Today there isn't a lot of news to share. I made it through another day and I am officially 31 weeks pregnant! I am still getting contractions that are fairly painful, but they aren't super close together at this time.
This is my 5th day post water breaking which is a feat in itself. This baby really wants to come out and I feel like it is pure will power (and some clinching?) that is making him stay in for now. I will know soon enough what real labor feels like but I do think I have been in mild labor for like 5 straight days.
I am talking with HR today on my options for leave from work. I work for a great company but just hope that we can work something out as I don't want to spend my entire maternity leave at the hospital or in the NICU. Need to save some of it for when he comes home. I just keep reminding myself that there is a prize at the end of this tunnel. And I keep making my mom promise it is worth it. :) ha.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
