Only 1 cm dilated and so exhausted. I wonder how many more days this will go on. I had a breakdown after I got home from the hospital and couldn't stop crying cause I amso terribly tired and these painful contractions every five mins seem to be doing nothing!

Katy, congrats and I am so glad everyone's doing well! Giving birth at home sounds quite intense!
 
Katy: Congratulations! :)

LittleLotti: I hope you've had your baby before you read this post. :hugs:
 
Our precious baby came on her due date! I am soooo in love!

Still nothing :(I lost a little bit of plug today, but baby is showing no signs of giving up his/her comfy home. I cleaned blinds and did laundry and puttered around the house...now I'm going to try bouncing on the ball.

MW is going to do a sweep tomorrow... and then I am going to jump DH for some :sex:, eat some spicy food, eat some pineapple... do whatever I can! :blush:

I'm torn because I want the extra couple of days of sleep but I don't want to get to the point that induction is required. :shrug:
 
LittleLotti: Gorgeous, Gorgeous baby! Congratulations!

Yikes: Have you had baby? Are you going to have a February baby or a January baby? The suspense is getting me. Don't blame baby for being snug though, so warm in the womb. :)
 
Yikes, any baby yet? I hope that all your tricks worked!

Leinzlove, thank you! Her daddy and I are sooo happy and in love with her :)
 
Yikes: I can't believe it! Baby is snug! Atleast baby waited for Daddy! :)

AFM: The announcements I ordered came today. But, I'm still waiting on prints to mail them. It's so exciting. So, Zoela didn't get the professional photos that DD did. But, I didn't want to spend $100+ as we are getting a family shoot done this spring in the park. So the weather plays a part and also that I'm still looking a bit pregnant. :haha:

Here are the announcements. They are 5x7. These aren't the best pictures of them as they won't let you save them to your PC. So, they were just taken with my phone.

Here are the prints. The pink collage is printed for everyone. And the newborn poses are for close family and friends. I ended up printing them all for 9c each and just going 4x6's.
Had to have her awake pic... Looks just like I did as a baby. :)

Leinzlove - Those are so great!! You've inspired me to do some too! :) I've booked a professional shoot for when LO is 5-10 days old... can't wait!!! Now s/he just needs to show up!!
 
Tell me about it! I still don't have any symptoms really!! I am going to go for a long walk today - hopefully that will help! :)
 
Hey gals!!

Okay - so I had my stretch and sweep this morning and my MW felt things were definitely progressing. I am 2-3 cm dilated (though she stretched it more), cervix is totally soft and 50% effaced (which she thought was as good as it would get pre-labour) and baby's head is firmly engaged. She thought I would have lots of cramping but I haven't had much yet. I lost a wee bit of plug and my back is aching a bit... but otherwise I feel pretty good (with the exception of feeling sleepy).

I had a nap (and may have another) and I'm just hoping things are moving along. She thought I might go into labour tonight based on how favourable my cervix is... if not, I have another stretch and sweep scheduled for Thursday.

If nothing works... (which is unlikely) I will be induced next Weds. However, my MW will come over in the morning, break my water, and try to induce labour at home so we don't have to go in to the hospital.

Please send me your labour dust!! :hugs: Thanks ladies!!!
