This weekend was pretty tough as I finally started to have some serious contractions. Poor Mr. F (or "My Baby Daddy as he told me I should refer to him on this blog...) woke up every time I rolled over on Saturday night to ask if we needed to go to the hospital. Well, we didn't go, but I was having solid contractions about every 20 min, then every 10 for a while and as painful as they were, I got the great news this morning at my check up that some progress has been made! 1 cm down, 9 to go! Additionally I didnt gain any weight this week, another sign labor is probably around the corner!! Just in case though, we set an induction date of next Thursday, Nov. 20.
I've been walking as much as I possibly can and eating lots of spicey foods too. Not to mention the dr. told me rasberry tea has been known to help labor get going... and if all else fails, there is a full moon this Thursday, so something is bound to happen! And yes, in case you're wondering, more people than I can count have recommended a little "adult activity" to help things move in the right direction, although I think that is a discussion for another blog ;)
If you know of any other ways to get things moving let me know! I want to have this baby pronto!!! :)
ps. any and all prayers for a safe delivery are welcomed and appreciated :)
