No, dear, if you’re reading this, I’m not in labor. . . Just reminiscing up here in my bed!
Today is the day gestationally (in my last pregnancy) that Micah was born.
I told Daniel this last night, and he found it disturbing: “Really?! YIKES!”
I thought it was encouraging–a positive thing! I mean, I’m hardly even dilated this time (every woman who has had a baby before is currently 1 cm, right?). And while I am contracting, on progesterone, procardia and bedrest, at least I’m not in the hospital like I was before Micah was born.
I’m not thinking our little girl will make it to her due date (March 6th), but every day from this point on is an “extra” day that she’s growing and developing in the womb, where she belongs right now, instead of in the NICU.
So I have to say, today was a big milestone for Little Boo and me!
Actually, I wasn’t dilated any centimeters until I went into labor–so stay in bed on bed rest for a few weeks longer. I personally have been rejoicing that Micah can say “Grandmom”–and even Daniel says he can, which means it is for certain sure. This is a wonderful milestone and means only Sophia needs to learn to say it now–and I’m working on her.
