I said that since you had your bloody show it would probably be very soon....wooohooo! So looks like another baby on the way! TODAY is my due date and I'm feeling NOTHING out of the ordinary, lol...I have a nonstress test (NST) at the hospital in 1/2 hour so I have to go get ready. Will post later

Hey everyone...srry I haven't been on. I have been having contractions or something...They were terrible this morning and when I went to the bathroom after they started slowing down I lost some of my mucus plug...and had a lil bit of blood in it. Sooo I dont know when or whats gunna happen haha. That would be so cool if i went today because Today is my due date..Im officially 40 weeks pregnant haha. Im still having some contractions but they aren't to bad cuz I still am walking around I figure that will progress things along. How is everyone doing?? It gets quieter and quieter as the month goes on lol. So cross ur fingers for me...and hopefully i will go today or tomorrow. Im already at 3 cms and 70% effaced...and My doc says i will definatly go this week. But if not I will get admitted to the hospital thursday night to have this gel put on my cervix every 3 hrs then Friday morning I will get induced. Hopefully i will go on my own. But with all the stuff that has been happening I think i will go pretty soon *contractions, I broke out bad (zits), lost part of my mucus plug, lil bit of a bloody show...* I sure hope so. All of this happened today and yesterday too lol. Well srry its so long...I'll check in later

Wow, very tired today. We went to the test and all looked fine I guess because I was hooked up to the monitors for about an hour and then sent home. I wanted to nap but family is here so we will be running around all day. Hope to hear from Elena that she has her baby soon! I'm kind of bummed it's my due date today and nothing at all is happening. I haven't even lost my plug!!!

CEECEE how awful for you....I know I have been MIA lately I am just really tired still - my doctor got on me for doing too much so I have a feeling I will be posting a lot more part of my incision has lost it's glue...it will still close as usual but I need to just relax and rest. I didn't really get any instructions when I was discharged - so I can't drive for 2 more weeks and no lifting and no stairs except for when I come down in the morning and when I go up at night. So my mom is waiting on my hand and foot and while I thought i would love it I kinda feel weird even Cor is waiting on me too....My little Megan is doing great even at night! Ok girls I will catch up with the other postings later Marcy got here and we are going to relax and rest together. xoxo girls I can't wait until the rest of you deliver. Everyone with my number keep me posted day or night.

Wow, Charli that sounds like bloody show to me too! I bet you'll have Brooklynn before the end of the weekend!!! Damn, I'm seriously starting to think something is wrong with my body not doing anything, lol! I have friends calling me a lot now asking if I've had her and then giving me a million suggestions on what to do to get labor coming. I've tried most but don't want to do herbs and stuff. I never got a membrane sweep...I wish I'd asked at my dr's appt. Tuesday. I don't see her again now until induction!

I sure hope it is tonite lol...Stef my doctor says that sometimes women with there first child it takes longer cuz their bodies dont nessisarly know what to do...if that makes sense. haha.

They come and go...Im thinking I will probably go tomorrow or so...But I definatly had a lil bit of a bloody show and am loosing my mucus plug a lil bit at a time....Good Luck Stef I hope you get lucky =)

Sounds good! We had s_x again this morning and I was all excited when we left to go to the store because I thought my water broke so I ran to the bathroom and it was *ahem* something else, LOL! Oh well.....I didn't even get a dang contraction out of it! I'm thinking I will walk later, but it's so hot out today and our A/C broke in the car again so we had to run errands and I was sweating my a__s off. NOw I'm in the nice cool house and want to sleep. I figure after today I only have 2 full days left till induction anyways, so might as well enjoy and hang out, huh?

Been loosing my mucus plug still...its so gross tmi probably...So pray for something to happen lol. I am. Yea we dont have AC sooo I am dying of heat!!

Hi ladies, I had contractions all night and it sucked. I got virtually no sleep and I am miserable. My induction is 12 days away and I really hope I go before then. My plug is already gone and I have so much pressure in my crotch it's horrible. Our 2 and a half year old daughter slept until 10:15 this morning, so atleast I didn't have to get up at 7am. Hopefully since I was 2cm last thursday I will be 4cm come next week. God knows I have been on my exercise ball enough and walking all over the place. Sounds like you ladies will be soon too. I have the AC on 68* and I am still sweating like crazy. It helps to know I 'm not the only one who is miserable. LOL

If it weren't for my induction coming up so quickly I'd say you two will most likely go before me. I am seriously predicting this week for both of you. I've not seen a smidge of my plug and honestly I don't have a lot of pressure in the crotch. I almost bought an exercise ball today, but though it pointless with a couple days to go. I know it would help get me ready for labor, but I'm just going to try some squats I think. Only downer to those is it makes my leg muscles hurt so bad they shake (I'm pretty out of shape at this point, lol).

My exercise ball came with a pump and an ab workout for later. If you could find one with those things included it would probably be worth getting. I only paid $16.99 for mine at Fred Meyer. I got my baby to drop in less than a week. Remember, the lower the baby in your pelvis when it comes time to push, the less pushing you have to do (usually). Also, the ball is a lot easier on your legs. Anyway, I don't think I will be going this week. I have had a few contractions today, but nothing like last night. I am a bit bummed, but at the same time, my house is a wreck, and we needed today to finish the nursery. I am so happy with how it turned out. I used a transportation theme, cars, boats, planes and trains. My mom found me three old prints one of old cars, one of an old steam engine at the train station, and another of an old truck. Then my aunt gave me a really cool big old photo of an airplane, then I ordered a re-print photo of the Titanic. I had them all matted and framed. We found a crib set and it looks so great. I am still waiting on my nightstand, and a new crib side, because one of them isn't attaching quite right. We do still have to buy blinds and install the closet system, but that is it. How are your nurserys decorated? How are you ladies feeling today?
