Hey, guess what? Breaking news – or should that be breaking water? I’m leaking. Really leaking. A lot! Even women gestating elephant calves don’t have *these* kind of bladder control issues!<\/p>\n
Waiting for the midwife to call back… still no contractions.<\/p>\n
And you know why my water is breaking as we speak? Because tonight is Survivor Fans versus Favourites<\/a> AND the new episode of LOST, and they’re on back to back on different channels and I don’t know how to set the VCR to tape both of them. (Yes, I’m about to go into labour and my biggest dilemma is which show to tape and whether I have enough time to learn how to set the VCR. I’m just that shallow.)<\/p>\n Edited to add:<\/strong> the theme of this pregnancy really is turning out to be “hurry up and wait.” Since I’m still not having any contractions (but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind – nor my soaked pants! – that this is the real deal) I’m just supposed to hang around here and wait for something else exciting to happen. The midwife will call me around lunchtime to see if contractions have started and talk about next steps, which will likely include another 40 km round-trip drive to their office this afternoon for another assessment. <\/p>\n Really, I’m sure there are more important things I’m supposed to be doing right now…<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, guess what?
