39 Weeks 2 Days
OK, I am really, really tired of this false labor nonsense. A contraction here, a contraction there, no big deal, but these nights of several hours of contractions are starting to annoy me. Thanks to handy, online tools I can even track the buggers. Voila:
| Start | Interval from Last | End | Duration |
| 1:50:53 | 1:52:48 | 115 seconds | |
| 1:56:39 | 5 minutes 46 seconds | 1:57:40 | 61 seconds |
| 1:58:00 | 1 minute 21 seconds | 1:59:14 | 74 seconds |
| 2:03:17 | 5 minutes 17 seconds | 2:04:26 | 69 seconds |
| 2:10:10 | 6 minutes 53 seconds | 2:11:41 | 91 seconds |
| 2:16:49 | 6 minutes 39 seconds | 2:18:14 | 85 seconds |
| 2:23:53 | 7 minutes 4 seconds | 2:24:49 | 56 seconds |
| 2:25:50 | 1 minute 57 seconds | 2:26:34 | 44 seconds |
| 2:30:41 | 4 minutes 51 seconds | 2:32:11 | 90 seconds |
| 2:36:06 | 5 minutes 25 seconds | 2:37:02 | 56 seconds |
In other fun news, I had a weird moment of seeing bright sparkles all over my field of vision for about 30 - 45 seconds tonight. Because that can be a symptom of high blood pressure I called the midwife-on-call and she talked me down. Because I didn’t have a headache and because my blood pressure has always been great she wasn’t worried about toxemia, but told me that that swelling, like the kind I have everywhere, can put pressure on the optical nerves.
So…now my eyes are swollen. Great.
Stumble it!

Hi Stacie,
Best wishes on a speedy delivery! We have been trying to contact you but get all our emails returned. Hopefully we will get through soon.

I voted for July 11th for you because that is my daughter Clara’s birthday. We will be celebrating 6 years on Tuesday, and it’s neat because she was born on a Tuesday and this is the first time that her birthday falls again on a Tuesday.
So it’s a magic kind of day, and with the full moon and all, you will certainly give birth on Tuesday.
Hang in there!

Alright, Stacie, what’s the news? We have not heard from you since Friday… is this good? Or just tired of reporting ’still here, still prego’
Here’s hoping all is super good for your & those twinkies of yours.
xoxo

Ok, so this entry is nearly a year old, but I just wanted to send plaudits to you for reaching 39+ weeks - I thought I was a rock star and I had a planned ceasar at 38. I could not have gone a further day (but that was partially, if I am being fair, because of a health issue which made walking painful and risky).
Yay you!
