Jen that is soo awesome!! You will be going in on tuesday and I will be going in on wednesday and Robin is either gonna go this weekend or on wednesday/thursday after she has her next doc appt. and they strip her membranes. Robin, I am surprised they didnt do that already, my doc wanted to start doing mine at 36wks but I am only a fingertip dialated so she couldnt. Oh I cant wait to see when we all have our babies and what they are and how big they are. Robin, I think if your granny says this weekend then its prolly going to happen (they are old and wise) just keep walking and jumping down stairs *laugh* I really dont want to go this weekend though, would like to get one last weekend of work in. Its soo nice too because my work is allowing me to have my baby at work with me, seen as I am going to be nursing. This week I am going to use the time to finish cleaning everything, get a pedicure, shave, buy any extra things I might need at the hospital and then relax, I know on Tuesday night I am not going to be able to sleep at all ( i wasnt able to with my first induction either) what are you ladies all planning on taking to the hospital with you? I am going to take the basics, plus some baggy pj's, and extra pads *laugh* For the baby though I have onsies, blankets, gown, hat, mittens, first outfit, nuks and socks. (its only 40 degrees around here) I have my last counciling appt. before the baby is born tomorrow, Im still being depressed at times, just a little excited with the induction and now my 2 yr old is sick and I hope he gets better in the next week. Well I need some sleep.. Good luck ladies, I hope you all go very soon!! and Robin we will be here for you until your baby comes, even if I have to call your doc and beg him/her to induce you next week *laugh* bye :)

Thanks Ashlie I appriciate that. Its good to know you will be able to take your baby to work not a lot of women have that chance. I really hope it will happen this weekend I can't take any more. I was reading that brown sugar can help induce labor, I am not sure if it works but I think that I am going to try. Wish me luck. Oh I'm only taking the basic plus a portable cd player so I can listen to music and so it can help me get through the contraction. Well talk to you tomarrow.

Hi Ladies, well I see we are all still here and ASHLIE if you do all those things your for sure going to go into labor this weekend, it sounds like your already nesting.lol. I packed my bag about a month ago, I don't even remember whats in it I suppose I should look. lol. CD player sounds like a great idea. Robin I am praying your gram is right and you go this weekend. Well when I was at the docs yesterday he gave me an anti depress. med so that I don't go into post pardum depress. I feel a little better know I think just knowing when. It gives me a sense of there being light at the end of the tunnel. If that makes sense. Well I think I am going to take a nap and relax, This little guy is killing my back. We decided to name our little boy Tyler William. Talk to you soon.

Hi ladies, I dont see a post yet!!! SO DOES THAT MEAN GOOD NEWS??? I hope so!! This will prolly be my last post until monday seen as I have to work 12hrs on saturday and sunday and dont get home til about midnight on both nights. Since I woke up this morning my tummy has been crampy and feels like a few mild contractions, about every half hour, but now its like, I dont want him to come until next week, lol I am hoping that by the time I come back after this weekend you girls will have had your babies, especially Robin. I still have a few things to do, yesterday I finished cleaning everything, and finished decorating the house for halloween, paid up all the bills so now its just personal relaxation for the next 4 1/2 days. Jen, are you worried about c-section at all?? I am, not only because im being induced but because the babies head isnt in the birth ca___l yet and he is soo big, I was try to see how big his head was when they were doing my ultrasound and im pretty sure it said 9.63cm!!! and you only dialate to 10, so im scared. I had my last counciling appt. last night. My councilor wants me to come in a week after I have the baby incase she has to give me anti-depressants. Well good luck ladies, have a safe and relaxing weekend. *sending many labor wishes your way* EEEHH!! Im soo excited thinking that you girls could be having your babies right now!! :) talk to you all on Monday unless your in the hospital !!!!!!!

 

Robin - October 21

Hey ahslie- I'm still prego and out of all the thing that I have done aroung the house you would think that I would have had her by now. I can slowly start to feel the depreesion coming on again because nothing I do seems to work and I really just want to get this baby out, not to mention I have so many other things on my mind, like bills I can't afford to pay hoping they do reposes my car. Its so many thiing I wish I could be care free anf relax, but that not going to happen. Even when I go to the doc next week there could be a chance that she might just have me wait another week. This is really getting hard. Well I wish everyone the best and hope that you will enjoy every moment with your new little ones soon. Guess I'll talk to you all next week. Take Care.

