Thnings MAY be starting...

....in the next few days or weeks...

My cold is REALLY kicking my butt, it has moved into my lungs and sends waves of lighting up from my cervix when I cough. I also have a low grade fever. (99.9 typmanic), a sore throat, and itchy ears.

One of our three family cats got out on Mother's Day and has yet to be seen. I was going to go file a report today, but I am feeling pretty run down. I also have my home visit today with my midwife.

BUT in some non-kitty-and-cold related news, I am starting to get some pretty irregular but strong contractions in my back, some menstrual-like cramping and lost a huge piece of my mucous plug. I am also pooping a lot more and my nausea is picking up.

I am laying down and drinking a ton of water hoping if this is just from the cold that I can stop it. Man I wish we had an "expiration date" stamped on our bellies...

I opened this thread about to ream you out about all your 42w talk when you were happily starting labor before me!

So sorry about your kitty. Just remember that lots of kitties if they get out, wander around for a few days and then come back when they realize they get 2 square meals a day from you.

Take it easy!

hope the cold clears up soon, so you can get back to focusing on whether or not you're in labor .

Hoping your getting some rest! Most kitties come back as soon as they get hungry

I hope so, with so many outside kitties in the neighborhood I am just hoping he did not find another food source. He is usually the first one to beg for food, so I was hoping his little tummy would have him home by now.
