I want to be all calm and zen and at peace with the last bit of my pregnancy. I want to wait patiently and crochet booties, like a normal person, but I can't.

Ever since my appointment with Dr. Plummer on the 29th my body has been bubbling and gurgling with it's various stages of early labor. I've had a near-constant backache, cramping, mucus, puking, pooing, hot flashes, chills, you name it, I've had it. And I've managed to have some of the most intense sessions of False Labor possible. It's lovely.
Wednesday I went to my appointment with Ms. Trish and was told that I'm 4 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Great. Awesome. Except that that I know that it can still be weeks before this kid is actually born. I'll be 38 weeks on Saturday and I'm fully aware that I could actually go PAST my due date.
Which, really, I'd be okay with, except that I feel so miserable. I can't do anything without feeling awful.
The books tell you to "keep to your normal schedule" and be busy, but my life is one giant house chore and how can I feel normal if when I'm doing that I have to stop to throw up or poo or *insert other graphic gross stuff here* AND I hurt all over?!
Anyway, that's why I haven't been updating. It's all one long rant about how this sucks.
