Progress is slow

Hey everyone. Sorry Its been a few days since my last post. I have been busy trying everything to get this baby out. ( everything safe that is) I have been bouncing on my birthing ball, going on walks with jared, Having sex. Nothing seems to be doing the trick. The sex seems to be doing the most. I have painful contractions afterwards. Nothing super painful just irritating. But they always seem to subside a few hours after.
             Today Jared and I were supposed to go to a friends house for a pot luck dinner, but I have been feeling so nauseous all morning. Plus I have been having contractions. I downloaded a counter on my phone and just started to time them. I dont think its the real thing though. I have a feeling we still have a little ways to go. I just hope i am progressing when I go in on Monday. I was dilated to a 1 and still pretty thick last Tuesday when Jared and I went to L&D. Im hoping to be about a 3 at leased at my appointment.I just feel so awful. Im ready to have my body back. Plus I am getting to Jealous of all my friends who had there babies the last few days. I look at there pictures and all I want is to hold my little boy. I know its going to be rough. We will suffer a lack of sleep. But I just want him here already. Well thats about all that has happened the last few days. Nothing to exciting. Again I will keep you all posted on any progress I make. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
