The nurse monitored the baby’s heart rate yesterday. She said he is responding beautifully. He doesn’t seem to be stressed at all. I am feeling contractions come and go more frequently but they are not long lasting. Last night and this morning I feel very uncomfortable, like I have a steady cramp in my lower stomach. It eases up once in awhile. The doctor said that is normal and I am probably close to delivery. Yeah! I go in for a checkup on Monday, if I haven’t delivered by then.

Until then, I am just taking it easy. I am trying to enjoy this time, knowing that everything will be completely different very soon. I think about Stuart a lot and can’t wait to see his new little boy.