I am still here too. Oh what will I have to look forward to this weekend if nobody is going to post. Well ashlie you have to much energy for me. I am just relaxing and enjoying being lazy at this point. Robin, trust in god, pray, it will all work out, youll see. Even if some of the bills don't get paid, god never shuts a door on you without opening a window. Don't let the depression get to you again. Go to church on sunday, and pray who knows what could happen. God is blessing you with a beautiful baby that will be here soon, 10 more days at the most right, out of 9 months only ten more days. And I know what your thinking, I am only saying that because i am being induced tuesday, and your probably right or these anti-depress are starting to work. But just think it was almost a month ago we all started talking and only a few more days left. I will also pray for you. I will write on sat and sun to let you know if I am still here.

Well it is saturday morning, I know I said I prolly wasnt going to post over the weekend, but I just love talking to you girls soo much. Im just about ready to get going to work so I thought I would pop on and see how everyone was doing. Last night I finished my shopping, bought another nursing bra and some nursing pads for at the hospital. I tried the s_x thing last night again, not really to try to induce but to get my cervix ready for the big day, seen as I havent been progressing at all. I am just soo worried about c-section it is driving me insane, they say 1 out of 6 women have them. Ryan (my first son) was 8lb 1.1oz when he was born and that was a week over due and now Andrew is 8lb 1oz at 38wks?? ahhh.. I just keep having nightmares about trying to push him out. Sounds like Jen & I are having boys and Robin is having a girl. lucky duck, Ive been wanting a girl. although I do plan on having 2 more after this one, it will be just my luck to end up with 4 boys. I dont know if I told you girls that I live in Wisconsin, moved up here from Florida with my mom when I was younger. Almost all of my family lives down there and I havent seen them in at least 6 years and with the hurricane going through I am hoping they will hope on a plane and come stay with us. Robin, I know exactly how you must feel, when I was pregnant with my first son a lot of my girl friends were prego at the same time and alot of them had their inductions scheduled way before mine and I was actually really jealous but in the end it was worth the wait but I really do hope that your little girl comes early as you need your sanity and I really think she will be able to change things around for you. She is gods precious little gift of love and joy to you. When is your next doc appt? I would demand some stripping of the membrane, and a good one too lol and you could always ask your doc if there is anything you can do to move things alone a bit quicker. Good luck ladies, I hope you all go very soon. I am off to work for 12 hrs and will most likely talk to you girls on Monday!

So far I am still here. Which is good, I can wait a couple more days. My aunt is flying in tommorow to help me with my daughter and to be there with my husband and i when I deliver. She was there when my daughter was born too. Well today sunday and monday then the big day. Robin I hope you are feeling better today. Ashlie you need to knock it off, you have way to much energy and to still be working....you crazy girl. I actually have some energy I just re-organized all my closets, don't ask me why, I think they were just annoying me. lol. Well I will talk to you girls soon.

 

Robin - October 22

Hey ladies i'm still here, last night I had some contractions, but I noticed that they went away when I went to bed. So Today I am just going to do a lot of walking and see what happens. OH I have a sister who is one year older then me and she was pregnant to. We were a month apart. Anyway I haven't talked to here in months cause she had no place to stay and she had no phone, but my parent called me to tell me that she had her baby and it was a girl 6lbs 8oz around 2:00 this morning. So I had a chance to talk to here and I hope she goes and stay with my parents she needs someone to help her and I can't be there like I want cause she is in california. Well Thanks for the advice guys I'm trying to keep my spirts high but some people are not letting me do that (husband). So hopfully the day gets better. Talk to you guys later. Jen I'll keep posting so we can look forward to talking again. Take Care.

 

Ashlie - October 23

Oooh ladies, am I ever sooo tired.. lol, tuesday is going to be soo nice, i am going to sleep alllll day! Not only did I have to work yesterday but then at the last minute they decide they want me to train someone else to take over part of my job (payroll) while I am gone, and they give me only an hour to do it, so I end up working til midnight and not getting home til 1am and then I had to get back up this morning at 8am so I could get back to work and try to finish training this person, nice 13hr shifts, ahh!! Well I just wanted to vent, good luck ladies and I will talk to you on monday! (if you are still here)

 

Robin - October 24

Hey ladies- still here hope at le3ast one of you have had your baby. How was your weekend, mine was okay church was the best part. Well today I cleaned up again, but this time I feel like my baby is sitting in right in between my legs and she keep pushing and she is sitting an a nerve so I have these sharp pains everytime she moves. Plus my back feels my body is going to splight in half. So I'm going to try to stay busy so wish me luck. Hope to hear from you guys later.

