Quick update

Had a midwife appointment yesterday, everything still good. She guessed that Verity is in the 8 pound range now (yay…?) We don’t have another appointment until next Monday evening, at which time we might go into a few more interventions to get things moving because I’ll be encouraged to get another sonogram and schedule an induction at 42 weeks (figure I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, but anticipate a plan of a written letter opting OUT of that plan so long as mama and baby are doing fine).

Last night we had a little party grow at our pad, kinda organically, made up of all the people adding to our Azure Standard order this week. It was so much fun! But we didn’t end things til around midnight so I quickly went to bed and woke up from a deep sleep 6 hours later with a sore throat. Weird…

Then I had a few hours of contractions this morning and had to have Chris come home from work to help with Ethan. I’ve had contractions and BM’s (TMI?) all day, esp when taking walks, but nothing feels like its getting more progressive so I’m still skeptical of either a loooooong latent phase OR another start/stop labor. Ahhhhh, well, yeah, whatever!

Right now I’m sitting on a yoga ball drinking tea and eating a few chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven… mmm… and sometimes bracing the coffee table during the small rushes that come every 5-10 minutes or so.

OKAY, well, stay tuned, I suppose!
