Check Lists

A month ago I made a "Projects to Finish" check-list:

I'm happy to say I finished almost everything on my full page list. Hence, all the projects post.

Then when the Primary Program was all said and done and that was over I figured I could use this week to work on my house.

So I made a full page sheet of deep spring cleaning things I could do. I'm pretty much almost done with that. Some of the things I'm doing now I really don't care if I get done. At my appointment on Tuesday I was at a 2 and 50%.

Wednesday night I woke up at 1:20 with major CONTRACTIONS. I made my necessary phone calls (The first to my sister to tell her she would be working for me and another to Chad's mom to prepare to come over.) I remembered this is exactly how I went into labor with Carter: 2 nights before, contractions every few minutes...but only really painful every 10 minutes. I thought...I'll wait it out another good 30 minutes. Besides, I needed to pack a hospital bag.

And would you believe it: the contractions slowly went away when I got up to pack my bag. So that was that. I had little ones all night. So when my alarm went off at 5:45am for work I called my sister and told her I guess she didn't need to work for me after all.

I went to work at 6:30am. My eyes burned like crazy from being up all night. By 9:00 I started having contractions again. Every 10 minutes I had contractions while I cleaned 3 people's teeth.

Then I got in the car to come home...and NOTHING! They went away again. Chad and I took a long stroll on the beach to see if it would help. NOTHING.

So here I sit...with ridiculous false alarms. Chad's getting frustrated. Today, I volunteered in Alexis' classroom and cleaned my house again. Chad cleaned the outside of our windows, cleaned the BBQ and the patio. Now, he's out cleaning our car. I think he's nesting now purely out of frustration.

I only get contractions when I'm still. That is so wrong. So, we sit and wait for this baby who is due TODAY! Doesn't look like it's happening. At least I have an induction date set for next Tuesday night. I could just do without these false alarms.
