Since I hit 36 weeks, Dr. Talsky said we were able to have a baby any day...so instead of stopping labor, we began waiting for it to start. And it's not really starting...it keeps faking us out!
I've been experiencing lots of contractions in the past few weeks. Some have kept me awake until midnight. Others have woke me up in a dead sleep at 3am. Two nights last week we spent time timing contractions for 3 and 4 hours at a time. One night they started at midnight and were accompanied with severe back pain. They lasted till 3:45am about 4 minutes apart, then they just stopped. I thought we were heading to the hospital! The next time they went on 10 minutes apart from 8:20 till nearly 1am. While I love all the practice with timing, I'm getting a little disheartened. The past few days the contractions have slowed a bit...and that is also disheartening too. I am ready for the baby to be here. I'm ready to be done trudging myself out of bed 4 times a night just to go to the bathroom. I'm ready to meet our baby and count all ten fingers and toes. I'm ready! And so is Jer.
So Baby Linley...whenever you are ready...your parents and lots of other wonderful family are awaiting your arrival...anyday!
