contractions!!
















Last night i had some of the most painful contractions! they were about 4 1/2 min apart lasting for i think around 3 hours. this is the second time i have had intense contractions but i know that is a good sign. We had our last labor class last night and it was comforting talking to my friend who is in the same situation i am. she is due six days after me but is already effaced and having contractions. we both agree we feel like we are due and should be going into labor any second now and its hard to hear the cold hard truth that realistically we have a few weeks left till our due date. but im glad im not the only one out there having such a tough time in my last trimester. today i couldnt keep any food down until just now so i hope it will stay that way. i got some drinkable yogurt which gave me some energy but thats about all i can do. But you never know how its going to go. last night after the contractions stopped i had a strong craving for eggs and yes at 4:30 in the morning i made four scrammbled eggs. it was yummy but not when it came up this morning.
on a brighter note spencer and i took some pictures in the fall leaves yesterday. i was nervous how that was going to go because i was quite upset at him all day yesterday but getting out and trying to act loving towards eachother actually was great for us and we had a lot of fun taking the pictures. well thats all for now! happy halloween everyone!

on the edge of mental breakdown!

So i went to the doctor today and was checked for dilation....of course i got my hopes up and im pretty upset that i have not dilated any yet. i am 50% effaced and supposedly thats a good sign but i just was hoping i would follow in the footsteps of my sisters pregnancy. i am just so ready to be done! with my pubic arch still KILLING me it hurts to even move. My vicotin has been helping me but it makes me extra loopy. when i lay down my back starts to hurt so then i go to switch sides but that sends a shooting pain in my pube area. its just all around horrible. i did feel contractions for the first time yesterday early early morning though and that is a good sign but it scared me for labor. they were so painful and only lasted for two hours! im just trying to find a positive side to being pregnant and alas there is nothing. i know i know the end will be worth it but i swear im going to choke the next person who tells me that. its not the end that im worried or fed up with its the NOW!!
spencer and i are about to go take some fall pictures. i am going to pop some vic before i go so i can attempt to feel happy and somewhat painfree while we go play in the leaves. i just hope for max's sake he and i can make it through the next few weeks without killing eachother. scratch that without me killing him. i love that boy with all my heart but its hard when your pregnancy 'partner' is about as mature as the fetus you are carrying. okay. happy pill time. peace for now!

waiting and waiting and waiting....

hello! so i decided to join the bloggers world! and for the next few weeks expect some pregnant bitching. I will be 37 weeks along on Thursday and i really hope my doctor will give me news that i have progressed in some way! i am taking raspberry tea leaves and doing other various things to try and help dilation along. I am trying very hard not to get my hopes up but my sister did the same thing and was induced at 38 weeks. that would be amazing!
I have quite the injury in my pubic arch and soas (sp?) muscle which is making it hell to walk but i am getting adjustments at the chiropractor every week to try and make it somewhat better before labor. I am just so ready to be done with pregnancy. It has been a really rough time and I have still not stopped getting morning sickness....or should i say round the clock sickness. But i know that it is all worth it. The doctor gave me some vicotin which has helped but im rather loopy a lot.
My shower was awesome and i got some amazing stuff for my little rockstar! it was fun but i wasnt feeling my best but i loved seeing a lot of people i hadnt seen in a long time. well i am going to go nap! bye bye for now!
