I will keep my updates localized, so it's just easier
Wednessday:
Potential progress?: DEAD tired & tailbone pain (that's new). Same old cramps I am just ignoring. Saw my dermatologist today b/c my
Pyogenic granuloma, AKA pregnancy tumor grew back on my pinky after being removed a couple weeks ago. He gave me some steroid I am not going to take, and I am going for a second opinion. If Jack comes soon, there is a chance it won't get ridiculously, disgustingly huge and I can get it removed again once the hormones are gone. Ugh.
Like I mentioned elsewhere, I will be going swimming tonight, and hopefully getting some sex. We will see what that does. I will take a picture for your amusement, haha
Yesterday I read something that said the baby decides when to come out, so I should talk to him and let him know how much he is wanted or some such stuff. Dustin laughed at me when I told him this, and then went into some diatribe about the holocaust and Nazis. I dunno, I wasn't really listening. At the doctors office he annoyed the crap out of me by going on and ON about not putting synthetic oil in our car, like I am EVER going to take it to Jiffy Lube myself. I was like, "*** are you talking about!?" And I swear, he has preggo brain too. We spent like an hour at the grocery store last night to get 6 things b/c he kept meandering to the pickle isle and saying messed up stuff like, "maybe we should get some pickle juice to ripen your cervix" (b/c a 90 year old crotchety woman had told us to use pickle juice to clean the gunk off the insides of our leaking bathtub faucet). It took me 5 minutes of him talking about pickles to get what he was talking about. And then the other night we were eating spaghetti and meatballs at my mom's, when he kept repeating over and over, "What is everyone's obsession with meatballs?" WTH!?! No one has an obsession with meatballs, except him! He laughed hysterically when we told him this asking *** his problem was, then went on and on about how he doesn't like meatballs. To me, it's like meat sauce in ball form, so what's the difference? Agh!
We are both losing it and Jack isn't even here yet, I think that was my point in all of this
Thursday:
So far the sex, swimming and cleaning my house all day today did nothing but give me even more crotch pain. POOH ON THAT!
I know I still have a week until my due date, but I feel like pregnancy wll never end. Whoever said the last two weeks sucked butt was 10000% CORRECT! UGH!
Friday:
Had sex, lots of nipple twisting, ate super spicy food, had one pretty good contraction. Fell asleep to hypnobabies.
Saturday:
Didn't get any sleep due to contractions all night, including some good ones. But then they petered out after my shower. Bummer. Going to the zoo today hoping that stirs things up. Could use some more nipple twisting too--probably the last time I can get some without squirting Dusitn in the face. At least he is hopeful. He now insists I always sit on a incontinence pad in case my water breaks. Seriously, the man gets his "knowledge" of what that experience is like from the movie Coneheads. Yeah.
Let's hope the full moon Sunday works to my advantage.
Sunday:
Can't remember what happened. Period like cramps followed by nothing all tied together with way too much Wii playing. Come on out Jack!!
Monday:
Made totally awesome preggo dance videos. I should go on Letterman. Look for a post on that!
Tuesday:
Had appt with midwife. Cervix is soft, but she couldn't reach around it to get any other info. She also said I am maybe a fingertip dilated. She tried irritating it to get something going so we will see.
And my little guy is now estimated to be at least 8lbs, or easily 8.5lbs. Ha! I need this dude out now! And if I go to 41 weeks, I risk out of the birth center.
Ok, there is a question in this thread about which video you all want since I took 3
Wednessday:
Tired, bored and emotional. I spent 15 minutes crying in the shower this morning. I cannot stand this anticipation! On the positive side, I had lots of "pressure waves" and cramps all through last night. Of course, they went away. Feeling like your uterus is going to fall out is a good sign, right?
This is getting old and I haven't even reached my due date! How impatient am I!?
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday:
***-ever
Monday:
3-4 days overdue. I am starting to take black cohosh today, and tomorrow I am asking the midwife about induction. Sleeping sucks, being awake sucks, my nipples kill. I am itchy. At this rate Jack will be coming out with an afro.
At least everyone now tells me how cute I am when I step outside, instead of acting like a giant blimp entered the building.
