Hoorah For Alicia!

Okay, so my sister-in-law just brightened my day.
I was bummed that the sprog wouldn't be here on Billie's birthday but Alicia writes...

"Billy Holliday and Francis Ford Coppola were born April 7 ... Julian Lennon and Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama...as far as we know) were born April 8 ..."

Is it a little coincidental that my 'focus piece' for labour is a tiny buddha I have?

I was always intending on squishing this instead of my husband's fingers:



What a lovely circle of events.

Bah!

He's not here.
He's not coming today.

And to top things off now I'm having to wear a pad, which is something I haven't worn since I was 13.

Needless to say I am very pissed off and uncomfortable.

Yich and blich!

6 am!

6 am, more bloody discharge.
*Incredible* back pain.

Hoorah!

*bounces off walls*

Gross. Wow.

GROSS.
Wow.

Don't tell me that exercise did it?

Bloody discharge at 1am, right when I was brushing my teeth.

Putting hospital bags optomistically (at my mothers orders) by the front door.

If nothing happens tonight I'll jump back on the treadmill tomorrow....because that certainly stirred SOMETHING up.

*boing eyes*

Maybe by this time tomorrow we will have a baby!

Get out of meh bellah!

Baking

So what else do you do when you're past your due date and *nobody* will let you do any home renovations?

I guess you keep baking.

Yesterday I made two lemon loaves and a double batch of lemon honey.



I'm sure getting fat will help my pregnancy.
*eyeroll*

Can't Sleep

It's 3.30am.
I'm stressed out about stuff.
I think mostly about the date for being induced.
Maybe the prenatal nurse was wrong about me having him 'way before'.
Because she said that on the 2nd.
It's now the 6th.
And the date to be induced is the 9th.

And I still don't even FEEL ready to deliver, or very pregnant.

I know stressing about stuff is stupid and it doesn't help, but where's my kid at?

All I wanted was a natural labour.
I thought I could handle the pain but I didn't think about being pumped with drugs to induce, should things run long.

I am very, very upset right now.
So it's 3.30am and I can't sleep.
