I'm having contractions ...

... theyre close but short.

This may be it but I don't want to get anyone excited yet so Im just sitting out in the living room trying to time them by myself. its 2:26 - or maybe that means its 1:26 with the time change - who knows.

According to the 'Contraction Master' at contractionmaster.com, they're about 3.5 minutes apart but only 30 seconds each. crap. Do I wake David? Call my mom? I've been timing them for about an hour I think.

I'll write again later if they go away - otherwise you can assume I'm in LABOR.

aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - im scared. i hope i can do this.

Happy Halloween!!

and I'm still as round as a flippen jack-o-lantern :P

She has 14 more hours to be an Otober baby ... and counting.

Making Use of My New Spare Time ...

I was working on business cards a week or so ago while on maternity leave for fabulous jewelry designer; Amy C. {strawberryjamdesigns.blogspot.com}

Check out the finished cards! 

Dr Appt Update ...

Had a Dr appt today - she checked my amniotic fluid to make sure it wasn't low, did a Non-Stress Test and checked my cervix.

The amniotic fluid was ok, NST looked good and my cervix was the same - no more dilation or anything new. She told me to check into the hospital on Monday, Nov. 3rd around noon if I do not deliver before then. I can't believe it. I HATE thinking that I will have to do that ... I really want her to just come on her own without a chance to think about it so much. May sound odd but I'd so much rather have my husband drive me to the hospital screaming than walk up the Labor & Delivery without any pains at all. My palms are sweating just thinking about it ... :-/ 

So - long story short -  I have 5 days to coax her out of there and avoid the induction. Times a tickin' ...

40 and a HALF weeks pregnant ...

I think shes trying to kick her way through right now as I type ...

Im tempted to  stick a flash light up you know where to show her the way.

Come to the Light Baby Brooklyn - to the LIGHT!!!
