...because these braxton hicks contractions are going to kill me first!!!!!! I think I jinxed myself because my doctor asked last Thursday if I had been having any BH yet, and I told her I hadn't. Literally, since that day, I have had them nonstop. The worst thing about this is that the pain of BH contractions is supposedly not even a fraction of real labor contractions.. but hey, at least I get an epidural during labor. :) No need to try to be a hero!
I'm getting nervous about labor, but not in the usual way. I don't have the scared-of-the-labor-pain nerves.. but I'm more scared of not knowing when to go to the hospital. My doctor says that I will just know when it's time to go, but it's hard to be at ease with that advice when this is all so new and uncertain for me. Part of me hopes that Abby Kate will hang in there until the 7th so the doctor will just induce me because the spontaneity of it all just makes me so nervous! Then again, the 7th is so far away.... and I would love for her to just be here NOW.
In other news, my birthday is on Sunday!! :) I am sooo excited because I am making my parents and husband accompany me to Joe T Garcia's for a delicious birthday dinner on the patio. I can't wait. I haven't been to Joe T's since my bachelorette party. The only two downfalls are that Courtney is away at school, and I'm pregnant... so margaritas are out. Oh well, at least sister will be here within the week after my birthday to meet baby girl!
That's all for now... just needed to vent about my excruciating pain. Now, I am off to reattempt this sleeping thing!
