i told you it would be a werewolf

today, pete told me something that his brother had told him a little while ago. it's not something that i don't believe, but it seems like it could be another old wive's tale. i kind of like it though, because it means that something might happen tonight (if i'm lucky).

apparently, there is some talk about birthing centers being staffed heavily on nights that there is a full moon. something about how women experience contractions, sometimes false labor, or their water actually breaks. you know how they say that the moon's gravitational pull has an effect on the tides? well, it is believed by some that it can affect the fluid in the amniotic sac. jigga what?

i've been busily grabbing last minute items to head out sometime tonight, if that is really the case. i'm not really that superstitious. i'm just anxious and exhausted. and...i don't want to finish my last week of work. i know. so bad.


so if my baby is delivered tonight, i hope that "thriller" is playing in the background.



p.s. i also learned that i need to be more patient in this pregnancy, but it's really hard to considering that sleeping is not an option and my limbs are replicas of doll parts.
