Arghhhhhhh what a day!!!!!!!! First, I had my OB appt. - STILL 1 cm!! That's 5 weeks at 1 cm. So much for progression!!

Then, off to LIJ (which I'm starting to HATE!!) for another ultrasound - to check fluid - and my 2nd non-stress test. Sooooooo, after waiting 1 1/2 hours to be SEEN, they finally hook me up to the monitor. What should have been 20 minutes turned into 35 (I swear they forgot about me!!)...

Anyway, Peanut's heartrate dipped too many times and got down to 92 at one point so off to L&D I go for MORE monitoring!!! AN HOUR AND A HALF MORE!!! Mind you, I'm on one of those rock hard beds, and 'could you lay on your right side?' Are you people kidding me?!

My appt. was at 1:15 and I didn't leave LIJ until 6:30 - so frustrating!! I'm a very impatient patient!!

What matters most is Peanut's juuuuuust fine.

OK, I feel better now.

Oh Kathi, I'm sorry you had to go through all that!! I'm very glad that Peanut is fine though! I'm going to be hating LIJ myself, since I'll be going to that antipartum room for weekly sonograms starting next Friday -- hey, maybe you'll be in the hospital still? Wouldn't that be great to go see you!!!!

I can't believe that in 3 days (or hopefully sooner), you'll be a mommy and finally get to meet Peanut!! I'm so excited and happy for you!!!

I'll be thinking of you (and Camille and Cindy) all weekend!! I send you all much love and wish you all much luck!!!!

Good Luck Kathi....I hope all goes well Sunday night...maybe you'll go into labor tonight or tomorrow....

Let me know how it goes....I might be next in getting the date....

No dialation yet for me....they put me on a Fetal monitor today and saw a few contractions...but no labor....then they checked the fluid on the sono at the office...fluid is fine...baby is fine...

But to tell you the truth...Mommy is getting a bit annoyed...I know it's only three days...but for God's sake...Help me ....

Now I'm asking for the labor vibes....

Cindy

see Kathi...you do have the nesting gene...isn't that what it is called when you clean right before the birth?

what outfit do you have picked out for Peanut?

Kathi,

I'm so sorry you're going through this .. but just think what a guilt trip you can lay on little Peanut when little Peanut ain't quite so little and starts testing and challenging you!!

Glad to hear Peanut's just fine!!!

Lots of Luck this weekend!!

Sounds like you are having that 2nd burst of energy many women claim to have about 24 hrs. before going into labor. I think you may be in labor tom. Good luck!
