Yes, I'm still here.
Let's do a little review of the weekend starting with Friday,
I went to my OB visit and baby looks great in fact they estimated he was 7 pounds 13 ounces and I was told by the midwife that the ultra tech is usually dead on!
Not bad for measure 4 weeks behind.
While I was there I had her check me to see if I dialated (I never dilate until I go into labor) just because I had contractions the previous weekend and thought maybe it did something. Well turns out I was indeed dialated to a 3.
For a lot of women out there that doesn't mean anything but for me I was thinking WOW I'm going to have this baby! Well, obviously that was not to be the case. I continued to have contractions that night and throughout the weekend of course it was "false labor" and pretty depressing.
Fast forward to Monday and my sweet mother called me and offered some heart felt advise.
"Maybe what you need is to change your focus."
Yes, I needed to stop getting down about not having the baby and have some fun with the kiddies.
So, the kids and I took off for Costco and ate out (something we don't do) and then did a little shopping while we were there.
It felt so good. So we're trying to have fun each day now despite the contractions that hurt but come and go.
(excuse the pictures they were taken with the iphone)
We're off to have some fun at the dentist!
