My doctor reported that I have made no further progress since last week. Still 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced. I was a little disappointed, but I guess it just means that this baby is not ready to meet us quite yet. He/she has a few more things to accomplish in there:) Last week, after my appointment and news of the progress, I was really excited and anxious to get this moving, but now I am more relaxed about it. I guess I don't have a choice in the matter! It's getting harder and harder to roll out of bed to get to work these days. Everybody said that the last few weeks would be miserable. Not that I didn't believe them, but I just thought, "I'm not going to resign to that fate, we'll just see." I'm here to report, for me, it is definitely rough, and it would make it a lot easier if I didn't have to work right now, but I haven't gotten to the point where I want to give up just yet. It must be the sunshine today that has me saying this:)ha. YES, I most positively have my bad days, and more so now than ever. Last week I think I cried on the way home from work at least two days out of the week just because I was overtired and who knows what else. However, I know that this will all soon come to an end and I will have a beautiful baby to show for all my hard work (as Brett says when I get down, "you're doing great, babe.") How wonderful is that? At this point I cannot ask for more.
Oh yeah, and BTW, the baby is doing wonderful, the heart rate was 136.
