doctor appointment update

It has taken me a couple of days, but here is the update on the Gabe front. I have not dropped significantly. I am dilated 1 cm and barely effaced. We will not have a baby this week. Neither Guy nor I are sleeping well. I am getting up every hour and a half to pee. Guy claims that I groan all night (I think I only do it when rolling over). My lower back hurts enough that heating pads and ben gay don't cut it well enough, but the couch is a lifesend. Guy's work is going okay. My kids are e-mailing me and want me back at work (too bad--see ya in January). I am less irritable with Mabry. I think it is because I am not working myself to exhaustion every day. Anyway, someone remind my husband that this is not vacation--it is leave. I have done a lot of work from home for it to be a vacation. Hopefully, Monday we will have incredible news to report after the next doctor's appointment. By the way, did I tell you that I am suspicious that the doctor only told me that I was dilating and effacing since he knows how tired I am of being pregnant?
