Tick tick tick tick tick tick....
UPDATED - we're not off to the hospital or anything - my waters haven't broken and as my contractions remain unchanged, there's no point. Either of the two need to occur before we go in, as we're not in labor until one or both of those events happen. So instead we wait and see if we're going to progress or if I just stay at this state for a while (and by "while" it could be days. Or weeks. Weeks will be bad. Won't be months, at least). And in the meantime I wash windows.
As one does.

Ooooohhhhh.... exciting. But I know that the Lemonheads need to stay in there for a few more weeks for everyone's peace of mind, so I'm not going to rush them out (as if I have any say in it) so stop washing windows and put your feet up!
Thinking of you!

Methinks it will be soon...
You lost your plug and now you are washing windows, as one does-if they are in very early labor.
I am (im)patiently waiting, and keeping my fingers crossed that all is well in Chez Helen.
I know those Lemonheads should stay in there a bit more for everyone's piece of mind, but if they are coming then I am holding out for a safe and happy delivery!

Yay! How exciting! The 7ths was my husbands, 19th is my moms, 23rd is my youngest son's birthday, but I think waiting until the 23rd is too long for you all!! Can't wait to meet Nick and Nora! :-)
You are amazing!!

One of my favorite memories of my sister's first pregnancy was her very long *early* labor. The lights went out in the neighborhood, and we walked around the block talking to everyone who had come outside to see what the hell was going on. She made a few of them rather nervous when the contractions would appear.
We lit candles and I rubbed her back until it was clear that the hospital was in order. Punkin Head made her appearance the next day. She just turned 7--and it seems like last week.
Take care of yourself and those Lemonheads. Wash windows if you must, but maybe light a few candles when you lie down to rest.

Ah yes, I think I remember that Monty Python episode...methinks you should not be washing windows though.

Don't know what else to say except that you know I'm thinking of all of you and sending all my love and prayers and best wishes for happy healthy babies and happy, healthy parents. I hope this will be over soon, much as I'd like the Lemonheads to stay in as long as possible.....

I missed out on that (I also missed the breaking of the waters as what I'd put down to a leaky bladder wasn't). I'm hoping that you hang on for a few more days of compressed nerves, bladder trouble and inability to see your feet, you are the best incubator they could have and every day will make a difference.

Remember to take care of yourself. Rest up as much as you can. You can't take care of the babies if you don't take care of yourself.
