Well, I hadn't posted for a while cause the only thing that's been going on is waiting for this baby to come out. Now, I don't think I would be so anxious about it this early on (she's due a week from Tuesday), but things have been happening to make me think that it'll be any day now. I've been contracting and... uh... losing things you might lose right before you deliver. Nuff said.
The contracting started last Sunday morning. And then stopped. Then, I had my membranes stripped for the second time on Wed. at my apt. And nothing. Then I contracted a little this morning and got really excited. And then it stopped. And I'm still losing that thing you lose (if you're a guy, ask your wife or mom. And sorry if it's tmi). Then I cried. Ugh.
See, if none of these things happened at all, I really think I would be more content with things right now. I would sit back and just wait for this little girl to show up. Chad and I still can't quite agree on a name. We have one we'll probably go with, but then finding a middle name has been nuts. So, maybe we need this time. Maybe she'll show up when we pick a name... which means it could be quite a while!
Anyway, I didn't want to post my waiting game woes for all of you to read cause I read the very beginning of this blog a few days ago and realized all I did was complain before Cameron was born. I took off work three weeks before he was due, but then didn't know what to do with myself during the day. I knew that I complained vocally, but forgot that I wrote it out for all to read and remember 2 years later!
So, that's where I'm at. A little cry this morning and then going back to bed (the contracting started at 4:30am) helped me feel a little bit better. I might walk around the mall or something today. My OB is on-call tomorrow, so maybe that's what this girl is waiting for! My OB didn't deliver Cameron, and I wonder if I would have torn so badly had she been there to help guide him out. We'll never know. But it would be nice to have her there. The other time she's on call is on my due date, the 21st. Who knows? Cameron came on HIS due date. We'll see.

Wow. Good luck with the wait. I know it's no fun. Blech. BUT you're so close to having that baby! I'm happy for you already and excited to hear the name you guys (will) pick(ed). :)
At least little Pinkie isn't estimated at 10+ lbs like Jess & Clay's big man! I know ... it's not much consolation when you feel so ugh all the time. Hang in there ... the waiting's almost over.
Mom
Oh you are so close. I can totally relate to the feelings of misery and feeling like the baby will NEVER come, but she will. I am impressed with all your walking. I couldn't even go grocery shopping because by the time i walked around Walmart I was dizzy and would almost faint. Maybe it was my HUGE baby weighing me down:)
We are so excited to hear the big news! Good luck.
:) How's it going? It sounds like your babe is a tease. ;)
You and that new baby are in our prayers. It's no fun waiting for a baby to arrive and all the complications and discomfort that can accompany pregnancy. But it'll all be over soon and that new baby will make it all worth it. Good luck picking a name. Let everyone know as soon as she arrives.
She's due within three days of my daughter's birthday. Raising a Leo daughter is a particular challenge in patience *grins*.
Seriously - she's got you waiting now - she's going to make you wait on her the rest of her life. *chuckles* Hang in there sis. Give us a post on how you're doing?
