I think I’m in pre-labor – I’ve checked with the experts (friends, mom, triage, etc.) and will keep monitoring. I feel like an idiot because I’ve had one baby already and should know the drill. BUT my early labor pain tolerance is quite good and I’ve been uncomfortable for weeks…so I am a bit worried I’ll miss the boat and be ready to push before I know what’s going on this time! (With Sam they were going to send me home without an exam because my face and my voice did not register pain after 10 hrs of labor and 4cm dilated.) I have pen and notepad in hand and am timing contractions. We’ll head over when they’re 10min apart. Dave had a suspicion Ben might come soon and decided to go ahead and start leave today. So he’s finishing up some nesting chores and then we’ll be ready. Tim leaves tomorrow. I wonder if he’ll get to met Ben after all?
