I'm here! Doesn't look like Boston is getting here anytime soon, I don't think...well, it'll be sometime between now and the 22nd, which is when they'll induce if he doesn't show up (mid 41 weeks). Waiting....

 

[Nixilix]

Too exciting!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

TryFor/Julia might be really close too - her docs are observing her at least twice a week. It IS really exciting!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Hi Ladies! I hope you don't mind me setting up camp in here until Milo arrives and I start a parenting journal. I just feel strange setting up a pregnancy journal for my last few weeks. But I'm starting to have lots of down time at work and will go on maternity leave soon, so I'd like to post more. For instance, all the gals have been awesome about making due date guesses:

LuckyD: 1/1 8 lbs 8 oz
MyTurnYet: 1/2 8 lbs 5 oz
SquirrelGirl: 1/2 8 lbs 5 oz
Dee: 1/2 8 lbs 5 oz
Soph77: 1/3 8 lbs 6 oz
Titi: 1/3 8 lbs 2 oz, around 5 pm
DrGomps 1/4 8 lbs 11 oz, 20 inches
Honeybee: 1/5 8 lbs 9 oz
TryFor: 1/7 8 lbs 8 oz 5:07 pm

It is kind of funny posting about myself rather than stalking other people's journals and pirating them occasionally! So I've been having weekly appointments with the midwives and will attend my last childbirth class tonight. Because I am 36 the midwives wanted me to do weekly non stress tests and amniotic fluid tests. The non stress test is 20 minutes in a chair with both a baby heartbeat and a contraction monitor. The amniotic fluid is checked with an ultrasound - they look for four pocket of fluid in each quadrant of my bump. We get sneak peaks at Milo too : ) All of these tests and check ups have gone well, except...

Milo is is lying "left occiput transverse". He is head down, which is good, but his back is on my left hand side. It would be better if his back were against the front of my bump (anterior). I think that most babies shift once labor gets started, but my midwives have suggested that I do lots of cat cow yoga poses throughout the day to encourage him to get anterior. I've been doing that, so I hope it will help convince him.

Put me down for the 3rd Jan 8lb6oz

Jaimie, I was thinking of starting a parenting journal too. I didn't do a ttc or pregnancy one but think I want to get in on the action

Anyway............................. waters have broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am timing contractions until the boys wake up (which will be withinthe hour) and then calling the hospital!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Woohoo Soph! I'm so incredibly stoked for you. I hope your labor progresses beautifully and that all goes well. We'll be thinking of you!

 

[Titi]

would love to have two new journals to stalk-you both better do it!!!!!!!!!

 

[LuckyD]

Good luck Soph!!!!!! How exciting!! Thinking of you xx

Yes, both of you better start parenting journals so you can be properly stalked!

Nice to have somewhere to track you down Jaimie....won't post again about posterior babies as have done that already in various journals around BnB!
