Almost labor

Okay, the day I've predicted my daughter's entrance to this world is here, but still no little girl. Not that I'm getting impatient, because I'm not. But then again, I've been having regular contractions on a nightly basis for four days now, but these contractions go away after an hour. Take last night. In the middle of a temple session, I start shaking and the contractions started coming around ever 7 minutes or so. Not normal belly-tightening contractions, but these. . . they felt like a snake slithering tightly around my arm, except the sensation was in my belly. Weird, eh? So these keep up for over an hour. Then, I step into my house at 6:00, have one more, and POOF, they're gone. Except at 40 minutes after the hour for the next four or five hours. You can imagine that Jay and I were getting a little worked up for the actual event. It would be nice if my body would decide what's up. I wonder how Karrissa's doing.

Other news on the homefront is scarce. I'm wondering about Holly. I really miss you dear. You can call me and rant any time. And if that boy in Oregon's giving you trouble, I'll beat him up! Also, Elsie, you need to post more. The emails were great, but I need to hear all. I followed your freaking long Switzerland Blog, but you didn't really post much, and that made me mad! Okay, not really. But I'm dying to see pictures and souvenirs and stuff. Mandy, I hope you get offered that barn job because then you could take a pellet gun to work and have something to shoot during down times. Or maybe not, but it sounds fun. I have one I don't use if you want it! Vanessa, I hope you found a cozy cubby, or at least one you can spice up with your taste of deco. Chelsi, I hope married life is fun for you. Here's a picture from your bachelorette party.

To everyone else out there, I love hearing from you! My goal is to post something just before I go to the hospital so you guys can come visit me if a) you want to, and b) you're around. Wish me to pop soon!
