Was That a Contraction?

On Saturday night, Ben had a gig at a Bar Mitzvah and I was home with My Bologna cooking some Mac & Cheese when I felt a strong cramping sensation in my abdomen and sides. As I bent over to deal with the pain, I suddenly thought, "This could be it!" Rather than check to see what time it was - or how long the sensation was lasting - I ran (walked/ran) to find a bag to pack for the hospital (nope, not packed yet). Then I couldn't remember what I should pack. The only thing I could think of was my sister recommending that I bring a couple of tank tops. Unable to recall if I even had one, I yanked my underwear drawer out of the bureau and dumped all the contents onto the bed. By the time the feelings had subsided, I had confirmed that I did not have any tank tops in my underwear drawer. I also did not have any more of those "contractions" again. When Ben got home late that night, I told him we need to go to Target and buy tank tops - and we did - the next day - and they're now packed. Now, what else will I need??

tank tops are for easy access for breastfeeding - I'll confirm after I try...

I suggest a bathrobe, too.

I'm so excited for you - I'm sending you good thoughts for a quick and smooth delivery.
