Whoops

Ok, so I think I freaked a lot of people out by the way I worded my last entry--I should have concluded by saying that it could still be awhile, like weeks maybe. Sorry, everyone. I haven't felt contractions yet; when I said the thing about the back labor, I was more trying to illustrate how excited people get when you give them the slightest indication that labor could even be on the horizon. (It's nice when you have the hubby call in sick to work for you and instead of being irritated with you, they just say excitedly, "yeah, yeah, but does this mean she's in labor??" and even if your husband says no, they assume it's right around the corner.)

So if I'm in labor at all, it's the early, latent phase. I do have like four symptoms as listed in my What to Expect book, but they're all of the "could be present hours, days, or even weeks before true labor begins" variety. And they're all pretty much gross, so I won't mention them here. Let's just say I'm done working, because I haven't felt like leaving the house.

I kind of have a feeling that it won't be TOO much longer, but it might just be optimism. I've been reading up on more details of labor, delivery, and postpartum in my book, and it's nice feeling more and more prepared. I wasn't really interested before, because it seemed so far away. Still does, some.

I just realized that what I've wanted since last April has come--I am DONE with my job--and I let it pass in a sentence! This is a great occasion!

...I guess it's hard to celebrate when you feel like crap. :)

Oh, and comments should be enabled now. Sorry about that!
