week 38 or 40

I keep posting both weeks so I can either feel ahead of the game or completely overdue, depending on how big a pity party I'm throwing myself on any given day.... I'm going on day 4 of at home misery. I'm still getting random spurts of contractions, ridiculous waves of exhaustion and constant back pain/cramping.  Perfect pregnancy right up until it's time to give birth, and then she doesn't want to come out. Son of a.  Jolynn has retreated home for the time being and Jamison Aunt Jam is now up here waiting, rubbing my feet, fetching me snacks and keeping me from pulling my hair out. Come on Adelie, we are all w a i t i n g on 

Y O U.
