So I haven't written in forever, but a lot has been going on since my last blog. I am currently 38 and 1/2 weeks now and am anticipating Taylor's arrival Any day now. I was taken off work due to cramping issues when we arrived back from our trip to Miami. I look back and know that it was all of the traveling and walking and hauling luggage that probably brought on those darn cramping episodes, but the hip pain was unbearable at times, and I was so grateful to be able to take some time before the big due date.
So the nursery is almost complete with a few minor details that need to be attended to. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Having to share the room with my husbands office was not exactly my fantasy idea for a nursery, but it didn't turn out too bad.
So I went to my first Dr apt two weeks ago where I would start seeing him every week. He told me that I was dilated to a 1. Nothing new really. He mentioned stripping my membranes to aid the process and I jumped all over that opportunity. LOL. He said it would hurt for about five seconds. And let me tell you, it was definitely NOT pleasant in any way ,shape, or form. That was a long five seconds. It's now two days past the stripping of the membranes, and nothing. A few strong cramping episodes here and there....some bleeding.....mucous plug falling out....etc, but nothing that would make me think I'm having contractions. So I am to sit and Waite and answer phone calls from eager family members wondering if anything has happened yet. I'm so curious as to when this baby will decide to come out into the world. I'm dieing to see her little face and make sure that everything is okay. I will update as soon as something changes ...Life is going to get pretty chaotic here comin up....
