To sit around and wait for baby girl to come out that is!
Another check up last week Friday revealed that I have made progress since the previous week and both my doctor an I thought for sure I'd see her in the hospital this past weekend. Well.... that was big flop!
The previous Monday I had gone in to be triaged as I had been feeling SUPER nauseas for over 24 hours, very lethargic and hadn't felt baby move as much as normal. Here's hoping possibly early labor, but no, I wasn't anywhere! They gave me an anti nausea med and sent me home to rest. I stayed home the following day just in case it was a stomach bug however I still think it was REALLY early stages of labor. Any and all contractions I have had since have caused the same 'nausea'. I returned to work the rest of the week and left feeling like I would not be back. Baby had dropped way low and I was starting to have some contractions here and there *yay*. At my appointment on Friday I was dilated to almost a 3, but baby hadn't quite dropped enough yet and my 'water' was still intact *boo!* I did everything I could think of over the weekend; walked, ate spicy food, sat on an exercise ball and just plain stayed active. Sunday morning I woke at 4am or so (after only 3 hours sleep) and thought this was it! My back was in excruciating pain, I was having contractions every 7-8 minutes (although not unbearable yet) and I also was sure I was leaking, thinking my water must have broke in my sleep so I called the nurse line. They sent me to triage where once again I was hooked up and checked and I did not even get a yellow light *sigh* Contractions had slowed to 13 min apart and even though was up to a full 3 at this point, my water had in fact not broken *boo again!* So back home I go where I decided to take it easy and rest hoping that relaxing rather than pushing it might be the key.
Well.....here I am day 2 at work this week and still don't feel any "active" labor. I figure coming to work is the best thing I can do for my sanity right now and I can get caught up and worry less while I am off. I have another check up tomorrow for 38 weeks, PLEASE say a prayer that we have made progress (AND that I go into labor any day but Saturday!)
In other news, Tyler is getting uber excited and quite impatient of when his "sissy" will be here! He cannot WAIT to meet her and give her the stuffy he made for her. We've talked a lot about how he may wake up to a Grandparent or Aunt/Uncle as we may have to go to the hospital in the night. He seems to understand and keeps asking when he can have a sleep over with one of them :)
FINALLY, some progress has been made in the basement. It has been a long time coming, and for a cranky preggo, I think I have been very patient...... Well, my hubby is quite awesome (don't tell him I said that though - lol!) he managed to redo all the plumbing and gas piping in the basement in just TWO days! It took him all day and night and didn't even stop for lunch. It's quite amazing the difference in water you get from 60 year-old copper piping to brand new PVC - lol. It will be a process I am sure, but looking forward to the next step!
