Basically here's today in a nutshell...
I've been up since about 3:45 this morning when I woke up to the lovely bloody show (nice name huh?)
I started having contractions (mostly mild, with a few painful) around 6am, which continued through the day.
I had an ultrasound at 2pm to make sure WeeKat wasn't in any distress due to a decrease in movement, she's doing fine- not moving much, but great heartbeat and practice breathing and thumb sucking... which means no fetal distress at all. She now weighs about 6lbs 5oz, and her head and tummy are measuring almost 2 full weeks ahead of me. (she's measuring at 37 weeks 6 days, and I'm 36 weeks on the nose today) We were told she likely isn't moving much either because she has very little room since this last growth spurt, or she's resting up for her big appearance... who knows?
We couldn't see a doc because they were slammed, but talked to the nurses and basically told that I likely had the bloody show... and that means I could go into active labor anytime from now until 2 weeks from now. There is just no way to tell when it's going to happen. So we know nada... other than Kat is just fine, and mommy feels terrible.
My contractions stalled out around 5pm this evening... just feeling generally sore and tired now. It's a waiting game at this point, we have NO clue when she's coming- tonight, tomorrow, next week... your guess is as good as mine, or the doctor's office!
That's the update for today, I'm going to bed early tonight.
Thanks for the well wishes and messages in my e-mail and voicemails, ya'll are too sweet. Please don't worry, everyone here is doing just fine. I'll return calls and e-mails as soon as I am functional again. Love you guys!
