Last night, I felt like it was going to be the time. It hurt so badly that I started saying I was scared, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this anymore, and baby should just stay put. I went to bed early and made sure Bill did too, in case we'd be getting up soon to head to the birth center.
And then they finally, after over two hours of near tears pain, went away. Yep, this early labor stuff is torture! It continues to get worse each day, and it'll climb in pain until I'm sure I'm about to burst into active labor. Then right before it crosses that line, it finally stops. I have tried so much to push it over that edge, but nothing has been working.
At the very least, I'm finally able to experience nesting this time. I did not have any nesting with Katie, but this time I'm on my feet, zooming around cleaning every day. I spent three hours running around this morning when I woke up cleaning, folding, throwing things away, squatting to pick things up, etc. I've been slowly picking up downstairs too. I have the huge need to get everything ready for baby. With this raging in me for a few days, I thought so much activity might help get the baby here, but he sure is staying put!
I'm thinking this is just one stubborn baby. It really seems like my body is doing it's part to get this show on the road. I get very heavy, harsh contractions that take my breath away. My cervix has been opening and causing huge pains. So where is this baby at?
There's a nice, giant snow storm on it's way this weekend. I'm pretty sure this child is snuggling in and waiting until it hits!
