Homeschooling in Illinois

Baby Time?

Posted in Baby Stuff
I woke up this morning with contractions about 20 minutes apart (and some bloody show, if you're interested).  And that's where I am still at. 
Today would be a good day to have the baby.  Our car is in the shop so we need my mom to be home.  She still has to work all next week.  Plus, my sister is off work today, so she could come watch the kids.  There are no games or practices.  There is the hit-a-thon.  D's is at 4 something and they way things look, he will be there.  But even if he's not, it's not the end of the world.  So how long is this supposed to take?  With my first baby, 10 years ago, I was in labor for about 29 hours or so.  I was kinda hoping this would be a liiiiitle faster.  With pitocin, I think my longest labor was 8 hours.  But the most frustrating thing right now is the fact that I'm not in labor, labor.  Ya know?  Is this going to last for days?  For the next week until I get induced on Sat?  That would be insane!   And then of course there is the fear of what if this is real labor?  What if this is all my body needs and then suddenly I'm gonna be like, uh, oh, gotta push!  Yeah, yeah, I'm a nut.  You'd think by number 5 I'd have this whole thing figured out.  Oh well. 
Please pray the pace picks up soon.  Thanks.

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
