Longer update:
- Cervix isn't close (50% effaced, 1 cm dilated, baby -2)
- Dr. Wonderful seems to be ok with waiting - although he would prefer we didn't have a blood pressure issue.
- He wants an update after my midwife appointment on Tuesday
- He doesn't like the cohoshes - esp. blue. He does recommend nipple stimulation
- B/p hasn't gotten worse and I seem to have less swelling - my OB thinks the bed rest is working.
- After bugging him a bit, he said a daily 10 minute walk would be ok. Woo-hoo!!
I just read this to Brad. He seems to think I am being a snob about the icky pregnant people. What do you think?
Now, since I probably shouldn't have the glass of wine, I am going to calm my mind with some ice cream instead. Ben & Jerry's coffee, I think.

Just wanted to say I've been following along and it sure sounds like you're in great hands. What a team you created for yourself! Good for you!
I do not think you're being a snob about the icky pregnant people. I feel the same way. Drives me crazy when I see a young, frustrated mom with dirty kids.
I find myself making the same judgements about the other women in my OB's waiting room. Hard NOT to do...
Glad your BP is cooperating!
You're not being a snob. It's like a kick in the gut when you see things like that and wonder why them when they obviously are not in the best position to raise a child.
I say I feel the same way..16 and on the 3rd child! I'd roll over and die if that was my child...
I too find myself looking at various pregnant women and wondering how they are more deserving than I am.
I can only imagine what the people in the u/s waiting room thought seeing Kyrie (who looks about 15, even though she's actually in her early 20s), Kyrie's girlfriend (with her baseball cap, oversized jeans and multiple -- very multiple -- piercings), their three-year-old son, and, um, me.
Particularly when you struggle with infertility, I think it's hard not to look at some pregnant ladies and be frustrated at how they can be having kids in their situation. My husband has a niece who got knocked up at 16, married the guy, and is on kid #2 at 18. Apparently she was on an IUD, so it makes me annoyed to think she can be so fertile and I'm not.
Congratulations to you on your success down this long and painful road.
Hey Jake thinks I am a snob too...for different reasons. So more power to ya sister :)
