What can I say? And would you want to hear it?

It has recently occurred to me that I may come off as ANNOYING to some people with my updates on my pregnancy. That some people are of the mind that you should just keep your trap shut until after your due date and then you can really wish your baby were here. All I know, is that I waited patiently for Scarlett and still ended up with a C section, which I don't call a happy ending.... so I am just trying to do my best here to be optimistic.

I ran into a friend of mine who was due the week before me, and saw her sweet little boy at the block Halloween party tonight. Her baby is so sweet, tiny, and loveable, and not inside her belly anymore! Will admit, smidge jealous. :)

So, if you are annoyed with my updates, don't read them. Easy enough right? But, that might be why I have shut up for a few days, I hate to be a nuisance.

Last night, I was having steady contractions, a lot of which were like 5 mins apart, so I thought to myself: this is it! We packed up Scooby, and met Rita at the hospital and she took Scooby back home for us, at 1am... I got checked, was 3cm and 50% effaced still, just like when I was checked at the OB that day. They had me lay there for an hour and then came back and checked me, and said there was no progress, so I should go home. Was a bummer, but now I know I will NOT be going to the hospital until I am on the verge of death with contractions, or my water breaks, and that none of the doctors seem to think that we should even think about induction until Friday if I haven't had the baby yet.

I'm hoping not to lose Rita back to UT before the baby arrives, though My Mom says that she will help me to arrange to have some help from some of my fam as I need it with the baby, no matter when she comes. That is reassuring.

I will post Halloween pics/post tomorrow, assuming nothing happens and the baby still isn't here by tomorrow.
