So, since going off bedrest at 36 weeks, here's what's happened so far.....
NOTHING.
I find it very ironic that after 5 weeks of trying to keep this child inside my body, now that she can safely come out, she's decided she doesn't want to anymore. This hardly seems fair (to me).
I am now as big as a barn. My ribs hurt, my back hurts, my legs hurt. I can't sleep, I don't feel like eating, and I spend all of my time in the bathroom. I'm starting to feel a little bit desperate.
My doctor checked my cervix today, and though it's shorter, it hasn't dilated anymore. The doctor said it was only a fingertip, which strikes me as odd, since it was 2.5 cm 5 weeks ago. Did it just snap shut? How can this be? It's not fair. NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR! I want this kid out! I'm so sick of people asking me how I'm feeling, and making comments like, "Are you still around?" and "Still no baby?" I want to say, "Do I look like I've had a baby yet?!"
Sheesh

This post makes me laugh...I'm almost in the exact same situation as I sit here reading this and timing contractions, trying to figure out if I should head back to the hospital. After 7 weeks of being afraid the kid will fall out, and now being 100% effaced and 5.5cm dilated, she isn't budging. Ahhhh!
