Officially full term today!! :D

[bsd]

So this is a pointless thread Just really happy that I'm officially 37 weeks! I can't believe how time has gone by and that I'll be meeting my baby in 3 weeks! It seems so unreal I am SOO excited and so impatient! Here's some updates on my pregnancy right now...
I'm honestly thinking about trying all those crazy wives tales to induce labor... I've already bought raspberry leaf tea and and am thinking about looking up the best ways to induce and just going through the list daily I'm so impatient I just want him here now!
My crib FINALLY came in, and the in laws are bringing it to me tomorrow (wednesday) so I can't wait to set that up and get his nursery all completely ready!
I still havent packed my hospital bag but plan on doing that today after I get some suggestions on what to put in his bag.
I am still getting mild BH that I can barley notice, and every once in a while I'll get some slight menstrual like cramping on my cervix area so I'm hoping my body is preparing for him to come out sooner!
Sleeping is real hard I've struggled with it for a couple months now, but finally gave up on being angry about it. Now I just sleep when I'm tired and stay awake when I'm not! (which is why I'm doing this at 12:30 am..) I don't work or do anything during the day anyways so as long as I'm getting some good sleep in within the 24 hour period I'm happy.
My OH and I got in a serious fight this weekend and I almost left him.. you might have seen my posts. It was really hard and emotional, I haven't cried that much in one day ever. But things are better now (thank god) and I really needed them to be back on track since I'm due in 20 days!
Umm lets see what else... Oh yeah I'm flaking and its really gross! Right around my bra line my skin is so dry its literally just flaking off.. its really bad. I should be putting lotion on it but I'm such a procrastinator It doesn't itch or bother me, just really grosses me out haha.

For the first few weeks of my LO's life he's going to be sleeping in a bassinet in my room next to me, so I can just wake up and feed him. My mom and I dug out the old one she used for me and my sister over 20 years ago! (I'll have to put some pictures up when its all ready). But her and my grandma are making bumper pads for it this weekend so I can't wait to get that all cleaned up and ready I still have so much to do and so much to set up and I'm still just trying to get my LO here sooner.. I just want to meet him I love him so much already and he just amazes me moving around all day long!

Next week is when I'll be getting the rest of my stuff for my nursery too I can't wait! And thank you I really cant believe only 20 more days!! I just know how happy I'll be once my LO is here.. I'm so excited for that I wonder if I'll have my LO before you go in for your c sec, or if I'll go over due and have him after! We shall see!

 

[lil lovey]

Your LO should be a good boy and come when his due. Not fair to keep you waiting for so long

 

[bsd]

I AGREE! I really hope he'll be an even better boy and come sooner for momma No pressure or anything baby but the sooner you come the happier I'll be!!

 

[lil lovey]

Lolthat would be a bonusCome on baby, Come! Life is much better when your with mommy

 

[bsd]

I know I keep telling him there is a much bigger world if he'd just come out! I'm sure he can't be too comfortable in there he's definitely running out of room..

 

[lil lovey]

Hehe...boys have always been stubbornthey do what they want n their way only. Guess you have to wait

 

[x__amour]

Congrats on full term! Not much longer!

 

[bsd]

I know I really do not want to wait three more weeks!
But its so amazing knowing that I really don't have much longer and the 20 days I have left will be nothing compared to the 250 I've been counting down..
I still can't believe how close I am!

So weird thinking in 3-5 weeks there will be a baby! Lol also if you try induce labour stick to walking and things, I'd stay clear of nipple stimulation, pineapple and definitely reflexology as I tried it and my LO was distressed for 38 hours and I missed a section by the skin of my teeth! And RLT doesn't bring on labour, just helps strengthen your uterus, but tbh starting at 37 weeks might be a bit too late.. Sorry for that downer there, but yaaaay full term!
Not long now!

 

[lil lovey]

Its exicting and scary to think about it. Its getting so close. I really do remember first finding out and just told myself its going to take forever hey lol and it didn't.

I know I'm am so impatient thinking about it!!
And how come you think it was the nipple stimulation and pineapple that made him distressed? I don't want to hurt him or anything and I REALLY don't want a c sec so if anything I'm doing can up those chances I'd like to stop now!!
I have a hard time going for walks because it's winter out where I live right now and its freezing And I have no one to go with so I'm also scared I'll slip in the snow or something.. I'm an independent person but I feel like being almost 9 months pregnant walking around by myself just isn't a good idea right now lol
And I really didn't know what the RLT does, I herd it was good for your uterus and I though that it couldn't hurt!
