39 Weeks, Days 3 & 4

February 12, 2009

After yesterday’s midwife appointment, I spent the entire evening cramping up.  Like menstrual cramps, combined with OMFG THERE IS A HEAD IN MY COOCHIE, combined with feeling like I weighed a trillion pounds and my poor hips simply could not deal with it.  And I had some serious spotting going on as well — not [...]

Cervix says HERE’S WHAT UP

February 11, 2009

Just a quick update — I have company, can’t type tons.
Just had my midwife visit.  Since Monday, my cervix has moved forward, and I’m between 3-4 cm dilated.  Stretch & sweep was easy peasy.
I’m anticipating a Valentine’s Day baby now…

What up, cervix?

February 11, 2009

Went to bed at 12:30am.  Got out at 1:10, because I can’t fall asleep.  There’s no good reason for this really — sure, the baby’s moving, but nothing more than usual — and I’m kind of annoyed.  I’m trying to stock up on sleep! (This is the part where someone tells me insomnia is a [...]

No stretchin’, no sweepin’

February 9, 2009

At this afternoon’s appointment, my midwife determined that Maia’s head had dropped a bit more — she’s now at +1, 1 cm above my pelvic spines, as opposed to last week’s +2, so this is good — but, with that and the fact that she’s switched which side her back is on and repositioned means [...]

Week 39

February 8, 2009

Last night I got all pissy & moody and declined going out on a date with my husband.  I’m sure this’ll become a decision I regret, but really nothing outside of the house sounded fun, so we ended up plopped on the couch flipping aimlessly through one stupid television program or another.
My mother-in-law, MJ, will [...]

Mostly Random Blah-Blah’ing

February 7, 2009

No one warned me how much this part of the pregnancy sucks.  Waiting on Baby is not enjoyable!  I just want her here, or at least to know that I’m in the process of bringing her here.  Right now I know that in a vague way, as in she’ll be here sometime this month, but [...]

My productive day

February 6, 2009

Things I have done today:
- Walked up and down three flights of stairs a few times
- Washed nearly all of the dishes
- Laid down for a nap, woke up 20 minutes later, continued walking around while reading a magazine
- Scrubbed the bathroom door (it had some fingerprint smudges on the outside, why?)
- Searched, unsuccessfully but [...]

I’m not the only one

February 6, 2009

All week long family has been telling me “not yet! don’t have the baby yet!  wait til (this day, that day)!”
Well, Chris’ mom is arriving tonight.  My mom is arriving whenever the heck we need her too, weather willing (and there shouldn’t be any snowstorms showing up in the next week).  The bassinet arrives tomorrow, [...]

blah

February 6, 2009

Chris and I woke up at the same time, in different rooms, this morning.
Him because his alarm went off, me because I feel like shit.  My head aches, my eyes hurt, and I’m having those vaguely sickening menstrual-esque cramps — you know, the unrelenting soreness that lets you know your period’s about to start (and [...]

Possibly TMI

February 5, 2009

5pm update: No more goop, not even much cramping.  Sigh.  I’m so antsy!
I woke up this morning and didn’t want to get out of a bed. I was just too damned comfortable and warm. A few minutes later, Chris called from work — fortunately we had remembered to put the phone on the nightstand, so [...]
