You're dirty. Take a shower, you'll feel better. Your're sick. Take a shower, you'll feel better. You're tired. Take a shower, you'll feel better. You're pregnant and contracting. Yep! Take a shower, you'll still be pregnant and contracting. The shower was good, but the labor has slowed a little again. We haven't timed the contractions but they seem to be 10-15 minutes apart, and really intense. Nat is a champ, and keeps powering through each one, but she is getting a little discouraged that she hasn't found her "happy place" (oxymoron, I know) during the contractions yet. She is ready for "the tub" but doesn't want to get in to early, so we have a bit of a conundrum. In the meantime the La-Z-Boy seems to be a decent option, so now I have no place to sit. :-) In other news, I just got off the phone with Karen (midwife). Nat feels like it would be good to have her here, to assess the babies position, see how things are going, and give any advice she can...I mean she has done this literally 1000 times. She is on her way over, and it almost feels like that scene from Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers when Gandolf comes back. You know the calvary is on its way and those orcs better run.
more to come soon,
Craig
