10 days to go !!!

Some of you have been asking how things are going with the pregnancy. I did try to post a loooong comment yesterday and for some reason it didn't save properly and I lost all my text. I was pretty annoyed at the time and just didn't feel like writing again.

So here it goes... still no baby so far. I've gained 34 lbs (35 total with my last pregnancy). So not bad, I should be around 35-37 with this one. I had a doc's appointment Monday morning and the head was high, cervix long and I was not dialated. Then Tuesday morning, I was napping and at 12:30 woke up with a sharp knife like pain seemingly behind my uterus ( I had to dig in to put my finger on it) on the right side between my uterus and my hip bone. This was not a Braxton Hick nor was it a contraction. So I sat up thinking it would just go away. It faded a little and then came back on even stronger....I got worried and started googling "appendicitis" . The description of the pain and where it should be located was the same, but I didn't have any of the other symptoms. I called the Health Link and also my homeopath (She recommended Bryonia and Sepia. I can't remember what Sepia is for but Bryonia is very good for muscles and joints among other things. I actually love taking it before bed, it seems to help me sleep). They did both want me to go get checked out at the hospital. By this time the pain had been increasing for almost 40 minutes, it was even hard to lift up my little boy who of course was looking for lots of attention right at that time.

So I decided to phone my husband at work and let him know that he should maybe come home. He took the bus home while I showered and got ready to go to the hospital. When he got home the pain had subsided substantially but we decided to go anyways. We dropped off D. at a friend's and went to the hospital.... long story short... by the time the actual "doctor" checked me out, the pain was practically gone. HOW FRUSTRATING!! Of course if it was appendicitis, it would have kept increasing, which it had for around an hour and then started decreasing.

Soooo there is a whole lot of nothing going on right now, lol. I still have lots of Braxton Hicks. I feel I have way more with this pregnancy than with the first one. The only difference right now is that Monday I wasn't dilated at all and Tuesday she said I was almost 1cm, lol, youpi.

I feel likethere may have been lots of movement last night , I can feel him coming down. I wouldn't be surprised if I had one more cm by now. I have been cleaning the house like crazy...maybe starting the "nesting" stage, who knows.

Well, that's the news in baby world this morning. I'll keep you posted.
