Just not ours!
My cousin gave birth on Sunday to a beautiful little girl she named Lilianna. Very pretty name, I think.
I thought I would be going into labor tomorrow.....and the holding of a new baby would push my hormones into gear or something and these two would like to grace the world with their presence.
Ummm...........no. At least not based on information I received today.
We had a doctor's appt. today and he checked for dilation--which by the way is spelled correctly! I am a ZERO. For those of you clueless about the birth process (which I doubt anyone really is, even guys), I need to be at a TEN to get these little ones out. So, unless nature really hurries up, my date of Feb. 22nd will come and go.
He was otherwise pleased with my progress. It is great for women to get this far with a multiple pregnancy....and every day they stay in there they get stronger and bigger. But even he said if I had not progressed more by next week, then we would be scheduling an induction--which is SO not the way I wanted to do this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they have found my womb a great place to live, but now is the time for them to come out! 36 weeks is considered full term for twins--and next week they will be considered full term for singletons. Sigh. I am usually pretty darn "in tune" with my body, so this has thrown me for quite a loop.
So, I am not restricted from anything anymore. Mopping, vacuuming, heavy cleaning, hell--even bowling--BRING IT ON! Today I ate Indian food (yum!) for lunch, but now I am suffering the heartburn of it.
Alrighty, off to run a marathon............
Yes, I am kidding. Come on people.......cross your fingers for me that I go into labor SOON!
