The Twinkies

Well, last night was false labor night. (also know, more encouragingly, as “pre-labor”.) Contractions were noticable and uncomfortable but didn’t have a clear pattern and didn’t progress at all. I did have “bloody show” though, so I had some hope. I paced, took warm showers, ate toast, paced more and finally got some sleep around 3AM. By morning the contractions had stopped, but I made B. drive me to my already scheduled doctor appt. for fear I would drive off the road given how exhausted I felt.

1 lousy cm. I am dilated 1 lousy, stinkin’ cm.

The only good news was that one baby has dropped and is well and truly engaged in the pelvis.

In more standard news, the babies remain reactive, I gained 1 more pound since Monday and am up to 211, and my blood pressure was 125/85. The midwife said not to worry about the blood pressure, that the rise was still in the OK zone, and probably just due to not sleeping much last night anyway.

Back to waiting.
