I lost my mucous plug this morning. It was a nasty little bugger, or should I say BIG bugger? We went to a dinner party last night and I was having some contractions and big movement from the baby while sitting at the table. I think all the activity has opened me up some more and jarred it loose. Or maybe it was from my internal exam yesterday. Although the exam didn't feel nearly as uncomfortable as the first one, I guess it still could have irritated things. Either way, I lost it.
I'm 1cm dilated, 50% effaced and at -2 station. My OB was saying that my body is reacting to this pregnancy much more like it were a second pregnancy rather than a first. That's wonderful for me because hopefully things will run smoothly for the natural birth. We got back the results from my Strep B test and it was negative. Hooray! That means I get to labor longer at home and I don't have to get a Heparin Lock when I get to the hospital. No tubes or IV's for me. I get free movement!!!
My mother-in-law threw my last baby shower this past Saturday. It was so much fun and I was really impressed with the job she did. Hardly anything was bought off of the registry because almost everything was purchased from the registry at the last two showers. It was a fun surprise to see what people came up with on their own. Chris' friend is an OB nurse and she put together a mommy goody basket with a Sitz bath and Tucks Pads. I was so excited. The day you open a Sitz bath and Tucks Pads are are elated about it is a day when you know your life is changing!
My body is doing great, Dino has everything he needs, and his room is ready. Now we just need a baby...
