No baby yet....

Well, I'm almost 40 weeks along and no baby yet. I, along with my Dr. thought for sure I would've had this baby within the last 2 weeks. The anticipation for Jason & I have been killing us! Not knowing what or when it's going to happen. We don't really even have too much of a plan because there are so many different scenarios. I live 45 mins. away from my hospital, so it'll be interesting to see what happens exactly. I feel really bad and selfish because I wanted to have it last week so badly because Sadee's birthday is this week and I wanted to be home for sure on her birthday. I've been having contractions/braxton hicks for the last 3 months every 12-15 mins for weeks at a time and then they'll stop for a few days and then start back up again. They don't really hurt, but of course they're uncomfortable and definately wear my body out. Friday night at 2am I was awoken by a very strong contraction... and they continued for every 10 mins. They didn't hurt to the point that I wanted to scream, but they hurt. I thought for sure that was going to be the night!! I got up at 5am to start getting ready and they stopped all of a sudden at 6am. I didn't have one that whole entire day. It was soooo weird. So, that was definately a false alarm. Sunday morning though, they started back up.... at every 12-15 mins. And I've had them consistantly since then. They are getting a little stronger, but not much. This morning I got up and got in the shower and felt exhausted and wanted more than anything just to lay down and sleep... but I knew I couldn't cause I had a family to take care of. So i was just talking to Heavenly Father and asking, when the heck is this baby going to come.... and a feeling of comfort just came over me and I felt this feeling that it's just not ready to come yet and I need to be patient and everything will be ok. So for the first time in 3 weeks, I actually feel comfort and peace and not anxiety, anticipation, and stress. I've been told for the last 2 1/2 weeks not to go any places further from the hospital since I already live so far away. Sooo.... since I was told that, I wasn't able to go to my 10 year High School Reunion in Oroville, which is only 40 mins north of me. I was sooooo bummed and just wanted to have some fun this last weekend. But I was way too scared to take the chance. I heard it was fun though and I'm glad it turned out well. Hopefully at the next reunion i won't be pregnant... I'd be 38 years old and Jason would be 42, so I highly doubt it. hahahaha But anyway, so that's what's been going on with us. I've just decided to just keep living life and not think about going into labor. I gotta just have faith that it will all work out, even if I do deliver the baby in the car on I-5! Wouldn't that be an awesome story to tell! ahhahaha! So ya, that's the 411 on the baby. Here's a pic that I got from someone else of everyone at the reunion. It's so crazy how everyone looks so different, yet the same. Hope you all have a great week and I'll keep you all updated on us....
