The Goose that laid the golden egg.

I can't imagine carrying around an egg in your hoohah for a while. Well ok so I know what that feels like because that's pretty much the image that is describing my current position of the baby and has been for quite some time now. He is less than .77 centimeters from escaping. That is more than a Zero station on the bishops score. Which is why I'm not suppose to walk, sit or stand in case he would like to escape it's not that hard. The doctor is monitoring me closely because in the position he is in if he gets too big he won't be able to survive that long so we just have to make sure he comes out when he's ready and not when my failing body thinks so rather than be sooner or later. He just keeps saying I'm surprised you made it this long. Since my original measurements put me at delivering before 28 weeks for sure! No doubts about it. But I followed what the Koreans said on the whole bed rest/hospitalization recommendation and have been getting my progesterone shots every week since 21 weeks. I'm 34 now so the baby is healthier and able to survive which is a miracle from the man upstairs. Carrying an egg like that since probably conception because I can't carry and now the weight of the baby and dropping makes it even lower. How LOW can you go well a +2 means he's escaped so hopefully that won't happen but that's what we are waiting on. He said I only have about an hour of labor if that since Desmund came in 2 hours record timing. Plus he's already um THERE. So contractions are scaring me right now. They come and go and aren't regular just sporadic usually when I'm hungry. Anything can set me off like a bump in the road literally. So now we just wait and hopefully the husband will get here sooner than later and everything will be fine!! So TWO MORE weeks. But I really wish I could go into hibernation for those two weeks.
