I ask because first of all two mamas who aren't even due yet both went into labor! A friend of mine had her baby early this morning after a 45 hour labor - what a champion! The coolest part is that she and her hubby set up a webcam in the hospital so we could watch her on and off throughout labor. When she wasn't comfy having the webcam on, her hubby conferenced with us over IM and kept us up to date with each new piece of information. What this means for me and at least one other mama is that we stayed up until 4am to meet the new arrival :-) We got to see him minutes after birth over the webcam and a more beautiful baby never existed! I'm so happy for their family as this was a re-marriage and a tubal reversal for Mama.

Another friend who is having a homebirth is in some active labor right now and has also kindly kept me posted over IM. Gotta love technology!!! Anyway, when it rains it pours.

And if that wasn't proof enough - this morning in broad daylight at 9:30 am a coyote ran across our lake in the backyard. We live in one of those newer subdivisions where there aren't any trees yet and our lake is really really small - if the kids go fast enough they can sled clear across it to the other side. The houses all surround the lake below (think old rock quarries) so when anything is on the lake, they are in broad completely exposed daylight. We've seen deer by the water in the early morning hours but seeing a coyote run across the entire lake was a site to behold.

There is definitely something weird going on......
