So Ben and I had a fun evening last night, I was having contractions every 3-4 minutes for atleast 2 hours so we decided to go to the hospital. So at 11:30 PM we asked Ben's brother to come sleep on our couch while we made the trek to Labor and Delivery. Because I was having such steady contractions, I just knew I had to be atleast a 5 by now. Unfortunately I was still a small 3 and after hanging out at the hospital for 2 hours and no change, we were sent home.
It must be that my Dr. is male, I mean, I'm 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, why can't they just give me a little pitosine or break my water? Does 3 days actually make that big of a difference in a 40 week pregnancy? Would it be so bad if he came a little early?
So, due to our recent "false alarm," I decided to list what I will miss about being pregnant instead of feeling sorry for myself.
1- I will miss getting to eat whenever and whatever I want without guilt
2- My maternity clothes are actually cuter than my regular wardrobe
3- At least when you are pregnant you have an excuse to be overweight
4- I will miss feeling the baby move- even though he is a strong little bugger and often hurts me. It's also fun to see my other kids reactions as they see my belly moving like an alien is inside!
5- The excuse to have cravings
6- The anticipation- I can't wait to see the little guy and be able to compare features to our other kids.
7- And the thing I will miss the most is my hugs from Tianna. She loves to come up and give my belly a hug and kiss and say "hi Braxton" or tell him to "come out" so she can play with him. It's so cute and makes my heart melt.
