35 weeks later

And I'm still pregnant. For now!

We had a baby appointment on Tuesday. It was a follow up to a visit to the hospital last week. I was having contractions and they needed to stop them. All I can say is DAMN, THOSE SHOTS BURN!!!

I'm currently 1cm dilated. I still get strong contractions but not like before. Doc says she doesn't see me making it a full 40 weeks. I'm all for that! She also said that when the time comes, it will be a short labor. I'm all clear for a home labor and a natural hospital birth. I had to compromise with Cliff on this one. I wanted a home birth but he isn't comfortable with it. Oh well, at least I can do the majority of laboring at home with no doctors or nurses up my butt rushing my labor.

I just really want to meet our daughter. She is a miracle to me. 2 miscarriages in 6 months and a few weeks after the last we get pregnant and it sticks.

So much more I could write. But I'm tired. These last few weeks have been very unkind to me. My morning sickness is back. I have a horrible pinched nerve in my mid back and exhaustion is sweeping over me. Not to mention baby L is living up in my ribcage.
