Holy EJ that is exactly when I was up last night. I"m getting the same back pain, then it goes away.HOw nice. I'm getting so annoyed! We must be close though!

Crazy Aryanna- At about 10:30 I got in a warm bath and woke up at 11:30!!!! I just totally dozed off and didn't hear a thing...I woke up to prune hands and cold water! ha! Amazingly I have felt great (well not at all great-but great compared to last night!) the rest of the day. Except after our walk- my back hurt but it wasn't that same hurt...the pain last night was just that dull aching pain going into my hips and b___t and thighs and it came and went....It has to be something....maybe we will both go into labor tomorrow! ha! :)

Oh what a miserable night, from yesterday afternoon til about 1:00 this morning, baby was pushing down so hard that I could barely walk, sitting was almost impossible, the only thing that took the pressure off my pubic bone and rear end was laying down, but then that caused my back to hurt, I couldn't get comfy, took me like 5 min just to try and roll over lol. Oh, I think I am just so anxious because this is my last one and can't wait to see him and be comfy again. I may still not be able to sleep through the night, but at least it will be to get up and feed a baby, not to pee, or acid reflux, or my hip going numb or such ugly back pain. I can't wait. It sounds like we all needed a nice warm bath or shower last night to ease that back pain, maybe it was the moon.lol. How is everyone else dreaming, My dreams are so real towards the end and sometimes very scarey. Hope you are all feeling better this morning.

I had horrible back pain last night too. I also had such uncomfortable contractions that I kept wondering if last night would be the night. Everytime I had to get up to go to the bathroom the baby was putting so much pressure on my bladder that I wasnt sure if I would make it and I had to hobble there like and old lady from the hip pain. Im so ready for him to be here. My parents will be here tonight so thats all Im waiting for.

Bummer on the back pain for everyone. Well last night was better for me in regards to the back pain but dang I had to get up 6 times to go to the bathroom-6 times!!!!! My folks took our son so we could go on a date night- we had a nice time and then were so excited to sleep in and guess who was up at 5:50-bright eyed!!! I did fall back to sleep for alittle while...but Patience you were the first thing that popped into my mind...Patiences folks are coming today- she made it!! THen I was like...well hopefully she made it! ha! Just hang in there...just watch he will come tonight!! That's how these things work! With my son I needed to make it until May 13th- My contractions started at about 11:45pm on the 13th and I had him on the 14th!! :) Good luck to you all ladies. I know I am only 37 weeks but all of the sudden these last days of feeling "something" happening I am super anxious and now that I haven't felt a contraction or had a back ache I am back to be discouraged! ha! Oh well...I suppose enjoy the kicks while they are still there!!!

Dang girls, I had the worst night ever. I was so tired and couldn't fall asleep, I kept feeling so fidgety. SO I had a bath and finally went to bed, only to be awakened about an hour later feeling like I was going to throw up and feeling shaky. And my lower back hurt so bad. I was sure it was time! I can't seem to eat anything and I have heartburn so bad. I was so mad this morning. Where are the blasted contractions already. I will be 39 wks tomorrow.

Wow, who is it gonna be next? We are all getting so close! I've had some weird feelings going on too- last night & today I keep getting this tingling feeling all over. I usually get it in my hands & a lil in the arms & doc said it's normal due to increased blood volume, but this has been throughout my whole body. It's that feeling you get when ur arm or leg falls asleep. Anyone else getting this? I'm getting so impatient- went & bought some raspberry tea bags this morning & had a cup, it's worth a try, lol. I will never go to the extreme of castor oil, so I figured I'd try the tea- s_x hasn't done anything so far, but my b.f. isn't complaining, haha.

Wow ladies...after reading all your posts, I am getting discouraged...I don't think I have dropped...I am not sure if there is lightening or if he is engaging...I very sporadically have small shooting pains in my back...but that is about it. I was really active yesterday cleaning and lifting...and had some BH...but that was it...I am due in 12 days...I am not having any of your discomforts...I mean I am throwing up everything...but I have done that since 6 weeks...the only pain I am having is my hips and pubic bone when I am sleeping...but I am sleeping about 9 hours each night, and maybe getting up to use the ladies room maybe once or twice...should I consider myself lucky...or should I a__sume that I am nowhere near labor :( I have an appointment on Tuesday...but I do not think I am even going to have them check me...I feel pretty confident that there will be not dilation or effacement...I am going to be pregnant forever! I am sending all of my thoughts everyone's way for delivery soon!!!

Hi ladies! So chatty I had so much to read! It definately sounds like things are progressing for you all to some extent. Well I've been missing in action for a while now. Jaidyn Lee was born on the 25th!! He was 6 pounds and almost an ounce, dropped some of course before we left the hospital. The only thing wrong besides meconium in the fluid was he had blood sugar problems. I had just hit 36 weeks and was having a watery discharge, not quite enough to really worry me and could almost be confused with normal. But I went in to get checked at 10pm, just in case. She checked me and my water just poured out, haha! Almost happened the same as last time. We both got discharged yesterday and are doing great, its so so hard keeping him awake during feedings (bf) more than it was with my dd. They said it was just cuz he was early. I'll be posting the birth story and pictures on my website if you'd like to check them out. lifeis1drful.piczo.com I'll be back in a few days!! Can't wait to read birth stories!

