Nothing much interesting to report today. A few contractions here and there, but nothing worth timing. Have been relaxing and reading a lot with my feet up, and since last night, I have the worst pain 'down there' when I walk or sit up in bed. So I'm hoping this means she's finally engaged, which might mean this could happen soon. It finally stopped snowing, so I could get out of the house today. On my own. I feel like I'm stuck a lot because I shouldn't drive in the snow. So now I'm unstuck for another few days. I hope!

And I thought March would never get here! So here I am, 12 days to go and counting. Had a few Braxton Hicks contractions, but not much else lately. Just feeling generally uncomfortable and totally ready for this to be over. Right now I'm contemplating what I want for lunch today... either Grilled cheese (again) or peanut butter.And it's snowing again.... The nurse at the birthing center said they get really busy during snowstorms... so I was hoping. But of course, I'm still here, and she's still in there. So here's hoping I don't make it to my appointment on Friday.

We had such a good time last night. We went out to Friday's for dinner, and boy did I stuff myself. I guess everything will be different when our little girl finally gets here, but maybe some people won't mind her tagging along once in a while. I'd hate to never go out and have fun again because we had a baby.Also... on an interesting note. I was having contractions again last night. Actually on and off all day, but they only got regular around 10pm. They were coming every ten minutes and were pretty painful. Nothing I couldn't handle, but definitely noticeable! I was really hoping that it was time, but they tapered off and went away about 11:30, so I went to sleep.Only two weeks left until my due date... Hope I don't have to go too long afterwards.

Jennie and Ben are coming down tomorrow... and I'm glad. I feel awful making everyone drive down here, but I'm really not "supposed" to go too far from the hospital. So I'm pretty much stuck here until she comes. So I'm glad that we have company sometimes.We're not cleaning the house either... or at least I'm not. I informed Steven that he had to stop, because she wouldn't ever show up until our house is trashed, and we couldn't possibly entertain company here. Then she'll show up. So maybe it works that way. I know I shouldn't get all worked up about it... its not like she's late (yet) but I was truly hoping she'd be early.

Still nothing, but that's no surprise. Still waiting and hoping she'll be early. Having a terrible time sleeping at night... and walking around is still awfully painful, but hopefully all this pain is worth something.

Apparently nothing is going on in there... I had contractions on Friday for about six hours... and then they just went away. Yesterday Steven and I walked... and walked... and walked. And still nothing! I think she's just teasing me. I want her to come out early so bad... she'll probably be so late I'll have to be induced! Just thought everyone reading this ought to know what's going on. Or at least as much as I know anyways.

Well, something is definitely going on in there. I've been having contractions between 10 and 20 minutes apart for like 4 hours now... but the dr said not to call until they were 5 minutes apart... so I probably have a long way to go. I could probably have contractions like this for a week. Yay... So anyways, here's hoping that in a few days we might have a baby here. I don't really know what to do besides wait... so that's what we're doing. If they get more painful, or closer together, I guess I'll have to tell Steven to come home.. but so far, he can stay at work, this is nothing I can't handle yet.
