Hi. This will be quick and to the point, as I have things to do. My check-up this morning was rather uneventful. Ten days ago I was measuring at 3 centimeters dilated, and today I measured at about 3.5 and am 50% effaced. I asked the doctor about there being different opinions about what "3 centimeters" might mean between the three of the doctors in the practice and he seemed to think that there wasn't much difference, maybe half a centimeter. He thinks I am definitely at 3 if not more. He also could feel the head, so our little guy is right there...just waiting, I guess.
I thought I might be going last night. I got some severe back pain that felt exactly like the pain I had with BabyJuJu during labor. It was HURTFUL. I packed a bag and got some last minute things done, got the kids into bed, and then bam-the feeling had passed. It's been gone since then. Still holding out hope for Sunday or Monday.
Mr.JuJu leaves this afternoon to NY for work. Don't bother stalking me, my mother-in-law is coming to stay with us for the weekend and she is a pilates expert. She'll pilate-chop your ass.
Guess what he is bringing home with him? Guess!!
Ok, I'll tell you.
Wait...
Wait for it....
He is bringing our new minivan!! It has that fancy Stow and Go crap! I'm actually excited to own a van! Clearly I've lost my mind.
Next appt. will be next Thursday, if I am still pregnant. We need to check out my progress before Mr.JuJu leaves for Virginia. Unfortunately it will be a trip that he is flying to, and won't be able to just hop in a car and drive back, should I go into labor...Of course I will go that night. Of course.
Have a wonderful weekend...I'll pop in for updates.
ooh...a van...
