Yep, I’m still pregnant.
Woke up at 2 this morning when Hugga hollered that she had barfed in her bed. We were up for another hour to get cleaned up — Huz took her room, I took her into the shower. Took ages for me to get the barf out of her hair, get the knots combed, and send her back to bed. Asked her a million times if she felt yucky, if she felt like barfing again, and she said she was fine.
We had a doctor’s appointment at 8AM. I got out of bed at 6 to pack Hugga’s lunch and dial into a meeting. She got out of bed on her own at 6:30 but complained that she was still tired. We had to send her to school about an hour and a half earlier than usual to make our doctor’s appointment, and I felt awful about it. Under any other circumstance, she would’ve stayed home with us. As soon as she got to school, the teachers laid down a cot for her so she could rest a little longer.
Made it to the doctor’s on time.
I’m now 37 weeks and 6 days, 2-3 centimeters dilated, 80% effaced — about the same stats and 5 days past my progress on the day Hugga was born. Doc said it could be any day now, possibly today.
When we got home, I called the preschool to check on Hugga, thinking she would’ve been back to normal after a rest. Director said, “That’s funny, I was just about to call you because she tossed her cookies again.” I told her the details of our doctor’s appointment and asked if we should pick her up. The director assured me she was okay there — she said everyone at school knows our situation, a bunch of kids are out with the same bug, the teachers are taking extra care of her today, it’s better that she stays and not get me sick for the time being, and WEEEE, maybe we’ll have a baby today!
Huz has to work at 2 and has already turned in the “false alarm” card earlier this week. I called back and told the director that unless anything were to change (if she were to toss her cookies again or if I were to go into labor), we’d pick up Hugga at 1.
Baby Jones, you have until 1 PM to decide if today is your birthday. If you haven’t decided by then, I beg you to wait until tomorrow.
