Ok...I'll let you guys off the hook after this weekend. But come Monday everybody needs to report in that they have their bags packed, camcorders ready, digital camaras charged, after birth snacks stowed away, and a list of all important numbers! (SMILE)
I have 42 more days now - I'm 34w today. I haven't been feeling as many BH lately but maybe it is all the other pains I'm feeling taking center stage now - lots of stretching lately. I think I get bigger every day! I know I am - the stretch marks are making their appearance now right around my belly button :( I was hoping they wouldn't show up! DH says, but you use cocoa butter every day! Silly man thinks that will actually prevent them!
My feet are starting to look huge all the time now, not just at the end of the day. I'm really hoping at my next appt (next Wed) that the doctor will tell me to slow down and sign my disability papers for the following week - his standard procedure is 36 weeks - so I hope that means he will sign papers for me or I can't afford to stop working yet. I am so done though, I'm keeping my fingers crossed - I think that is the only part of my body I'm still able to cross!!
I don't want to get yelled at, but my bag is not yet packed either. Although I plan to do it this weekend - I've started shopping the last 2 days on my lunch break so I have travel shampoo, conditioner, deoderant, etc and now new pajamas for the hospital and a few new nursing bras. I think I have most everything I need, just have to put it all in one place now and maybe throw a few things in the car (extra pillows and a portable cd player)
I had my appointment yesterday (the 29th) and all is well with us too. I have been having horrible contractions and really thought i was in a labor at one point but luckily they subsided. I am 32 weeks and really dont see myself making it to June 25th....i cant wait to meet my little man. i am glad to hear everyone is doing well though!
Now I thought I've already fussed at all of you ladies and gave you my "have your bags packed speech!" (SMILE)
We are all within days of eachother. I've started my countdown 47days to go, which when you think about it still seems like such along time. People see me waddling by and always stop and ask "any day now right?" I want to say no heffa I still have another month, but I smile and realize I have to admit I do look huge!
June 13th is my due date, even though I'll probably pass it by. I think that would be awesome to deliver on friday the 13th. Glad everything else is going well for the both of you, I haven't been getting as many BH as I did about 10 weeks ago, go figure. I also need to pack a bag and get someone for on call to take my girls when we deliver. I have my 35 week appt next Friday May 9. I also have had alot of pain lately in that region as well, it even hurts to cross my legs, lol! It's getting closer for all us!!!
Glad to hear everything is going so well! I had my appt. yesterday also!! I am now 34w 3d!! The doctor did another u/s so that he could confirm that it is a boy, which is what the tech said she thinks it is at 16w, but unfortunately, he didn't cooperate, and had his legs crossed. So, I am assuming the tech was right and that we are having a boy!! I am also having a lot of bh contractions!! Quite uncomfortable at times!! I wish the doc would have checked me to see if I am dialating at all, but he didn't. I am having a lot of pressure way down in my pubic bone. Hurts to walk and sit up straight!! I go back in 2w and then start the every week appt's. I really need to get started on packing a bag, but keep putting it off!! Hope everyone else is doing well!!
