Blizzard
Wow. It's been snowing since 3 p.m. We're literally snowed in at our place right now. Mother nature does NOT know it's the end of April.
Anywho - had my Dr.'s appointment today. Turns out that my EDD was actually the 23rd - 2 days ago. That's a more accurate date based on both my ultrasounds etc. Glad I didn't know that until now.
My appointment went a little different than previous ones. Since I'm past my date, they hooked me up to a machine to test baby's heartrate and for any uterine contractions - a non-stress test. I was on it for almost an hour - my Dr. was pulled into an emergency c-section. When he got back he had good news - my chart showed baby's heartrate was fine, and that I was contracting regularly - even though I really couldn't tell - it just felt like the baby was active. Then he checked my cervix, and found out the baby was engaged - and he was able to strip my membranes.
Right after my appointment, we went to Target and walked around for another hour and I felt contractions the whole time - stronger than before. They kept coming pretty good until about 8 p.m. - and they've kept going on and off/usually not as intense for another 4 hours (it's almost midnight). I was able to fall asleep on the couch, and I think I'll get some sleep tonight.
SO - wish me luck - that the snow lets up in case we have to head to the hospital, and that the contractions keep going and get more intense tomorrow. Because it sure would be nice to have this baby soon.
