I Believe In My Body

I'm so tired. I was having contractions last night, but
eventually I was able to sleep through them. I've never
heard of a woman that missed the birth of her baby because
she slept through the contractions. I just had to tune
them out. I managed to get a good solid 5 hours, but I'm
still dragging ass. After I'm done here I'm going to lay
down. Helena went to lay down because Kiki woke her up at
6am (better her than me) and Kiki is obviously about to
pass out on the couch, so I'll do the same.

I called my Dr. this morning to see what he wants to do
with me. He's in Labor and Delivery today, which would
make it a great day to have a baby (if Keenan would
cooperate). I'm waiting for him to check his messages and
return my call. We were taking the wait and see approach
as of Friday. His rationalization being I wouldn't go past
the weekend, but here it is Monday and I'm still very much
pregnant with a child that's getting bigger every day. I'm
crossing every crossable appendage on my body that they
are way off on his weight. I want to have him vaginally,
but that gets risky when babies get over a certain weight.
Naval Hospital is very conservative and I worry they're
going to dilly-dally me right into an elected c-section
when that isn't what I want. I'd rather suck it up and
take the induction over the give-up approach of throwing
my hands up and scheduling a c-section.

I believe in my body. My body knows what to do. (my mantra)

I keep telling myself that, because it's true and it makes
me feel better. I desperately need a nap...Ciao.
