I hear you on the sleep!!! The most I get in any one night is 5 hours!! I still have to pack my bag... I can get most of it ready, just stuff to wear while at the hostpial... I hate hospital gowns!! I wanted to buy a couple pairs of workout capris because they are so comfy but I don't feel like going to the store now!

Other then that I AM READY!!! I don't want him out till he is ready but I wish he was ready now!! Uncomfortable is an understatement!!! I am only comfortable when laying on my left side but then my arms go numb... My blood pressure is being watched like a hawk! I have already gone in once and told to go in EVERYTIME the bottom number is over 95 for over 2 hours which is everyday!! So I am going to have to make a budget for hospital parking... lol!!!!

We have all come so far to get here and all have our stories that brought us here... It is amazing to know we are finally in the home stretch and will be holding our little miracles soon!!

I am soooooo ready to get off of bedrest!! Just 13 more days and I'm in clear! It's miserable not being able to clean and cook and get baby things ready. NOTHING is ready yet!! I haven't even packed my bag!! I'm hanging on at 4cm right now so when I do go into labor, I'm hoping it will be quick!! Today had a lot of contractions and back pain with them, but glad they didn't come in a pattern. I was starting to get a little nervous today! I am having my babyshower the day I come off of bedrest on June 11th!! :) I'm excited for that. Then I will get everything washed and set up the crib and finish shopping and by then I will probably have my lil girl from all the moving around!! haha I can't believe how close we are now! I'm nervous and excited and can't really sleep anymore, If I get 3-5 hours a night, it's been a good night! haha Must be my body's way of preparing for things!

Leyisel- wear your husband's boxers/briefs..... i had to do that straight throught the first trimester as i couldnt stand the pressure from panties. Trust me, they work miracles :)

when all else fails go commando! i take off everything as soon as i get home from work. tshirt and panties is all i wear after 4pm!

I am READY to go. Bags packed, room set up, (some) cloths washed, and debating on installing the carseat. When should we put the carseats in the car?

I am anxious to have her. I LOVE feeling her move and even the look of being pregnant, but i have so many fears of something "going wrong" that im scared and ready to be done.

I'm so ready for this to be over! I know I still have 7 more weeks to go, but it really feels like she could come at any day now. She finally flipped the rest of the way on Monday (she was transverse up until then). I've been losing pieces of my mucus plug for about a week now (just small pieces at a time). My contractions are getting more and more intense (it's hard to breathe through them most of the time), and they make my back hurt something awful! They're not coming in regular intervals though, so I know they're not real contractions. I'm still working full time and it's really starting to take it's toll on me. By the time I get home I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open!

I've pretty much got everything ready for her. Crib is ready, clothes are washed, diapers & wipes on hand, etc. I even got my hospital bag packed and by the door. My labor with my last baby was only 1hr 20min, so I've made sure I'm ready to get to the hospital in a hurry if need be!

I hear ya!!! I have such trouble sleeping...if i wake up to use the washroom i can't get back to sleep!! It's my arms that go numb and limp and then pain when i try to hold onto something...oh the joys of the third trimester!!!

I spent the other evening in labor and delivery because my blood pressure was through the roof but it came down while i was there! Baby boy was ok and happy, no clue what was going on!!

I too am so excited to meet him finally!!! I am sooooo ready for him to be here. I go sit in his room everyday just imaging what it will be like when he is here!!
