No baby yet :laughs: Although he’s not technically due until Sunday. I’m being a little impatient. Especially as at the most recent doctor’s appointment the only progress that seems to have happened is that I lost a pound and am now 243.
He has officially dropped as my belly is measuring 41 instead of 43, but no further dilation or effacement, and me getting more and more uncomfortable. Considering I’d been having slightly high blood pressure, and we had another trip to the E.R. at 4 a.m. on Easter Sunday.
So, we’ve been following doctor’s pointers and he seems to have dropped a bit more, last night I was having some pretty strong contractions and seem to have lost the mucous plug again…?? or fully…and I’ve been having some cramps this morning again, but no strong contractions since about 5 a.m.

Both Mum and Jess are coming over on the weekend to keep an eye on me as D is on duty, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
I’ve been spending the morning writing out checks for all the bills that are coming due and scheduling payments, writing thank you notes and trying to walk around the apartment a bit so that hopefully we can keep things moving. The ladies on PunkyMoms have been giving me some other pointers for things to do which we checked with the doctor and hospital, like drink raspberry tea and things like that. The only thing not recommended all round is castor oil.

I’m going to take a break from things this afternoon and see if I can get the pictures from the various baby showers up on the photo album before I go. I realized I fixed them up but never coded the pages, whoops.

Also, Mum sent me this link that I really wanted to share: Birthday Calculator. Very nifty.
