Drip, drip, drip  

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
I do believe I'm drippy and a wee bit crampy to go with it!

And don't you know, it would happen today?! I took DD to the Dr. this AM because her nasty cold was accompanied by green discharge and puffy eyes. They said - bacterial conjunctivitis - she'll be contagious for another 24 hours once we start the eye drops

Then, DH comes home this afternoon/evening and says "my throat is a little sore". Ah yes, now I'm sure to go into labor because my whole family is sick!

And so, wouldn't you know...in middle of dinner I'm sitting at the table (on the birth ball) and think "hmm, did I just pee a little?" Uh no, I don't think I did...either that or all urinary control is out the window because I'm still dripping 2 hours later!! Nope, I do believe I'm in the early stages of labor here! DH's immediate response (yes, at 7pm) was to go to bed!!

Anyway, I'll keep you updated a bit off and on as I do want to get some rest myself...

Fingers crossed for a 5/7/08 baby!!

Doesn't it always happen that way? When you're least ready, somehow it's time.

I hope things start moving for you soon and when they do ELV for you!

Hope this is it for you, and that you wake up tomorrow to a healthy family.

All righty -- it's 1:30 am and I just woke up DH to say that I'd appreciate him helping me to start time these guys. Poor guy has a killer sore throat, but I'm pretty sure labor trumps that!

wheeee I knew it was coming...and I let my insomnia get the better of me knowing you'd wake up with an update lol. Poor DH. But you're right, labor wins hands down. Maybe he can take something for his sore throat to get thru? Update us when you can mama...ELV's coming like mad for you!
