i've been sitting waiting wishing...............
yep, the words of jack johnson, so so true. today is Baby's due date. but of course, my baby doesn't want to be a part of the 5% of babies that actually arrives on their due date. got a lot of phone calls and emails today checkin in on me. i feel like i'm the only person who's gone to their due date or something! (even though i know this isn't true).
so anyways, here's an update
feeling very pms-y today. apparently this is "prelabor." great. so when will real labor start? no one can tell me that. tomorrow evening i have a doctor appointment, and i'm going to get my membranes swept or stripped. basically, the doctor will use his fingers to "swept" my bags of water off of the uterine lining. if baby is ready, then labor should start in 12 - 24 hours. not supposed to be comfortable, but is any part of pregnancy or labor? i'm hoping i go into labor tonight, otherwise i REALLY hope that the dr visit goes well. because i really really really really really don't want to get induced!!!!!
anyways, so thats where i am. and i'm HUGE. and today was our valentines day party, so i was running around. yeah, excercise hasn't seemed to induce labor for me. i think Baby may be stubborn.......
and dont' worry, steve will be emailing you all when baby has arrived!!!!
