38 1/2 weeks.....

well since i've been ditched tonight for basketball and have nothing else to do i guess i'll update the blog haha.

so let's just start with how MISERABLE i am. with my my last 2 babies i already have a week old baby...so this is torture to me. with ryder and skylee i was induced at 37 weeks.

and here is the story with jaylene..she was only 4 days early so i was full term BUT i was not miserable haha. i went into labour on my own (which is alot nicer than being induced) but it wasn't normal.
it was a saturday night and we were at a 50th wedding anniversary party (my doctor had stripped my membranes about 3 days prior) we were out dancing and having fun. you know the whole having to pee every 10 min, well i went pee and kinda felt like i couldn't close my legs....nothing major and that's it. i mentioned it to michele (jason's sister) and she said we better go and get checked "just in case." by this time it was about 10 pm. and good old cardston emerg was PACKED...more than i have ever seen (still to this day) the nurses kinda brushed me off and put me on the back burner...BUT my mother in law was VERY persistant to get me check NOW. sooo.....the checked (3 different nurses) and i was 5 cm dialated....but felt nothing. they debated on whether i should head to lethbridge where my doctor was, but again we were persistant to go so we did....i got there about midnight and was at 6 cm and they hooked me up the moniters and i didn't feel my contractions at all. silent labour! so we just kinda hung out...i think there was about 10 of us haha. we did laps and squates to try and help things along but everything kind of stopped, and because it was at night they don't call the doc in unless someone is giving birth. nothing was really happening so my dad got a big hotel room and everybody but a few people went to try and get some sleep.  well then my neighbor started having her baby so my doc was called in and she broke my water...then things moved right along and 45 min jaylene was born. that's it...

that's all i have to compare "going into labour" with. so now what??? it makes me grumpy.... i have no idea what to expect...i've never timed contractions, or had my water break, or for that matter had braxton hicks, so how in the heck am i supposed to know when it's go time.

and then i think i can do a week and a half more...but then in the back of my head theres that 2 week overdue thing and THEN i get even more grumpier. i feel useless...my poor skylee hardly gets anything from me and that makes me sad cuz she's only the baby for a little longer but ...i can barely lift her, barely get out of bed in the morning.....i know, i know poor me, but it is my blog haha.

i have these STUPID pregnancy pupps....(google it) they SUCK, mine aren't as bad as the pictures on google but they are not fun.

my back is completly out of whack and i never got it fixed so adding the baby makes it just grand!! and i have this groin/pelvic pain that is another pain in my butt! if i sit for longer than 10 min i look like an 80 year old woman trying to get up haha....and bedtime, oh my, karim has totally given up on me and trying to sleep in the same bed hahaha. turning over, it's quite funny (if your not me)

anyway, that's all the poor me stuff, but beleive me when i say i am not having another baby for about 3-4 years!! my body could not stand it, and i think my hubby might leave me. my dad makes jokes about how i'm "accidentally" gonna get prego and i told him to stop thinking that way cuz if i do he's gonna end up with my 4 kids, 1 crazy husband and i'll be checking myself into ponoka.

so i've been rambling lol i tend to do that, here is what happening now.....i saw my doctor yesturday and she stripped my membranes...i was only 1 cm (depressing) and my cervix is open. so if that works it'll work in the next couple of days (which i'm not fond of cuz my doc is
not on call but oh well) if not, then i see her again next week! blah! 

so that my friends is the update!! not very positive and not very fun lol, so sorry if i depressed you.
