Prankster? (by Jenn)

An update on my health and baby's health:

We are both fine. I went to the doctor on Monday and my dilation had gone down. I am still a bit dilated, but less than last Thursday, which is good. I am also having less contractions. So...I still have to go in on Tuesday next week, and if the dilation goes up again, I will be on definite bed rest. However, I just think that baby is a little prankster and wanted to pretend like he was going to come early.

Other than that, I am just feeling okay. I have been having some other pregnancy side effects that aren't very pretty to talk about on the open internet. I am still having braxton-hicks contractions, and they do hurt, but they are nothing like I was experiencing last week. My back is hurting pretty much on a continual basis, and I only have about two pairs of shoes that fit me anymore.

Here are some of my FAVORITE (sense the sarcasm here) comments I have received recently:
1. You must be ready to pop any second.
2. You are huge.
3. That baby is going to weigh 15 pounds.
4. That baby is going to come out of you already able to drive a car.
5. Are you sure you can fit in line with us?
6. Do they need to check you one more time for twins?
7. July 4th? Are they crazy? That baby is coming any day.
8. Your feet must hurt, you are carrying a lot of weight.

I HAVE 6 MORE WEEKS PEOPLE!
