False Alarm

Last night we rushed off to the hospital excited that I was in labor. I really was in labor and it lasted for around 5-6 hours. I was making good progress (dilating and effacing) when suddenly everything stopped. If I was just a few days further along, I would have been given drugs to kick start everything up again. I guess my doctor wants me to hold this baby in just a wee bit longer if possible.

We didn't know if the labor would kick up again after leaving the hospital so we stayed at my parent's house (which is much closer to the hospital). Although I did have regular contractions every 5-7 minutes throughout the day, the intensity and frequency didn't increase.

We hope the baby comes soon, and will let you all know once we have some exciting news to share.

I guess the baby likes to play tricks, as he sure fooled us today.

Practical Jokes
I enjoy a practical joke just like everyone, but I feel that this is taking things a bit too far. Funny idea, but I don’t think it should have gone further than an idea. I think I would cry if someone sent this stuff to me.

I found this site by searching “get even” on google. The story is like this. I ran into an old flame today and was quite happy to see him after 4 years. We talked for about 10 minutes and by the end I wanted to get away fast. He was once a very conservative person, but now uses language that is more suited for a sailor. I really like the theory of, “The best revenge is to live well”, I’m so thrilled that I have lived well. To be honest, it broke my heart to see that he is doing everything BUT living well. I never thought that living well would make me feel bad for the other person. Revenge isn’t all it’s cracked up to be after all.
