• Good evening.  I do NOT have any energy today.  I had contractions all night long.  Dreamed I delivered a baby at least 3x.  And woke up CONVINCED my water had broken.  And took myself 10 minutes to convince myself that I was dry...and it WAS a dream. 

  
  

  Woke up contracting this morning.  And told Rob I was not getting up until he had to go to work...to try to catch as much rest as I could before I had child care.

  
  

  I got up about 9:30 talked to the babies/kids for a few minutes.  Rob took a couple looks at my lack of energy...and my comment that my stomache felt like it was on fire.  And called in sick.  I went back to bed.  Slept 'til 12:30.  Got up ate a bit of lunch (cooked by Rob)   he took kids to town...I went back to bed.  Slept 'til 3:30/4:00.  Got up and convinced my kids I was still alive.  I stayed up until after dinner and crawled back in bed at 5:15 tonight.  I just layed there reading...and riding out contractions.   

  
  

  I just briefly read through everybody's blogs just now.  And that's the extent of my enthusiasm for this day.  ALL I've done profitable was get Kaylin's diaper/pj's on tonight...because she was convinced daddy didn't know how to. 

  
  

  Sooooooooooo now I'm gonna go sit down and watch tv at 8 pm...and go back to bed at 9.  What a day huh?

  
  

  One more week, one more week, one more week...and I will be at the "safe" baby time.  And I'm gonna get up and do jumping jacks to MAKE these contractions stronger...and have this baby come.  Ok...I'm not that stupid....I'd really like to make it to 36 weeks...but I'm tired, and this is OLD.
