Hannah was due on Tuesday, it's Thursday, so I guess that means she's over due. Now I realize that due dates mean nothing, but I never imagined she'd go past her due date. Her sister was a weeks early, second babies tend to be earlier than the first, not later. I guess she operates on her own time. :)
I had an appointment with my midwife yesterday. I asked her to check me because I had a lot of moderate contractions on Monday night and thought I was in early labor (obviously I wasn't). She said I was 1.5 centimeters and 85% effaced. Again, I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I'll take it. I look at it as when I am in labor I only have to dilate 8.5 cm and efface another 15%. Works for me. She again confirmed that Hannah is super low and engaged which is awesome! It's just a matter of time and patience at this point. While I'm ready to get this kid out, K is hoping for Saturday. He really wants a St. Patrick's Day baby,
I am definitely getting a bit stresses about MG's birthday party. We've decided that of Hannah isn't here by the end of the weekend we are going to postpone it. I really don't want to do that but I have to be practical here. I know it seems like with so much family near us we would have lots of help. Unfortunately that isn't true. My family is very small compared to K's and is mostly make up of kids (we're outnumbered). It's also mostly men. I have two aunts but they aren't available to help. I have one sister close by but she has 3 kids under 7 and a husband who works 2 jobs. Other than that it's men. Not to mention they all have full time jobs. K's family is HUGE! However, my MIL and I have a very strained relationship...and she's the type of person who takes over rather than helping and creates more work for me. I've tried many times with her and have finally learned that it's just not worth it. The rest of the family doesn't help because of the strained relationship I mentioned above. It's a really ridiculous situation. I've gotten used to doing things on my own and I've come to like it. It's just easier.
We also finally decided on a middle name for Hannah, Clare, Hannah Clare. What do you think?
Now for fun I think I'll leave you with a few pictures of my little peanut.
Kiddo loves her food!
Drinking milk like a big girl. She didn't like it though and threw it on the floor, spit the milk out and crawled over to get her water cup.
Beautiful girl!
