Last Night I Dreamt
The Husband has been working his butt off lately and is at that point that we all reach where we are fed up with our jobs from time to time. I tell him that it's cyclical and he'll move past it but in case he doesn't, I need him to continue working there for the next few months for obvious reasons.
As I sat down for lunch yesterday, I thought that he might get an earlier vacation than intended as I had a good three or four contractions. They subsided without progressing but BOY was that a wake up call. I have no other labor symptoms so they were merely practice.
I haven't been exempt from crazy vivid dreams during this pregnancy. My dreams are usually wacky but I have tended to remember them more clearly during the past few months. I feel like I spent all last night dreaming. So many dreams. I only wish that I could remember them well enough to find a common thread. I've only recently begun dreaming about the baby and thankfully they're not anxiety dreams (sometimes I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking that I haven't completed an important exam for college graduation ... seven years ago).
Today we have a farewell luncheon for one of our workers. She's been here for about twenty years and manages our properties as well as oversees our programs. She's moving on to take care of our city's beautiful oaks. I'm sorry to see her go. She must be at the end of her rope here. She told me once that one of her favorite memories was when we were hiking at one of the camp properties and got caught in the rain. I was so happy then just to be outside of the city and in the woods that I didn't mind getting soaked. It's a good memory for me too. I'd be more disappointed in her departure if I wasn't planning on leaving myself.
I have a doctor's appointment later. She doesn't do internals unless asked, other than when she does the Strep B test. I'm tempted to request one but it'll only frustrate me to know that I'm not getting anywhere or if I know that I'm sitting at 3cm, 75% effaced for three weeks. It's a no win situation and it involves stirrups. So, I'll just keep waiting.
