In an effort to not have an April Fool's baby

I'm doing absolutely nothing today.  Nada.  Sitting on the couch, drinking water, and not doing anything.  Hopefully this works!  MH thinks I'm being silly and that a birthday of April 1 really wouldn't be that bad, but I think tomorrow would be much better! :)

    I went to school with a girl whose b'day was 4/1....she hated it!

    Yeah tomorrow would be much better.

    Were you this early with Claire?  I will still be working at 37 weeks but sometimes my job is so sedentary that it could mimic sitting on the couch all day doing nothing!

    I just have this vision of poor Jack going out to dinner for his birthday and telling the waiter, "It's my birthday" and the response being, "Yeah, right.  April Fool's!"  I know that is a stupid example, but it's all I've got. And really, what mommy doesn't have a ridiculous worry (or 46) like that???

    No, Claire was just 8 days early.  I've been having contractions since 33 weeks, and the contractions started getting things going slowly at 35 weeks....yesterday at my appointment I was 4cm and 80% effaced, so there is definitely no way I'll be making it to my due date!  I'm still having contractions constantly, just not actual labor contractions I guess...so it could really be any time.  I think part of the problem is that I am a teacher and I'm on my feet, walking all over school picking kids up for our small-group sessions, then came home and chased after Claire for all of those weeks.  My body just couldn't take it!  My last day of work was Friday because of all of this that has been going on.  I'm hoping that taking it easy for a few days will help Jack cook a little bit longer!

    Eek! Certainly sounds like you don't have long but hopefully he'll hang in there at least another week or so. Enjoy your day and I hope it works!
