  • Yup I'm still here.


    I feel obliged to log on every day and say that.  Or everyone will assume this baby came out.


    I keep telling you guys I'm ALWAYS gonna be pregnant.  *sniggers*


    Its a gorgeous and freezing cold day today.   And we are going to go out and do some burning.   All the kids are bundled up in snow suits/coats/hats.    And exploring the ice in the puddles.    


    We have some old wood from a nasty old shed that we had kept thinking we would use as kindling.    Well as we haven't had a wood stove in two years we'd rather like to reclaim the space its in.    And clear out under neath the trees that our kids tree fort will go.  (some day)


    Oh I keep forgetting to blog this.  I met this cute little old lady at the restaurant on Wednesday.   She asked when I was due etc.   And when I said this was the first time I was late she asked what I'd had before.  I said both girls.   She smiled and said.  "Ahhh, that's the problem his outdoor plumbing is hung up somewhere."


    Cackles madly.


    It could well be.  Sounds more plausible then anything else I've heard. 


    So the *plan*   If the baby isn't here by Tuesday which will be 41 weeks.  I will go have a nst (non-stress-test)   Provided everything is fine we will continue to wait.     If the baby still hasn't come by Friday, then we will go in and induce the baby.   This is my choice.   I could wait until the Tuesday after.    I somehow don't see that happening. 


    I would like my body back...even if a bit battered and sore.   I'd like to start recovering and taking my life back.   And I'd like to snuggle a newborn who isn't smooshing all the nerves down by my hips. 


    I'm currently dialated a generous 1 centimeter.    The midwife says almost two but "I'm feeling stingy."    And I basically haven't had contractions in a week.   (go figure)


    She really stripped my membranes again last night.    And nothing happened.    Although she almost broke my water (accidentally)   "Not that you'ld mind."  she said with a grin on her face.  (I wouldn't have )


    So we wait.


    and wait


    and wait.


    But at least I'm sane again today.   Haven't the weepys or the screamys.   And have a gorgeous sunny day.

  • Hmmm...  Does this mean I get to wait all week to find out what you had?   I'll have to call Jenny to find out while we're gone. hehehe

  • I hope the baby comes soon!

  • Oh, poor thing!

    It's good to know that the little person is doing well even if he's enjoying staying inside too long.

    Glad you are keeping us up to date!

  • praying for you my friend!:heartbeat:
