Sorry it's been a while, my friends. I've been super busy getting ready for the little one. I think I'm ready to relax now and let nature take it's course. My appointment last Monday with Dr. A went very well. He did the normal checks with the baby's heart rate and movement and he was satisfied even though she didn't make an A+. She has been moving around a lot more in the evenings than she does during the day. I hope she isn't going to have her nights and days confused. Dr. A also did another cervix check and I swear he was trying to remove my tonsils. I thought about telling him that if he wanted to take my tonsils he would have an easier reach from my throat! I actually yelled a little bit as he shoved his hand/arm into my Hoo hoo so deep I was worried it may never come out. :-O !! OUCH! After the torture was over, he told me I was only 1 centimeter dilated and 0% effaced. What a waste of his effort and my pain.
Friday evening we had a little excitement. I started having regular 3:00 minute contractions around 7:30 and around 8:30 I decided to take a shower to see if it would slow things down or if they were indications of false labor. By 9:00 they had slowed down and completely stopped by 10:00pm. I guess my body is gearing up for the final act. The Super Full Moon we had this weekend definitely had an effect on my contractions but failed to break my water. I was a little disappointed but also happy that it was false labor contractions because I really have my heart set on having an April baby. Diamonds and Daisies are a perfect symbol of a little beauty's birth month. Plus, diamonds will look really nice on my mother's ring! LOL
I'll check back in after my doc's appointment tomorrow. I hope the contractions on Friday and over the weekend have caused my cervix to ripen a bit. Only two more weeks to go!
