This is how I have to start all of my communication now. Tomorrow will be one week late...UGHH! It wouldn't be so terrible except I've felt like I'm on the cusp of it for at least a week, if not more. All the signs seem to be pointing in the right direction, we just don't seem to be able to get over the hump.
Today I went and had acupuncture in the hopes of stirring some activity up. I did have 3 contractions during the treatment and I do feel like the sensations have become stronger, although not any more consistent at this point. The things I've read say it can take 24-48 hours before it has any real effect and that it can take 2-3 treatments. If nothing happens I think I would do at least one more before I gave up and let them induce me at the hospital. I really don't want to be induced though, so I'm hoping something picks up soon.
On the Molly front, she's being really ornery lately. My mom says it's because she senses the impending doom in the house (she of course doesn't use that phrase, she opts for "shifts" or "changes"). I've noticed that my mom's molly sympathy level has gone up and whenever that happens, mine goes down so as to adjust for inequalities in the universe. Today she was throwing a Molly pity party and I had to remind her of all of the fantastic changes that have been happening for Molly. For example the past 3 days, she's had REAL dessert. I'm usually a complete hard ass when comes to her diet (also a complete hypocrite) but the past few days she's been treated to likes of ice cream, cookies and pie. Also, she seems to be making out in the gift department as well. That isn't just my mom, it's all of us. My mom has bought her several toys, lots of books, and 3 new pairs of shoes. I went DickBlick crazy last week and bought her some fun new colored paper rolls for her table, fancy new metallic crayons, and something called "cloud clay". Jonny took her to Barnes and Noble this past weekend and bought her an assortment of books. But hey, it isn't all about the material things there's also all of the attention she's been getting from all of us. My mom has been around a ton lately helping me out and spending lots of quality time with her. Jonny's been taking a lot of time off work, so he's always around now. Then there's me: I have no interest in accomplishing anything right now, so I pretty much just hang out with her.
So while I do feel just a little sorry for her loosing some of the attention (Mere always likes to bring up those "perfect" 16 months she had of only childhood), I think things are still going okay for Miss priss.
