So...

I'm still pregnant but I got some good news yesterday at my doctor's appointment. I am/was 4 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Now she said that my cervix is currently shaped like a donut and at the end of the cervix I am 4cm but up by Camden's head I am only 1 cm dilated...but with a good contraction or my water breaking I would be a full 4 cm in no time flat.

So I went to Walmart after my appointment and got a few last minute things and then came home and picked up D from the babysitters. Then nothing really exciting started happening until around 6:30ish...I started getting some contractions and they were starting to get uncomfortable and I was pacing and trying not to think about them. Bob was in St. Jo yesterday at this point and not scheduled to return for another 2 and a half hours...so I was trying to stay calm. I ended up calling the hospital around 7 to see what I should do and they suggested sitting down, drinking water and relaxing for another half hour to see if the contractions would slow down or go away, but said since I was alone that I could come in for peace of mind if I wished.

Well, I decided to stay home and relax b/c I really didn't want to have to drag my neighbors out to drive me if I could avoid it and wait for Bob. So relaxing did the trick b/c I am obviously still here...lol! Slept horrible b/c I had to get up to pee so much and then I would constantly think about it...so I am tired today also. I have had a few contractions this morning but nothing unbearable. So anyway, that's my story and I am not sure what today will bring...Bob is going to Jeff City for another appointment so who knows...he leaves Sedalia around 1pm for that appointment so I figure around 2pm is when I will go into labor when he is the furthest away! Grrrrr!

Anyway...how is your day going?
