Still here

I'm still here - and all I want to do is complain. I'm so sick of the contractions, and I really don't think I'm making any more progress - I guess I'll find out in the morning. My belly and back are killing me, and I can't keep any food in my system. I'm very physically uncomfortable, too. Baby is still moving well - I just really wish I could move on to the next stage already.

Today I'm baking cookies . . . trying to make my Grandma's chocolate streudels and rollies . . . we'll see how I do! It is the first time I'm doing this on my own! I just wish I felt better today. I'm trying to decide if I should go meet some friends for a "girl's night out" dinner - not sure I'm feeling up to it, though.

He will be here before you know it, think of it this way- try to enjoy the last few day/days you have with a quiet house! No? Okay yeah that probably didn't help one bit but I just wanted you to know I am thinking about you constantly.

I'm thinking about you bunches, too!!! It will be here before you know it. :) I definitely feel your pain, though...you're talking to someone who baked an almost 12 pounder at 38 weeks!! Good luck and I look forward to your updates.

How did the cookies turn out? Hoping you get some good news today that you are progressing. He will be here soon, and every day he isn't is actually better for you both. Hugs, I'm sure it sucks to be having contractions and not being able to keep anything down and not have a baby yet.

Chele - the cookies came out pretty good - they didn't quite taste like Grandma's though . . . I'm going to have to keep playing around with them. I have a few ideas for how I would do them differently the next time. I didn't get to make the 2nd kind of cookie yesterday, so I might experiment with that tonight if I start feeling better.
