TMI Warning: Looking for signs

TMI warning:  I expected to spot after being checked last Wednesday.  There was a little but not as much as I thought.  It has however continued being a pink tinge on any mucus that is wiped.  Is that still from the cervix check or is it part of a natural progression?  I had a small, I don't want to call it a clot but it seemed more like a clot - but not what I'd expect for a 'bloody show' based on reading/descriptions.

Thicker glops of discharge continue (periodically) but that's been happening for weeks, not sure it's pieces of mucus plug. I have felt pressure and even at times like I need to poo but I am not prepared to do so.  I guess it doesn't matter since none of this means anything is imminent since everyone is different.

I guess I'm officially looking forward to Wednesday's appointment to see if we've progressed at all.

Girl has also taken to not just pushing her butt out above and to the right of my belly button but also pushing out a leg or something to the left of my belly button.  She's definitely feeling cramped in there.

Holding on the launch sequence

My blood pressure remains good and our little one's heart rate remains in the 150s.  Today I had my first exam to find we're at 1cm, 50% effaced, and -2 station.  So really, no progress at this point.  I really need to get out and walk - but with the pressure I've been feeling I can imagine that would feel rather horrendous to get too far from the house w/o something to lean on.  Is it wrong to think that maybe walking w/ a shopping cart is a good idea... even if I don't need to be shopping?

I had a miserable night of sleep too, in part thanks to ice cream we went for around 8.  I kept tasting it through the night if my head lulled too far to the side or I was trying to sleep on either side.  Bleh.  Still not screaming and crying to be done, but I am ready to see some action if for no other reason than to avoid feeling the pressure of being late.
