Hi Everyone!
Since Thursday I've been having fun with contractions. Real ones. Not mamby-pamby Toni Braxon-Hicks contractions, we're talking feels-like-I'm-being-split-open ones. I feel so badly for Zach. He hasn't had a decent night's sleep since Wednesday. I realize we're never going to sleep again after she comes out, but I'd like for at least one of us to sleep through the night leading up to her arrival!
Anyway, we've been 15 minutes apart for 4 hours on three different occasions, but they always slip back in to wonky intervals after that. I honestly thought Sat night/Sun morning we were about to go when I had 3 that were 10 minutes apart, but no dice. I blame watching re-runs of Arrested Development. I think that's what slows them down. I'm switching to Always Sunny for the rest of this pregnancy!
So, yes, I've cried "wolf!" and now people are pretty disappointed to see me at work today. Hey - YOU'RE disappointed? How do you think I feel?? I'm the one still at work, still having contractions (and contractions at work are FUN! let me tell you!) AND she's still inside of me. However, I think she's moved down because I can now balance cups on my stomach and use a straw with no hands. I took a picture, and I hope to have it posted on here soon!
Bessie! We just want to meet you!! Even Sophie Dog paces your room at night.
Good news, not only did she obey my command and NOT come out on Valentine's Day (and I couldn't be happier for her. I've spared her a lifetime of corny romantic comedies and wearing pink sports jerseys) but Sunday was the start of the Lunar New Year - THE YEAR OF THE TIGER! Roar!
Well, the due date is Wednesday, the 17th, and if we hang in, then we're being induced on the 23rd. I have no idea if next week's post will be SHE'S HERE! or SHE'LL BE HERE TUESDAY but either way, we're so excited!! Zach likes to get up close to my belly and say, "BABY! COME OUT!"