 

Robin - October 24

Well I don't see any postings that must mean you guys are at the hospital. I hope you are. I'm still here dealing with these menstural cramps and tight feet & ankles, Backaches, having to go to the rest room constently. Well hope to meet your little one soon. Talk to you later. Take care.

 

Ashlie - October 24

Hey Robin! I feel your pain, probably means she is going to be here soon, she is trying to push her way out, lol. Jen hasn't posted in 2 days, I wonder if she had her baby?? Today is a really bad day, I am soo sick, I some how got a cold and now I am all stuffed up and I have a runny nose. I had to go to the hospital today for a stress test on the baby, he pa__sed, which was good. But my legs and feet are sooo swollen, it doesnt even look like I have toes or ankles. They did some blood tests and urine sample to make sure I didnt develope toximia. So tomorrow is my relaxation day, although I still have to do some clothes, clean my car and finish cleaning up my room. I hope you are keeping yourself busy, have you been trying any type of self inductions?? Well I will be back on tomorrow to see how things are going with you, and hopefully Jen hasnt posted because she had her baby, but tomorrow is her induction either way so I doubt we will hear from her for a couple of days. Well take care, talk to you tomorrow.

 

ROBIN - October 25

Hey Ashlie, well last night I had some of the worst back pain and my stomach was so tight, but I manage to make it through the night. When I woke up this morning I thought the pain had all went away until I got up and started feeling it again, but for some reason it doesn't feel like I could be in labor, but my neighbor said that I am probably experiencing prelabor. I don't want to go to the hospital and have them tell me oh this is not it just go home and relax. I don't want hear that. So I tryed to eat a bowl of oatmeal but could finish it cause I started feeling sick neasus so I stoped and feed the rest to my son. I'm kind of nervous because I don't know if this is it. Plus there is no one around to take me to the hospital so I don't know what to do. hope to hear from you today. Hope jen is going to get to hold her baby today.

 

Ashlie - October 25

Hey Jen, Sorry that you are feeling ill, sounds like prelabor though, alot of women get really sick to their stomachs before they go into labor, Ive been really sick to my stomach today, but I think its nerves. I am spose to go out to eat tonight with my parents, which is the same thing I did the night before I was going to be induced with my first son and ended up not being able to eat because I was soo sick to my stomach. Plus I have a mild case of the flu and am just starting to get over it, Ive been taking extra vitamins hoping it will make the cold go through me faster. I really hope this is it for you, it would be soo great if we could all have our babies in the same week. when do you go back to see your doctor again? How far have you progressed? as far as dialation and everything like that? as far as I know I am still a fingertip and the baby wasnt in the birth ca___l, which makes me really worried with being induced because I think that may increase my chances of a c-section, well I will find out all those things tomorrow I guess. I slept in today and it was soooo nice. I am just finishing up my laundry and then I am going to go out to eat, come home and clean my car and then take a bath and then my fiance is going to paint my toe nails for me, what a sweety huh? Well Keep me posted, j_u_g_z@hotmail.com - that is my email address in case you want to email me instead! Good luck hunny!!!

 

Ashlie - October 26

Robin - the last message was spose to say Robin not Jen at the beginning, lol sorry. Well Today is the day, it is 5:30am here. I guess that is the down fall with being induced, you just can't get a wink of sleep. I actually didnt think I was going to sleep at all but I did manage to get 6 hours. But I was up like every 2 hours checking the clock plus I was soo uncomfortable it was hard to relax. I am hoping to be home on Friday and then I can let you girls now how everything went. Oh Robin, this is horrible.... My mind is just racing with thoughts and fears, what if I have a c-section, what if something happens to the baby, what if I tear again like I did with my first son. So many things are going through my head right now I think it is going to explode. Well time to go, keep me in your thoughts, Im freaking out right now. Bye hun and good luck I hope you go today too.. :)
