:o)

I'm feeling happier today. Got more things out of the big bedroom - it's almost clean enough to have the new bed delivered - FINALLY! Wahoo!

I've been having more Braxton Hicks contractions today. They come when I make ANY exertion, and I've even had one or two while I've been sitting and resting.

I've spoken with each of my siblings today - they all called to see how things are going - and my parents called too, though I haven't spoken with them yet (yes, I didn't answer because I'm avoiding my dad; see yesterday's post - but then it turned out to be Mom who was calling - I could have handled talking with her).

Slipshod's family is starting to leave messages and call to check up on me, too. His dad's family is having a get-together on Sunday before his dad & stepmom move to Mexico, and his grandma is insisting that I have no excuse not to be there, even if I'm in labor. Crazy people! ha ha
