Man, oh man. I'm beat. I was up a lot of the night with contractions. They pretty much stayed 8 minutes apart. The midwife said to come in if they made it to 4-5 minutes apart, which I thought they were going to at about 4am, but they didn't stay that close. They fell back to an 8 minutes apart schedule when I was up at 6am. Luckily, I was able to sleep through some of it. I learned my lesson with Ivey and got some sleep! With her, I didn't, and then went to the hospital at 2am only to be up in labor for 22 more hours, which led to a very sleep deprived Holly. This time, I figure that I will try my best to go back to sleep and my body will wake me up if its really really real.
Now, I am very interested to see what they say today at the doctor. I would bet that my cervix has changed even further, but you never know. I could go another 2 weeks. It's a lesson in letting go and not trying to be in control... We've had a lot of those lessons, so I'm pretty prepped to put up with it!
On a different note, I had Monica come to clean my house today! (Actually, she's here now!) I am so excited about having a really truly clean house. All I want to do is get up and clean and organize and get ready for Miss Olive's arrival, but I can't. So, it is very therapeutic to have had Mom come yesterday and organize and then Monica come today and really clean. Vicarious nesting completed.
