When I gave the baby permission to wait until Wednesday, I didn't mean he could start labor immediately and then wait until Wednesday to actually been born.

I've been having contractions since Friday night. During the night they'll rise almost to go-to-the-hospital levels (which since we're only five minutes from the hospital, is a pretty high level.) And then they'll back off again. But never quite go away.

This is getting very annoying. Also very sleep-depriving.

But one must cope somehow. I'm trying to reset my goals. There's a lady at church who was in labor for two weeks with her oldest. So my new goal is to beat Mary Kappas and labor for three weeks.
