\"18<\/a>Another terribly boring day with not really anything exciting to share.<\/p>\n

I feel almost like I’m leading you on…..really…I have my babies early……honest I do<\/em>……and now………NOTHING!<\/p>\n

I know that I’m still early, but for some reason I had really hoped that this baby would come early….like……really early……not too early that it wasn’t safe, but early enough that I wouldn’t be sitting here bored to tears, but with not enough energy to really go and do anything.<\/p>\n

I did have my big exciting NST (non-stress test) today, and there is absolutely nothing exciting to report from that except that apparently I have to be admitted to the hospital EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I. GO. IN……<\/p>\n

I have to go through admitting, and pick a number, wait in line, and re-register, get my paperwork, and THEN go up to Labour and Delivery, and pee in the cup, and get on the bed, and get belted onto the fetal heart monitor and the contraction monitor, and sit there for half an hour and listen to my baby’s heartbeat (this is probably the best part<\/em>) and then click a button every time I feel a movement.<\/p>\n

The reason that my Dr. ordered this test was to make me feel better, but really, the only thing that’s going to make me feel better is if I HAVE THE BABY.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t help that some poor woman was being admitted to be induced, and I’m actually further along as far as dilation and stuff goes.\u00c2\u00a0 SUCKS!<\/p>\n

Well, I still have to pick up a box of chocolates to give to the nurses for when I go in, and then really and truly – I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO DO.<\/p>\n

I also have to wait until MONDAY to get to go in ans see my Dr for my next visit.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s going to a convention on Thur, Fri and Sat, and won’t be back on until Monday.<\/p>\n

How will I ever survive 6 more days?\u00c2\u00a0 I know I’m whining, and really and honestly – I feel good physically.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not complaining too much especially when there are those I know that have gone WAY PAST their due dates, and I’m pretty certain that I won’t have to.<\/p>\n

The hardest part of this for me is the mental and emotional stuff.\u00c2\u00a0 I feel like I’ve been waiting to be pregnant, pregnant and waiting to give birth\u00c2\u00a0for so long (it’s been over 3 years) and I’m so close to the end, and to have the finish line in view, and to not be there yet feels like torture.\u00c2\u00a0 Especially when you factor in all of the other losses, and the emotional upset that loss of innocence and naivety brings with it.<\/p>\n

I know it will happen soon, but some how soon just isn’t soon enough!\u00c2\u00a0 Any more guesses for the baby pool?\u00c2\u00a0 If your date has already passed, you are free to guess again………<\/p>\n

Just remember that it’s the person closest to…without actually going over the date and time……weight is just for fun…….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
