Baby update....

We've had a few interesting days here around the Duckworth house... I thought I'd let you all know what's been going on:-) Here's the series of events in the past days...

Thursday night: woke up with cramping pains, severe lower back pain, and A LOT of pressure

Friday: same as Thursday night.... I kept telling everyone at school it felt like Brady was going to fall out!

Friday night: a few more cramps, but back pain increased (starting to think Brady is on a nerve!)

Saturday: contractions 15 minutes apart, then 10 minutes apart, and then 6 minutes apart! This went on for a few hours. I was convinced I was going to the hospital this night. Once I laid down, all contractions stopped.... ahh! False labor!

Sunday: walked the neighborhood 6 times trying to induce labor on my own.... just a few contractions after walking, nothing major

I am still having extreme back pain all the way from my lower back down the back of my leg on the left side. I am convinced that Brady is on my sciatic nerve! Everybody at school says I'm waddling, but it's because it hurts to walk with this back pain:-)

So, I go tomorrow for my 39 week doctor appointment..... I am going to beg them to induce me! I bought some castor oil on Saturday, but after researching it on the internet- I am too nervous to take it. Don't want to put Brady in any stress.

Thank goodness that school is cancelled tomorrow b/c of this flood. It about killed me to walk around school today with my back.

I keep telling myself.... THIS IS ALL SOOOOOO WORTH IT!!!!!! I am dying to hold and love my baby boy. I'm ready to get this show on the road:-)
