Well, it seems the time is come.. or it appears so. I've been up since about 2, with a short nap in the wee hours of the morning and then another before lunch time. I called in for school and had Windy arrive, figuring I'd be too exhausted for school and that perhaps this is just how the some labors go... slowly. I hope it progresses because now I feel ready to be done. Heading back to school tomorrow, only to have more contractions that may or may not lead to labor is anti-climatic and not terribly fair to Windy or myself in terms of planning-- or at least a challenge. I am relishing my final moments in isolation. I encouraged Luke to keep his meeting with his Mom this morning at IKEA while I rested and then sent him off to the bank and to spend his birthday gap gift card at the mall while he was in the neighborhood. He's going to also grab some Chipotle, the spiciest thing I eat and let's hope that moves things along. I will also try and convince Luke to go on a walk with me later:) I want to move this along:)
