Not too much to say, just waiting one more day to meet our newest baby boy. I had my doctor&#8217;s appointment today and everything is good. I&#8217;m still dilated to two, all the way through. She said she could feel the baby&#8217;s head! She &#8220;stripped my membrane&#8221; which is basically a really gross way of saying that she sort of separated what&#8217;s going on inside my uterus from the opening of the cervix.\u00a0 <em>Stripped&#8230;my&#8230;membrane&#8230;<\/em>hmmmm, that does sound nasty.\u00a0 Sounds like something straight out of horror movie, like out of all the ways people are &#8220;offed&#8221; in those movies, getting your membrane stripped is the one way you don&#8217;t want to go. &#8220;Look out behind you! Run! Jason\/Micheal\/Freddie is about to strip your membrane!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so it sounds way worse than it actually is&#8230;the purpose of this is to possibly stimulate the onset of labor and, so far, has been completely unsuccessful, boo for me. I do have good news though, I just saved a bundle on my insurance by switching to Geico. Just kidding, sorry, all these fake contractions are making me delirious. Really, the good news is that we will be having our little guy on Thursday, that is confirmed. They&#8217;ll be\u00a0calling me in sometime after seven in the morning. Yes, tomorrow will be the last day of this, my\u00a0very last pregnancy. Bittersweet.\u00a0I will certainly spend some time alone with my belly, taking\u00a0mental pictures and putting them into my &#8220;Forever Memory&#8221; book, as my mama would put it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Ya&#8217;ll, just checking in like I said I would.
