T plus 2 days

Still no baby. No progress towards baby. Kate has walked many miles, baked labor cookies, some fancy tea...nothing. Sam is happy and camped out.

Due Date

Today is D Day...and I'm still very pregnant. Since the long day of contractions on Sunday we have had no action in the labor department. Not even a fake contraction. Nothing. I have appointments sent for next week and the week after so for now we just wait and see.

Mabel is doing her best to help me out: taking long walks with me and she helped me make labor inducing cookies this morning. Basically spicy gingersnaps. We will see...

Today isn't looking likely

Because we live so close to the hospital, Kate went in for a quick check...today isn't looking likely. Not much dilation and she is on her way to Mabel and I for lunch.

Timing contractions

For the past hour or so, Kate has been timing contractions. We're not headed in yet, but we've got our network of help prepared for when we do.

Health update

I had my weekly doctor checkup this week and all is well. My blood pressure was actually lower than it had been of late, which is a good thing. I also haven't been having the Braxton Hicks contractions that were plaguing me at the end of last week. I can't imagine that me being done with work had anything to do with those thing! Never!
Other than that Sam sounds fine. My next appointment is the 16th so we will see what happens this week. Not feeling very "laborish" so only time will tell.

LOUD!!!!!

38 week update

Doctor appointment today went well. My blood pressure is still good, no swelling and Sam is measuring right on track. I'm still not dilated at all either, which is very good as I'd like to finish out this week of work with no baby!
