Someone needs to go into time-out for all these false starts I've been getting for the past week and a half. I could handle going over my due date, if my body would just leave me alone and send the continuous and comforting message, "not yet." Instead I have frequent and semi-strong contractions for a 24-hour period, just to have it all come to a screeching halt for a few days like a "gotcha!" gag.
Patience is a virtue.
At first I thought that there was something I was supposed to do before he came--that karma was holding back the waves of labor for me to figure something out or get something done. Nope, I made my list and checked it twice. Then we started deliberately putting ourselves into inconvenient situations and saying aloud, "Goodness, it sure would be inconvenient if this baby came now!" He's not biting. Now I'm wondering if little junior just doesn't get it. Last night he was squirming around like he was stuck under a sheet and couldn't find his way out. Somebody needs to show that boy where the ejection button is.

Watch out...when I finally decided Ruby was really coming she came so fast the doctor barely made it.
Each of mine had to be "evicted," too. Here's to hoping you find that eject button. Can't wait to see you.
PS: We've missed you on our blog. :)
Good luck with that! If you find the way to communicate "eject," you will have hit the jackpot financially!
Deep cleansing breaths, and practice relaxing. It helps in all kinds of situations....
Love you!
