Sunday Family Stories - Waiting...

I honestly thought that I might have a baby story to share today... I was having regular contractions Friday night, starting at about midnight and progressively getting closer, so much so, that I woke Wayne up at about 2 AM so that he could shower and get ready, because I was down to about 11 minutes apart...

Once he was showered and wide awake, he sat down and we timed a few contractions - the time was still steady, but the intensity wasn't as bad... I was drifting off to sleep, and then they stopped completely... it's now 7:30 pm and they haven't restarted... so we're back to waiting...

This is something else that I didn't get to experience when I had Liam, I went into labour long before I started worrying about when and how I'd start... heck I was being put on bed rest for my blood pressure and told to relax and my doc would see me in a week.

With Baby E, they are worried about him being big, and that's adding some to my stress, plus we're now in that window where they'd like me to go into labour, so the parting words from my O/B last week was let's hope your water breaks...

In a way, I'm okay with waiting... the longer E bakes, the stronger he'll be... then again, the bigger he'll be... so I sit and stew and wait for E to make his appearance known... and every time I feel a strong twinge, I wonder if labour will be starting...

Have I ever told you that I hate waiting...

Oh Heather:) Im sorry! Its amazing how time just slows way way down when you are waiting and preparing for a baby's arrival. My first 3 were "on time" a few were even early. My last two however, each went 12 days "over" while I expected them to be "on time" or early. I cried and cried and felt like it was a sick joke on me and i wasnt really getting a baby. Silly yes, now I know. BUT i did get babies, beautiful wonderful ones and you'll get one very very soon:)

I do not remember much of my labor. I was 2 weeks overdue back in 1974 and they induced labor and back then you really didn't have too many options so as soon as the water broke and I started having pain, they must of knocked me out because I don't remember anything until afterwards when I kept asking for the baby. Best of Luck.

Oh the waiting! It's so much fun, but it's so much frustration! I hope that baby makes its way out soon! Stopping by from the Wednesday Window.

Oh wow! Good luck with the labor!

I didn't even know I was having contractions until I was on the way to the hospital (was scheduled for induced due to low amniotic fluid when my baby decided that nobody's going to force him out). Thank God we were already on the way to hospital and by the time I reached there, 4.5 hrs later my boy is out via natural birth!

Btw, hopping over from The Wednesday Window! Have a nice day! :)
