Confession: For the past 4 weeks when I go to the doctor I go READY to GO. What is ready to go? My hospital bags are in the car, my glasses are in my purse along with an empty contact case, the camera batteries are fully charged and packed, the bed is made, the cats are given extra dry food, the house is clean, the dishes are put away. Ready to GO.
Controlling that piece of it made me feel "better" but not today my friends. Today I've decided I'm living on the edge (cue Aerosmith video and am I the only one that didn't remember that S. Tyler grabbed his naked crotch at the beginning of this video?). This doesn't mean that all those things aren't done...most of them are....I didn't lose my mind after all and I'm still technically crazy. I didn't pack my glasses or contact case, or charge the camera batteries (I packed the charger), and I didn't leave extra food for the cats (I left a key hidden for Pocklock if necessary). I know, edgy, right?
Observation: The NYSEG truck has just driven around our cul-de-sac for the fourth time. Interesting that energy consumption isn't top of mind for him.
And What if you're still pregnant? You ask. How will you keep yourself from breaking down into a heap of tissue when you get in the parking lot like you have the three previous visits? I have stuff to do. Like download the new Sugarland CD, the Counting Crows CD, Listen to more of Brooke Fraiser to see if it's worth the buy and I'm going to make some more pickles because those turned out REALLY yummy - this time I'm making dill. I've got some stuff to do to help out the FH which is actually interesting as opposed to annoying so I will actually do that without procrastinating. I'm making chicken salad for dinner tonight with fresh potato chips and ice cream sundaes with strawberry sauce for dessert. I also have a LOT of work to do on the DVR and sitcoms to find to record (hello, who doesn't want to watch Wings while they are breastfeeding? Joe Hackett = HOT). So if it's not today Lexi that's okay. I've got stuff going on to you know....

Thinking of you and waiting for an update...
YAY!! YOu did the exact thing that I did, the day the Dr. decided to induce me. I said eff it, and left the house without a thing. Of course he made me go home and get it and be at the hospital by a certain time, but it was worth it!!
1-LOVE LOVE LOVE Aerosmith. Best concerts I've ever been to, hands down. I think you've started something today... Patrick won't be too excited to come home to me dancing around to Stevie and Joe.
2-I bet, that since you have stuff to do and you're ok with her non-arrival today, that this is the big day. I think she's trying to shake your way of doing things up a bit :)
You are so Funny! Good Luck and I hope she comes soon before you really start living on the edge.
That video is kinda freaky. I hope she comes soon! :)
The day they turned Gabe, I REFUSED to bring the bag to the hospital. We were told I want allowed to leave and John had to make the 30 min drive to get the bag.
the bag is important. super. duper. important. :)
oh and i had to watch that aerosmith video because i had NO IDEA he did that! crazy! :)
LOVE Aerosmith. I've seen them 3 times in concert.
I am totally off topic. I never once went to an appointment with my bags packed. And I only knew with the twins when things were happening; with Meg we were sent home to get our things before being admitted, and well with Drew, maybe we did bring something because I was in such friggin pain (and he was born within an hour of getting to the hospital!).
So, I'll keep sending good vibes your way.
You will probably go into labor tonight.
