D- Day!
Labor Symptoms:
I know, I skipped the 1-day countdown update, so here it is: no baby! Here is a pic of Andy and me walking around Solvang yesterday, still hopeful (haha).
Now it’s my DUE DATE and… still no baby. Also no labor symptoms. Late yesterday afternoon, I started having really bad back pain again that made it actually impossible to walk. The pain also started shooting down my inner thigh, basically paralyzing me. I really wish there was some way to communicate that I am not exaggerating the severity of this! Ridiculous lightning bolt-type pain. I spent the evening in the bath (again) then went to bed relatively early. This morning I woke up and felt pretty good! So much for a due date miracle!
Activities:
I went grocery shopping and the most exciting thing that’s happened, is I’m now 2 stamps away from my very first Rachael Ray free dinnerware item. I think we will go with one red cereal bowl.
Preparation for Baby:
Zulily delivery today — How cute and perfect are these?!
Inquiries from others:
Nonstop phone calls and texts, which I really appreciate!!! Sorry I don’t have more exciting news to share yet.
Personal thoughts:
I better start researching induction and convince myself to overlook the horror stories if I want to meet this baby anytime in the next 20 days.
I was induced with my 2nd, 6 months ago. It went fine! Seriously, no problems. I was *almost* induced with #1, but she showed up a day before my induction date (almost a week late). Don’t worry. Everything will be fine and in a few days, one way or another, you’ll have a baby. And then it all really begins.
