Yup...still here... hopefully not much longer. How're you ladies doing?

Same as you!

Unless nature steps in, I'll be having a planned-c on December 28th. They gave me the choice of before Christmas or after and I chose after so I'd have Christmas with Jake.

Well it's my EDD and nothing. Leaving for the Midwife in about 30 min though so we'll see what she has to say. Xander was 6 days late so I don't know why I thought this one would be early or on time lol

I do know if my neighbors don't turn their mexican polka music down I'm going to loose my mind and go up there though... it's really grating on that one fine nerve today for some reason

FDLOL for the Mexican polka. That seems to be the state music here in NM, I completely understand what you mean! That was one of the best things about not sharing walls when we bought our house, not having to listen to that anymore!

UGH i swear I wish I had a good sound system...I'd let my child listen to the wiggles for that.

I had my 40 week check yesterday. I was dilated to 2cm but Liam was IN FRONT of my cervix pushing it towards my spine. So my MW moved my cervix back to where it should be. OUCH super ouch i cried and she couldn't stop apologizing. As soon as it moved I dilated to 3 cm but no contractions on the NST afterwards. I'm ready to just get this show on the road but I don't want to 'force' it either I figure the more dilating I do without contractions the less I'll have to do while in labor right??

good morning

The last few months i have been reading and finally thought it time to say hi. I am due May 9th. I had my monthly appt yesterday and i only gained 2 lbs so i am happy about that. and we also found out that it is a girl.

still...here...

And welcome! congrats on the girl!

He's here! Liam Thomas was born at 12:53 am this morning all natural. Weighing 8lbs 6oz and 20 in long. We were home a couple of hours later and doing well!

Brothers meeting:

Congratulations MeganBeth, he's just gorgeous!!

I agree!! What a beautiful family you have!!

(love the "boob pic" )

congrats. he is beautiful.

Yeah Megan, I am so glad that he came on his own and you were able to follow through with your birth plan. He is just so perfect and adorable - congrats!!

mrs.augie - welcome and congrats on the baby girl. We are on team surprise again this time. It does drive our family and friends crazy not knowing, but we love the thrill of it.

4myself - glad to see that you are hanging in there. I am sure now that they have set a date it is starting to get even more exciting. Dec 28th was my original due date with my daughter (back in 2000), but she decided she was coming out 7 days early on the 21st.

I still have 8 weeks left and am tired and ready to be done. I am still seeing the doctor twice a week and perinatologist once a month. I know it will be here before we know it and then I will be wondering why I wanted baby out so bad, lol.

Ugh. "Hanging" is exactly what I feel like I'm doing at this point.

I've been having problems lately controling my frustration with being pregnant, the size of a BARN and dealing with a toddler. I got so upset with Jake Saturday that I had to call my mom to come get him. I know it's a combination of all that I have going on and Stewart being NO help w/Jake. As soon as I "pushed" him out the door I went an laid on the bed and SOBBED for about 10-15 minutes.

I never experienced PPD with him, but I can imagine that is how it must be. I didn't take Lexapro with him while he was BF'ing, even though the dr assured me it was OK. I'm thinking this time around I will take it. I really don't think I'd hurt my babies, but I sure did holler at him on Saturday!

So adorable!!!

As for me ill be here for a while! haha
