Well, last night I was up at 3:00 having regular contractions that lasted until 8:00 this morning. They were regular but not getting any stronger, so I called the midwife and she confirmed what I thought–the frequency doesn’t matter but the intensity does. So, after eating breakfast and getting the kids up and ready and going about my day they finally died off for the most part. I can definitely tell they are getting more painful and walking is also more painful, but nothing yet. Which doesn’t actually surprise me, since I was late with the other 2. It’s just disappointing to have the contractions last for so long and then just go away.
And in light of my morning starting with such uncertainty I had to cancel our adventure plans for today–which REALLY bummed me out. We were going to meet up with Stacy and little Autumn (who is 9 months now!) at a park and let the kids play and then have lunch together. It was going to be awesome. Well, I guess we’ll have to save that for another day. Instead we laid low at home and then I took them out for ice cream this afternoon as or “adventure.” They still thought it was fun.
Then tonight the kids helped Tim mow the lawn. Yup, I finally decided it was time to relinquish the mowing duties for a little bit. 🙂
My hope is that this baby comes tomorrow. I would just love the idea of coming right on my due date. So punctual!
That’s a bummer about yesterday. But Happy Baby Day today! I hope she arrives today, too. 😀
Like Kylene said “Bummer” But baby will come in due time. and as the time is getting close staying close to home might not be a bad idea.I don’t know how it was for your mother with her third and fourth deliveries but for me they got progressively shorter.
Hoping all the contractions you had already mean that when the time comes, your labor is really short!
