Once again most of the stuff that was going on yesterday has slowed down. Nothing ever really stops anymore but the contractions are not as bad as they were yesterday. The baby's heartrate is good and he is a good size. From my lack of eating I have managed to loose 8 pounds in 6 days. Not a good thing if I was all skinny and stuff but frankly 8 pounds is a blip on the screen for me.

She was surprised and I got a good quiz over what I was eating and how much and how often. I have taken to eating soups, like chicken noodle with vegetables and stuff like tha. Since my blood pressure was excellent and has been for a while now and all of the other tests keep coming back normal we will see what happens within the next week.

I am pretty sure that no-one thinks this is going to go another week but IF it does at that time I have to go in for an ultrasound to check the baby and the placenta and then we will decide if I want to break my water then or not. Since I am not due until the 24th-26th depending on whos opinion you are taking I am still not late and nothing will be done.

She did suggest evening primrose oil to soften my cervix some more so I will probably start doing that tonight. Besides that things are great. I am amazed at how well taking cinnamon has worked for me. Someone suggested it to me at the beginning of this pregnancy. Her fil was told to take it, he lives overseas somewhere and the doctors there tell their patients to take it to help regulate their sugar and keep the protein out of the urine and stuff. I didn't take it the last 2 days and there was a small trace of protein in my urine today that hasn't been there in months, months that I have taken cinnamon everyday. I am a believer now.

I better get going. I'll check back in later.
