Well, I did it. I made it to 40 weeks. I will say that I kind of got it in my head that i was going to go into labor last night, though. That obviously didn't happen, unless I slept through it.
Since the beginning of the pregnancy, I have been telling everyone that I will probably go 41 weeks and 1 day. Once I started to get so close to my due date, that kind of went out the window. Along with my modesty and grace... hah.
The fact that I have been having prodromal labor since last thursday hasn't helped either. I swear, it is kind of a mean joke to make someone keep thinking this could be it. At first, I was excited that something was going on, but once it kept happening and the fizzing out, I have to say, I wasn't as excited.
Now, I am going to do my best at not reading into any little signals. I will now go out and check the garage and the attic to see if I can find my patience. I'm sure I left it somewhere nearby.
I have my prenatal appointment at 2:30 today. I was secretly hoping I wouldn't end up needing this appointment, but now that it is here... I am happy to go.
UPDATE
I just got back from my appointment, I am right at 2 centimeters dilated, 60-70% effaced and the baby is at 0 station. So, I guess all the prodromal labor has been doing something. I know these numbers don't always meant anything, but they are encouraging that progress is being made. YAY!
and keep an eye on this page, because when things do kick into full gear, Eric is going to keep everyone updated through the blog. It will be something to keep him busy and sane... haha.
here's to a productive week.........
