Well, my due date came and went. It was the 17th of May and it is now the 20th (or will be in a few short minutes). I just got home from a night of bowling. I had maybe one painful contraction, but man my hips are so sore! There’s a full moon out tonight, so we’re hopeful *something* will happen. I have a midwife appointment, tomorrow afternoon. I was ~3 cm dilated, 50% effaced and his head was at -2 station, last Thursday. I’m hoping he’s made some progress in his descent to my birth canal. I don’t really have any faith that dilation means anything, though, so if she says I’m 4 cm, I’ll probably just shrug it off. I want him to be lower (I think he is) and I sort of want to get some more painful contractions. Come on, uterus, squeeze this kid out! I probably won’t be updating much in the next few weeks, but I’ll be sure to announce my son’s arrival eventually. Please send some good vibes\/prayers to us. Be safe, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
