July 1, 2010: Will Tonight be the Night?

Soooooo. Things are progressing. I think.

TMI ALERT! Sorry this is more an account for my memory so enjoy!

Monday I had appointment and was told I was at a 3 cm and he could feel the head. Not only that, but he said he could wiggle the head. I indeed felt Casey's body moving a bit in correlation with his wiggle. It hurt, even though it was kinda neat. Later that day I had bloody mucusy stuff but not much (he warned me that blood would probably be the result of the exam). The next day I lost a big chunk of my mucus plug, and today two more big pieces. The last two nights I have had timeable pains, I THINK contractions. But nothing to send me rushing to the hospital. Plus I am still really congested and a bit intimidated by the idea of going through labor with my head full of snot. Yes, there is snot emerging from all orifices.

The Webers rushed here after our appointment on Monday and this was their second day in town. It's been so nice having them here.

I spend my days with butterflies in my stomach thinking of when he will be here. It's like being a kid and waiting for Disney World trip to arrive. Nearly exactly like that.

Thinking tonight could be the night. Or hoping. If not tonight I hope he hangs in there for the 4th. The 1st or the 4th are good solid birthdays.

Oh I felt something! Little man knocking. Rita and I got mani/pedis and I thought for sure my water would break out in public haha. But no. I got sparkly blue toenails to make me happy during the awful pushing!

Mama to two
