Thursday With Possible TMI

[angela_n_hunt]

Today is perking along and continues to be entertaining.

Yesterday, I lost part of my mucus plug, with some blood. You can go look up what that means, if you need the gory details, but I prefer to not impede your last meal. I'll wait.

*hums*

Back?

Okay. If you bothered to do in depth reading, this is *not* a reliable indicator of impending labor, *but* it is a sign that, well, your time, it be limited. As in, labor could start any day, between now and the next two weeks.

I said it wasn't a reliable indicator.

And I've been having massive Braxton-Hicks contractions since the plug decided to let go. Noticeable to the point of, "excuse me, what are you doing?", but no pain per se. Imagine a giant hand grabbing your abdomen and *squeezing*. For two minutes. Without letting go. Even once. They get stronger if I walk anywhere. And my body is starting to do a purge cycle. I won't go into further detail than that.

Lather, rinse, repeat for a while.

We finished packing the hospital go bags last night. One for me, one for the Bean.

Who knows what any of this means. Could be nothing. Or you might want to start following my twitter for updates, because I mean to twitter from the hospital. :) I'm quennessa over there too.

In the meantime, I'm ignoring all of this to the best of my ability, but the humor factor is hysterical. My dayjob was shocked to see me today. We haven't even had the baby shower yet. We have no newborn clothes, except for some diapers. The Bean won't be completely naked. But the co-sleep bed isn't back and yeah, we're just not ready. At all.

Cause y'know, I'm supposed to have three more weeks before going on maternity leave.

Yeah.

I don't think I'm going to make it either. LOL

So, think good baby thoughts for me, and please, I could really use prayers that the Bean WAIT till *after* the baby shower this Saturday, so, y'know, she won't be naked.

After that? All bets are off.

The cosleeper is, at most, an hour away should you desperately need it, sheets included.

My mom's labor with me her body purged in both directions simultaneously. With both of my siblings her system decided that was unnecessarily dramatic. She was extremely grateful for that. ;)

I'm so damn glad it's purging only one end. LOL

And thank you for the update! I really appreciate it. But like I said, I'm hoping the Bean will be kind and wait till past Saturday! :)

I now have this very entertaining image of you in the hospital bed clutching the phone twittering away while you're in labor. *snerk*

Oh, and may or may not be able to make it to ze shower. All depends on what my ride situation looks like.

[angela-n-hunt.livejournal.com]

That's pretty much what I plan to do.

And no worries. At this point, I don't know if *I'm* going to make the shower. LOL

Sounds like you're pretty close! Exciting stuff, hope all goes well.

[angela-n-hunt.livejournal.com]

I really hope not. LOL I'm hoping that this will just lurk at this level right now. I have taxes to finish for people and work to get in line.

But, y'know, Mother Nature is clearly not consulting with me. LOL
