I think labor has finally started....

Well....for the past few days I've been having contractions that have been pretty regular. Last night they were pretty constant, and then stopped and then were pretty sporadic throughout the day until about an hour ago I've been having them constantly....and I am even losing my mucus plug. I lost a big chunk of it when my contractions started an hour ago and have been losing more every time I go to the bathroom.
So....my predictions.....I'll probably have this baby either tonight or tomorrow....or even Monday, the day before my birthday..ha ha.

Update

Ok...so lately I have been having the same contractions....but still getting no where! It's very frustrating. I haven't lost my mucus plug, nor has this baby dropped all the way. It's like these contractions are playing with my emotions....like a bad relationship.

Well....Matthew has drill this weekend, but thankfully he is staying here in Lawton in stead of going all the way to Oklahoma City. I highly doubt I'll go into labor this weekend, because I've been going through the same thing for over a week and no change, except for my dilation.

well.....I'll definitely keep this updated for those of you who actually read this. I need to figure out how to add friends onto this......

38 weeks 1 day!!

K...so update!

Went to the doctors today and I got checked and I was 3 cm dilated 30% effaced and at -2 station.

I am in shock because with both my other kids I was having pretty bad contractions and this time around I'm not having them as badly....I get them here and there, but nothing out of the normal. I'm just praying this is a sign that I'm going to have an easy labor. Matthew gave me a blessing about a month ago and in the blessing it said that this labor will be the easiest of them all....and I have faith that it will be :) I have to have faith!

Anyway.....updates later :)

38 weeks!!!

Ok, so only 2 more weeks left to go (maybe less). I'm excited, but once I get to the hospital, all the memories of pains and labor will hit and then I won't be as excited, but the end product is always the best part!
I went to the hospital the 4th to get a urinalysis done to see if I had protein in my urine (the doctors thought I had a high blood pressure...which I really didn't have that high of a blood pressure...who wouldn't have a high blood pressure going to a doctors office?) Anyway....they were going to induce me if I did have protein in my urine....and I didn't, so now it's all a waiting game from here on out. I've been having those oh so lovely Braxton Hicks Contractions....and on top of that...going #2 a lot (which is usually a sign that labor is about to start soon).

Well, as you can see from my picture, my baby has dropped and he is so totally locking into place, he's in my hips and boy is there pressure.
We had a great 4th of July. Matt's friend Nic joined us and man....are my kids in love with him or what? All they talk about lately is where is Nic? I also included a pic of Brooke and Nic...he's her new found love :) It's great finding someone my kids love and we can trust with them....Brooke is pretty picky when it comes to people, but she loves Nic.
I will keep this updated from here on out....I'm going to the doc's tomorrow to get checked and see how I'm doing (my luck....NOTHING) but we shall see.

Contractions lead to LABOR!

Well....I went to the Doctors today and I am less then a cm dialated....which is eh...but good at the same time because that means I'm actually getting somewhere!
I had a different doctor today who I really liked and I got to see Aeneas again :) I saw him breathing and his heartbeat and his profile (I think he will look like Matthew). I have to go to the hospital tomorrow because I've been having high blood pressure and they just want to do a pee in the cup routine to check and see if I have protein in my urine. If I do have protein in my urine then I that means I will have to be induced :) I know....being induced sounds so unpleasent, but I'm SO stinkin' excited! I really hope I get induced because that means I get to see my little prince sooner :)


Anyway....that's all that's going on right now, I will update you on what's going on later when I find out.

I hope you all enjoy your 4th of July....I know I will!! I'll definitely take pictures :)

Contractions?

Well today started out pretty well...just a normal morning. About an hour ago I started having really bad cramping on my right side....I was supposed to go shopping (thankfully Matthew is at the store as I speak with Gabriel) Matthew gave me a blessing and since then I've felt somewhat better...I read my scriptures and while reading the pain went away....so it makes me want to read non stop! I've definitely been having contractions though because every so often I get horrible pains and my stomach hardens....OH BOY.....the thought makes me nervous yet excited!
Poor little Aeneas is probably suffering just as much as me...his little home is being condensed down to nothing. Soon when my water breaks he will have no where to go but out!

Anyway....just updating my progress :)

37 weeks

So I have been slacking on the picture taking lately....sorry! I promise I'll take some more this week....heck, maybe even today...I'm actually feeling pretty good today.
Well, I had my appt. last week and things went well, the baby is in the head down position, which is great, I don't want him to turn! My cervix is finally ripening!!! And I think he's starting to drop, though it's a gradual drop. I'm still not able to breathe as well and I can't wait til he drops all the way.
I think I'm having contractions because this morning my stomach hurt so badly like BM pains and that's the beginning signs of contractions....then other stuff follows....but who knows, with my luck I'll go over my due date like with Brooke...I'm dreading that so much because I'm just so ready for this pregnancy to be over with!

Matthew has been such an amazing help these past few weeks, I don't know what I would do without him. He knows how hard my last month of pregnancy is and tries to help out as much as possible! I know there are men out there who don't help out (which is lame since they put the woman in that situation) and I'm SO greatful for what I have!!! My kids have also been pretty good as well, which makes it easier on me...I mean, they are still kids, but they have been better these past few weeks!

I'm getting SO excited yet SO nervous at the same time. I have no clue how the labor is going to be like and I think that's the scary part....i had such a short labor last time with Brooke but a HORRIBLE epidural...and I'm dreading that part.

I'll keep this updated so everyone knows what is going on when :)
Any day now....really
