Checking in

[Cassagc]

Jena - I completely understand how you're feeling. I'm experiencing the same symptoms, plus all the contractions, cramps and general uneasiness and anxiousness. Luckily for me, my husband was an EMT for 10 years so he kinda knows what to look for and so far everything is just false labor.

It looks like we'll be delivering Dustin either the 14th or 17th by c-section so not long now.

Gabriela - How did the consignment shopping go? Everything set?

cassagc the consigment was great i got everything i was missing a prov a lot more than i needed. but better to b safe than sorry. i went to my regular check up today for 37 weeks And 2 days and the dr told me that im 90 percent effaced. i just hope that labor starts soon so i can have my lil baby with me. does anyone knows how long it would take? i cnt wait!

ahhh... everyone understands my situation! I so want hold my baby. Cass I just want you to know that my mother had three c sections and keeps telling me that I should do the same. She said it was so much better and quicker and you recover easier because you aren't stretched out. I am so not electing to have a c section but if you have to have one it could be the best thing ever.

Dr. Appt was last tues. I am 1-2 cent dilated and 70% effaced so at least there is progression. I am feeling a little rushed now though. My sister had to make plane reservations so I am suppossed to have 'popped' by the 16th on my actual due date. Still 9 days away . I am seriously missing real sleep now. He hasn't dropped yet I have been told because of the feeling that he is all up in my lungs, but I feel he may just be that big I don't know. The day is beautiful so I am going to head out for a long walk and see if I can get things moving. I feel a great sense of love for all of you, going through this together. We are even closer to our due dates now. Rememebr to be positive and laugh when your able.

This is probably going to be my last post:
On May 7th at 11:38pm we welcomed a 8.2 lb Samuel into the world. I had my water popped to progress things along but was able to deliver vaginally. I Have mostly recovered and should be going home tomorrow Afternoon. They want to recheck his circumcision in the morning. Thank you all for the love and support through all of this. I know every one of your bundles will be as beautiful and perfect. Best of luck to all those patient mothers still waiting.

God Bless...

Congratulations Jena! We're still waiting on Dustin to arrive. We've got a c-section date schdeuled for the 17th, no luck with him turning yet.

How are you other ladies doing out there?

[gabriela_299]

im 38 weeks as of sunday.... and im still waiting i hope hailey comes soon because im going krz. she is due on the 23rd... but i want her out now. its driving me nuts more not to know when she is going to come... i havent schedule to get labor induced or a c-section so its all unknown to me as to when she is going to come. i thinkt that you guys are so lucky to know when you are having your babies! my dr. wants to leave it all to my body and fate. i hope everything goes well with all of you and just keep in touch somehow...

[Cassagc]

Gabriela - That's so funny. I wish I could have left this birth up to my body and fate. I was just thinking that you're so lucky.

I know a c-section is the best thing for Dustin and that everything will work out in the end but I really wish he would turn. Nothing has worked! My chiropractor can't even get him to turn. He's taking after his daddy already.

Enjoy these last few days ladies. I'll be praying that everything goes well for all our deliveries and subsequent changes in all of our lives.
