The Drop

Our boy has defintely dropped; or, he's practicing bungee jumping. However, along the way, he decided to dash in a nerve or two in my back so it seems. I've been hobbling along like a cripple for two days now.

Aside from the pain, there is the stirred hope and anticipation that Gabe may be making his way out, so to speak. I'm not sure at this point. All I can be sure of is this constant back pain and my hope that it won't linger for two or three more weeks.

I'm hoping at this point that my next visit with Dr. Nerdy Professor reveals some progress towards labor (dilation, effacement, light at the end of the tunnel). How odd to be wishing for such a thing!
