You know in the movie Father of the Bride II and how Kimberly Williams is all cute pregnant and Franc is there and it's all funny hahaa? I think that movie should be destroyed. What a completely inaccurate depiction of the last weeks are like. Maybe destroyed is not fair - what really should happen is a big red bar should flash on the screen the entire time that says "NOT an accurate dipection of ANY real life event." or maybe Kimberly Williams can do an After school special placement at the end of the movie talking about how this movie is a load of shit and even thought your like 16 when you watched the movie you'll think about it when you're MUCH older and think that it's NOT at all like it was in the movie.
Yesterday I had a couple of hours (3.5 to be exact) where I was having some obvious, semi-regular contractions. I wasn't doubled over in pain but they were painful so I didn't alert the media and I'm glad I didn't because obviously as I'm typing this from my living room it amounted to a handful of nothing. During this stretch of time the FH asked "what do you think?" no less then 15MILLION times and the thing about never having a baby before is I have no flipping clue. I have known for a long long time that not "knowing" any piece of information drives me batty and well this is just the most important thing EVER. So while I've been doing my meditation, relaxing, behaving in very zen ways the following things are still eating at me:
- I do not know when she is coming.
- I do not know where I will be when this happens.
- I won't know if this is another "episode" or if this is "the event" until I "know" and I don't KNOW when I'll KNOW.
- I do not know what any of this feels like so when I'm asked "what does it feel like" it takes a long long time to explain because it's so not like when you stub your toe.
Option 1: Pay her off. I will take the check book out of my purse and say "Okay, how much do you want?"
Option 2: Go shopping and throw myself in a vat of something yummy.
Option 3: Try to go for another long walk...the long walk yesterday only amounted to 2 miles in the heat and swelltasticness of it all.
Option 4: Go see a psycic because SOMEONE on this planet must be able to give me a clue.
Option 5: Find myself a pilot who can drag one of those ticker tape things that says "No progress. Leave Cass alone for your own safety."

IF the doc says "nothing...see you in a week", I vote for options 2 and 5. Or 2 and 3.
I HATED not knowing. I also hated having to try and explain what it felt like.
SOON!! Real soon!! You're doing an awesome job :)
You are getting close!! So excited for you and AndreAnna!! Can't wait for my turn!
Good luck and keep us posted. :)
I'm voting for #2 and #5. And as a very last resort, #1.
Hope it's soon!
Since I know you're already back from the OB and you HAVE made progress AND I am in labor, all I can say is COME OUT NOW YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE GIRL! YOUR MOMMA IS TIRED AND YOUR HUSBAND IS ABOUT TO BE BORN!
Did you make progress???? I've been lurking, keeping up....I'm crossing my fingers that you go today too!! How cool would it be for you and Andreanna to be onthe same day?!
I just saw your twitter comment..2-3 and %70?! You're going any minute now! Have you lost your plug?? Not just that, but you're 1/3 of the way there to being fully dialated!! GO Cass!
funny thing is, even having done it before, with #2 I HAD NO CLUE when it was coming! it will be just great however it happens! hang in there and hope it's soon for your sake..
i'm like you. i wanted to know so badly when it would happen. i kinda got lucky because she arrived on her due date! what's weird about child birth, it is all perfect in the end. the timing and the place-not remembering the pain and the hours of labor. perfect. you will look back on it and say, i don't think i've ever had such a perfect day.
