i really thought last night was IT! i've had several nights lately when i had contractions all night long, but last night's were different: lower, stronger, and more consistent. but alas, by 6:30 this morning they had subsided. now i just have a lot of pressure "down there" but not much else going on. i do feel like the baby has somehow gotten even lower, so hopefully he's on his way out. but i don't think today's the day.
but it's october! so i know he'll be here soon... there's no way around it now! they estimated his weight at 7lbs, 9oz at the high risk doctor on friday. they weren't any more helpful than the regular OB in giving me an estimated timeframe, though. i guess there's just no real way to do that. i go back to the OB this afternoon, but i don't expect any great insight from her. sigh.
i do hope it's sooner rather than later. the hubby is hoping for wednesday, since he has a lot of work the next couple days and we have an appointment to meet the pediatrician tomorrow evening. but i've told the baby i'm fine with him showing up any time now. we had a wonderful weekend: a little getaway that allowed me to swim in a hotel pool, which is all i've been dreaming about for weeks. it was so nice to have some relaxing time away from home, just the two of us, before this next big stage in our lives. and i think we feel ready now. or as ready as we'll ever be. so bring it on, baby!!!
