One False Start

What a weekend!

Most of the day Friday through Saturday early morning I enjoyed what is often refered to as "false labor" which basically equates to most of the fun and none of the rewards....

I knew it wasn't the real deal, because although the contractions were 3-10 minutes aprart, lasting 30-60 seconds, they weren't very painful, I could still go for a gentle walk and talk with Elizabeth, and I think I made a semblance of happy conversation over a wonderful dinner and a movie ("Australia") with Levi and Sarah Friday night.

Exhausted, I slept very well late Saturday morning and even took a nap Saturday afternoon before going for a walk with Jake. Saturday night I was still having some contractions off and on and we decided to employ ol' Murphy's law and went to see the movie"Duplicity"- sitting right in the middle of the theater. (Good movie, by the way) No luck.

Sunday was a day for catching up on housework and going for yet another walk, enjoying an easy dinner and an early bedtime.

So, for all of you who voted that the baby would come this week, I think you have a good shot at being right. We are making "progress" but don't have any more certainty than we did before....
