Still Here....Still Pregnant

Just a quick update, I'm still here and still pregnant...no Brody yet.

I started having what I call "real" contractions last night and whoa....these suckers hurt. I mean they take over my whole body and I can't do anything but concentrate on breathing and even sometimes that's hard. I had 2 last night and then I had 2 in the middle of the night around 2:30 that woke me up from a deep sleep. Forget the whole no drugs thing I will NEED that epidural! After those 2 I had pretty strong ones but they weren't the same. I just keep trying to visualize my cervix dilating in hopes that it is!

I was going to call the doc first thing this morning before my 9am Lovenox shot to get her to check me but my contractions tappered off around 8:00 so I held off on the call. Held my breath and took my shot, so now I cannot go into labor until 9pm when it would be closer to getting the epidural and the Lovenox would be out of my system.

I have a hair appointment at 1:00, need to look pretty for my son's arrival, she will probably get all the foil in and then my water will break! :) After that I plan on coming home and doing some laundry and things around the house just in case she sends me to the hospital at tomorrow's appointment. It's also a BEAUTIFUL day outside so I will probably walk around the block a few times.

Last night my sister in law treated us to a great dinner at Gloria's. She swore it would put me into labor as it did her friend a few years ago...but no such luck thus far. But thanks again Marcy for dinner! So as of right now I've tried PF Chang's spicy chicken and Mexican food...I really think I need Leah's hot sauce to do the trick :)

Still contracting, still pregnant, still waiting :)
Have a great one!
