Race Horse

Today is the due date. That doesn't mean much though, especially for a first time mom, where it's common to go over 41 weeks.  So today is no big deal for me.  As the day went on though, I started to feel cramping more frequently.  So I asked my long-distance doula and aunt Amy what that could mean.

Her response:
"Wah hahaha! That is classic early labor, but don't too excited, it could go away. Keep me posted! Even if it's late, call me if you need to."

Alright so no big deal, it may just go away. I decided to inform Chris of my little conversation with Amy... probably a bad idea.

His response:
"Seriously?
......
Seriously????
..........
SERIOUSLY???!!!!??!"


Me: "Ya, but like I said, Amy says it could go away so don't get too excited just yet."

It was like he didn't even hear me... Chris began jumping up and down and clapping, running around the house, telling his whole family that "JULENE IS IN EARLY LABOR!!!"

And then, like a race horse out of the gate, he was off... making sure that the hose we had planned to use would in fact hook up to the sink.

The thing about early labor, though, is it can stop and the start back up again. So this is NOT an official post about me being in labor, because we are not 100% sure.  And by "we" I mean "I". I tried telling Chris that this might not mean anything, and he called me a Debbie Downer.
