Val, Congrats..

I may need your help at some point ;)

False labor is nothing more than the muscles around your abdomen contracting as in labor, however, it does not result in birth. It is more like you are getting ready for the real thing to happen.

But I am not so sure this is false, just early labor. Can last for a week or so, especially with twins.

Thank you Krs, hopefully you have developed a jello addiction hanging out with us!

Hugs J honey, you ARE partly to blame for this, you know!

J_9 · Aug 4, 2006, 04:05 AM

Well, you know I do take blame where blame is due! :p

Ooooooooooooookay, now I am really confused...
What is the difference between regular labor and early (real?) labor?
Wait, this is too early in the morning for this... I need coffee... I need bath... runs off laughing!

All a matter of pregnancy Mom. It all ends up in the delivery room!!

I need another cup of coffee if you guys are going to be so technical before the sun comes up.

Krs · Aug 4, 2006, 04:24 AM

How do you like your coffee tal?

talaniman · Aug 4, 2006, 04:27 AM

Black,strong, and hot! Have a cup! You'll be ready for anything after that second cup!

Krs · Aug 4, 2006, 04:31 AM

With sugar too, need sweet coffee.

Hi Val. Just noticed the upgrade. Congratulations! :)

For all they stopped labor and sent me home... (contractions were ten minutes apart) They're back again this morning at three am. I am going to try and hold out for another week... lol. I said I would try. Thanks for the well wishes everyone... It was prelabor/false labor just my body gearing up to go I guess... Well enjoy breakfast everyone I think I'll go lay down again. I'll check in around lunch.

valinors_sorrow · Aug 4, 2006, 06:12 AM

So good to hear you are all all right... rest, yesss lots of that, I would think?

K_3 · Aug 4, 2006, 06:13 AM

Myth, good luck. I am new to this forum, but I have twins girls. They are grown now, but I loved every minute of it. One was 6lbs and the other 5lbs 5oz at birth. Get your rest now, as you will really need it.
I think I will have some coffee, just black, thank you.

I did love shopping with them, and my older daughter. We would go to a different city and laugh as we tried on different outfits, some quite bazaar, and have lunch and enjoy the day.

I know what you mean, shopping with my children was delightful. We would have such fun and end it with late lunch and laughter.:)

Jaime and I are with you babe. Lots and lots of positive thoughts being sent your way from across the ocean.

Love, Chery

Got to go, don't have much time, just thought I'd stop in at my favorite lounge.

J_9 · Aug 4, 2006, 03:01 PM

Well, just got back from ANOTHER shopping trip for school supplies. Boy am I whipped!!

I would not have gone except for the fact that everything is tax free this weekend. And BOY the crowds!!

talaniman · Aug 4, 2006, 03:58 PM

We have the same thing in Texas, shop till you drop and get up and shop some more, who could resist no taxes AND reduced prices. Excuse me while I BLOW my budget!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhh! I ain't in Tenn.

J_9 · Aug 4, 2006, 04:05 PM

Well, I was a good girl. I stuck to the budget and the school supply list. My kids get new clothes constantly so they really did not need anything new.

But what blew the budget is that Johnny starts big boy school on Monday and we have never had to but supplies for him before.

He was so excited to get his first packpack (backpack) and munchbox. It was WAY too cute!!

Oh, yeah, the packpack and munchbox are Spiderman! What parent could resist.
