9 months is an inconceivably long time for an impatient control freak.

So at my midwife appointment yesterday I had a bit of a scare. Turns out the achey crampy feeling I've had off and on for about a week has actually been minor contractions. It didn't hurt that much so I had written it off as things expanding and getting squished around, it felt like first-day-of-period cramps that I wouldn't normally even take an Advil for. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it, but yesterday morning I ran my belly into a doorknob really hard and freaked out about that, so when I got the crampy feeling in the afternoon and was going to the midwife anyway I figured I'd mention it. They strapped me onto a monitor for about half an hour, and the baby's heartbeat is totally fine (hopefully he won't come out with a doorknob shaped dent in his head), but I was having regular small contractions. They did a pre-term labor test (which involves an uncomfortable cervix swab) and my midwife called at 9 last night to tell me it was negative (otherwise I would have probably been instructed to head to the hospital). So things are fine, it's probably just the heat getting to me. I've been advised to take it easy and take days off work if I need to, but I just don't get enough days off work to feel like I can take days all willy-nilly, I wanted to save some days so I can have some days off after I go back to work so I can actually hang out with the baby sometimes.



Also, I am totally psyched to see Eclipse this weekend!!

I guess so? They didn't really say that's what it was, but that sounds right to me.
