Uh, yeah, the mucus plug I *thought* I lost earlier this week? Uh, no. Because I lost it this morning, and OMG. MUCUS PLUG is RIGHT. Whoa. YAY!

I mean, losing the plug doesn’t mean delivery is imminent, but it does mean that my cervix is just that more favorable should I need to be induced later this week, you know? Plus, MUCUS PLUG. Of course, husband in bed and wife inbathroom going "ohhhhh HHAHAHAHAHA, Oh my god ewwww HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" at 7 am leads to husband going "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" Hee.

We both slept like shit last night, and I had even taken a Tylenol & benadryl (DIY Tylenol PM) to help me sleep and stuff, but by about 4:30, we were both tossing and turning and having fuzzy conversations. The cat was wedged in between us (sigh… we’re suckers) and we finally got up (MUCUS PLUG!) and are now having coffee.  What else?

Oh, the cat. The cat has been weird with me since yesterday, which makes me just. . . wonder if she senses something. She’s DAVE’s cat, I’m more of a tolerable nuisance and only relaly sought after when it’s time for her breakfast or something, but yesterday she followed me everywhere. Curled up at the end of the couch and just stared at me, followed me upstairs and got inbed with me when I took my nap, even rolled up against me when Dave and I were watching tv on the couch — she loves being betweenus, but she NEVER presses herself against me, always Dave. Even today, Dave thinks she’s looking at me with an eyebrow raised. Anyone’s cats freak out as a sign of labor?

So, birthdays that work for us:

Today, May 13:  Eventually, Dave  would get to plan a Friday the 13th themed birthday party for his kid.
Tomorrow, May 14: The 2yr anniversary of buying our house (yay!), and also, Mother’s Day, which would be especially great because I started to m/c on Mother’s Day last year. Also, we haven’t gotten our moms gifts. We were sorta counting on a grandkid being a good one.
Monday May 15: May 15 doesn’t really work for us. Sure, it’s national Chocolate Chip Day, but that’s about IT.
Tuesday, May 16: National Sea Monkey Day! EXCELLENT choice for the child of a sea monkey cultivator extraordinaire, like Dave.
Wednesday May 17: Not favorable, the Ayatollah Khomeini AND Bob Saget share this birthday. EEEK.
Thursday, May 18: Tina Fey’s birthday! Highly acceptable.

Also, yesterday my mom and sister stopped in on their way to Auburn (today is Super Saturday for graduations), and we went to lunch, where, for the VERY FIRST TIME a total stranger asked when I was due.  When I said "Oh, today," the waitress’ eyes bugged out of her head. "But I just got back frommy doctor, and trust me, the rugs are safe in here."  She then went and told the other servers and host staff, who were all young enough to think that due dates are definitive, and they were all bug-eyed too. hee.  I hope someone asks me soon, and I can say "yesterday" or something.
