I'm still pregnant. I'm not as irritated as I was last week. I think I was just sick of waiting last week. This week, my parents are in town, and I just have a better outlook in general. I had an appointment on Friday and the midwife informed me that I'm 80% effaced and dilated to 3cm. I know that all of this false labor (another big bout on Saturday night, 4.5-5 min apart for 5-6 hours with pain and another shorter session this morning) is just getting me ready for "the real deal" and I can't change what's going to happen, or when it's going to happen. So, I'm at peace with that.
It's good to have my family in town, even if I don't get to go out and do all the super fun stuff with them. It's just nice to have others around while I sit and wait.
39w even!

I can't imagine how hard it would be to just wait and wait and wait! Sounds like your body is definitely getting closer to being ready!

don't worry...she's just being indecisive. she'll get it together eventually. and until then, hey, you've got a housefull of people catering to your every whim. talk about an opportunity that won't repeat itself!
De-lurking to wish you luck and send you some labor dust! I've been reading your blog for a while but have never commented. :)
