Simply gross

Well our little boy is still not here yet. He is being stubborn and staying put. The last few days have been painful and exhausting. I have had a lot of all over back pain, contractions, and the feeling like I am being stabbed in the vajay jay with and ice pick :(. The end of pregnancy really sucks.
             Yesterday was an odd day. I had just woken up and had breakfast. I decided it would probably be good to get on my birthing ball and bounce for a little while. Its supposed to help you further dilate. ( I highly recommend getting one for the last few weeks of pregnancy) So there I am just bouncing away, watching Law and order SVU. When all of a sudden mid bounce I felt the most disgusting feeling on the planet. It was just nasty and squishy. I got up thinking maybe my water had broken? I went to the bathroom to find my mucous plug ( which I though I lost weeks ago). It was the most disgusting thing ever. It was like having a ton of snot in your pants. Im telling you there is nothing "beautiful" about pregnancy. Your body dose so many gross things. Thank god my due date is only 8 days away. I can only pray it happens sooner. Jared and I have been walking a lot to get things moving, that plus bouncing on my birthing ball and sex. I think we are helping things along. I went from 50% effaced to 80% over night. For those of you who dont know what "effaced" means its the thinning of your cervix. You cant dilate with out your cervix thinning. As of my last appointment I was 2cm dilated. Im hoping im further along now. As nervous as I am about being a parent, I just want to hold my baby boy. I want to see Jared hold his son. I know it will all happen in good time, but that's just not soon enough. I want to get labor and birth over with. Well I better get going. Jared should be home soon and I have to finish getting things ready for dinner. Hope you all have a great Wednesday.
