So, my due day has come and gone and still no baby. For some reason, I always thought she'd come at least a week early; guess I was wrong. I'm starting to think that Parker is trying to show me who's boss, and she's doing a pretty darn good job of it. I think I'd feel better if I had some signs that she was going to make her appearance soon.
Unfortunately, she still hasn't dropped, I've yet to have a real contraction, and that glorious mucus plug is still in tact. I'm looking forward to our sonogram and OB visit tomorrow, so we know more about what's going on and maybe what to expect. One thing that concerns me is the
LEEP procedure I had done about 3 years ago to remove some abnormal cells from my cervix. One complication of the
LEEP is an incompetent cervix- I don't have that problem. The other complication is not dilating....I'm curious if this is my issue, but won't know till I discuss it with the doctor tomorrow.
A few days ago, I resisted the urge to post a vent about my husband who was really getting on my nerves with his lack of maturity and responsibility. Since then, however, he's like a new man. Wednesday night, he escorted me to my office in the middle of the night, so I could get things together for my classes in case I don't return at the start of the semester. When he came home from work Friday, he cleaned the bathrooms. After work Saturday, he mopped the floors. He's also unloaded the dishwasher, helped with laundry, and picked up dinner. I'm truly blessed to have him around, and I hate that I took him for granted a few days. Sure, his desire to go to a bar Wednesday evening was immature and not what I'd consider to be a "good idea," but he didn't end up going....maybe as a result of my temper tantrum.
Either way, we're going strong and looking forward to this little darling's arrival. I just can't wait to hold her in my arms!
