Almost 40 weeks

According to history, I should be having contractions later this morning. Doesn't quite feel like anything yet. I have a doctor's appointment later this morning. Let's see what she says.

The gramps have been here for almost a week now, just about the same time that my piles have taken me by storm. It's very painful! Sitting, standing, walking, laying down are all painful. The only relief is being on all fours. But how long can I stay in that position? The next best is laying down, so I did that for an entire day on Monday. But it cuts off blood circulation to my legs and then my sciatic nerves hurt. Nothing to please this pregnant woman with her baby so low down and stuck in her birth canal and baby legs dangling in the air.

I finally woke up at 3am to pee and realized that my piles have started to bleed. Ouch. I feel a little better after cleaning them up. Time to do something that makes me feel a little better-like looking at pictures of Soph.
