Get Used To Disappointment

At 11:30 this morning, after a walk that left me nauseous, light-headed, and shaky, the contractions stopped. Completely.

So I've been sleeping pretty much all day, trying to recover from last night's whatever-fest. I called the midwife around 2 to tell her what's up and she said she was very surprised. she said that last night when she got home from our house she slept on the couch and didn't even change out of her scrubs, she was that sure that we would be calling her again. So at least we weren't the only ones fooled, right?

It's almost like I went to a farm to look at an animal. It looks like a horse, it sounds like a horse, it feels like a horse, but when I go to buy the horse I find out it's really just a big duck. Exhausted after the ordeal, confused about what happened, and a little disappointed that I didn't get the horse, I sit and wonder. And wait.

What a stubborn little rascal you've got there. :) I really enjoy all the details and updates, even if they go back and forth. You're so good to keep us posted on the latest developments. I almost feel like I'm there!
