Good morning! I didn’t mean to fool anyone into thinking that I was in labour, but last night I slept poorly and posting wasn’t as usual. At this point, I don’t have much else to say besides the birth of my baby girl.
Let’s talk about the fact that you are 4 days late. I really believed last night was it. Yesterday, I visited the chiropractor. He told me that everything was loose and ready to go. Then, I ran 3 miles in the gym. This got me a lot of funny looks. I took a nap and then went to the store to buy eggplant parmesan. We went to bed at 10, and I woke at 11:40pm with a really crampy and uncomfortable feeling. My excitement skyrocketed. I fell back to sleep, but felt the same every 1.5-2 hour from that point on. I moved onto the couch at 3:45am, eager to see these cramps become the real thing. I began timing my contractions using my phone’s app.
I fell asleep.
This morning I felt ok.
In all seriousness, I’m still feeling hopeful. Hailey never showed me signs like these. With a full moon on Wednesday night, and a storm system moving in Thursday, I hope some of the old wives’ tales are true. Today I will also be buying a pineapple because, why not? It’s tasty, even if it doesn’t work.
To get a real update I left the document. I’m around 70% effaced, and 2-3cm dilatation. Baby feels more engaged too.
Now, I’m waiting to get my car oil changed. Now that I’ve done everything else, I feel as though this is all I need to do.
