This Baby Wants Out.

My midwife wants me on strict bed rest. And I think I would have understood her better if she told me I had a red breast or to head west, because bed rest? Well, that's just impossible. I've been on official bed rest for 16 hours, half of which I was sleeping and consider this one of the hardest things I have ever done.

Jose was working last night. Jack needed to be fed, changed, played with, monitored, so I called Mom over to spend the night. It is so hard to ask for help. And of course she is wonderful.

The baby wants out. His head is -1 station and effacement is 50% in progress, not that anyone would want specifics. I may need to refer back to the dates one day.

Three weeks. I can do this.