Britt congratulations! So happy to hear you have your little boy and everything is going well. Im so jealous, I thought I'd be next! I will check out your birth story. I am 40 weeks in 2 days time...waiting waiting! I have an appointment today so fingers crossed...i can tell labor is very near though. JENFR i know exactly what you mean about the tingling/feeling like it's gone to sleep thing, mainly happens in my arms and hands when I"ve been asleep. PATIENCE, SIARD AND DESTINY...i am with you...so over get_tng up all night and the bad sleeping. It's so right, If I'm not sleeping well anyway I'd rather be getting up to my baby and not a toilet!! wish me luck!!

Britt, wow congrats! That's awesome! Welll girls, I had contractions yesterday for about 6 hrs straight, all about 20-30 min's apart. Then I fell asleep and woke up still pregnant this morning! But I actually the best night of sleep I've had in months so I wonder if my body was giving me what I needed and we can get on with it now. haha. Good luck Joey!

Hi girls, sorry its taken me ages to update but baby Malachi finally entered the world last Thursday 25th Sept, 2 weeks early but weighing in at 7lbs 13oz and very very healthy - no problems, everything working normally - and he is soo beautiful!!! I just love him so much. I had a horrendous time with the birth (started me off Monday am and he arrived thurs night) but it all ended well and now im just a bit sore and very tired. Normal delivery and it was amazing experience. I am going to write up everything that happened as soon as i can and post here, but i just wanted to let you all know first. Ok well i havent had time to read everyone elses posts so i hope your all hanging in there and getting excited. Your times will be here soon enough. I will try to post again with more detail soon. Take care everyone and Malachi sends you all big kisses! x x x x x

MissP and Britt - CONGRATS!! That's great news! So happy to hear you and your babies are all doing well. I will look forward to reading your baby stories! I have that same "falling asleep" tingly feeling on my right side. Feels like my right leg and arm are falling asleep. No progress yet on my part! My u/s due date is this Friday the 3rd! I'm a nerdy clean freak to begin with but something insane came over me this weekend and I've been cleaning NONSTOP! All my kitchen cabinets, fridge, car, house, laundry, etc... My DH threatend to take my mop, broom & Swiffer away from me if I didn't stop! My stomach is super tight and hard but no unusual "i'm having this baby" feelings just yet! I thought I may have had some BH's early this morning... gosh, I was getting so excited! Turns out, they were only gas pains! I'm telling you, this kid won't be here till Christmas! I'm going to be pregnant forever! Aryanna - sounds like you're getting close! I bet by this week you'll have the baby!

HI ladies. I had my shower yesterday it was absolutely wonderful. I have waited so many years to have a baby shower and it was everything I have always dreamed of, great food, great friends and family and fun had by all. I got pretty much all I asked for minus a few odds and ends, but I recieved tons of gift cards so they should cover what I didn't get. Anyway as for Sammie, I am so confused. The nurses tell us different things. First, the b___stmilk thing. The nurse last night said that because she's on b___stmilk frotifier, they have to wean her off the b___stmilk before she goes home because they won't send her home with fortifier, it's either b___stmilk or formula. They never told me that before. Then I was feeding Sammie yesterday and she's up to 35 cc's so they said I have to burp her halfway through, I did that, tried to burp her, then she fell asleep and I couldn't get her to finish the rest of her bottle. The nurse last night told me don't burp her halfway through because she'll lose interest and fall asleep. I have no clue which one I am supposed to be doing cuz each nurse tells us something different and why am I pumping when they're gonna wean her off my milk anyway? ANy of you with babies have any ideas?

Congrats ladies!!!! So exciting!!!! :) I am glad all the worrying can be over for both of you ladies and you have your healthy bubs in your hands!!!! I have my 37 week check today...highly doubt they will check me. I am with Mari- my house doesn't have ANY other things that could be cleaned unless I felt like re-cleaning things!! Ooh I made Aaron paint my toenails last night!!! I got annoyed because they turned out kind of c___ppy but then I thought....ok go easy on the guy he is painting you toes!!

Congrats Missp and Britt, I am sure all of us ladies here are a little jealous wishing we could be having ours too. I know that I am definetely ready to go. I think I have 7 days left. Who would have ever thought that 7 days, 2 or 3 weeks could feel as though its a lifetime away.haha. My husband tells me its only another week, and I tell him that, 7 days is forever when you have to pee 24/7 you can barely walk, blah blah blah. Poor guy. He is ready too, he says to hurry and have this baby so he can stop having sympathy pains for me. Well ladies, maybe tonight, right! We all wish. We should start taking bets on whos next and when. lol. Talk to you all soon, we are almost there even if it does seem like forever away.
