4/20/2016 - 4/21/2016

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!
