Happy Term Day to me.
Bubbles is a tease. I woke up Saturday morning to although mild, very regular contractions- every 8 minutes on the dot. lasted for 3 hours, then stopped. Went most of the day without, then had the same thing happen in the evening. Same story Sunday.
Makes me appreciate the way Cookies chose to come into the world. She showed her personality even in the way she was born. "Hello, I want to come out, so I am doing it today- and there is nothing you can do to stop me!" I woke up the morning of her due date with regular contractions that kept getting stronger, showered, finished packing, started to watch a movie and my water broke. She announced that she was coming. She didn't ask. I love that about her. Driven already and she isn't even 2 yet. Makes my life a little harder now- but I think if I don't manage to screw her up too badly she will make a nice adult. Driven with a tender heart. She rocks.
Back to Bubbles... This teasing makes me wonder what he is going to be like. A little more timid perhaps? Even more of a clown that his sister? Will I ever sleep again? At least I have a great weight loss system-- they sleep in my room with me. Cookies RUNS- fast for even a toddler and has kept me on my toes since she started walking. In the past, I would march around with her, acting like we were in a parade, being different animals. Belly is too big to march now. Thank God for Girl-- she is an awesome parent- Cookies loves her and would follow her to the moon if it meant she could pretend to be a monkey a little longer. I wonder if Bubbles will run as fast as Hailey. Makes me wish I had arms that stretched like the mom in the Incredibles. That way, when they run in separate directions- I could just stretch out and grab them...
Bum told me not to go into labor till Friday. He begs me to go all weekend- then tells me last night not to go till at least Friday. Thanks Dude- I'll put in an order. Anyone else want me to go into labor when it is convenient for them? Post your availability now, I'll do my best to accommodate your needs. He just wants the rest of his days off to be for the week of Christmas. I understand that-- but don't make me feel like a freaking egg timer.
Ah the stupid crap that bugs me these days. I'll just keep putting off packing my hospital bag. Maybe that will keep him in a little longer.

Happy Term Day!!!
Im sorry Bubbles is a tease. He'll come on his own time, in his own way.
I do remember that feeling.. John had a couple days off and wanted Gabe to only come on his days off.
Happy term day, K!
You need a haiku. We'll see if we can fix that before the end of the day ;)
