Just so you know...this is officially the LONGEST I have ever been pregnant. I am 39 weeks today and I know, I know, I'm not even late yet...but with Cameron and Tucker I was finished by now and home. This sucks. I have had contractions for over a week. Hard ones. Not these pansy-ass Braxton-Hicks fake contractions that women compain about. These are the real deal...BUT....every time I think about going to the hospital, BAM! They peeter out to nothing and I am left sore and exhausted. Apparantly this kid absolutely does NOT want to come out, because not only is he still in there, at my last appointment on Thursday, he had actually moved back up further than he was the previous week. Yup, he hears what goes on in this crazy house, and he actually grabs on to my uterus and climbs BACKWARDS for dear life. Poor guy. I don't know how to convince him that he'll adjust to the chaos and it's not nearly as bad as what it probably sounds like from in there. And quite honestly, this uterus is about to close down. So, today I plan to do the following:
Shower
Balance the checkbook
Bounce on an exercise ball while watching Free HBO Weekend on TV
Bounce some more
Bounce
Bounce
Bounce
And time contractions
And hopefully that dang ball will push him back down where he has to atleast try to see daylight. But, as I type, both kids are pretending to be cows and Mooing around. They sound demented, a little possesed, and quite honestly, if I had a uterus to crawl into, I would have by now. I really can't blame him for wanting to stay.
Oh mama, I feel you! Hayden was 3 days OVER! Love the cartoon. If it were possible to forget it, that's when it would happen, but I don't see that happening. But it will be soon. Not soon enough by any means, but you KNOW it can't possibly be longer than 2 weeks. Hang in there!!
