Losing "It"

If you don't know what "It" is, then I'm sorry to say that I won't be the one to enlighten you. If you're a Mom though, you can probably gander a guess as to what I'm talking about. Late last night I started noticing the first signs of "it" and it has continued on through this morning so this may be an indication that I will have a new baby bundle of my own within a few days!

*Sorry Dad and Uncle Bruce- if you don't know what it is I'm talking about, you will have to ask your lovely wives what I'm alluding to. ;-)

It seems that Chloe has ears and knew that I was getting apprehensive about everything because she has really been speeding things up. I am playing hooky from church today because I won't be the woman whose water breaks at church! I mean, I will be seeing these people for many years and that's not the kind of first impression I want to leave with them! Of course, as it so happens, when you prepare for the worst you are usually over prepared- meaning that I'll probably sit and wait at home with nothing happening when I could have gone to church after all.

However, I am reminded of a certain someone who thought she had plenty of time to do what she was doing and subsequently just barely got to the hospital in the nick of time and was rushed through the hospital halls like a scene out of E.R.

So I think I will play it safe this go around. ;-)

Which reminds me, I have a bag to pack...

I never lost "it" Yeah for that! I am telling you, June first...I think a new baby in a new month will be great. Are you gonna post from the hospital or send out pictures or call me or something? :) A little blog post is good enough for me.

If I had just "lost it," I think I would have stayed home, too. Those second babies do tend to move quicker once things are set into motion. After being a first-hand witness to what happened to that "certain someone" I was extra cautious.

I just knew you wouldn't make it to your induction date! I had the exact same thing happen with Sam--I got my induction date scheduled, kind of freaked out since I really didn't want to get induced, and luckily things happened on their own a few days before I was supposed to be induced! So, yippee, you're definitely getting there...and chances are you're reading this from your hospital room or something. I hope...keeping fingers crossed. Can't wait to hear!!! Good luck!!!
