Shrek feet

That's what I have. No baby and Shrek feet! We are so anxiously awaiting this baby's arrival. Friday/Saturday is our "due date" and even though it's no exact science, it feels like a deadline (we know it's not, it just feels that way).

Update from our appointment on Tuesday. I'm 4 cm dialated. As a matter of fact, my doc told us to go right to the hospital. (Note to self: next baby, find new doctor). I knew I wasn't contracting, so I asked her to monitor me and then we'd decide. Lo and behold, not contracting (at least not substantially). So, we went home and got ready... bags packed, showered, all excited... nothing. Wednesday, nothing. Thursday, nothing. Why did she have to get us so excited?

So, I gave up and finally went grocery shopping. I kept hoping what we had in the house would hold out until Squirt came, but we were running low on the basics. We're now stocked (another note to self: shopping at 40 weeks pregnant means you come home with 2 different cake mixes and frosting - which is really funny because we never make cake!).

I have a list of to-do's for the weekend so I don't get too stir crazy.

But, tomorrow is my last day of work. I decided that work isn't making me any nicer right now! But as far as what I'll do for the next two weeks (if it goes that long) - no idea! Here's to hoping Squirt joins us soon.

Good thing we have sports to distract right now. Joel loves World Cup soccer and I'm beginning to understand and enjoy it too. And tonight, we'll be watching game 7 of the NBA finals.

I will be watching from the comfort of my fitness/birth ball.

  2. Wow, exciting. I have a friend they call a "silent dilator." She gets to 7-8 cm with no pain, and then transition starts. She went to the hospital in an ambulance with her second (her first and third babies weren't so quick, but the first was induced). Anyway, maybe you'll have a painless labor too! If you think something feels "funny," you might want to go check it out. :) Blessings!
