Oh my goodness Dove, so exciting to know that your baby will be here soon!
Ladies, I hope your LO's are feeling better and you avoid catching anything. Definitely not the time to be feeling under the weather!
I've had swelling of my hands and feet the last couple of days. I feel like I could gladly lay in an ice bath- haha. So not fun! My mom thinks baby might come around the full moon on Sunday. I'm definitely getting lots of Braxton hicks and pressure down low but we all know that can go on for awhile!
Myra - I'm crossing my fingers for Connor to come home as planned!!!
Ladies, anyone take any baby bump pictures lately?

Oh my gosh, Dove. Not long at all until you meet Lucas! I can understand your nerves. I am right there too. But everything will work out and you'll be holding your little man very soon. How exciting!!!

Beachgal - glad you're ok. I'm suffering the swelling too. It's awful isnt it

Libby - great bump pic!

I will see if I can figure out how to upload a pic...

 

[Shanoa]

Ugh didn't work... try again.

I feel like I have a soccerball up my top!

 

[Libbysmum]

SHanoa if I had to guess I am saying a boy for you...such a cute bump.

 

[Shanoa]

Thanks Libbysmum! I'm starting to lean towards boy too but I don't know if that's because both of our mothers are convinced it's a girl so I want to root for the underdog.

You guys are so cute with your tiny bellies....I'm seriously a house...

I am with you dove. Little petite things, with their beautiful bumps. I am huge and do not want to see a picture of myself. Looking in the mirror is bad enough.

NST tomorrow morning and OB in the afternoon. Hope all goes well.

My belly hangs out of the bottom of all of my maternity shirts now....I've been taking weekly pictures....no wonder my everything hurts, lol.

Good luck tomorrow! I go on Saturday....hoping that they let me leave after and not be made to have the c-section that day....

 

[JulieBoggs]

My DH is always telling me my belly is hanging out. Lol, funny you mention it.
Good luck Saturday.

 

[Libbysmum]

I agree...I have only 1 shirt that completely covers my belly...the rest sit up showing off my pale flesh. LOL I go to the doctors in about half an hour. Hope all is good! After the doctor I want to go to the baby expo...if I have the energy!
Blasted rain today is going to make it difficult to find good parking!

 

[JulieBoggs]

Libbysmum your day is just starting and our is coming to an end. Have fun and I hope you find good parking.

Gorgeous baby bumps!

My belly also hangs out the bottom of most of my shirts. Haha I've given up trying to hide it!

Good luck, Julie & Dove. I hope your appointments go well. Please keep us posted if you can.

I have a c-section scheduled July 5 at 7:30 am because he is still transverse my Dr doesn't think he will turn. Because of the insulin I needed to have a morning delivery. I could not have it at the hospital I wanted but a different hospital. I was upset over it, but have come to terms. I have never had a c-section and I am very nervous about it. I am hoping the scan next Fri shows he turned and we can have a normal delivery. Other then that everything went fine.
Trying to get ready for my yardsale tomorrow.

OMgosh yesterday morning I almost ended up crying my eyes out. It was pouring rain so I didn't feel like taking myself or Libby anywhere but had the Dr appointment. Poor darling girl is full of a cold. So I park over the road from the hospital thinking it would be fine and much closer walk than the hospital parking. The shop security guard comes out and sees me leaving the premises and advised me to move the car or get towed...yay back in the car with Libby, drive off to the hospital parking which charges an arm and a leg to park there! I finally find a spot to park in and drop the ticket down the side of the carseat and console...took me ages to get it out then I couldn't for the life of me remember what I had done with the car keys! Meanwhile the student midwife is texting me saying she is up at clinic waiting for me...so I text her saying I am on my way and finally find the keys! Needless to say I was slightly late for the appointment!
But the good news is...baby seems to be doing things as it should. Had a good heartbeat, measured slightly under for due date but nothing concerning. The Doctor was really great and not concerned about me trying for a Vbac so that was a relief. She assumes this labor will be quicker than with Libby...8-12 hours maximum she reckons.

Julie - I will keep my fingers crossed that he turns for you! Any tricks you can do to help encourage him?
Libbysmum - Sorry to hear you had a rough day Did you manage to get to the baby expo?
Great news about baby! Do they think you will go early or past your due date?

I received a call from the Specialist's office today. They finally received my paperwork and I am able to try for a Vaginal birth! What a relief to finally know. Now, the question is when will my little man make his appearance!
Any thoughts on if the Super moon on Sunday is going to affect any of us? The Dr's at the hospital last week said that they are always crazy on full moons...
