haha i doubt it.. im getting my hopes up which is a bad thing!

although i had to use the applicator to insert bacteria cream and when i pulled it out there was blood on it.. which im hoping was the start of my mucus plug.. and ive been having bratxon hicks like crazy here..
theyll be regular and then they will stop.

ahhh i know im just getting excited over nothing but i wish shed decide she wants to make her appearance early

i wish .Mika would decide when she's comign out because every little twinge i get i feel like running to go get my hospital bag and getting in the car Laughing I have had a lot more mucus after the sweep though and been a bit crampy so i can hope but atleast i know i'll go in next tuesday if she's not here already so she can't stay in there forever

I was so sure she'd come last weekend but i was wrong so i'm just taking each day as it comes, i'd prefer her to come soon because i'm uncomfortable but 5 days isn't long to wait if i have to

thats what i try to tell myself.. in comparison to forever which is how long shell be here these last few days of pregnancy arent going to feel all that long looking back.
plus there has got to be a reason for her still being in there.. she knows when shes ready to come out..

or at least thats what ive been telling myself here lately.

I keep telling myself the same thing, if she was meant to be out she would be out which is why i was so wary of having to sweep done but i'd rather have that and then have her then be induced. I've been having what i think are strong braxton hicks since the sweep but i can hope theey're the realy thing lol
