Baby Watch

I had my 38 week/3 day appt today and I am 2-3 cm dilated and Miss Thing (the baby with no name still) is at a minus 2 station. Plus I am having contractions. And pressure. And generally feeling very crabby and achy and in pain and ready for this to be over.

My OB said he thinks we should have a baby over the weekend.

So I am packing a hospital bag, rounding up childcare for Jack, letting my dad know he needs to pack his bag so he can stay with Jack and otherwise wrapping up odds and ends here.

I know it could still be 11 days or more, but I am going to be positive and hope that this weirdness I am feeling means she is coming sooner rather than later.

So many of you have been with us on every step of this two year journey and I know you get it when I say this is both an exciting and yet very anxious time for us. I could use all of your good thoughts and prayers and positive energy that she will arrive soon (very soon!) and without too much drama.

Thank you! (Hopefully I will see you on the flip side with a new baby very soon. Otherwise I will be back to show you her room and continue to moan about my increasing discomfort. LOLOL)

Praying and sending you tons of "easy labor" vibes!!!!!! Maybe tonight is the night. When my water breaks it always happens at night, so be prepared. I can't wait to see pics and finally hear what her name is.

Good luck to you. Hope it is an easy, quick labor. You could hold off til Tuesday and have her on Marjorie's birthday. ;) KIDDING! I know what those last few weeks are like and if she wants to get her for snuggles sooner that would be great. Can't wait for pictures of that darling little girl.

thinking of you & little-miss-no-name. when i was pregnant the first time, my doc told me to expect to have the girls by 34 weeks. try 4 weeks later. glad to know you are aware that it could still be much longer (and we all know that 11 days is an eternity to a 9 month pregnant mama!)

I don't think I have ever commented before but I wanted to say that yes, I have been reading quite awhile, through your struggles and remember being so pleased when you announced you were expecting this little one. Now, I am thrilled we will get to meet her soon! Sending happy wishes your way!

My prayers are with you. And how about "Jacintha" for a name? It is hyacinth in french - it is also the name of a stone on the wall in the Temple in New Jerusalem... Just a Suggestion.
