This whole thing is so confusing. I guess my body is doing what it is supposed to but it doesn't seem like what I expected. I guess I expected to have contractions that turned into labor. That the contractions gradually got closer together and more painful and then tada - you knew you were in labor. What I have is contractions that seem close together then stop.. I did have a bunch this morning (like during the night) along with some back pain which is supposedly another sign of progress. I had much less pain as soon as I got up and started moving around and the contractions slowed down... I guess the contractions are doing something, but are spread over days/weeks? I feel like I have more at night. I have had some today during the day but they do not seem to be on any regular schedule or in any increasing anything.
I think the baby may have moved a little lower but I'm not sure of course :) I just feel more awkward than before moving around and such. I also think maybe he is facing the back more but that could be my imagination.
Yesterday, Genevieve and I went to the mall and walked around. It wasn't a fast walk or anything but it felt good to be doing something. Sad that my motivation to get me there was a chik-fil-a cookies'n'cream milkshake :) YUM!
I have lunch plans and then acupuncture and chiropractor and i'm a little worried about going to the appointments in case I do go into labor. But Nicolas just informed me that he and his mom would come get me:) So at least I have something to do today besides 'wait'.
Oh, our test run of the hospital bags and stuff was good, but somehow I missed getting the camera! So, I've corrected that:)
Hey, hope your well. Would you like the my ergo infant insert. Its the old style but it worked well for Emily. Angela is taking the ergo but she doesn't need it and I remember you getting one. Just let me know.
