In which we are just….waiting now

Thanks for the excitement and prayers! I’ll continue to post updates because I know that everyone is eager to hear and, since we don’t have a phone, this will have to suffice!

I’m posting updates at Facebook, here (on the side bar called “Pulse”) and at Twitter (which you can, if techologically saavy unlike myself, use to receive the updates even over your cell phone!) if you’re ever wondering.

Brian skipped class last night at my request. It wasn’t that I felt like “I could go into heavy labour at any moment!” but more just that I didn’t want to be alone.  We went to the mall so that I could walk and walk. Ctxns stayed at about every 30 minutes or so. We puttered around in the evening. I even packed a bag for the hospital FINALLY. I had a bath. We got to enjoy some time in bed, just snuggling and talking.

Last night I had another very restless night with ctxns every 30 minutes. They’re not bad at all. So I was up every hour or so but did manage to relax and sleep. Now Anne and I are up for the day. I chased Brian out the door to go to work. I’d rather he have his time off when the baby is here. So Anne and I will go for a walk this morning again.

I told Brian it’s almost better to be like most women that don’t know that they’re in this stage of labour for two days! The waiting is hard!

So we’re just still in “wait and see”. Everything is moving forward, steadily but slowly.

I wonder if anyone else has done The Hokey Pokey with their two year old at 10 months pregnant and in labour? Because, let me assure you, THAT was a sight.

    I woke up at 4:50 this morning and was hoping you had had baby! I was just like you with labour! I knew I was in the beginning stages on Tuesday, but didn't have Austin until early Friday morning. You're right, that waiting is SO hard! Treat yourself to some good magazines and stuff! Hope the water breaks soon!

    Praying for you and baby and Brian and Anne!
