*Drums fingers*

Well, the waiting game has begun, I suppose. The past few days (and I’m guessing the next few as well) I’ve been on high alert. Everything has been “Ooh, was that a contraction? Was that?” And I’m sure I’ll know when the real ones come, but at this point, I’m suspicious of every little twinge. I have been having menstrual-like cramps for the past three days, with some random painful Braxton Hicks, I guess. I’m also sure that she’s moved even farther down. I now know what it feels like when they say “it feels like the baby is about to fall out!” I keep telling my guts and skin that they only have to hold out a few more days before we get some relief. She’s still moving as much as ever; she’s just stronger now. It feels like she’s trying to kick her way out of my pelvis.

Jason keeps putting more time restrictions on her: “Auri, you can’t come out until I finish my project.” He finishes it. Two days later: “Auri, wait until after 5 on Wednesday so I don’t have to get a sub for my lab sections.” 5 on Wednesday comes and goes. “Just wait a little longer until 5 on Thursday so I can finish my homework.” At this rate, she’s never going to have permission to come out and I’m going to just keep getting bigger and bigger until I explode :) Nah… I know she’ll come out whether we’re ready or not. Oh well! Either way, I only have to wait a few more days!
