Well, it seems today is the day - I am having contractions, and right now Jeffrey and I are just at home passing time, waiting until I feel desperate enough to get to the hospital. I found out the other day that the only doctor who does epidurals here is away for the month, (barbaric, I know!), so that isn't going to be an option for me, again. (and God forbid they bring in another doctor!) Why rush up there? The hospital is only about 3 minutes away, so as for now, we are waiting it out. I have some reflexology combs to squeeze in my hands, and they seem to be taking the edge off. Anyway, I thought I might update the blog, because it could be a while before I get back on.
Yesterday we told Carmen it was her birthday (even though it is tomorrow), so she woke up with the house decorated with balloons and streamers, then after breakfast her Lolo and Dida (grandparents) came over for presents. At 10am we had a little party for her, with her two little friends, their siblings and parents. I think the kids had a blast. This week I went to the second hand stores here and bought all kinds of hats, shirts, scarves, necklaces and bags, and made a dress-up box for Carmen. She loves it, and has been into it all week, and it was a big hit at the party. It was a nice time, despite the fact that I was having a few contractions!
Right now Carmen is at school, so if this baby comes in the next few hours, it will really be very good timing!
Wish me luck!
