An uneventful weekend

Well...we made it through the weekend and still no baby yet. Saturday night we went back to the hospital because I thought I was leaking fluid again, but it turns out that I wasn't. Even though I felt silly going back to the hospital again, I knew that we had to get it checked out for the safety of the baby. I am Group B Strep positive, which is just a normal bacteria that some women have, but it could cause a serious infection in the baby. So its important for me to be on antibiotics as soon as I go into labor to prevent infection in the baby, that's why I am nervous about my water breaking and not knowing it, because once my water breaks there is no barrier between the baby and the outside world. The nurses told me that sometimes it can be very hard to tell if your water has broken or not, so that made me feel better, and they reassured me that I should definitely come back again if I thought I was leaking, and that I shouldn't feel silly about it. So it was just another practice run, but at least we when have to go for the real thing we will know exactly where to go and what to do. I feel sorry for Patrick, because I have definitely been more than a little cranky lately. I've just been very discouraged about the whole situation. I guess its probably because I know that if she doesn't decide to come before my due date, I have to wait another week before my doctor will induce me. Work has become almost unbearable because of the amount of discomfort I am in not to mention the fact that I can hardly sleep at all. I didn't go to work today, because I didn't sleep at all last night, and when I got out of bed this morning my hips hurt so bad that I couldn't walk normally. Everyone that I know that has had a baby recently has been induced before their due date. So I'm feeling a little bitter knowing that I will have to wait until I'm 41 weeks, before I will be induced. This is why I am trying every possible thing to get my labor started. Saturday when we were at the hospital I was 1 cm dilated and the nurse said she could feel the babies head. So she is right there just waiting to come out and I am more that ready for her to be here. I know that I am making it sound horrible, but to those that have been pregnant before, you understand where I am coming from. I am a pretty independent person, so the fact that Patrick has to help me do almost everything is seriously annoying, not to mention the fact that I can't do most things at work by myself either. I look forward to being able to get out of a chair or put my shoes on by myself almost as much as I'm looking forward to holding our little girl. I'm trying my hardest to be patient, but being uncomfortable constantly is really starting to get old. Especially when I start having contractions, so I get my hopes up, and then the contractions go away. That is really annoying. Tonight we are going for our tour of the hospital, maybe after that, Ainsley will decide that she is ready to come and meet her family. I will say that I am looking forward to my family being here, its been awhile since I have seen them and I'm missing them a lot. Its been about 2 months since I was last in Fort Worth, so it will be great to have everyone here to meet Ainsley.
