I know I haven't updated in almost a week, but things have been completely crazy around here. Kit started her new job, which means that our one vehicle has been spread a little thin. Between driving Kit and K to work and back, doctor's appts, running errands, getting R to school and keeping J from destroying the world... my hands have been a little full...lol.
Tuesday I had an appt with the OB and everything looked fine except for a touch of gestational diabetes. I ended having to back for a non stress test, where they determined that I was experiencing uterine tightening. It was uncomfortable, but not painful or concerning, so I didn't think much of it. Tuesday night we made it to bed fairly early for us, which was really nice... until 4:30am. At 4:30 I woke up in extreme pain, but I wasn't aware enough to really pin point it. I got up and walked around for a bit and then crawled back into bed. I half woke Master and He curled up next to me while He was half asleep. I dozed on and off until the pain became more intense. I jumped out of bed literally and Master was right behind me holding on to me closely. Out of nowhere I was suddenly extremely sick and Master had me call the OB on call. I was sent to L&D to be checked out, and they determined that I was contracting, but only about once every 30 minutes... and I am dialated 1 cm. They sent me home with the instructions about when to call back, but I was still really upset because it all hurt so bad.
Master and I had our alone time last night and did everything we could think of to urge my cervix on. None of it seemed to work, but it was fun trying. Master also tried out His new handmade whip and flogger on me... and they were delicious. He couldn't swing too hard though because with labor impending it would not be a good idea to have marks and bruises. Some things just aren't worth having to explain...lol. That makes me a bit sad because the more intense spankings really help center me when I'm feeling down or my hormones are out of whack. Since we already know that this baby has to be a C section, we know that spanking has to stop at least until the staples are removed. That makes me sad too, but provided my body co-operates we won't have to wait the full 6-8 weeks to resume spanking activities. Master has already said that we are going to take it easy at first to make sure that physically I can handle whatever comes our way.
Master has been amazing at helping me think of ways that we can be "together" during our alone times. He knows how hard it will be for me to know what they are doing ( walls are paper thin, everyone can hear most everything...lol) and know that I can't have things like that. He knows that this is something we have never had to experience before, and He wants to make it as easy for me as possible. He has also done everything in His power to assure me that there will be extra snuggles and cuddles, and extra closeness in general. We both know that I will need that a lot after having the baby, and once I go back to work. All in all, I feel a lot less lost and alone now than I did weeks ago when I brought the subject up here. I know Master loves me and my happiness is extremely important to Him. Just as He knows that His happiness is extremely important to me.
Thats it for now, although I may write more later!
