Something I like about myself:
I can buckle down and get things done when I need to.
I have a tendency to stay almost too cool-headed when I should be panicking.
Something I do well:
I can sort laundry quickly. It's the little things.
I try to let others know when I am thinking about them.
Something that went well today:
Wednesday, the 20th, was my baby's due date. Obviously, she is not here yet. It was a really scary day. I went to the OB, am only dilated to "a tight 2 cm" (I think she was being generous) and my belly "shrank" from 36 cm to 32 cm. I was very concerned. We ended up having an ultrasound last night, with a caveat that if they didn't like what they saw that I would be whisked up to labor and delivery.
We ended up coming home, she looks fine, and is just "a little on the small side." Her weight estimate is 6 lbs 11 ounces, I don't know where they get that this is particularly small as I don't think it's really abnormal for babies to be much bigger than 7 1/2 pounds - but obviously I have never made a baby before. She is proportional so I am not concerned. But now we are more anxious than ever.
Today I just did laundry and tried to be active. I don't know how much being sentient might delay birth - really I don't. But I'm too tired to do a lot of exercise or walking..
Something I am looking forward to tomorrow:
Tomorrow is the full moon. Keep your fingers crossed that she is just waiting for the full moon, and will be joining us this weekend!
