Throwing in the towel, for now...

Still here. Still contracting. Still nothing progressive. Dammit.

This is the longest I've been pregnant, since I was induced 4 days before my edd with Travis.

Wish me labor vibes for this weekend, please?! :)

Still Pregnant... dammit.

So, still here... no baby yet. Still 2 cms, 50% effaced. Still losing bits of icky pluggy stuff, and still having Prodromal Labor. My bp was 150/110 - but no protein in my urine, so good there. My doctor tried to strip my membranes, but apparently he couldn't reach them, due to the baby still being kind of high in my pelvis. He said 2nd kids don't usually engage until the end stage of labor.

Also, although he does feel for me - with having 48+ hours of Prodromal Labor, he said I "wouldn't be happy" with him if he induced me right now, because my cervix still isn't ready. I asked about using Evening Primrose Oil to help ripen my cervix... and he said it couldn't hurt, but also hasn't been proven to help, either. Ugh.

So, I walked around the mall with Travis for awhile, and then had a spicy lunch at Chipotle. Both also couldn't hurt, and may help... who knows?
So, I need to go back Monday, unless something happens before then. He said he highly doubts I will make it through the weekend. Here's to hoping.

Eww. Just Eww.

Warning... TMI ahead! Too much info! Turn away now!

Okay... still here?

Icky. I just lost part of my mucous plug. And it was every bit as gross as I though it would be, and so much more. I mean, I can't even say it without making a face. Mucous. Plug. GROSS!!! I didn't have the, um... pleasure of seeing it with Travis but this? Definitely ranks up there on the gross-out-o-meter. It was tinged with blood, too. Perhaps the 3 internal exams yesterday have contributed to this? I dunno.

So, let's get this show on the road!!!

Princess in the making....

So, we finally got around to doing some baby laundry last night. We washed a bunch of newborn/ 0-3 stuff last night. Also, some bedding, blankets, etc. I was making dinner, and Jeff went down to see if the stuff was dry.

It wasn't... cause the dryer was on low, but we didn't want anything to shrink too much. Anyway, he came back up from the laundry and said, "Everything's dry except for Ashley's stuff."

I said "Aww! Ashley's stuff... that sounds so cute!"

And he said with a smile "You know what else was cute? The dryer lint was completely pink!"

Yeah... I guess that is pretty damn cute! :)

2 down, 8 to go!

No baby yet... at my appt, my bp was a bit up, 147/94... and my doc checked me. I am 2 cms dilated. I go back on Thursday... unless something happens between now and then. Send me labor vibes, people!! :)
