Paul and I just got back from the doctor's office and I am at a 3 and still 80% effaced. He said it can be any day now. We asked him about going down to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving, he said he HAS to say, "No." but he understands if we don't stay here.
Okay...this is now super late at night which is really wierd for me because I'm usually in bed right as soon as I can. I wanted to stay up to write my thoughts, though. The doctor said my Strep B test came back negative, but it was positive for Strep G. It's a less common form of bacteria that is treated the same way: with a dose of antibiotic in labor. They are going to strip my membranes on Tuesday, and if that doesn't put me into labor they will induce me on Wednesday.
We're still planning on going to Riverton...I'm so crazy! If I wake up tomorrow morning and have a really yucky feeling, then we'll probably stay. Who wants to stay home and away from family on Thanksgiving? It would be so sad to miss out just because I might go into labor. The scary part for me is knowing I'm Strep G positive. I don't want to have to deal with side affects from that if we aren't able to get to a hospital on the way fast enough. Everything else I think will be okay. I plan on not getting an epidural, and I have some strong smelling peppermint gum that can help with nausea.
Alisa and I went with the Fifields to Twilight tonight. I think I was expecting too little of the movie at first, so I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I didn't like the character they chose for Edward, but I think because I had read the book and knew more about the characters, it made the movie cool. There were a few scenes they could have toned down a bit, but I liked the humor. There were a few places I genuinly smiled, which is a good sign. Paul says I'm too critical with movies.

Don't go, Rachel! You could end up having Paul deliver him in the car! :) Seriously, I wouldn't go especially sine you are already dilated and effaced some. Second labor and later are faster.
I'm sure glad you made it. It was taking a risk, but you did make it. I will never forget your thankful attitude. You and I are alike, that's why I think you might have this baby at home and I'm a little afraid, for you; but I know you are in good hands too with Paul and the Dr. watching you closely. I'll see you Tues. night if not before, Love....
I saw Twilight and thought it was ok. I for sure loved the books better and I didn't like who they chose to be Edward either. It made me kind of not like the movie. I don't think you are being too critical, but Mark probably totally thinks I am being to critical about it too. Hope to see you soon! Good luck with the baby!!
