WAITING

Waiting has never been harder. I have been having contractions for over a month and was on partial bed rest ending work sooner than anticipated. Contractions have continued sending us to the hospital twice for false alarms. I have even had contractions every 3-4 minutes for hours. Not very fun since they haven't lead to much progression in getting closer to delivery. Currently I am 1 cm and have no signs of effacement (which is backward from a few weeks ago). Having false alarms has gotten grandma and grandpa Ficht up here and ready for Noah's arrival. Bedding is made, curtains in process, house clean, and gardening up to date. So patience is a virtue that we are all learning. I am currently 38 weeks and 1 day, so Noah is full term. Noah is healthy and so am I and that's whats important. We will post a picture as soon as I figure out how with our new camera.
