me in my car back to town, while my friend drives her kids? Hm.
I could say no, of course... but DS has been asking about Disneyland lately, and it would be a nice surprise for him, especially as he gets more anxious about his whole little world turning upside down with impending siblinghood. So I'm tempted to go!
As for my funny thought... DS is watching The Incredibles. I can't help but think, wow, birth must be really, really EASY for Elastigirl (Helen). "Oh, baby's ready... [pop] and here s/he is!"

: I'm not even venturing out to go grocery shopping alone at this point, so the idea of driving somewhere an hour away and walking around all day sounds impossible. I had a very rapid labor last time though, so that is my reasoning. If you are feeling up to it and think you could figure out a way to get home if you go into labor, then I think its okay. Although it probably would *really* wear you out to go today and if you go into labor soon you might regret having spent that much energy. I know that at this point I tend to think I can do way more than I actually can!
: I have no energy even to make a snack when I'm starving and I am *so* grouchy. I think I must be 'done' now, right?
