hey guess what! I'm in labour!

just kidding. April fools!

was that mean? oh well. many of you seem to think I'm not going to tell you when I have a baby anyway, so I figure it's fair to mess you around a bit.

My sister took me for a pedicure the other night, it was sweet. The colour is a reddish pink, and called 'nice colour, eh?'. Pretty fun. While I was there, the ladies all got talking about psychics and whatnot, and the wedding ring on the chain test to see if you're having a boy or girl baby. They do it over your left hand, and keep repeating the test so it reveals what sex all of your past / present / future babies will be. One woman did it to all of us, and 2 of the other women already had children, and it guessed their sexes correctly, then predicted other kids for them. One woman it didn't move at all, just stopped, she doesn't have kids, nor is she planning on having any. They did me, and according to the test I'm having a girl. Then a boy, then another girl. Pretty fun, they made me promise I'd call and let them know, because I explained to them that I was pretty sure it was a boy, given what we've seen on the many ultrasound scans. It would be pretty funny, but rather surprising.

I called my doctor's office, and the receptionist said that she'd probably not rupture my membranes right there, but would likely send me over to labour and delivery. I guess I'll just have to go with bags packed and see what happens. That's on Tuesday. Wow. I'm not sure if knowing *is* any better than not knowing, really.

Also, to add to my list of fears and worries, I've been thinking more about the whole tattoo epidural thing, and since I can't find out ahead of time, since it depends on the anesthetist on duty, I'm worried now that if for some reason I need a c-section ( I can't see why I would, but it's always possible, I'm trying not to think too much about it) that they'd have to knock me out, and I really, reallllly don't want that. So, hopefully I won't need an epidural anyway, and if I do, I can get one, and there'll be no need for any of this silly c-section business.
