After heaving the vacuum up and down the stairs last night I was about 48% sure I'd gone into labour. So I went to bed. Because that's the sum total of my pre-birth plans, really: sleep until the pain is too much to sleep through, then get up and start moving around and eventually go to the hospital.
Which is quite a bit more planning than I did with baby #1.
But as you can see from the fact that I'm keeping up with the 'blog post a day for the last month of pregnancy' resolution, I am not in the hospital. I'm still not feeling 'well', but I'm not about to call off work quite yet. I even made pretty good time this morning on my hike in to the church - 45 minutes instead of my usual hour. And since I'm clearly not going to have a baby today, I'm feeling pretty confident that I can make some evening plans - tonight I'm going to get completely and totally caught up with all of the laundry. It's very exciting.
My biggest logistical problem at the moment is food related, not surprisingly: this week's grocery trip will have to be on Wednesday and I don't know whether I should stock up, or just do my usual trip. If I stock up, but then don't go into labour, it's possible that food will just slowly vanish from the pantry making it necessarily for me to stock up again. But if I don't, and I go into labour, then I may be leaving the house without food at all. It's a game of edible Russian roulette - how long can I go without actually jeopardizing our food budget and everyone's hunger...
