WTT we seem to be on the same schedule with our stupid non-productive contractions. I hate hate hate this waiting with painful contractions that don't do anything.

Repogirl - Great pics!! Love the costume she is gorgeous!!! Happy 1st Halloween!!

Mrs Aj Congratulations!! Connor is too cute!!! Hope you guys are doing well!!


Huggles Logan is adorable!!! Glad you are home and doing well!! My carina was the same way - she only slept if we held her - i gave in quite easily!! And i have heard the same as you - before dna testing - the only way to tell if a baby was yours was if he looked like you -so that is why newborns tend to look a lot more like daddy - and then overtime tend to mix bothparents

Happpy 39 weeks QWK!!
Congrats to Dr gomps! Cant wait to see pics!!

L:abor dust to all who want it!! None for me - stay put till next friday!!

For everyone hope you are oding well - so many babies!!

Huggles & MrsAJ, thanks for posting pics - your kiddos are ADORABLE!!!

Nyn, good luck today!

qwk, happy 39 weeks!!

sheryl, every little twinge/contraction/cramp/etc helps in the long run, so try not to get too discouraged - they may be helping your cervix thin, or repositioning baby, etc... hang in there!


afm, i went to the chiropractor yesterday - i was actually able to get a bit of sleep last night because my back could relax a bit - wow! carpal tunnel's still pretty bad, though, but that will clear up once baby comes... we have less than 2 weeks left of term here, so come on, baby!! i may skip my appt today b/c of the snow - waiting to see how it will be on the roads in a few hours...

how is everyone else feeling?

Super big congrats to Alybel, MrsAJ, Dr Gomps, and Joey!

Here is a 'just for fun' question for you ladies who have had your babies..do you think the baby looks more like you or its dad? There is an old anthropological theory that newborns look more like their dad's so that the dad will have more urge to take care of them

I think Logan does look somewhat like dh, and everyone that sees him says he's the spitting image of him.
There are apparently 2 theories about newborns looking like the dad - one is so that the dad bonds with them, the other comes from the days of hunter-gatherers when the men would go out hunting for days/weeks at a time. Then the women would have babies. And the only way for the men to know which baby was theirs when they returned was because the baby looked like them.


We came home from the hospital yesterday. Logan is doing well. Didn't sleep much last night though as every time i put him in his cot he cried, so i landed up sleeping with him on my chest for about 3 hours just to get some sleep. But I am totally and utterly in love with my son and loving every minute of mommyhood.
Here are 2 more pics:

love his little face.. so cute

 

[wtt :)]

I feel like after every internal exam, Baby is like "ohhh THERE'S the way out!" cause i always feel a lot more pressure afterwards and the following days after an exam so we will see. i am still optimistic he'll be here sooner rather than later Today i am very uncomfortable though - lots of back pain, lots of pressure to the point where i can barely walk straight, let alone stand for more than 5-10 mins at a time. He is getting big and running out of room so if you want more room, come on out, Baby!

 

[babyhopes2010]

im soooo tired today! dont know why

 

[Nyn]

Just saw my mw She monitored the baby for half an hour and everything is great so that's really good She was reluctant to do a sweep - she said she usually waits till 41 weeks, but she gave it a go anyway. I've not dilated any more but I'm a bit more effaced so that's a positive. She did do a little sweep but I know she didn't get far in and it wasn't for long. Went for a short walk afterwards but came home as my feet are swelling like crazy Wait and see I guess! I've got another appointment for Saturday morning if nothing happens between now and then!

 

[pip7890]

How frustrating Nyn.

Is it just me but when I think of a sweep I imagine a little boy with soot on his face and a long bushy brush?!!!

[Nyn]

lol Pip, that wasn't what I thought of but it is now!

 

[bbygurl719]

congratz dr gomps!!

 

[sherylb]

Wow, I suddenly understand the sudden burst of energy and nesting instinct. It just hit me like a ton of bricks.

 

[Tish5478]

Oh Nyn - gutted she didn't do a decent sweep on you!!! Hope whatever she did do will get you going though!

I on the other hand was unable to have a sweep at all as my adorable bubba has decided to remove himself from the deeply engaged position he was in to being completely free from the pelvis!!!! not quite sure what this will mean - is it because he's just getting too big to fit through? My BP was also elevated so am waiting on blood results for that. So all in all, not a great day for me I see the consultant on Friday (if bloods are normal) so will hopefully have a plan then.
