Still here! :)
It feels like forever since my due date, and I can hardly believe it's only 2 days ago! I am also kind of surprised to be sitting here at almost midnight (naughty!) on December 15th, with no baby and still NO signs of impending labour!!! I am not sure what to expect now!
Tomorrow is a date I like! :) December the 16th just sounds pretty to me (I've liked that date for ages since a good friend of mine from primary school has a birthday that day). Even numbered dates feel "nice" to me for some weird reason, lol! I like it MUCH better than the 14th or 18th. In France they have "fete" days based on people's names. My fete day is December 16th. On people's fete days they give gifts - I am hoping for a SPECIAL present tomorrow on my French fete day! :) I can't believe it will be THURSDAY already tomorrow, and almost the end of the week! On the plus side, that means I've nearly made it through a week with Neil at work! And hopefully I will not be too burnt out by the end of it and then go into labour right at the peak of my burn-out!
The boys watched The Tigger Movie AGAIN this morning. We really have hardly any DVDs - most of their old ones got too scratched and we hadn't replaced them. They wanted to see it though, so it was okay. But I'm almost out of things for them to watch already! :S I used the time to doze in and out on the sofa on my side. I did feel better for it today! They were VERY difficult behaviour-wise this afternoon, which was not fun, but I think I just mainly need an attitude adjustment. If I get the "oh well, let's just get on with the day as though I'm not expecting a baby!" mindset, things go more smoothly and I perk up and have energy I wasn't aware of, enough to make meals and so on with cheerfulness.
I've had the same tiny bit of mucus plug late morning again, just like yesterday, but nothing since. Having pretty strong Braxton Hicks this evening, and Samuel is squirming away in there which makes the pressure almost overwhelming. It almost feels like he's going to PRESS his way out with his head, the way he's moving! But no labour yet, no contractions or even crampiness as such. No change. Hopefully it won't be much longer! Samuel has had hiccups quite a few times today, mostly during the evening when he has been pretty active. He's wiggling and pressing away as I type this, and I'm so tired now so I really must go to bed. I'll update again tomorrow no doubt, even if it's like this - to say there's no news again!
