Jesse's birth

Abstract:

For three weeks now I have been trying to tell myself "Don'te get excited, these are pre-labour contractions, not the real thing, not yet, not yet..." And this morning I wake feeling different. "I feel different today Tim, maybe you'll get a baby for Father's day." But on the outside, in the practical part of me that has been battling futilely these weeks to stop my excitement, I think "Oh yes, I've said that before". "Oh yes, you've said that before", says Tim. Perhaps I may even be imagining the "show" that I find this morning, it is so slight, hardly a speck. Could it really be what I've been waiting to see? Do I ignore it or begin to get excited... again?
