I do not want to be awake, even at 4:20. Especially since I’m not holding. I wonder if TeenHer is. Would it be rude to wake her and ask?

I woke up, believing that I hadn’t yet been to sleep, itching all over. And maybe having a contraction that hurt? Am I sure I didn’t get drunk BEFORE I went to bed? Anyway. Since there’s something in my memory about the social worker being a nurse, and me laboring in the old methodist parsonage and feeling badly that some Hott doctor was woken up to come check on me there, I’m gonna say I was sleeping at least for a while. The constant flipping in bed and itching ALL over (did I mention I was itching? ALL OVER?) convinced me for a moment that I hadn’t been asleep and that this must mean the baby is coming! RIght now!

And so I got up, and then the baby was not moving and I felt very guilty for calling him a Tumor. He’s moving now, don’t freak out. A shower seems to have temporarily relieved some of the itching. And so far, there’s no evidence that a baby is coming right now, or ever. So then, may I go to sleep please?

I should mention that the regular contractions have almost stopped. How long will this last? Is it weird that I feel guilty for that?
