Watching cement harden...

I woke up with contractions this morning. Duration: short. Frequency: not so frequent. They've been coming and going all day, these low grade hope raisers. I went to pick up some Labor Boost (a lotion containing Black Cohosh) this afternoon which I've been slathering on my belly every 2 hours. We'll see what happens, if anything. In the meantime, hubby and I went for a 1.5 hour walk (see pic below) during which I had several contractions but none that were what I would call 'labor'. When we got home, I had some juice, counted kicks, and now I'm just sitting here watching the cement harden in our new sidewalk slabs. Tomorrow, I plan to watch the grass grow and if anyone is painting around here, perhaps I'll waddle over and watch it dry!

That's just teasing. Surely it's going to stop mucking around and start properly soon?

That's a really great shot, I like the angle. As for cement drying and grass growing, you could also boil some water or paint some walls - watching water boil and paint dry are highly fascinating;-)

PS. Thx for the very thoughtful card.
