Let’s start this with saying, it’s a short story. LOL I had no intention of going home. So, it was midnight and I was on the bed on all 4′s with pillows under my stomach. And Pato comes in and said, just pressure or contractions? I said pressure. He started timing and it went from [...]

I’m telling you, this child is holding on for dear life.  My last appointment was on Wed.  I had lost another 1/2 pound and my doctor said, those contractions really burn calories don’t they?  yeah, go to – never mind, this is a family blog.  I’ve lost all of my humor at this point. I’m [...]

I think I’ve tried everything but horseback riding and going on a motorcycle trip to kick these contractions up a notch.  And since I don’t have a motorcycle, motorcycle insurance, and knowing my clumsiness, one of those motorcycle accident attorneys, I should probably stay off the 2 wheeled type of vehicles for now. I did [...]

I’ll probably mention here soon that I got Jordan a video camera for his birthday.  It’s a little generic flip.  Now his computer has very little space.  Is sd flash memory the same as the SD memory cards or more like the flash memory card sticks, or a combination of the 2?  I got him [...]

I am 39 weeks today.  The contractions have still been coming since I last posted.  At my OB appointment yesterday, I was dilated to 3 1/2 and a little over 50% effaced. Without going into detail, I started a little bit of the show yesterday afternoon, and called my OB, because everything I’ve read said [...]

I haven’t blogged in awhile.  Just haven’t felt like it. But I’ve had a lot of false alarms in the contractions department.  A week ago last Wednesday, I started having them every 2 minutes, about 60 seconds in length, had to breathe through them.  Called my doctor, off to the hospital we went.  They started [...]

Can I share TMI here?  I have a tilted cervix.  And if they don’t find a nurse with long fingers, it is EXTREMELY painful to get checked to see how far I am dilated/effaced.  When I was in the hospital, the nurses said I had a cranky uterus.  Well, ya think?  After how often you’ve [...]

Wouldn’t it be nice if it lasted?  It’s been in the high 40′s and 50′s since Thursday.  I’m hoping it will stay that way for a few days.  Get some walking in.  Try to get gravity to do it’s job here.  It would be so nice to start seeing some green grass and Flowering trees [...]
