What's wrong with you? Don't know. If I knew, clearly I would have fixed it.

What happened last week, when you left work and went to the hospital because you had contractions that got consistently stronger and closer together until they were every 4-5 minutes for more than 2 hours? I got there, they checked me, said it was likely early labor and I should go home and be comfortable until things got more intense.

Great plan -- until everything stopped the next morning. It was sort of like when you have hiccups and suddenly they're gone: You feel a little funny, and you wonder what happened to them, and you're skeptical they're gone until a certain amount of time passes.

Why won't they induce you? Because I'm not overdue yet: My due date's Dec. 27. I was pretty much banking on having this guy by Dec. 17, 10 days early, because Sammy was 10 days early, and I figured there's no way Baby No. 2 would be later than Baby No. 1.

OK, lesson learned.

How are you feeling? I suck, and I don't know how much longer I can be pregnant without going mostly crazy. I'm so big I actually feel claustrophobic in my body. I've had irrational near-panic moments when I've been sure that I won't be able to breathe anymore because he's taking up so much room. Everything on me aches, I can sleep for exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes before I have to wake up to roll over or go pee, and I'm so distracted by thinking about the baby that I literally can't get a single task done without wandering off.

HELP!!!!!!!!!! SOS! SOS! How do I do this?
