playing catch up!

Last night I thought I was in labor, I kind of freaked. I was like, shit, changed my mind, "can't do this, can't be in that kind of pain again" freaked. I'm probably dilating more! eeks! It's happening folks, its starting, I give it few days but honestly who really knows when, right? I've been exhausted, my system keeps clearing itself out, the back labor has begun despite there are no continuous contractions and my entire pelvis feels battered and bruised. There's too much change happening down there, daily. Go figure, days away from having a baby, woman freaks with anxiety. It's just that everything gets so physically intense it's kind of hard to keep it relatively together. All well wishes will be greatly appreciated.

and for those who love TMI updates here you go:
I had an OB check last Wednesday (the 19th) it went fine until she had fingers in my cervix. gah- dies of pain.

I am stationed at -3 (which is the first line up top)


I am 50% Effaced http://www.americanpregnancy.org/labornbirth/effacement.html


and I am dilated to 2


in other news!
I had tacos for dinner and they were grand! Some avocados too! and a cherry coke, which made me very happy despite the back pain. Tomorrow I will try to go to the chiropractor so we'll see what that brings on, the back pain is just making me batty with emotions I cannot explain. If I could manage to scrub the tub upstairs I would be soaking in some Epsom salt, I should just try to do that, I am at that point, let the Epsom soaks begin, god he's coming, I can feel it...

  1. My birthday is Friday the 28th! Let's have him then!? But I don't think you are going to last that long. Sorry to say but I think this Thanksgiving will be in the hospital darling! I give you 2 days. Tuesday, your water breaks. Come on Baby Jake!

  2. funny you should say that because that's what I told J tonight as he called from work to check on me.
    Gah, I dunno, totally stressed about having to leave Cyler behind (we've never been apart) and to have to do it on a holiday. Who knows. I'm just trying not to think about it too much. when it happens it happens right.
    just totally freaked.

  5. I hated leaving Tyler too. I had a horrible preview of it in April when my water broke early with Jack. I was in the hospital for a week without my baby. It was torture. He waited to walk for the first time til I got home though! I would have been a disaster if I had missed that!
