T minus 3 days

Here we go, into my 2nd week off work and still no baby :( Frustrating! I did have quite a few Braxton Hicks contractions yesterday I think, brought on by a marathon of cleaning house, grocery shopping, and casserole making. They continued for awhile after I quit and went to bed, but never progressed beyond a vague crampy feeling or tightness. And then when I woke up today, nothing. I don't feel very good today though. Eric and I went on a walk this morning and I had to cut it short I was just not feeling up to it. It was a little colder than normal today so that was part of it, but I also thought I was getting a headache.

So, I'm going to take it easy today and see what happens. If something doesn't happen soon I am starting to think I would agree to being induced if Dr. H suggests it on Wed at our appointment. The thought is a little scary to me, but not as scary as having the PUPPs come back. Today was my last dose of the miracle cure they gave me and I would not be surprised at all if it crept back up in a couple of days. Again, selfish, I know... but... what if I ended up being a WEEK late?? It took less than a week for the PUPPs to go from a few annoying pink bumps to my own personal nightmare. I can't do it again. I can't, I'm sorry. So listen up, Seth: Mommy needs you to come on your own, and quick. I know you want to.

Praying! I'm still predicting today. Especially now that you said you weren't feeling up to the walk this morning. I swear, every time someone says they don't feel normal ... labor is close. Well, that being said ... I just wrote a whole post last night about not feeling normal and I'm only 33 weeks so maybe that theory is false. Who knows (besides the Big Guy)? Praying Seth is gearing up for his big entrance very soon! I can't wait!

I think I must be as excited as you are right now. I get a little nervous flutter in my belly every time I remember how close you are. Hurry up little boy!
