December 5, 2000

Still no baby here!! I'm getting so tired of all these contractions but no progressing! At my appointment last week, he checked and I haven't dilated at all, nothing, zero!! That's so discouraging. I quit taking my meds a week and a half ago, and the contractions picked back up, but just aren't doing anything. It's a hard waiting game from here, just waiting and waiting. We're walking at the mall again today, Brett is off from work, so I want to get out of the house.

We got our Christmas tree Sunday night. Sidney is so funny, she comes out every morning and does the "ooooh's." She helps rearrange the bulbs around the bottom, I need to get some film and get a picture of her, it's pretty cute. I put her presents under the tree too, she'll try and poke at a couple of them, but so far hasn't tried to open them up! Only three more weeks, I'm getting excited too!!

My day care kids are gone this week, I'm enjoying the little break. The baby is in Florida for two weeks, and the brother and sister have been home with mom. The little girl had some problems with croup and was in the hospital for a few days. But she's fine now. I was hoping to go into labor during this break, then I could just use it as a little maternity leave. I'll try and just take two weeks off when it does happen, but we'll see I guess.

Well, I better go, Sidney just woke up and is grouchy again (like her dad in the morning!!). Happy nursing and HUGS :)
