Not knowing when our little baby will arrive is driving me nuts. I keep feeling contractions that feel like major cramps. Ouch! I can handle them, but not knowing for how long to have to deal with them is so annoying. Last Friday at my doctors appointment I was still 75% effaced but dilated to a 1+, not quite a two but almost :). It discouraged me a bit, but at least it was progress. Since then I have been walking a bazillion miles and doing squats. Then yesterday morning I started to bleed--A LOT!!. The doctor said to wait it out because it wasn't labor it was probably from my membranes being swept or having intercourse. What a relief because it sure as heck scared me! Today I have stopped bleeding and can still feel him moving which is a good sign. We are just so anxious for Miles to get here I can't even stand it. I walk in his nursery everyday and imagine what it will be like. It scares me. I can't believe I am going to be a real mom. Am I ready? I better be, right...
I received my new breast pump in the mail yesterday and almost had a panic attack again because knowing that I was going to have to strap that thing to me gave me the chills. I hope I don't feel as funny as I think I will--I probably will though. I have been reading him stories with the dogs and I feel a little silly doing that too. But I want him to know that we are so ready for him to come and that he has so much to look forward to when he gets here.
I have had a fairly easy pregnancy compared to others. Although it may seem easy to others it has been very difficult for me to watch my body change so much. Brady has been very supportive through it all and calls my belly his "little Buddha." And will rub it. I was stretching against a wall the other day and had to laugh because my belly hit the wall before my chest. It is so weird to have something stick our further than my chest. Sleeping is getting more and more difficult. I just am not tired. I mean I am but it comes in spurts. The past three days I have been waking every hour to have to re situate and then by 4-5am I am up and there is no turning back. Maybe it is my body getting ready for all the feeds I will have to do in the middle of the night.?!
I will keep you posted though if anything changes....
Next visit is on Friday.
PS I think we should meet with our Dr's. twice a week when we hit 37wks!! To many things changing and to many questions-by the time my appointment comes I forget all of them. :(

Write them down that has helped me if there is something I want to ask I write it down. That might help you but I'm still going only every four weeks and am a ways off from my due date. I can't wait to see the baby and I'm so excited for you guys! Keep me posted!
