Where is this baby?

I woke up yesterday (Wednesday morning) with hardly any contractions - and I felt better than I have in weeks. I don't know of another time when I wished I felt bad. I went from feeling like I was in labor with major contractions to just hanging out with the fam. So, my mom, brother, and Colin all headed to the duck pond and made a couple of laps. It was successful in bringing about a couple of contractions, but those ended after the walk did. We did some shopping, eating, and I put out our halloween decorations. Nothing. Poo! So, now my family is here and Colin didn't do into work, and NOTHING is happening. I went in for a cbc first thing in the morning and my plateltet count was 115. Yay. so hopefully it will just stay high until I have this kiddo. I am really having alot of side effects tonight from the steroids (or I am assuming most are from the steroids). The indigestion/heartburn thing is so yucky. Taking the pill in the morning helps, but anytime I lie down it just really stinks. So, here I am, sitting up in the nursery chair, chewing on tums, drinking some water, and trying to distract myself on the internet. I wish I could Sleep. Or better yet, have some more regular contractions and have this baby!
The pressure is on. I feel like if I don't get this baby out my mom and brother are going to have to head back to louisiana and Colin is planning on being at work starting tomorrow (i hate for him to take all of his time off before his son even arrives!). So, I shall keep you all posted.
By the way, thanks Kristen and Rebekah for updating your blog. I was so excited to have something to read when I got on the computer!
We are planning on going to the firestation in the morning with the St. Gabriels mom's group (this is a wonderful group of stay at home moms from our church who all meet up a couple times a week at playdates and fun activities for the kiddos). So, maybe the fire engines will entice Cooper to come out. If anything, Jackson should enjoy the fun!

  2. Lizard...! I found the comments section. I think Cooper wants to keep it cozy in that beautiful belly of yours until that last second. Tell momma and Daniel I said aloha! We're praying for an epidural in these parts!
