STATUS: still pregnant; loss of mucus plug
Yup, officially lost ye olde plug at about 3:45 AM and have continued to watch the remains disappear over the course of the morning (makes your pee smell like Comet!).
Does it mean anything? Not quite. Just another early sign of labor...could be, once again, hours to weeks before delivery. It means my cervix is ripening (dilating + effacing) and the plug fell out because the space opened up.
This weekend has been exhaustingly relaxing.
Friday we continued working on the prep of crafts.
Saturday was a continuation...screenprinting, setting up credit card orders for the fairs, packaging product, and updating the website. I felt sick later that day about quarter to nine and snuck off to bed and Jason let me sleep in until eight this morning then surprised me with my Mother's Day gifts from him and the kids.
I got a cheesy mug (apparently one of many more to come) from the boys (Milo, the pup, + Buddy, the cat). Jason and Olivia gave their MILF a gift card to pick up some postpartum clothes since I am so excited to go shopping and working out again!
Physically I am exhausted today - could barely make it in the shower much less to church (which breaks my heart). I guess it has to do with the 12 hours of sleep, impending labor, and the pregnancy. Jason is being a sweetheart and is cleaning the house (it's not really messy but is overwhelming to me and I can't stand thinking that I could go into labor and the house would be messy when we get back...call me OCD) and also running errands. We were going to eat out but in my condition decided instead to stay in and ordered from our favourite Italian place - Benny Tudino's. We are regulars there and really enjoy the food and surroundings. Anyway...patiently awaiting my brunch of fried calamari, Chicken Marco Polo, and Ziti with meatsauce.
Then...back to refreshing my memory on childbirth/labor and a nap.
