Sorry I've been MIA! I'm learning that even though we just had Colin 2yrs ago, there's still a lot to get ready before Jackson's arrival. I think as of this past weekend, we are officially ready for him to join the family. Well, aside from me becoming a nervous wreck at the thought of having a toddler and a newborn to take care of, but I know somehow I'll manage.
The end of this pregnancy is getting rough. I'm growing another huge baby, so it's taking a toll on my body and am having excrutiating groin pain that my OB says I just have to "deal with" until delivery. Not fun! And the hormones are going crazy. Yesterday I cried when Colin threw a tantrum, and then I cried again because I woke up around 1:30am and Scott wasn't in bed yet (in his defense, he was dealing with a huge issue at work, so he had good reason). Basically neither situation were worthy of crying, but I couldn't help it. I think I'm ready to be done with this phase LOL
We've had 1 false labor so far. Well, technically 2, but the first time I was in pain and didn't think I was in labor, I just knew something was wrong (turned out I had an infection causing my uterus to contract and not be able to relax, plus I was dehydrated). The 2nd trip to Labor & Delivery I was having contractions. They were consistently 3-4min apart for 1.5hrs when we finally decided to head into the hospital. By the time we got there, they were only 2 min apart, and by the end they were less than a minute apart. The problem? They weren't very strong and had no effect on my cervix. So I was sent home and sure enough, they went away. I was only 35wks, but because that was probably my only chance for a vbac, I was kind of bummed. I guess Jackson really wanted some extra time to bake ;)
So here I sit at 37wks and doing fine, other than the groin pain. I haven't really had much activity as far as labor signs since the last trip to the hospital, so I'm 99.9% sure I'll make it to my c-section day, May 2nd. And honestly, I think May 2nd is a perfect day for a birthday!
Sorry no pics on this post, I'm getting lazy with downloading, along with everything else LOL
