I'm still here. I don't feel that great today, but otherwise have not shown any further signs of progress, though at least I'm still PROGRESSING AT ALL. Random contractions-- though more than yesterday-- and continued pushing from the munchkin. But maybe not feeling well means that things are going to pick up?
Yeah. I know. It's just that I've really finished everything I HAD to do before the baby got here. Now there's still lots of things I COULD do, but still. Why drag it out any longer? Yeah, because maybe he's not ready to come out yet, I know, but I'm just tired of waiting and wondering. And you can't really make any plans when you have no idea what will be happening for the next two weeks!
Well, for the record, today is the first of the possible due dates given by various medical professionals over the course of this pregnancy (not counting the LMP date, which was at the beginning of March and totally wasn't viable. 28 day cycles, whatEVer)-- by the tech at the 18-week ultrasound-- which isn't as accurate, as Megan pointed out recently, as the earlier age-dating ultrasound (which was at 8 1/2 weeks), since it could just indicate a big (or small) baby and not necessarily how DEVELOPED they are-- and in this case, the tech gave us that date, but then gave us the age, and the age lined up with the LATER dates already given. For the record, the first, age-dating ultrasound's tech said April 7. The doctor looked at that ultrasound and couldn't decide between the 9th or 10-- which fits, because according to my charting of cycles (I'd explain exactly where I probably messed up with the birth control, but you probably don't need to know that) that's 40 weeks from what I marked as ovulation, too. And then there's April 11, that mysterious date that has haunted me for many years as being significant but having no particular reason for being such. And any rate, due dates are just averages anyway, but still, April 23 is the very end of it no matter what, so you KNOW, by the time "Heroes" comes back on the air (WHAT is with the huge vacations that show takes, anyway? I miss it. I DREAMT I missed it last night), I will have given birth. God willing, I will HAVE a baby, too. (I'm so afraid of jinxing it. It just seems so unbelieveable....)
Now I have heartburn. Maybe eating something will help.
