Something that passes for a real post
Let's recap: yesterday, near-constant contractions for all of my waking hours. They were about eight minutes apart and painful right before dinner, but once I stood up, made dinner and ate, they almost stopped. Clearly, fake contractions.
Today, I thought I was in for round 2, seeing as I was gripping the counter to steady myself while making breakfast for the kids. But, magically, the rest of the day was almost bearable. I still had contractions, but nothing painful and nothing remotely regular. Apparently my uterus decided to screw with me.
Let me tell you how EXCITED the prospect of enduring this for two more weeks makes me. I absolutely can't wait for more of this. Why yes, I am complaining. Thanks for not judging. While I am trying to enjoy this pregnancy, I also don't get jazzed about the idea of non-stop contracting for 14 days.
I just had one as I typed that last paragraph. Perhaps it was psychosomatic? Or I just have a lot of them and it was coincidental timing? Who knows.
That was all a roundabout way of saying I don't really have anything to say, but I knew if I didn't post something, people would be all, "ZOMG, r u in labor?"
More exciting updates coming tomorrow. I have an OB appointment in the afternoon so perhaps we'll find out all these contractions have caused more dilation. I know you're all on pins and needles.

And here I was thinking I was gonna go and win the baby guessing game for once..!
Darn you fake contractions...darn you!
Are you SURE you don't wanna have the baby in the next couple hours? You could do it, it'd be a fun way to cap off the evening...Or something like that.
I'm delurking to say that I'm just glad that the mucus plug song is no longer at the top of the page when I come to your blog. That song kept getting in my head and driving me crazy while simultaneously grossing me out.
Hope the contractions are bearable in the next few days and you have a happy Turkey Day.
I AM on pins and needles! I do have to say, though, my poor sister in law just dealt with almost non-stop contractions for the last TWELVE WEEKS. She is now proud mama to a boy as of Friday but I wanted to let you know, you do have something to be thankful for this year. :)
Take care!
The problem is, contractions aren't cute.
