Haven’t tried it, but I have tried going to the hospital with crazy contractions and them stopping when I got there. That was fun. Not really.
Back to brown sugar- I tried putting mine in the fridge due to a tip, but it got too hard there, so it’s back in the pantry. Now desperately seeking marshmallows! Can’t wait to hear baby news! Will be praying for you!

Wow – that is an exciting day! Hopefully you’ll be packing for your “real” trip soon! (well, not packing… that’s done.)

Sorry about the contractions. I was in early labor with my youngest for about a week before the real thing and that was an induction so I feel your pain. I have never heard of the marshmallow trick, but I'll be trying it. I usually transfer my brown sugar to a sealed ziplock bag once the original bag has been opened. It seems to do the trick. .-= Monica´s last blog ..Mickey Mouse Pancakes =-.

wow, well at least now your bag for the hospital is all packed, right?

I keep waking up with contractions, but they go away when I walk around. I think I might go nuts if I had contractions for 2 hours and then the contractions just stopped. Well, id’ go nuts now, that is. This happened once already, only it was for longer than 2 hours, but I wasn’t full term yet so I WANTED them to stop – they did. Now maybe baby will come closer to the due date in 13 days
Anyways, I’m sorry. That baby will come soon anyways.

I’m going to 2nd (or is 3rd) the bread idea. That’s what I’ve always heard.

Sorry to hear about the contractions. I went through a lot of false contractions when I was pregnant with my daughter. I even wound up at the hospital once just because I was hoping that they would admit me anyway since I was already there. No dice. Fun times. Good luck!

I saw this in the Real Simple magazine, and then forgot to try it! Thanks for the reminder. .-= Jeni´s last blog ..Birthday for the Chicken =-.

never heard of mallows before I have heard of bread but mallows would draw moisture as well so would work .-= angi´s last blog ..How to easily dry out a cell phone =-.

So many times I have started baking only to get to the brown sugar stage to find it as hard as rocks. I am up for trying anything! (maybe if I baked more this wouldn't happen lol) .-= Jen-After the Alter´s last blog ..Learning On Other People’s Kids =-.
