i hate waiting...

ok, so yeah, i'm impatient.

basically we had an unscheduled appt at the labor ward yest. woke up in the morning, and to spare the gory details, i'll just say i lost my mucous plug early in the morning. baby was a little quiet (i think she's just not a morning person) but after talking to the doc, decided to go down to the hospital to strap in and check the baby's heartbeat. kale made it back from his ride around 11+ and then we proceeded to spend the next 4 hours or so hanging out in the labor ward watching the monitor blip. i apparently had contractions that i didn't know i had.. but they weren't the mind-blowing, serious ones.. hmm.

so after a couple of hours, doc came in and gave me 2 options - go home and wait it out or stay in hospital and wait it out. decided to go home. and going by the fact that i'm still at home.. i think that was a good decision.

so yeah, after being up from 2:45 to 5:30am with a combination of contractions (or at least i think they were) and hunger pangs, i'm tired and grumpy. and the fact that i have no idea how long we're looking at in terms of number of days/hours till actual labor is driving me up the wall. i'm most definitely a control freak. this whole not knowing, not being able to anticipate, not being able to speed it up, etc thing is really not sitting well with me. sigh.

so anyhow, i'm home waiting for labor to start. from what i understand, we were looking at anytime from last nite to the next few days. phew.

guess i'll distract myself by putting pics from the past couple of days up.
