I Think I've Lost My Glow

Cliffs: I'm so ready to be done.

Yesterday I took my mom to the airport. I guess people assumed that I would be flying, because while pushing the luggage cart to the back of the snaking check-in line, I overheard comments that translate literally to “Our Lady!” “C*@k!” “It’s impossible!” and “How could she?!”

This morning Entropy woke up early crying. I squatted down by his bed to comfort him, and when I got up my pajamas were wet. Not dripping wet, but suddenly and noticeably wet. This happened to me one night at the end of my last pregnancy (in the States), but since it wasn’t a dramatic leak and I wasn’t feeling any contractions, I got some sleep and went to the hospital the next morning. My delay earned me a big scolding from the nurses and an immediate induction. So when it occurred again this morning, I took a shower and started making arrangements to go to the hospital.

After a couple hours, three tests done by annoyed personnel, and a few hundred reais, we were sent back home. No one brought up induction, but pretty much everyone made me feel like an idiot for even being there.

OH... I'm do sorry! :-( I guess it looks like this wasn't it, then (I hope not). Marcia started leaking a bit, but then an hour or so later, it was A LOT, so it was really her water. I hope it'll be over (or, rather, just starting) soon.
