I realize I am tempting fate by posting this

But I appear to be not in labor, though I spent the hours between 4 & 6 am thinking I was. (I had some kind of stitch in my side that, I think, was changing the way the Braxton Hicks contractions felt.)

Nevertheless, (a) that was two+ hours of sleep I'd like back and (b) the amount of freaking out I was doing during that two hours strongly suggests we need to make various logistical things a higher priority. So now I know what I'm doing tonight.

(FutureSibling, it's not that we don't love you and aren't really excited, we've just been absurdly, unbelievably busy, truly!)

Yeah, well, my post for July 10 2006 began "I am very tired of Braxton-Hicks contractions [which do not mean you are in labor]" and my post for July 11 2006 began "Happy Birthday [Dillo, 9 days early]."

So. Hoping for no hex on you. On the other hand, it was very clear when I went into labor - actually, with both my kids labor followed cliche and my water broke first.

Oh yes, this is certainly fresh reminder that it could happen _any minute_, but at least I could say that over the evidence of the last couple of hours, it wasn't _that_ minute.
