Frustrated

Well, in the past week both a lot and absolutely nothing have happened. Since last Friday evening I have been having contractions. Some are harder than others and a few have been too painful to walk through, but of course as soon as I go to start timing them, they quit. Most of the time they get strong at night but then when I go to bed, they quit. After I take a long walk, they get harder and then....they quit. Are you sensing a pattern here?? My parents came up Tuesday and are staying at least through the weekend, depending on when Luke decides to grace us with his presense. :)
I went back to the doctor this morning but not much news to report. He didn't check to see if I was dilated, though he guesses I probably am since I've been having all these contractions. Luke still hasn't dropped, that I can tell. I start going for nonstress tests twice a week on Monday. So next week I go to the hospital two mornings for these tests and then back to my doctor Thursday for another check-up. He's going on vacation again the 15th or 16th, and he's hoping to have him delivered by then. (Yeah, me too.)
My official due date is this Sunday. He missed my aunt's birthday (July 2nd) and didn't make it for my dad's (the 4th), so we'll see what he decides. Jonathan's holding out for a 07/07/07 baby. In the meantime, I'll just keep hanging out, waiting for something to happen...

Glad to hear you are still doing okay. It may be hard to believe at the moment but you will not be pregnant forever. Luke will make his grand entrance in style I am sure. Saturday would be a great day to have a baby but Sunday would be even better! You are all in our prayers, we love you guys!
