I Feel Like I Talk About Nothing Else....

...and it's probably true.  This pregnancy literally consumes my life.  We had another appointment today, and he's still healthy.  Still having light contractions (though the past few days have been on the stronger side of things), and we are at "a tight 3" and still about 80% effaced.  She says things are moving forward, just much slower than I'd prefer.  Again, my blood pressure was slightly high, and my feet have swollen beyond belief, so she's again taking "pre-eclampsia precautions," which means that they drew some blood to see if we need to speed up nature at all.  We'll find out on Monday what the results are.

In the meantime, in the words from Ocean's 11, we're "waiting, sweetheart, just waiting."

Can't he come out already?? I just would really like to meet him so I can't imagine how you guys must feel:) I don't have any words of advice on being patient (it is not a specialty of mine), so good luck:)
