"Not going to make it"

This was the exact phrase my OB used yesterday at my check-up...meaning she doesn't think I'm going to make it to my c-section date.

Tuesday night I started having regular contractions (5-8 min. apart) for an hour. I called and consulted with my mom and decided that if they continued to the hour mark I would go ahead and call the OB. Just before I decided to go ahead and call I thought maybe I should lay down to see if that changed anything. It did the trick; I didn't have another contraction for 40 minutes!

Although I can't deny that I was sort of excited by the prospect of being "done" so much sooner than expected, I was mostly panicked by the thought of having the baby now. We have so much to do! I am in the midst of packing our house to move in 10 days or so. THEN I get to start baby projects (washing clothes, sewing bedding, etc.) Needless to say, we're not quite ready for little baby girl to make her appearance yet.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Rodriquez Review. One thing we can guarantee: it shouldn't be boring for quite some time! :)
