Yesterday was my last day of work, and it was kind of bittersweet. I am so lucky to be able to stay home with my baby. I thank God for that every day :)
Anyway, now it's all about "optimal delivery date". My husband's family says that anytime on or after next Sunday is perfect. They'll be off in North Carolina getting my sister in law all set for her freshman year of college for most of next week, so hopefully the little one will stick around for another week so that he can meet his grandparents on his birthday! Then again, I'd love for him to come now and get this birth thing over with!
No major contractions yet, I've had a few here and there that hurt - but I think they are more related to stomachaches from eating junk food. Oops ;-) I've had some shooting kinds of pain at night that feel cervix-centered, so hopefully some dilation is occuring too.
A couple of nights ago, I was having a very vivid dream where I was trying to get away from a huge spider. Apparently it was very vivid because I proceeded to roll *over* my husband in my sleep and fall off the bed on his side. No harm to the belly or baby, but I banged my ankle pretty hard on the dresser and it still hurts. It was really strange and kind of freaked out my husband, I'm hoping it doesn't happen again.
Well, we're enjoying our weekend now, and our last likely one without a baby! Holy cow!
