An action packed weekend! Firstly India beats Sri Lanka in cricket and then Manchester United beats West Ham. Getting those key updates out of the way, what else ??
We both spent a half day at work, did taxes, built the last of the ikea furniture, laundered the car seat and bassinet and moved more furniture out of the study, which completes the transition from very bare study to overcrowded study/nursery to very bare nursery :) We had two guests and went to a lovely housewarming dinner. And....in between..we had FALSE LABOR.Ow! Now you'd think it would be easy to figure out whether one is in labor, but this turns out to be untrue because so many weird pains and aches happen all the time. In this case, suppose you have a quite nasty Saturday night followed by a grumpy morning and it suddenly belatedly occurs to you that these new pains really are quite particularly regular and hey wait a minute this is a contraction! So here you are already feeling sheepish...."hm yes, i suppose this has been going on a while" but it is more embarrassing to get your nice husband all nerved up and pulling out the contraction timer and talking about going to the hospital after which things sort of slow down and stop, and then you end up feeling even more sheepish. Ugh.
Thank goodness for understanding husbands..
jo, you will know it when it's a real contraction, you will have no doubt at all!!!
ReplyDelete!!!!! you should've just specified that you wanted your baby to be delivered via stork
ReplyDeleteWell hello - one difference between practice labour and real labour or gas or whatever is the tension on your lower belly makes the whole muscle feel like your forehead rather than your palm to the touch. Weird but helpful to me to know. By the end I was kind of disappointed when it wasn't real labour. But plenty of time for that and it helped keep us calm when we finally did head to the hospital. Mwah.
