Within The Week

Well, we are "those" people. The ones who cry wolf. We went to the hospital again yesterday. I knew that I was not in labor but I was having some issues that I wanted my doc to check out. Since she was out of the office and the other docs had a full schedule, they just told me to go to labor and delivery to be checked out there. You for sure get a more thorough check there anyway. It was really good because I was able to watch my contractions on the screen and get some sort of feel for how they were supposed to be. I was having lots of contractions that I didn't even know about. This was on Wednesday, and I was still 2cm, but 90% effaced. I'm also at a -1 station. The labor and delivery nurse said that she thought that I would be in labor within a week easily. She also said that Quincy is all big, my tummy is all baby. She guesses that he weighs 8.5-9lbs. That sort of worries me. I'm not working at this point, which is good for my body but not my mind. I've slept most days and I know that this is good, but I feel like a prisioner in my house. Everytime we try to get out though, I want to come back home. Last Sunday, we went to Sonic for our big outing and we hadn't even gotten our drinks and I was ready to be back home. Sad really. Yesterday we had the regular OB appointment with not much new to report. I'm a "loose" 2cm dilated and 95% effaced. The doctor said repeatedly that this is a great place to start labor. I'm not really sure what she is meaning by this, but I'm all for starting labor anytime now. Hopefully I can post a blog picture of little man Q very soon!
