Really eenteresting appointment today!
WARNING: May contain Too Much Information, which may make individuals of the male persuasion a little yuckie!
Hey all,
I went to see the good doctor today after feeling really cruddy all weekend (I've been nauseus, back-achey, anxious, and I thought my Braxton Hicks were getting more intense, turns out not to be the case).
He decided to see what was going on and happily declared that he did NOT think I would be making it to my due date! Looks like the effacement has begun and the pain I was feeling was really from the baby's head pushing down to the birth canal. So I go back on Friday to see if things have progressed and if they haven't I'll see him again on Monday and we'll take him from there.
I got a little horrified this morning at the thought of going into labor, which is the very first time it's struck me in all seriousness. I'm over it now, though. I think the anxiety was all spawned by the Birthing Center Tour that Mike and I went on yesterday. Wow is the hospital gorgeous! But seeing it all and knowing for sure that this place would be where Michael would come into the world made me very nervous. Mike feels better about it, though, so I know I'll have him helping to keep me calm the whole way to the hospital.
At any rate, I can't possibly update an entry without putting into it the following:
WATCH OUT EAGLES, THE PATRIOTS ARE GONNA TEAR YOU APART!!!! HUZZAH!!!!
