I got my second 'let's induce labor ' foot massage (that was AMAZING) with mom again yesterday. I was hoping the one last Saturday would be the last one....not that I don't like the pampering...but a baby would be so much better! We live within 2 miles of at least 2 little cheapo massage places and I'm really hoping I don't end up there again next Saturday! I told Andrew that every Saturday that I'm not snuggling Elliot I'm hittin' it up.
Anyway, we got them at 3 and I started getting stronger contractions during the massage. We went on a couple of errands then went home and Andrew and I took up mom's offer of going on (hopefully) one last date before Miss Elliot got here and went to dinner. When we got there we started timing the contractions because they were starting to hurt. They were 2-3 minutes apart the whole dinner and getting more and more painful but I was trying to not get my hopes up since this uterus has burned me before.
We decided to go home after dinner and figure out if we should call the midwife, etc. I did just to see what she thought and she recommended getting into a hot bath to see if they stayed strong or got lighter.
Of course they got lighter and started tapering. I kept having pretty uncomfortable ones until we went to bed around 11 but they weren't as frequent and I was able to actually sleep. SO....long story short. False labor. Glad I didn't go in to L&D. However, now I see myself delivering in a car since my uterus is crying wolf. I may not believe labor when it comes for real!
I go back to the midwife on Wednesday so we shall see what she says! Andrew and I were talking about how we just want to see her little face so bad! I just want to see her and know that she is healthy and start learning her little personality.
Compared to this pregnancy and the adoption, Griff wins the award of easiest child to get into our arms!
