Hey, I just read your pity party post and want to send you hugs. I seriously feel you. After the past 3 nights of contractions and intensity I figure I'm probably close to 4-5cm now (was 3cm mid last week) too - and it scares the crap out of me every time DH has to drive 45 minutes to work, worrying about whether or not he could get home if there's traffic in time to take me to the hospital or if I'll have to get there myself etc. Nevermind finding someone to watch DD while waiting for my mom ... ugh the whole thing is just getting depressing.

Just wanted to let you know you're not alone at all in how you're feeling today, when the contractions stopped last night after I was SO sure "this is it!" I was beyond disappointed and frustrated. It totally blows right now. I feel bad for myself, for DD, and for DH!

Hopefully we can whine to eachother - and not for very long because the kids will decide it's time to come out for both of us ASAP. It's so hard with another little one...

    My next one isn't until Friday... I really hope I DON'T make it hah. I guess I just had a part of me thinking that because DD came early, he would too - and now I'm having the big wake-up reality call that this is not necessarily the case. Possible, maybe even 'likely', but not for sure. I'm just really depressed about the stop and go this round... I even charged my stupid cameras last night because I was so excited LOL.

    I think if nothing else, you and I are definitely in for quick labors... especially if we end up going in at like 5 right off the bat. The drive to the hospital is going to suck hehe, but at least it should be quick right?? I keep telling myself that. I got a pedicure this morning and an extra long foot rub in hopes it helps out... if nothing else it helps relax me for a little while anyway. Try to be kind to yourself, I know I am!

    That's good that they'll keep you at 5cm! You're soo close... I don't think my birthing center would do that...hrmph. I'm lucky that ours is only 10 minutes away though.

    Here's to hoping both of us don't make it to the OB offices on Friday ;) 

    Pineapple huh? I haven't heard that one! Might have to partake tonight... can't hurt, anyway.
