You hear many different comments when your pregnant. Some really interesting ones, like “if your belly itches, they baby has hair”. Some funny ones, like ” the more you waddle, the closer to birth you are”. And some comments that leave you scratching your head, like ” if you can still see your toes, you are not close to the birth”. Right…. I don’t know why, but there is something about being obviously pregnant that leads people to give you the strangest comments/opinions. So when I tell people that I’m not sleeping well or sleeping much these days (which explains why I’m writing this at 4:50 in the morning), they say “you’re just getting ready for when the baby is born”. Well, no not really. I actually get more sleep once the child is born then I do before. ( and people marvel that I actually look forward to labor. Ha!)
I have a doctor’s appointment today and I’m praying that something has changed. I’ve been having contractions and such all this week (meaning from last Wed. until now) and it would be nice if they were being helpful, instead of just annoying. It’s kind of like, if they’re going to be happening like they have been, and then don’t “do” anything, then what’s the point?
But seriously though, I’ve been doing better. I had a crummy attitude over the weekend. But Monday and yesterday were much, much better. Hopefully today will be a good one, too. It’s a moment by moment thing for me, but I think I’m at peace with God being in control. I know that sounds like a funny thing to say. Of course He’s in control. Duh! But what I mean is, I’m not praying with everything contraction that this is the beginning of labor. I’m purposely not letting myself get into that mind set. It is nothing but destructive. It’s worked for the last two days, here’s hoping for today.
I’ll keep ya’ posted about what transpires at the doctor’s office today.
