... but still no baby sister. oh well- oblivion is good at this point! for now, cole has discovered the joys of yo-j and wearing auntie sarah's shoes. not at the same time, of course.
his first taste of yo-j... wildberry! yummm. i added milk to thin it out a bit... still good, i guess!
SO pleased with the new drink. what a grin!
sarah and chase came over for a little while in the afternoon and evening... any time there are shoes left on the floor, cole will play with them. this time, he decided to try to wear them, just like auntie sarah does. he had the right idea and before long, was slipping them on like a pro.
he was so proud of himself for being able to walk in them, he had to give himself a round of applause (with auntie sarah clapping along). who knew shoes could be SO MUCH FUN!!!
meanwhile, all's quiet on the "baby front". beyond frustrated, i had a bit of a breakdown yesterday... i was determined to take this all in stride, but couldn't stop the tears after yet another day of timing contractions to no avail. tomorrow is our appointment with dr h, and hopefully we can get a little help in moving things along. if everything's right, we could have an amniotomy, or i'm even open to the idea of cervadil... NO PITOCIN, though... that's not happening again. i don't think i'll have to argue my case too hard, as dr h was surprised enough to see us last week, never mind this week. we have a late afternoon appointment, so that means waiting all day, but really, i've got nothing better to do. lol. i think that to be on the safe side, i'm going to pack a bag for cole and throw the last-minute stuff into my bag just in case we end up getting admitted... better to be safe than sorry. what's the worst that could happen- we end up going home instead? at least we'll be prepared, just in case... like i said, i don't think we'll have to twist dr h's arm too much to request a little nudge. oh, and apparently, dr h had a little excitement this weekend... someone broke into his house, armed, with no intent of robbing the place. from what people are saying, he and his son did a number on the guy, sending him to jail with a stop at the er on the way. i can't picture him beating up a guy that bad, but i guess given the circumstances... we're really relieved that he's ok, since we like our dr!!

GOOD luck tomorrow Linds! We're hoping for the best for you. It's about time you get to meet that little princess!! If we don't hear from you tomorrow night. We know shes coming or here. Hugs to you all and miss u!
Just a word of caution...I was a doula for a woman who had to be administered pitocin after she had her amniotomy because her body wasn't ready to labor and had to be helped along once the process was irreversibly started. One intervention almost always leads to another...just so you know. Try to be patient. If anyone understands, I do, having had a baby almost 3 weeks after his due date...and he's just fine. I'll tell you what my care providers kept telling me, "It's not going to stay in there forever...we promise! It'll come when it's ready."

thanks for the info, audrey- i'll keep that in mind. hopefully it won't be too much longer... i've been running on 2-3 hours of sleep a night for the last month and half, which is why i'm a bit desperate for things to get moving... :)
What makes you think you'll get more sleep once the baby arrives?!!
;)
Audrey
ok, how about a little sleep that is WAY more comfortable... i sure HOPE i'll get more than 2 hours per night even with the feedings!
