[Soniamillie01]

I could be Friday too, if consultant decides to induce at appointment or c section, although I think they'll ask me to go back Saturday or Monday x

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Fingers crossed Sonia!!!

 

[brieri1]

I'm always excited to get on here to see what babies are making their appearance!

 

[mellywelly]

It's been about 6 hours now and I'm still lightly bleeding, do you think this is normal?

 

[ARuppe716]

Looks like the 4th could be a big day here on our board!!

I'm almost more stressed out now that I have a date because I have a deadline to get everything done, and everytime I cross something off my list I feel like 4 more things get added!! I just re-packed my suitcase now that I know how many days I will be staying and what I'll need to my surgical healing. I'm in the process of re-packing LO's bag, too. I just went on a spree of sanitizing bottles, toys, etc. and getting my pump ready to go in case I have any issues coming out of the c-section (I know I shouldn't have issues but better safe than sorry!) THe last load of baby clothes is in the dryer which is actually all the big stuff that he'll grow into but at least it will all be done. I'm also cleaning in the house trying to get it ready for us to come home and ready for all the visitors we will have afterwards! It was crazy leaving my in-laws' house yesterday and telling them we would see them on Friday...it felt so far away when I scheduled it but now it's Wednesday and I have so much to do still.

 

[brieri1]

My due date's the 4th. It would be cool if I joined those on a schedule. My dad says she's coming on the 7th, he just has a feeling about it. But he also thought I was having a boy, so, we'll see. My sister predicts tomorrow, and my mom predicts a week late, like she was with her first.

 

[ARuppe716]

Brieri- I'll send you happy baby vibes on Friday!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ladies, this is going to sound really odd but it's just occurred to me that I've not once actually visualised baby being here at home with us, is that odd? I mean like I haven't imagined DH and I being here and baby being in the room with us in his Moses basket etc. I am sure I probably have but freaked me out for a minute.

 

[mellywelly]

Wonder if lilah has her baby yet???

Melly - how's the bleeding now? I would say it's from the attempted sweep earlier but if it gets any heavier would be worth a call?

 

[sassy_mom]

Ok ... just had a chance to log on. Went to the doctor this morning after a night full of pain. I really thought I would have to go to the hospital last night but held out to see what the doctor would say.

Drum roll: 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced and they stripped my membranes (sweep) while I was there. They gave me the option of whether I wanted it or not and I took it because they automatically induce you at 41 weeks so I would rather take the sweep than have to have pitocin. I went into the hospital with DD and I was dilated to 3 cm so hopefully in the next day or two. I'm just going to finish up a few things around here and wait on her arrival!!! I wonder if she will decide to come on her due date like her big sister! That is tomorrow.

Melly sorry to hear that baby isn't even engaged yet! That is crazy.

Sonia, I really just started thinking about having another little baby here. It was a bit overwhelming!! It will be wonderful though!

It's fairly light just doesn't seem to be stopping. The midwife didn't say anything about bleeding and I presumed as cervix was closed tight there wouldn't be anything?

 

[ARuppe716]

I agree that it is surreal to picture a little baby here. I try to imagine it but I have hard time seeing it! Even with everything all set up and ready to go I have a hard time believing that in less than a week we will be coming home with a little person.

I'm thinking our board is going to have a baby explosion in the next few days!!!

I'm finishing up folding the last load worth of baby laundry and it is embarassing how much clothing this kid has. I won't need to buy clothes for months and months...I have stock piles worth of stuff for 3, 3-6, 6, 6-9, and then some stuff from 9 months all the way through a few toddler pieces! I picked things up at sales throughout the year in addition to my mom who will be a first time grandma who loves to shop and friends who don't have babies yet and love to buy baby clothes...I hope he gets to wear all of this stuff!!
