Pregnant after 35

I think we have lift off...

Alright ladies.    I *kind* of slept, every once in a while feeling something and thinking HUH HUH HUH!?   IS THIS IT? 

.. but woke up at 5, and thought - right, if it is it, this is my last chance for a shower and a hair wash for 4 days... (I've got the coarse curly hair that gets a washing twice a week at best, and man was I due.    Last time i was caught off guard and my head SUFFERED for the timing of the hair washing LOL!) so I hopped in the shower, put away laundry (the nesting just doesn't stop), cleaned up Maggie's room, put the last of the stuff away in the nursery, cleaned up our room, made the bed, dried my hair, made Maggie's lunch etc....  wasn't really feeling much...

DH stayed home, so I had my coffee & breakfast (he made me french toast - so that got him a few points this morning... hahah slight aside, I just said to Ms. Maggie who is in a new outfit "you look so cute I could pee my pants."   DH said "you probably will in a little while... "  nice. ), dried my hair, put on some make up, and  lay down on the couch to close my eyes for a few mins..

... then it happened.   No no - water is still where it should be for now, but I had my thumping start again... and I'm *actually* feeling contractions now.   They're not too close together, and they don't feel "strong" but for ME, just feeling them is huge.

So.   We're dropping Ms. Maggie at school, calling the doc's office and saying we're coming in so they can check me out.    i think it's pretty likely that we'll head to the hospital from there (across the way).

Fingers crossed ladies!    I'll keep you all posted and i ADORE you for all your humor and support :)

    How exciting! I hope this is the real thing for you! I woke up this morning wondering if today was your day (for real... not sure why, but I did, and I was a tad bit jealous).

    We can't wait for an update. Take care of yourself and enjoy your freshly washed locks :)
