Sing along everyone!

Contractin' Away in Margaritaville
by Jimmy Buffett

Nibblin' on cohosh cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of my cervix covered with oil. (EPO that is!)
Strummin' on Hub's thing on my front porch swing.
Let this work
He's getting' some boils.

Contractin' away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for mucus plugs is my cult
Some people claim that there's a half moon to blame,
But I know it's no body's fault.

Don't know the reason,
Babe stayed all season
With no bloody show, and no reason to MOO!
Tonight's a real beauty,
Prodromal labor sucks, how I got here
I haven't a clue.

Contractin' away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for mucus plugs is my cult
Some people claim that there's a half moon to blame,
But I know it's no body's fault.

Labor? Makes me flip flop,
Swollen feet might pop,
Let water break, so I know it's real.
Or maybe booze in the blender,
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me sleep on.

Contractin' away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for mucus plugs is my cult
Some people claim that there's a half moon to blame,
But I know, it's no body's fault.
Some people claim that there's a half moon to blame,
And I know it's no body's fault.

I'm more at the point this morning where I'm ready to just grunt at people and snarl. Ugh.

"Soon" as in before November? Before the next decade? Before my other kids graduate from high school?

Bah. I'm just all bugaboo today. I'm trying trying trying to enjoy the kicks & rolls & savoring my last bit of my last pregnancy and having this baby all to myself... and yet, I just feel so down in the dumps right now.

I've got to get my groove back if we're going to be at this for a few more weeks.

aw Claire!
the end is SO hard, even without all the prodromal stuff you've got going on. i'm not sure how soon, but i know it will be soon.

much love to you!

Sorry-- I just had to let you know.

It's okay, I thought the same thing at first. Actually, I thought "cult" might have been a typo at first

Hey, you can sing it however you like in your head! I was just trying to rhyme "cult" with "fault".
I guess you could change "Fault" to "Faunt".

Thanks so much, Chrissy.
I know logically, it's only a matter of what... probably a couple/few more weeks. And, yet, I'm up, I'm down. I'm just not very level emotionally right now. Thanks for the huggin' & lovin'.
