Well, the Mrs. is having a hell of a time with Pre-labor. She’s had Braxton Hicks contractions (minor, small tightenings of the uterus) since 18 weeks. Most people don’t get them until a few weeks before actual birth. However, the past 2 weeks have seen something more severe than the regular BH type contractions. She’s had full blown, gotta sit down, damn this hurts, ouch my back! type contractions. The problem is they never get regular and they usually start strong and then peter out.
Needless to say, I’ve been on pins and needles for a while. She’s totally exhausted which isn’t a good thing to be when the real one comes along. I’m a nervous wreck and having a hell of a time concentrating at work. Plus we’re both anxious to see the baby, so that doesn’t help.
She’s not really due until the 22nd, but of course it’s natural that the parents want the baby to come early. With Kari really suffering with the pre-labor, I can’t see her lasting another week.
Prayers are appreciated, but we’d accept cash too.
