I have lots of pictures to post: our shower, what I won at Babies 'R Us, and my ginormous belly. Yes, trust me, I'm HUGE. People look at me with pity everywhere I go. I'm tired of going out because every one stops me to ask when I am/was due. *sigh*
Actually, I thought last night might've been it. Those suckers HURT! They never got really regular, but goodness they were intense. From what I remember, they get much worse, but these sompletely hardened my uterus all over and I felt them in my back, too. I laid down and tried to sleep, and at first I couldn't because if the pressure, but then they let up.
I guess there area couple good things about last night's tease: 1) James is very eager to finish everything I've been asking him to do, and 2) I'm pretty sure I'll be more dilated at this week's appointment. We'll know Wednesday! BTW, they didn't check me last week. I wanted to know if I'd made more progress. My widwife does however think that he's a little over 7 pounds right now.
I'm going to try to blog each and every day until baby boy arrives so you'll know if anything is happening. I'll also try to post before we leave for the hospital, too!
Posted by Hannah at May 25, 2008 12:29 PMWOW! You are getting *so* close! Can you believe that your SON will be here so very soon??? You and Ani, LOL! :) It's a race! Hmm, wonder whether your son will be here before May 30th? :D I hope that everything goes well. Oh, how I remember those days!!! Yes, you'd better post as frequently as you possibly can!!! :D
Posted by: Lisanne at May 25, 2008 02:58 PMHow exciting!! It's getting close! Update when you can~we'll be here even if you can't ;) Good luck Wed. @ your appt. :) (((hugs)))
Posted by: Connie at May 25, 2008 02:59 PMWow you're now already more pregnant than I got with my second one :) I know how you feel though in terms of struggling to get around. I got so sick and tired of hurting all the time, even just getting into and out of the car was a major mission, and my car has a raised suspension a bit like an SUV so it should have been easy.
Man I wish you the best of luck, and hopefully you won't have to wait too long to have babykins - don't forget if you feel anything - even like indigestion - GO TO THE HOSPITAL. That was my obgyn's receptionists advice to me, and frankly she saved my life :)
Posted by: Rainbowfudge at May 26, 2008 03:53 AMI'm sure those intense contractions must have gone a long way in helping you dilate. Let us know :)
Posted by: Melany at May 26, 2008 11:27 AMI hear ya Hannah. So tired of the people's expressions and whispers. "It's natural people. I am happy!" I want to yell out.Had another false alarm today. The day my doctor thought I was going into labor those contractions were nothing! Today's hurt a heck of a lot!! Owwie! Plus I'm pretty sure I lost my mucous plug. That was so very gross. Sorry for TMI. LOL.
Posted by: Ani at May 26, 2008 07:57 PMIf ever you doubt how big you are, ask Amanda to show you that picture of her in her swimsuit the day Mason was born!! Have you seen it? She always said she was big with him but I didn't realize how big!!
Posted by: Tricia at May 27, 2008 06:05 AMWhat happened to posting every day? I wouldn't have thought a thing about you not posting if you hadn't said you were going to post every day, and now I'm wondering if he's here!
