Ok well, I'm still waiting. Ive been to the delivery ward 2 more times and still no progress by Saturday. I went Friday because of contractions, and got the scare of my life. Milas heart rate was really high and wouldn't come down after two plus hours of resting on the monitor. She was pretty active, so they let me go home and said I had to come back Saturday to monitor it again. Naturally, I was up all night crying and worrying (certainly helping the situation!), so we decided it would be best if I could sleep a bit while Marcus went to work for his half day. We went to the hospital when he got home and things were much better. However, they had noted that my normally very low blood pressure had been a little high the night before, and wanted to re-check that as well. Well, it was still high. I was calm and lying down, but it was high. I don't have any protein in my urine, so its not pre-eclampsia, but I'm still being watched.
I finally got an appointment with the damned midwife out of it, though. We see her tomorrow morning at 7:45 am. Hopefully all is well and baby will be here soon.
I did make some progress Saturday and Sunday, but stop reading now if you don't want to hear icky stuff. I started losing my mucous plug Saturday night. It was one of the grossest things I have ever seen. It was alot, too. I thought that one time was it. Oh, no. There was far more to be found Sunday. If you Google Mucous Plug, you get a picture that someone actually took of theirs. It was a much smaller amount, but still. Who does that?? Well, obviously she does. Hehe. I also have started to lose some fluid, my belly is getting smaller even.
So those two things usually mean alot but I'm not having any of the contractions Ive grown so used to. Hopefully things will get going here soon. I'm very ready to meet my beautiful little baby! I'm scared, too. But I know that's normal and it will be wonderful!
Hopefully within the week I will have an update that includes a birth story!!

Um...GROSS!! Just kidding. Slowly but surely, things are happening!! Very exciting!
Super!! Here in the states they won't let you go more than 3 days without a mucus plug, because there is an increased chance of infection without that barrier between baby and the outside world. It definately won't be long now... matter of fact, you could be having her right this minute!! How sweet and precious. Just a brief update... my brother and sis in law are in Michigan now and have met that couple who's baby has the same heart defect. She had her baby on the 10th and has either had her first surgery or is very close to having it. I still think it's so cool how they hooked up. My bro and sis are scheduled to have laboe induced on the 28th. You are in for quite a treat. Labor and delivery is painful and scary, but at the same time it's facinating. Just go with the flow! Remember, your body was made to do this! I cannot wait to see Lil' Miss Mila!!!!!!
I'm so glad all is well and that your sweet babe is almost here! Can't wait to see pictures! Facebook your address to me please so Todd and I can put together a little something for Mila.
