Yesterday was my due date. I started it off with a trip to the Midwives and got encouraging news. I was dilated to 3 cm. and she said my cervix was very soft and ready to go at any time. All day yesterday I had contractions. The contractions were painful at times, but they were always on the borderline. They never quite got to that accordion squeeze stage.
I spent yesterday running last minute errands and working on projects. I kept laughing at all of the people who, when they found out it was my due date, exclaimed, "what are you doing out shopping?!" As if I should be home laying on the couch just waiting for this baby to come. The thing that made me laugh the most was that I went to renew my license and as I plopped down into the chair to take my picture I thought, "I wonder how many women would take their license picture when they are 9 months pregnant?"
Last night I was so convinced that I was going to have this baby and then the contractions stopped. Frustrating! I guess I should just look at it as more time to get things done, and I always need more time! I'll try and get some pictures up of the cute things I've been working on sometime today.
