It’s so nice to have doctor friends. Last night my friend Lisa, who is a neonatologist, and therefore extremely qualified for things like this, told me I could have the beer. So I had the beer. And it was very, very good.
In other news, I just went to my 39 week doctor appointment (well, 39.5) and I had both doctors in my group betting on when I’ll have this fool baby. One says Sunday, one thinks it won’t be until next Tuesday. I almost said “care to make it interesting?” and took out 20 bucks…but I didn’t. I’m only 1-2 cm dilated, with a softening cervix (that the doc poked around in, trying to get labor going). Stewart came with me this time, and he was a little freaked out by all the blood that came out after that, but the doc said it’s normal, and to me it wasn’t any different than what happens monthly, but Stewart had never actually SEEN that before, so he came away a bit lightheaded. The doc laughed and said “just WAIT!”
So glad you had the beer! It may just relax you enough now so you will begin to dialate more. I think Stew needs to have the beer after witnessing your appointment yesterday. Good for him for going to the appt! Greg and I are wishing you all the best this week! My vote is for Monday. I have a good feeling about that day. Just pack your bags tonight, just in case:-)
Now you’ve done it! YOU GAVE HIM FREE BEER! HE’S A GUY! HE WON”T GET IT FOR ANOTHER 21 YEARS WHEN HE LEAVES YOU! He’s not coming out for awhile now – eeeeesh!
I’m going out to get a beer.
That “fool” baby better come by Wednesday night. T’sall I’m saying.
