Tasha- I hadn't thought of that, in regards to the breast milk. Thanks for the suggestion

My little man is doing well. He's very mellow and content unless he's hungry.

3 days left! After last night I don't want to be pregnant anymore I literally was going both types of bathroom every 5-10 mins, I have two hemmroids that wont go away, swollen feet & hands, now my hands go totally numb in bed, heartburn, its so hot out all the time, and I'm exhausted! No BHs but I have had some lightening over the weekend, I'm ready to be done!

Starlight - He is seriously so handsome and I LOVE his name!

Babyvaughan - I bet you are done!! That sound miserable I am sorry! I know what you mean about the heartburn, heat, etc.

We had a pretty fun 4th of July We floated the River which was so nice and relaxing, although did get a burn on my shins and thighs, even after applying sunscreen. I did keep myself cool, but I did kind of get stuck in my tube when attempting to get out hahaha It was hilarious.

Yesterday, the back of my legs felt more tender than normal where my varicose veins are, and they felt warm to the touch, although no redness and no swelling of that leg. I just elevated it and applied a cool pack to the back of my leg, and it felt better and went away. I think baby is really sitting low causing the blood flow to be slower and pool more.

I literally feel like there is a bowling ball inbetween my legs when I stand up or try to lift my legs up. Ready for these 2 1/2 weeks to zoom on by! I don't want to go into labor before my scheduled C-section, as it wont be as nice and calm as it would if I just had it the day that its scheduled.

Hope you ladies are all doing ok today and are hanging in there!

Mamabee- Hope all is well and hope to hear from you soon!

 

[Harley Quinn]

Thinking of you MamaBee! Hope you and baby are well!

Alea, so glad Maisie is doing well. Hope you can bring her home soon!

Ms. Elizabeth, it sounds like your body is getting ready for sure. 2cm and soft sounds like a good place to be. Might not be happening as fast as you'd like, but it's progress, right!?

Cute baby bumps everyone! So fun to see all the different shapes.

Keyval, I hope your induction goes smoothly tomorrow! Best of luck!

Khatif, glad the ctg went well. Hope the high BP is nothing to worry about either!

Good luck, Wishing! Hope things are progressing for you.

Lots of labour dust your way, holly!!! Happy full term!!!

Aw, k4th, sorry the raspberry leaf tea isn't doing much. Been trying a few things myself and nothing seems to be working. Guess these babies are gonna come when they want! (But it does make me kinda mad... lol)

Bubbles, I'm glad your bladder infection is healing. Sorry you've been so emotional. I've been having some random cry-fests myself too. And going back and forth between wanting to be cuddled and spending time with DH to wanting to just be alone and no one touch me at all! Darn hormones! That's great timing that the missionary came last night. Sometimes God's timing is so perfect. Hope you're feeling better today and get good news at your appointment. Oh, and I'm with you on the weight gain! Gained just over 40 lbs. in each pregnancy, so I've got my work cut out for me after baby is born!

Cute pic, Starlight. Keep working on the BFing! I always find that just feeding on demand is the best way to keep up supply.

Oh, man, babyv! Hang in there! Not long now!

 

[Ms Elizabeth]

Harley....it is progress!! I'm just such a planner!! Like I'm tired and want to take a nap...but I also need to repack my bag and finish laundry. Do I have time for that? LOL. I did go to the grocery store, and man....just walking around is tiring! So I feel a change no doubt!

Come when you're ready little guy! I'm free this weekend and your Dad has it off too!

I have been having my hands go numb in bed too!! SO ANNOYING!! Its been happening for about a month now, wtf!?!? It even happens when I have my hands resting on my face or reading a book. Hopefully it all goes away after baby is here though!

 

[babyvaughan]

Mine only started in the last few days but its weird they be elevated even and still doing it this morning my fingers were locking up from it!

 

[Bubbles1088]

Babyv my right hand has been going numb for about a week now in bed! It's so weird!

Harley you're right, God has the best timing sometimes. That's exactly the thought that went through my head when she was praying with me.

So great news! 2-3cm dilated and 75%-80% effaced! Also we set up an induction date for the 16th if she doesn't come before then, mostly for my dad (he can only be here the 11th-18th), but I won't complain at all. I am so ready. Hoping she comes before that though. Fingers crossed we take home a baby this week!

Been a busy and eventful weekend. Had a sweep on Thursday, bloody show & contractions Friday night. Went to l&d & spent the night. Sent home with no progress. Scheduled a possible induction for today - scheduled an actual induction for Tuesday. Had my check up & another sweep. Induction rescheduled for Wednesday.
I'm feeling crabby & in a ton of pain with my pelvis and bad back. I am essentially immobile - which is tough with 7 kids.
I'm trying to keep my sense of humor about it all. I can't do anything else.

Beautiful babies ladies! I'm hopeful to be snuggling mine soon!

Everyone else, hang in there. It is so hard at the end!

Oh no girlie! It is NOT just you! lol I am so miserable! And 2 1/2 weeks sounds really soon but its going to take YEARS to get there! lol, we can all suffer together !

 

[Medzi]

Sorry I've been so absent! I've been thinking of you ladies and watching for birth announcements!

Congrats Starlight - he is adorable!!

 

[babyvaughan]

I'm at gym working out lol. I'm sure I'll be getting lots of stares with this huge belly but if I lay around anymore I'm going to go crazy!

 

[Harley Quinn]

Bubbles, that's great news! Sounds like baby will be here soon! And good to have an induction date too, just in case baby has other plans.[/QUOTE]

Oh, goodness, Luv! What a crazy few days! You're right; not much to do except try to keep a good sense of humor! C'mon, baby!!!

Okay I just have to flat out say that I'm happy to hear that everyone is miserable and it's not just me : s

Haha! I guess misery really does love company! Well, it will please you to know I'm feeling pretty crappy at times too. Just DONE, ya know? It's weird, I never felt that way in my first two pregnancies, but this time, I'm just sooooo ready to give birth.

Hi, Medzi! Good to hear from you! How's your big guy doing adjusting to being a big brother?

Ha! Babyv, I bet you'll get some looks at the gym. I hear you, though. It's hard to just sit around all day.

AFM, I've got a check-up tomorrow afternoon. Hoping for some progress, either more dilation or effacement, and I'll be getting another sweep. I've got to give the kitchen a deep clean in the morning (don't have the energy tonight!) because we've discovered an ant problem. Gonna give it a good clean and I've got some ant traps to put out. Give me the heeby jeebies to think of bringing a baby home to an ant-infested house!
