A Tiny Update

So, things are happening... just not much.

I'm dilated to 2cm, which, as you probably know, means absolutely nothing except that things are starting to gear up. The OB I saw yesterday (not my midwife, or even the OB she consults with) said that the contractions and gastrointestinal issues were probably due to Sprout shifting himself down--apparently he's fully engaged... Butt first. Good kid.

At this point, I'm giving up on him turning, and preparing myself for the fact that this kid will be forcibly removed via cesarean. Not what I wanted, not something I prepared myself for at all, not something I'm happy about, but I can deal. Ultimately, I just want him out safely and happily.

So today, I'm home doing laundry, and trying to conjure the energy to get his room closer to being done (I know, I know). I've also got seven foam pumpkins that need carved at some point, but honestly, I'm so freaking tired that even getting up to switch laundry makes me want to take a nap.

I'm really, really glad I took myself out of work early. I can't imagine getting up at 3:00 AM and being on my feet for five or six hours at this point.

So... I'm going to try to be more interesting later, with pictures of Sprout's room, and some pumpkins, and other random things, but no promises, okay? I may just hibernate for the next ten days, instead.
