WE'RE IN THE HOME STRETCH!!!!!

Well ladies, I just wanted to congratulate everyone for reaching the home stretch!  Soon we'll be reading about labour pains and questions as to whether our labours are real or false and finally our birth stories.
I'm very excited to be here and thank you all for your support.  It's been a long and stressful road for many of us and I'm relieved to have made it this far!
Good luck to everyone and let the excitement begin!!!

The water works for me have slowed down a bit too now that I'm so much less stressed! I of course cry during A Baby Story but who wouldn't?!!!
I can't wait to meet my little boy...he's been high maintenance since his conception so I'm hoping it's out of his system since my 3 1/2 yr old already fills that roll in our family!!!
Are any of you having c-sections? I've had a c-section and a VBAC and I'm just thinking about when it was that I was given my section date.  My midwife is already talking labour plans etc...whoa...there's still some time left!

Time is creeping by ever so slowly for me.  I cannot believe I still have two months left!  

Oddly, I was a total crybaby before getting pregnant...yet I think I've only cried once since becoming pregnant.  Maybe it will all come back to me when the baby is born.

Oh my gosh-- I can't watch anything. I start bawling at commercials or for no reason at all. I have cried at each of my showers so far. I cried during the hospital tour. HA!  Maybe I'll run out of tears before I get to delivery  :-)

I wonder too. I was there as a birth coach for two of my cousins and I didn't cry when either baby was born which surprised me considering how much I cry at the shows lol. I think there was too much going on that it feels like you are dreaming. Oh I cant wait!!

Yup I've been watching Bringing Home Baby too! And Make Room for Multiples. I could watch these shows all day long. I wonder if we will cry when our own babies are born, or if we will just have so much going on in the moment that we will just feel it's surreal.

I have been watching that show too!  And Bringing Home Baby. Deliver Me is also a good one but not on very often. My husband and I watched Bringing Home Baby and A Baby Story one afternoon he was fascinated by it all and I was trying so hard not to cry when each baby was born lol

I agree that it's been a rocky but rewarding journey. I still cannot believe how fast it is going now and our precious boys and girls will be here before we know it. I have been watching A Baby Story lately and cant help but tear up when each and every baby is born. I'm going to be a blubbering baby when these kiddos are born.

Thank you!  It's amazing it's time to start talking about false vs real labor and birth stories before long!  Where did the time go.

It has been an amazing journey and i am so glad I've had you all there by my side through out it!
