We are in labor! Before you get too excited, let me explain. The good news: we are in phase one of labor. I've got all the symptoms. Bad news: this phase could last days or weeks. I said on Facebook that I'm in limbo just like when you're not sure if school is gonna get out for a snow day or not. I'm preparing for work like I'm not coming back on Monday, but I could actually be back Monday and then the following two Mondays as well. This is frustrating, but exciting nonetheless. Before our most recent appointment, I knew our baby was big and he was not head down. I had actually assumed we would probably have a C-section and I'd come to terms with that. However, after our ultrasound and exam the other day she's sure a C-section will not be necessary and that I could go into labor anytime. The exciting thing about this is that labor is going to happen more spontaneously than a planned c-section. Everywhere I go, I imagine what I would do if my water broke...while scary and embarrassing, that is definitely going to make for a better story and I love a good story! I'm walking around trying to absorb all the details so that when it happens I'll be able to tell the story well.
The bottom line is that it's all a matter of "if" not "when" at this point and no matter how you look at it three more weeks is nothing...we will enjoy our freedom while it lasts (although I doubt Brandon considers spending the afternoon at Buy Buy Baby "freedom")!
