Diaries Of A Trophy Wife

Just An Update

He's still not here!!! I'm a couple weeks behind on the info, sorry. On my Aug. 28th appointment I was feeling really bad, really bad. And of course, that had to be the day that my Dad was on vacation and decided to go with Mom and I. Not that I don't want my Dad involved, but it embarrasses me for him to know certain things, it's my Dad, you know. Well, since it was getting so close for me to have the baby, I also had to go shopping for a nursing bra. Again, there was my Dad. Urgh. So not only was I aggravated and embarrassed, I was getting really nervous that I was going into labor or something because for the first time I was getting really crampy. So when I got to my appt....finally, they decided to go ahead and do an exam just to check things out. This was on week 37 and they weren't supposed to start doing my exams until I was 38 weeks. Turned out everything was ok. I was dilated to a 1 and working on 2, but my cervix was still really thick. Sorry if that grossed anyone out. Then on my last appt., there was no change. And she said his head is still up really high and not pushing down which is why there was no change. I am really disappointed about it and I'm alittle worried that he won't come on his own since I didn't make any progress. And I still don't feel like he's dropped any. We'll see I guess. So unless I have him before Thursday, I go back to the dr. and talk to her about either waiting things out or inducing. I wish I would've had him by now since Travis starts back to school the week of the 15th. He will be getting his week of vacation from work whenever I have the baby, but I was hoping to have his uninterrupted attention for that first week. That's our luck though. So my next post will either be telling you when I'm going to be induced, or to introduce my baby :-) Thanks for everyone who has been thinking about us and to those who have came to see us before the big day. In the mist of some of the drama we've been dealing with lately, it has been really nice knowing that there are some people who do care about us.
