Great names ladies! And congrats to the new moms!
Missy I'm glad the shield worked! Funny how little things can make a huge difference!
As for missing pregnancy, I know I'll miss it too. Those kicks and nudges are just so unique. But, I know it will be so surreal when I can finally hold LO. Honestly, I'm quite nervous something is going to happen to LO. I won't let DH throw out the boxes for the stroller or car seat because I'm worried we won't have a need (not that I can say that because he will just poo poo me). I know it's irrational. I'm doing my best to just trust God. I know he has a plan. He gave us this child. However, after 5 years of infertility it's crazy to think we are here and this is happening. I want to bond so much but afraid of what could be (I know I need to just focus on the present, which I'm trying to do) that I'm putting a wall up until I know it's all ok. My older boys are hard to bond to because they are foster kids and could go home in a few years, so some of this is just adjusting and realizing this baby can't be taken away. It's just a hard concept. I really am excited though too. I just need baby to come and let this anxiety pass by.
AFM- I'm 40+2. I woke up this morning with really strong cramps and contractions. They were coming every 5 mins for about an hour but they weren't getting stronger. After 2.5 hours they stopped.
I was hoping today was it, but I guess I have more waiting to do. I you'd DH this morning that I was going to go to the store to see if I could jump start things more just walking around, he wants me to wait to tomorrow. I don't know if I can do that. I really don't want to go to work anymore... But unless this baby is coming, I have to go. Not to mention we have things going on tonight I know he wants to take care of, but I'm very indifferent. Its not like we have a choice anyways. I'm going to the store this morning as my sweet craving is through the roof with no good sweets left under the roof!
