I was getting very frustrated with all the contractions that were not leading to labor. I spoke to my friend Tami last night, and told her I was planning to hire her husband (an attorney) to evict this baby, because I was fed up with the ongoing war between Frank and baby, and I think he is ready to come out and join us and put me out of my misery. Here is what I received about 7 hours before my water broke:
