And Yet Another Prego Update

Yes, I am still pregnant. So I got to go to my sister's wedding. It was a beautiful experience and I am so happy that I got to witness it. That night at the wedding dinner I started having mild contractions. We went home and went to sleep. I woke up around 2:00 am with mild, steady contractions that were 3 minutes apart. I went for a walk with Talmage and then we went to the hospital. Walked some more and then checked in. My sister and brother were at home watching the Heber and Hannah

My contractions where long enough but grew farther apart and less consistent, 4 to 7 minutes apart. . They didn't grow stronger. They sent us home. That was good because I was getting so tired and really wanted to go to sleep

I had a couple strong contractions after getting home. I had mild contractions all day long about 7 to 15 minutes apart. After sitting around all day I was getting so mentally exhausted from just waiting and doing nothing. I decided to go to my sister's reception. While there, I swing danced, walked, skipped, hopped around the church building and climbed a small hill or two.

On the way home, I had a few strong contractions and was hopeful that I would be having the baby that night.

When I woke up the next morning I felt so good and rested. I had no contractions. Decided to go to church. After church we went and visited a couple of different friends in our neighborhood. Talmage rubbed my feet in the pressure point spots that induce labor. I had some contractions but then nothing.

I was so mentally exhausted from so much anticipation. I am so anxious to have my little girl and can't wait to see her.

This morning we went to the doctors office and they stripped my membranes. (Talmage and I both hate how that sounds). I've had cramps, but no contractions. Now I am just cleaning and waiting but feel calm and hopeful, not as antsy as I was feeling yesterday and the day before.
