I must be brief, there's a lot to get
done, but it looks like Casey will be showing up sooner rather than
later. It's all very exciting.
I went up to ReaperCon on Wednesday,
painted with friends in the lobby until 1:30 in the morning, then
woke up, took some classes, painted some more, talked with people,
met new ones, and generally had a fantastic time. Then on the way out
of the Hotel to get dinner on Thursday evening, I got a text from
Jessie that her water may have broken. After some more examination,
she decided to go to the hospital to check, and I turned around and
drove home. Turns out the water was still where it was supposed to
be, but I finished the drive home anyway.
We slept through the night, and most of
this morning, Jess has been having consistent, though irregular
contractions. This isn't labor. Labor is when they come much closer
together and hurt a bit more. This is pre-labor, and contrary to
what I would assume, (based on a doctor visit this morning) this
doesn't *necessarily* mean labor is inevitable. We may still be
waiting until Wednesday to see Casey for the first time. But it is a
strong indicator that we may be on the home stretch, nearly a month
earlier than Tyler got delivered, by the way.
So the current status is still just
wait-and-see. At any moment the contractions could ramp up in
intensity and frequency, and then we'd just head into the Hospital
and get cesarean-ed. But we might also be in for a long wait. Only
time will tell. Current time is 3:00, though, and Jess is taking a
nap. If the pool on whether Casey or Dad gets here first gets
started, put me down for Dad. His flight is on the way. Casey's has
been delayed.
