Still pregnant. I woke up this morning early at like 1 and needing a snack so I went downstairs to get one and hoped that I could get contractions to start since I was sitting up but I got nothing. So of course I was a bit frustrated and was praying and the only thought/impression I got was that I should go to bed. Which of course wasn't what I was hoping for. But I went to bed and got another several hours of good sleep. So despite the unproductive (labor wise) night, I got a good sleep which I am thankful for. I woke up this morning and had a good cry (emotional breakdown) to Andrew about it all. It felt good just to vent a little. And of course afterwards when I had gotten it all out of my system I could feel the spirit calm mine and I started to see all the things I could be thankful for about these last few days - the tender moments with Andy, the good conversations with my sister, the feelings of love I had for my already born children (at least they had the good sense to come out -jk) etc.
So my strategy for today is to ignore the fact that every day since Friday I have had a day full of regular contractions that amounted to nothing in the end. I am going to play reverse Psychology on the baby and pretend I don't care if I stay pregnant forever. Maybe that will work. :) But at least I am consistent - Lyman DD +2, Corilynn DD +3, and baby #3 DD +4 or more. This goes against my grain a little. I'm pretty sure I don't enjoy being pregnant and that my body doesn't either but apparently I am wrong. My body is holding on to dear life to this one. I'm in a better place now than I was a few hours ago about it all so that is a blessing. We will keep this updated as to when (and if) this baby decides to grace us with his/her presence.
