went to the doctor yesterday afternoon.... he said i'm maybe a half a centimeter dilated - which yes that's progress, but it's still damn near nothing. we decided that we'll do induction on the 16th at 8:30 am at methodist germantown - i can't drink or eat ANYTHING (no water, no ice, nothing) after midnight the night before... and if i'm still not dilating, then i'll probably be checked into the hospital on the 15th and get cervadil first and then induced the next morning - so.... we'll see. i'm hoping that she'll come on her own though, that's why i'm waiting till a week after my due date before doing induction.
i've taken almost all my stuff home from work. i just have a picture of me and nick, a couple pens, and my baby journal left, and i plan on taking all but the picture of me and nick home today (i have to have a picture of us wherever i am b/c he's my honey bunny and i'm mushy like that).
oh, random thought that proves i'm a retard - nick and i have been together almost 7 years now... and in the beginning when i would make him a sandwich that required a condiment that came from a squeeze bottle, i would squeeze a heart shape of the condiment onto the bread for his sandwiches... yea, i still do that. so he gets hearts of mustard and hearts of ketchup on his sandwiches and burgers. i don't know why i just randomly felt like telling that, but i did, so there it is.
i'm starting to worry about losing this weight after lola's born. i'm also starting to try and guess how much of it is water weight considering how swollen my legs are. i know i can lose it, i can - heck, if i lost 2 lbs a week then within a year i will have lost 104 lbs - so that's cool b/c 2 lbs a week is a doable/feasible/not too far out there goal, but i just dread having to do it, lol. it's ok though. i think nick and i are gonna (excuse me, nick is gonna b/c right now i can't do much of anything, lol) take the dining room table apart and put it in the attic so we can get the treadmill out and leave it in the dining area so i can use it after lola's born and dr. stack says i can exercise again - and then i won't have to roll it around and stuff.
i'm so ready to have this baby. i watch baby shows on tv and it still amazes me that a little life form is going to come out of me and she'll be precious and fabulous and perfect.
ok, i think that may be a contraction... i should walk and see if it makes it go away b/c it's definately lasting more than 30 seconds and it feels like a super bad period cramp. ok it's gone. that sucked.
mom's coming by this saturday to help us clean again, which is super helpful b/c we can do it ourselves, but having another set of hands just makes it go by so much quicker and it gets done better too - so that's awesome.
well, that's it i guess....
