Thanks so much for the responses everyone!

Nickers - I don't think my body is really ready yet either, but I sure am! I guess it's this stage of things that makes us look forward to labour, instead of running screaming the other way. Who in their right mind would be eagerly anticipating hours of pain!?! As far as being able to reach - my belly's not too big, really, so I can get around it, and I do have pretty big hands.

Yogababy - nope, not a midwife. Someday maybe. Was a nursing student, and loved labour and delivery! (Quit after getting married - we moved away, then babies, etc, etc. Maybe when the kids are grown up?) Thanks for the info though, good to know!

Alan - thanks! It's good to know that this doesn't necessarily mean I've got weeks and weeks to wait. Although I'd still love to see some indicator that I'm getting close! Hope all is well for you, BTW.

Trish - you better not be getting close, hun! Don't want that bub popping out this early!

Celtic - that's enough to put one off strawberry donuts! And to think, the pooper scooper ruined your breakfast.

Anyways, sounds like I might as well just keep out of there, and wait for contractions to tell me when this baby is coming.
