I originally started this blog in order to share my thoughts about everything. However, I apparently have fewer thoughts than I supposed so, it has turned into a basic journal of what our family is up to these days.

Very Frusterating
I have decided that it is extremely frustrating to have false labor when you are one week overdue. It like teasing someone with something that they really want, and then snatching it away again. "Oh, you want this? Well TOO BAD!" Last night I woke up at 3:30am with strong strong contractions. I then had intermittent contractions (ranging from 10 to 5 minutes apart) until 5:30am, at which point I fell asleep again. As I was lying in bed last night I kept telling myself that I wasn't Really going into labor. However, one cannot help but hope, so I got up and finished packing my suitcase, just in case. I had a doctor's appointment this morning at 9:30, so I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to go to that. But, as I had figured, not really labor. I, therefore, attended my appointment, where I learned I was a little over three centimeters dilated. I will go in tomorrow for an ultrasound, to see how the baby is and measure fluids and such, and then on Monday (if the baby still has not come) I will have another appointment to schedule my induction. I am assuming this would mean that I wouldn't actually be induced until Tuesday of next week, at the earliest. So, I am praying that the baby comes before then, or before my appointment tomorrow, as I am tired of doctor's appointments. That is where things stand right now but thankfully, no matter what, this baby will be here within the week.
