AMM -- YAY!!!!!! What fantastic news! I actually exclaimed out loud when I read that 
Very, very happy for you!
Annie -- BPP = biophysical profile (I think someone else mentioned that). It is essentially an equivalent to an NST, they're just checking to make sure baby is doing okay. They do an ultrasound and give baby a "score" based on the heartbeat, movement, flexion etc... They've been monitoring me for weeks with extra NSTs, growth scans and BPPs...as a matter of fact, baby girl didn't pass her NST this morning so I had to go get a BPP. If you're having issues feeling/tracking movement definitely drink juice or ice cold water and lay down -- the cold and the sugar usually trigger baby to kick around a bit, and laying on your side increases blood flow down there, as well as makes it easier for you to feel stuff rather than sitting up. Hope this helps!
Ashley --- you're so close!! Hope those contractions get you going somewhere! I have been having such a hard time sleeping as well -- I think I maybe slept for 2 hours last night and I am in such a mood today! Hope baby girl decides to make her appearance soon!
I'm sure I'm missing others, and I'm sorry.....you all know how preggo brain goes! For all you ladies on the US east coast dealing with the oncoming storm, I hope everything goes okay for you and you all stay safe! I grew up with earthquakes and absolutely abhor them, but I think I'd rather have those than knowing ahead of time what scary stuff is on the way! Take care of yourselves ladies
AFM....................26 hours and counting!! I'm being induced tomorrow night at 7pm. They're doing the cervidel (sp?) overnight to get me dilated enough so that hopefully they can start the pitocin Wednesday morning. Looks like my baby girl is going to share a bday with AMM -- hope ya don't mind!
Though I am very excited to have baby girl outside of my body, I will fully admit to you ladies that I am officially freaked out for the labor part! Part of me wants to just be knocked out and woken up when it's all over....don't know why I'm so scared! Women have been doing this for thousands of years, in much less favorable conditions....I really shouldn't be afraid!
PS: at night I find myself trying to loosen my clothing only to realize it doesn't do anything -- my clothes aren't tight, just my belly. lol

I'm a first timer, so I shouldn't be surprised and it's not even my due date yet. The docs offer of induction seems sweeter by the moment, but I really don't want to do that. It's just so uncomfortable! My face got puffy over the weekend and I don't even look like myself. Of course I cried like a crazy person and DH thought I had lost it. I haven't lost it, but that thought isn't far off!
