Was kinda hoping the baby might show today

Aug 29th is my best friend Ellen’s birthday.  I forgot to call her, but then, she did the same to me on MY birthday, so oh well… i’ll try to remember to send her an email as soon as I’m done with this entry.  Add to that fact, MY birthday is on June 29th, so the 29th has some significance to me.  However, it’s 10 p.m., and while I’m having contractions, which are somewhat painful (think mild menstrual cramps, which is NOT usually what I get, but that’s what it feels like) they’re still irregular, for the most part (I’m not counting, like I probably should be!)  Anyway, with only 2 hours left of today, she’s not coming, there’s no way.  I have a dr’s appointment in the morning, which I suspect they’ll start checking to see if I’m dialating and all that fun stuff… my next appt is not tii the 11th, which is actually almost 2 weeks from tomorrow, so that seems a little "not good" but with the holiday in there, what’re you gonna do?  So the next date of significance is Sept 2nd, Sydni’s birthday… and that can go on with or without me… so I SUPPOSE she could be born that day, so long as SOMEONE gets photos of Syd’s birthday for me.  But that’ll put a kink if the plans for mom and dad to come out, which I’m not really sure how they’re planning to do that yet, however, I do know that mom got her leave of absense… not sure if I’d mentioned that part, and dad is currently laid off, and not sure if his plant is going to reopen or not… he’s thinking not.  He’ll need to go back to work pretty soon, somewhere. 

Well, I’m going to leave this a little short today.  I need to finish sweeping the stairs, and go to the bathroom (not necessarily in that order, lol!)
