Happy Birthday to Me!

If you asked me yesterday, I would have been quite confident that I was going to have Samantha as my birthday present.  I lost mucous plug on Friday and had several good contractions and just felt like I was on the edge.  I slept horribly last night and was up at least 7 times to go to the bathroom and I NEVER do that.  Then I woke up this morning and felt like I did a week ago or at least before they checked me on Wednesday.  I'm just exhausted.  All I 've wanted to do is nap all day and all everyone wants me to do is get up and "walk" or do something "active" to bring on labor.  So JM and did do some cleaning this morning and then we went up to Aunt Joy's to visit with her and Katie and pick up a chocolate pie.  Then my parents called and wanted to have supper with us.  I decided I was going to take a nap first.  I have also came down with a cold.  Several kids have been sick at school this week and I've done well all week to avoid it.  Well, obviously, I didn't do as well as I thought.  I can deal with my sinuses (sp?) but my throat hurting is driving me nuts.  Anyways, when I got up from my nap I did feel better so I decided we could go meet them for supper.

We ate at Paliagi's in Charleston.  It was excellent! We had to stop by Wal-Mart again (we were there last night) to pick batteries for all the baby stuff.  So we walked around with Mom and Dad and Marisa for awhile. 

Now we're home and I'm enjoying the feeling of Vics on the bottoms of my feet with socks on - NOT.  If it works, it will be worth it though!  Samantha is doing her nightly jumping jacks routine which is making my tender girl-parts cringe.  Let's hope things kick in tonight - I'm tired of waiting!
