OB Appt.

I've been having 30 second contractions about 6-15 minutes apart since 2:30am. I finally got about 2 hours of sleep right before I had to go to my baby appointment. I am 90% effaced and a "very loose" 2cm dilated now according to the doc. YAY! She said she'd be shocked if I made it another week. Sounds good to me :) I am going to take a pre-nap before my real nap with the boys. I am freakin' tired and my contractions seem to be giving me a little break so I'm going to take advantage and get some rest.

Yay!!!I was induced with both pregnancies and only 50% effaced,so that's great news!!Hopefully that means your labor won't be very long since your effaced already!Thanks for the updates :)Drink lots of fluids so that when you do go into labor you won't be feeling dehydrated.I think
i had about 10 grape popsicles with Ember's labor.I was sooo thirsty & they wouldn't let me drink anything...only ice chips & popsicles!

YAY! Thanks, Brit... that gives me hope. I've been chugging water for 2 days. I just can't get enough. I think that's also why I suddenly gained another 4lbs. I hadn't gained any weight for weeks. I'm thinking I might be swelling a bit. I loooove water right now :) I'm totally smuggling in healthy snack since they also only provide you with those 3 measly meals a day :P

I shall spend all of my time pacing and smoking cigars in hopes that this sort of old-fashioned waiting room behavior helps things along.

Seriously though, I'll keep on thinking about you and checking back for the exciting news!

aww! I hope the dr is right! You hang in there. You know what brings on labor...I won't say it..but you know what I mean! Oh, this is what helped for me I held a baby! It's the god honest truth and I think it works. I held my neighbors baby and went into labor later that night. My friend Lindsay held Haley and went into labor the next day. Do you know any babies you can hold? haha

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
