Day: August 3, 2007

Okay!  So I’m back!  Back from the hospital, and then from an aweful lot of running around.

Here’s the scoop.  My water’s have broken.  YAAAAAHHHHHH!  But nothing’s happening, yet!  BOOOOOOO!

I got up and took a shower this morning, and when I got out and got dressed, and started wandering around the house, I noticed that things seemed a bit damper than what was normal.

It kept happening, and I wondered if my water’s might have broken, BUT never having had my water’s break before until almost the very end…..this has been a very strange experience.

I did go for the non-stress test, and cried my way through that.  The sound was turned off at the beginning of the test, and I couldn’t hear the baby’s heartbeat.  It wasn’t until I asked the nurse if the baby was still alive that I started to cry and couldn’t stop.

She was very nice and reassuring.  They also did some test where they put some fluid onto a piece of paper, and if it reacts, then it is amniotic fluid…..Well, there was enough fluid for the nurse the believe me that, YES!  My Water’s have broken.

STILL NOTHING HAPPENING, but if nothing happens overnight, then I have to be at the hospital at 7:30am tomorrow to get this show on the road.

My momma is coming out right now to just be here.  I need her this time around.  Not necessarily in the hospital, but here and now.

We’ve done our running around, and now we’re (Jon’s) making dinner – such a good man.  and then to waste the evening……so much fun.

I wonder if I’ll be able to sleep tonight or if something will start to happen.  This is kind of a messy experience…..one that I’m not particularly upset that I’ve never experienced before……I’m quite happy that things are moving, but could have done without the feeling of peeing myself everytine I move.  That’s a good time let me tell you.

I’ll keep you updated.

Alrighty, 8 days to go until my Estimated Due Date.

I’m frustrated with that picture.  My hair actually looks way better today than the picture does it justice.  Yes, I’m that shallow that I’m worrying about my hair in a picture when I’ve shown you WAY worse shots of me.

I’m not really worried, juts annoyed.  You know when you walk out of the bathroom, and you’re like, “I look so amazing today.  My hair actually co-operated, and I’m feeling good about myself.”

Well, that was me a few minutes ago.  Then I got Jon to take this picture, and well, I’m too tired to get him to take another one, and this was the best of the 6 that he did take.  Yup!  I made him take 6 different shots.  Gotta get the best one, eh?  Oh well!  There’s always tomorrow!  I did take a shower today, and my hair always looks better on the second day. 

Do you find that?  I do!  Why is it that it needs to be a little dirty in order to really hold well?  Maybe that’s just me….okay….I’m rambling.

As you can tell….I’ve got nothing for ya!

I do have ANOTHER non-stress test at 2pm this afternoon at the hospital, and so I’ll update you on that one , later or maybe tomorrow.

We did go for a walk yesterday.  I HATE walking, and I may just give up now.  I have what I wonder if they are contractions, ’cause they don’t hurt, but then again maybe it’s just the baby pushing and stretching…..but they don’t keep on after I quit walking, and seeing as I hate it anyway…..I might just give up.

Gotta love a quitter!

Well, see ya on the flip side.  I can’t believe that I’ll be 39 weeks tomorrow.  That’s a record for me.  I’m a bit nervous that I’ve got a 15 pounder inside of me who is 26 inches in length, and with a HUGE head!  WAAAAAAA!

I really want(ed) a normal sized baby.  I can still dream, can’t I?
