Sleep: up 2-3 times, sometimes 4-5 times to use the bathroom and get comfortable

 What I miss: Jersey Mike’s, I thought I would have been able to have my Ham and Cheese on Wheat bread by now L

Cravings: apple juice

Symptoms: Still swelling in my hands and feet, and ready to see our little girl!

Best Moment this week:  We thought we were getting admitted on Friday night to have the baby. I started having contractions Friday at work and they were consistently 5-10minutes apart. I called and went to the doctor and they checked and said I was 2 cm dilated and wanted me to go to the hospital around 5, we thought we were getting admitted to meet our little girl. When we got to the hospital they checked me in, and sent us to triage. They hooked me up to the monitor and I was having contractions, but when the doctor came to see me he said I was still only 2 cm and wasn’t in active labor.  So they sent me home to wait. I have had contractions all weekend, but still no baby yet; they aren’t as consistent as they were on Friday.   Doctor’s appointment on Wednesday coming up.
