What I learned today:

Do not eat a half of a pack of rainbow twizzlers no matter how good they taste. You will have a MAJOR sugar crash.

LOL, Sorry.

But I really doubt I will go anytime soon, but today would be cool because it's National Star Wars day, and it would be funny if LUKE was born on Star Wars Day!

LOL...that would be perfect!

Off to the grocery store...would be just my style if something crazy happened, like my water breaking on the cereal aisle. I can hear it over the intercom now, "Clean up, aisle 8."

Ugh! I am Sooo Frustraited!!!! I had contractions yesterday on and off all day, then around 8pm they started getting closer together, then by 9pm they were painful 2 minutes apart and lasting 1 minute. So we went to the hospital where they slowed, then picked up and were getting very painful, but I was only 1-2 and 70%, after an hour ...long NST they sent us home, kept having contractions but they seemed further apart, finally fell asleep around 1:30 - 2 am, and only had a couple more big contractions in the night. Now 4 hours later I'm up for work, and still seem to be having small contractions, but nothing like last night. GRRR!

Prayer to my little Guy... "Please Please get going, I could take the waiting if I didn't have all these very real false alarms, that leave me dissapointed. Feel free to come today, it's your grandpa's birthday, and I'm sure he would be happy to share it with you..."

Poor Hubby got to bed at 1:30am and had to be up at 5:30am to go back to the hospital for his nursing clinicals

The nurse last night and DH's teacher this morning who is one of the head Nurses for L&D both predicted that he would come within the next 48 hours if My contractions keep going the way they have been. But I am confused about that, because yes they are still going, but without the real pain like last night. So I'm refusing to get my hopes up. Although the nurse last night said I need to be more visual and that the mind is a powerful thing, if I believe my body is ready and I visualize myself being ready, it will help relax me and progress. I know I sound completley impatient, but if I wasn't having these false alarms I would be much more content, I just keep getting excited and thinking THIS IS IT! Then get sent home, and they taper off....

Luke just has to come in the next 48 hours... Why else would this be happening? Oh I hope he does arrive, it would be the best Mothers day ever, for you!

VISUALIZE VISUALIZE VISUALIZE!!!!

Kelseygirl- Yes, try to visualise! Picture your cervix opening like a blooming flower, see your babys' head passing through the opening and coming into this world. Try to be calm but affirmative, really focus on the open cervix.



Today is my big 20 week (I'm really only 19 weeks and a day though) baby anatomy scan! Dont know why Im so excited, but I am! I gues I just enjoy seeing baby any chance I can!

Thanks lady's! The nurse last night said to visualise a ribbon tied around the cervix opening, and untieing that ribbon, allowing my cervix to open. It's crazy that they can already feel his head, and that he is only a couple inches from the outside world.
