good news!

just kidding!

Talking to my sister. She gives me the cheerful advice, read in one of my mom's apparently numerous pregnancy books, that I should be wearing a pad and sleeping on a gd plastic sheet for the last few weeks. I said that I had read that only 10-15% of women's waters broke before labour started, so it seemed unnecessary, and who the hell wants to sleep on a plastic sheet? This whole 'end of pregnancy' thing has left me with little dignity, do I really need to revert to the days of possible bed-wetting? I don't have a plastic sheet. I could use one of Jr's changing pads, lol. Do you suppose that would do?

Nobody tells you about this shit before you're pregnant!

On a possibly hopeful note, I felt the baby genuinely trying to escape yesterday, I had to stop walking and made a horrible face, Grant's mom was worried. lol. Also have been having lots of bh contractions, but nothing regular, and my body just likes to mess with my head I think. Had a Dr. appt yesterday and the doc said that he (my girl dr. is away this week) could feel the baby's head quite low and couldn't move it, which is a sign he's moving into position. This also can happen weeks before labour, but I'm hoping that all my crazy symptoms will get together and start to work their magic soon. I have diapers that are only good to 10lbs! And newborn clothes! Not a lot of the latter, but still, I want to use all my stuff!
