ok, this is just a vent...my husband is freaking out! I lost my mucus plug tonight. No big deal. I was 8 months prego with my son when I lost it and he was born only 9 days early. I am 8 1/2 months prego now so I don't see what the big deal is. He keeps txting me from work asking if I am ok. He told me not to pick up after the kids tonight and that he would do it when he gets home in the morning. Now granted, I appreciate that he wants to help, but I can handle it. I told him that if I needed help with anything I would ask. I am a big girl, I can tie my own shoes and everything:) He also contacted my in-laws back in Michigan to alert them. See they are coming out on October 6th to stay for a month to help when the new baby is born because we recently moved to Missouri and we don't have any family here and we are just starting to make friends with a few people. So now my mother in law who by the way had 7 children and 8 pregnancies is all over me freaking out as well! I promised all of them that if anything happened, ie my water breaks or something I would of course let them all know. I go to the doctor's next week but they all want me to try to get in tomorrow. I just saw her a week ago and she said I was high and tight. This was all the same as it happened with my son. I feel fine, I don't see what all the fuss is about. I have had two children, I know what it feels like when I go into labor and I am not having anything happen right now. I just wish they would all stop nagging me. I know they are doing it because they love me, and I am glad that they care so much, but good god! In only a few hours I have been nagged enough to last a lifetime! I plan to call my doctor to alert her to the situation and if she feels I need to come in to be seen then I will but otherwise I am just going to keep going as I have been. If my family had it their way I would be on bed rest...no thanks. I can't even take naps because I can't just lay around. I don't like to be inactive. Now I don't do much, I am just talking about taking care of the kids and cleaning so don't harp on me too:) I just wish they could trust my judgement on this.

I don't remember ever losing my plug. I'm sure I did, just can't remember back that far. Old age is such a wonderful thing ;0). Well, I hope they leave you alone and let you have this child in peace. Where are you gonna have the baby at? St. Mary's or Centerpoint? Or are you gonna trek across town to one of those hospitals closer to K.C.?
