So... I am discovering the virtue of patience! I wasn't having a very hard time waiting for this baby, until I thought it was coming and it turned out to be nothing but a very convincing dress rehearsal! I was in the hospital for twelve of fifteen hours of contractions, to no avail. I'm still closed tight as a tick. *sigh*

At least I feel more prepared about it now... I think maybe that is why God let me have the false labour. Now I know that whatever comes my way I'll handle it just fine. I know that Travis is going to be an incredible support person, and I know that h...e... double hockey sticks and high water won't be able to keep my mom away. It'll be good. I'll do ok.
