is it over yet?

I am really tired of being pregnant. I am still not feeling well most of the time but I can't think about it because there is so much other stuff to do during the day. Maybe thats why people say each pregnancy gets better, because you don't have time to know that it isn't better. I am now going to the Dr. weekly, or at least I would be if they hadn't screwed up my last 2 appointments. I have to call about the rest of the appointments I have already scheduled to make sure they have all of them. The Dr. checked me yesterday and I am 1 cm and 50% effaced. That doesn't sound like a lot to me right now. I always hope that when I go in to be checked the Dr. will say, "you are 5 and need to go to the hospital" but that never happens...too bad. I asked the Dr. to strip my membranes while I was there but she said she couldn't until the results of the test she took yesterday came back, bummer, I have to wait until next week for that one. I have been having a lot of contractions the past week or so. Sometimes every 10 min for a few hours at a time, but they don't seem to get much closer together and thus I can't go to the hospital. I have been throwing up in my sleep again recently, most recently last night. When that happens I have to go sleep on the couch in a semi upright position for a few hours so I don't wake up coughing and gagging. Yesterday on top of everything else I had a migraine. The screaming children were not helpful. But I made it though the day and, once again, didn't go into labor. I guess that's all for my complaining post, at least it doesn't last forever, although it seems like it...3 years is a long time. Time to go put Kate down for a nap, and maybe do some coloring with Aidan, who is singing in his room right now. I think he is trying for the ABC's.

I can't say that I can relate; I can't, but I do want to tell you thank you for carrying my grandchilren and doing such a great job as their mom. Hang in there; this one is almost over!

Love,
Kathy (aka a lot of other monikers)
