still pregnant.... I really thought this little man would be born in March-  one more day to try out that theory. I have an appt tomorrow at 4:45 to check to see how I've progressed.

How about that game?

I consider myself to have a high pain tolerance, but man, I am hurting so much.  I can only assume that the ligaments have relaxed so much that my hips can barely support my weight because every step is horrible.  And if I'm lying down and going to a standing position, it's like a physically can't move because the pain is so bad.

needless to say, I would like to go into labor.  I'll be 39 weeks on Sunday, and I just thought this baby would come early at 38 weeks and 4 days like Wyatt did.  so every hour that passes is a little bit heart breaking.

about three hours after I wrote the post yesterday, I started having contractions.  Every 5 to 10 minutes for about 5 hours.  I texted Rebecca to get her to come to Lexington, and arranged for Brandon to come over to spend the night with the boys.

Anyways, after a shower and some walking, the contractions pretty much went away, but I was worried that I was already dilated a bunch and they would start back up.  So, at 9:30 we headed to the hospital.  I  still had a bunch of contractions while I was there, but pretty much got kicked out at midnight for not progressing.

Needless to say, I was completely exhausted by the time I got home, and my stomach remained as hard as a rock until around 10ma this morning.  Between that and my cold, I was pretty much on the verge of tears.... so tired, so hopeless... even if it is false labor, it still sucks and is horribly exhausting but worse because there really is not end point.

Tomorrow I have a doctor's apt, so I'll see if I've changed at all.  Have had a few contractions this evening, but nothing to go to the hospital for.

we are getting a minivan tomorrow.  Jeremy is sad--- he is going to miss his Honda fit.  at least he will be able to visit because it looks like his sister is going to be buying it.

Nothing new at the Ultrasound on Thursday, still just 1.5cm dilated.  the baby was measure 6 pounds something, normal size which is good because the doctor didn't even mention induction once.  I'm pretty sure this baby will be big anyway because those readings are never right anyways.

not feeling very good.  Have a sinus headache and just really tired.  no contractions for the past few days.  When they come, I think that will be it.  it was strange leaving work yesterday, because I basically left with notes every where with the intention of not coming back.  But who knows, maybe it will be another three weeks.

Things left on my to do list... wash the bed sheets in the guest room after tomorrow.  I'm going to get some more naps in, but then it needs to be clean for whoever has to come over and stay with the boys.

Clean the house.  there is clutter every where.

buy a minivan.  Jeremy has been worrying silly about this, and he has tried out several SUVS trying to find something that works, but they are all a joke.  they are not meant for a family with carseats, or even a family with halfway grown kids.  I think Jeremy has resolved on the minivan, now it is just down to if we are going to buy used or new..


get Catherine a baby sprinkle gift. get directions to the hospital.

wash the breast pump stuff again (thanks boys for playing with them daily).

get the boys presents for BBFs birthday.

find my gray nursing tank top. I had it last week, and now it's gone.

shave my legs. maybe.

find out about boarding the dogs.

watch some basketball.

Wyatt is in bed screaming at the top of his lungs "let it go! Let it go! Let it go!" I'm starting to think Jeremy has played the frozen sound track a few too many times.

He also has started saying " I don't know" and throwing his hands up in exasperation when you ask a question. Very cute.

Seriously, if the guy that is going to cover for me is sitting at my desk tomorrow morning, we are going to have some words. I haven't left yet and I am not above peeing on every surface in my office to tell him to back the freak off.

I thought after being off of facebook after 2 months, it would be all epic when I got back on, with 1000s of alerts.  not so much.

Almost 37 weeks

 

Had my 36.5 week check up today.  Tested for group B strep, and turned in my birth plan.  Only change is that I specifically requested to not have a hep lock unless I or the baby was having problems.  and she said that was fine.  That damn heplock when Liam was born was horrible, and I found out they kept it in much longer than they should have--- it should have come out that night, rather than being kept in for the entire two days right up until I was discharged.

He is very much head down and very low.  I was only 1.5cm.

On march 20th, I get another Ultrasound to check his size.

Welcome to March.  hurts to walk, no clothes fit.  wake up in the middle of the night thinking of having a baby in my arms, nursing, and wanting to go back to sleep but can't. 

Jeremy went to Fat Tuesday with folks from my work and I stayed home with the boys.  They had Arby's for dinner and I got Taco Bell and we had our own fat Tuesday.
