Thanks!
We had our check up with the OB today. He's happy with everything so far. He says I'm entitled to my contractions.

(I love my doc.)
The cooking is just about ready for tomorrow. We've cut all the meat and have it sitting in marinade. I've got all the salad stuff cut and ready to be tossed. The potatoes are sitting in their oil, salt and pepper. Dip is made for the appetizer. Brown betty is in the oven, now, in one MASSIVE pan and the oatmeal molasses bread is rising on the stove, ready to go in as soon as the brown betty is done. And I could not have done it all without my wonderful husband!
