big news today from my ob!

so, for the last 2 weeks, i’ve been 80%, 1cm, and 0 station. (if you don’t know what this means, i’m sorry. it refers to how much my cervix has openned and how low the baby’s head is) but today (brace yourself) i’m 90%, 3cm, +1 station. The doctor thinks i’ll go into labor within the next “24 to 48 hours” that’s what he said. the internal exam hurt like HELL and i’m still bleeding from it now a full 12 hours later!

so, i’m bracing myself now. of course the man is not GOD so he could be wrong. I personally don’t feel like it will happen quite that soon. but he seemed sure that i won’t make it to my next appointment which they scheduled for monday again.

first thing dennis did when we got home was install the carseat. he’s a bit nervous now. :) almost missed the turn on our way back home.. poor guy. don’t really know why i’m so calm. I gotta admit tho the thought of going thru labor is scary as shit. i’m afraid of the amount of pain i’ll experience and the trauma and all that.

so, after the appt a friend from work came over with his wife and baby son for a while. that baby is so cute! only 2 months old. dennis and i were bugging out thinking how we’re going to have one of those around permanently. lol!

then dinner, then passed out in bed until just 45 minutes ago. D’s still snoring, i just can’t sleep anymore right now. hope i don’t fuck up and wear myself out too much for work tomorrow.

    Oh Tania, that’s wonderful news. I think no matter what time or day you have the child, you’ll do fine. As long as you don’t get anxious the pain should be minimal.

    Best of luck!!! Please don’t go into work if they think you are going to give birth within the next 48 hours. Doctors do know what they are talking about.

    Hugs!!
