This weekend we had planned to attend Lisa's cousin's wedding in Milwaukee. By mid-week, however, it was pretty clear to Lisa that she was too uncomfortable for a lot of time in the car. Plus, she didn't want to be that far away if active labor came along.
So mostly we stayed indoors, since it was warm and sticky out. We did manage to meet Gretchen, Sarah, and David for lunch after Maxwell Street Days, however. And we did make it to the zoo for about 45 minutes of strolling and animal gazing. I wonder if other animals notice when humans are pregnant? There were several pregnant women there along with Lisa. I do know that when my 11th grade English teacher became pregnant (out of 'wedlock', mind you - see shock, horror!), none of the guys in class had the slightest clue, whereas the girls all claimed to have known well before she broke down crying in front of the class. Being the youngest, that was my first moment spent with pregnant women. It left me a little confused, to be sure.
Saturday afternoon, Lisa had contractions in regular intervals for a while, but they faded. On Sunday at 5am, she had a noticeably sharper contraction, so she got up to shower in case they continued, but they did not. She also felt some progress after she ate some of the calzone I made for lunch (I told her the ultimate compliment to the chef would be labor and delivery), but that didn't last either.
Tomorrow we'll go in for a non-stress test. More after that, but first, a photo of Lisa before we went for a dip at the Monona pool this afternoon.
