Signs

As you may know, there have been no signs of our little booger coming out anytime soon. We could be surprised and he could decide to pop his head out anytime of course. But the doc today said no change. We had a little non-stress test done and he is healthy and doing well in there. There were a couple contractions that registered too which surprised me. It seems the strange tightening in my chest I have been randomly feeling for a while counts as a contraction. Who knew? I used to think women were crazy for not recognizing one when it came but I guess they come in all forms. Still, it doesn't change much at the moment. We are scheduled for a Monday induction should we need it so I have decided to resign myself to 3/23. That way, if he wants to cooperate and come within the next 4 days I will be super surprised. So no more intuitions and comments like "Tomorrow is definitely the day." I don't want to hear it. It's getting tired of waking up and realizing another day has passed and no more activity has taken place.

Another thought I had was maybe there are no signs because he is waiting for the signs to change. Through Friday he would be a Pisces. Maybe he is meant to be an Aries?! I feel I am a classic Libra and Leo is . . . well, he's a Leo of course! (Although interestingly could have been a Virgo if another three or so hours had passed.) That makes me feel better - he's just waiting to align with the stars.

Hey - I've been sitting here waiting, thinking and looking for "reasons". Let me have my theories to get through another day!

Leo has been great as usual through all this. He encourages me to walk, drink water and all that good stuff as well as goes out of his way to hit every bump and pothole in the road while driving to get things moving. On one of the rainy days he made me do laps in the house to get my walk in. Now that March Madness has officially begun though I'm sure he will be sucked into the world of sports for a while. I guess I have something to pay attention to as well since our bracket (me and BT) will be the winner(s).

Well, it's a beautiful day here, nearing 70, so maybe I will sit out and get a little color on this pudgy pale face of mine. Ugh - I'm so glad most of you can't see me. I feel cow-ish. Moooo. . . . But Leo still says I'm beautiful. I think I will keep him.
