Last Day

After three and a half weeks of agony, today’s my last full day of pregnancy.  Yep, we decided yesterday to go ahead and schedule an induction for tomorrow.  My mom is flying here tonight, and this will maximize her helpfulness.  I’ve been contracting more and more, and more painfully, but I was still only 2 cm yesterday.  Since I’m 80% effaced, he assures me that this will not be one of those nightmare inductions that several of my friends have had.  My body is in labor, but it just can’t get over the hump into productive labor.

So I celebrated this morning by boxing up my maternity clothes and sticking them in the garage until I can get them to a friend who is first-time preggo, enlisting the kids’ help in a massive cleaning session, stocking up on staples at Walmart, and baking a fresh batch of bread.  Stay tuned tomorrow…

    Oh, yes I do too, but I’m just keeping the ones that I have to–the poofy belly/empire waist stuff is gone.
