Today I have resolved to just let things be. I notice the contractions still, but I'm just ignoring them. When they are real I won't be able to ignore them anymore. It does make the waiting tough having false alarms, but I've just resolved to enjoy this week and let go of any expectations or plans. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week. For now I'm enjoying a peaceful snowy Monday at home.

Snowy Days and Mondays
No baby yet. . . Yesterday we really thought she was coming. On Saturday I started having more and more contractions. At 10 p.m. I was having one every 8-9 minutes. At 4 a.m. I woke up for awhile and they were every 6-7 minutes. During church the next afternoon they were about every 4 minutes. The only problem was that the pain wasn't really bad. They definitely got more crampy and uncomfortable, but still tolerable. I've never wanted to be in pain so much in my life. I stopped paying attention to them and we went to dinner. They never got worse and I went to bed feeling a little sad and disappointed. I had a surprisingly good night of sleep.

I was thinking about you the other day and wondering if you'd had the baby. Those last few days are the worst.... sorry. Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteThe last week or so was the hardest for me. Always guessing when the baby was going to come, but before you know it she'll be here and your life will never be the same! good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I'm definitely enjoying all the free time I have right now. Can't believe how close I am to being a mom. I think I've convinced my brain I still have another week to go, so I'll just be surprised if she comes sooner.
