On Friday night the contractions that have been coming and going for
the past few weeks started coming more frequently and with increasing
intensity. I managed to sleep through the night (if you call getting up
to pee 60 times between midnight and 10 "sleeping through the night")
and Kurt and I made it to a couple's prenatal yoga class on Saturday.
The contractions continued throughout the day without regularity and got
more and more painful. We had tickets to see Jacques Pepin give a
cooking presentation at The Valley Arts Center in Northridge at 8pm. I
knew we were taking a gamble when we bought the tickets considering it
was the night before I was actually due. But I keep being told I will
go past my due date by ten days most likely, so I figured we'd be safe.
And Pepin is one of Kurt's heroes, so we wanted to at least make an
attempt. My parents' flight got in around 6pm, so we had just enough
time to drop my car off with them and head up to Northridge.On the way to Northridge my good friend, Annie called to check in. She has two kids. She wanted to know how I was doing. "Well," I said, "if I wasn't pregnant, I'd be about to have the most epic period of my life." "Dude, that's labor," said she. She urged me to download a contraction timer app (yes, there's an app for that), to Google the nearest hospital, you know, just in case, and to keep her posted. I did what she asked, even though I was sure I was imagining the whole thing. If I really were in labor it would mean I'd most likely be delivering on my actual due date, something that only happens 5% of the time.
Today marks the beginning of my 36th week. Four more to go. My pregnancy book suggests I take some
time in these last few weeks to pamper myself. "In a few weeks you
won't have any time to devote to yourself for the next 18 years. Your
entire life will be consumed and ruined by this helpless little human
and you will want to kill yourself. So, get a hair cut! Get a
pedicure! Get a massage! Go now while you still can, you fool!" - See more at: http://www.daisyeagan.com/search/label/broadway-baby-blog#sthash.pEG1q5BK.dpuf

That's right. You still have time to enjoy yourself while the 'little human' hasn't come out yet. While I was pregnant with my first child, I made a list of the things I needed to accomplish before she comes out. I went to my favorite spa to get a mani-pedi, got sugar-waxed, had my hair trimmed and dyed. I knew I'll only get a chance to do it again after five four years.
