Overnight Miracle & the Beginning of Labor?

Thanks for all your prayers.

Chance is feeling WAY better.  Other than him being a little bit warm this morning (only 99 degrees), his fever is totally gone.

He’s still a bit whiney, but that’s to be expected since he’s not 100% yet.  It’s amazing he’s recovered so quickly.

I, on the other hand, feel like poopy.

I’m wondering if I’m in labor.  My belly is tight, I’ve got pressure down under (ew), I keep breaking out into a cold OR hot sweat every few minutes and I’m just not feeling “quite right”.  Brian’s keeping a close eye on me… whatever that means.

With Chance, I went through prodromal labor the month prior to his birth.  I can’t exactly remember what that felt like since all I can remember is the 38 hours of ACTUAL labor after being induced a week late in the hospital, including transition.  I do vaguely remember the couple weeks prior being “kinda uncomfortable” in comparison.  Kinda like now.

After dinner, we came home and I packed our hospital bag right away (just in case)… so now we’re ready for anything.  I even cleaned our toilets.  

Why not?

    Yes, you must come home to clean toilets…like they’ll still be clean when you do come home :) I, too, will be praying for wisdom and patience during this pre-birth time — also very glad that Chance’s fever is down.

    So…you *could*, theoretically, have the baby in the toilet now. Since it’s clean. Yes?

    You make me laugh–

    You sound like me…remember I posted on having to clean toilets when I didn’t feel good at 37 weeks? :) Praying for you…and for the rest of the fam as well!
