ITS MAY LADIES!!!

Today is the start of our month!! how exciting. now its all the guess of who will go first and when.. lol.  So for this thread we will just keep an update on all appointments, what doctor saids and how your feeling, happy, sad, nervous, all of the emotions. I know its hard to keep them in!  So heres mine

Im due in 6 days!!  Im so determined to have him by mothers day, i want to be holdin my baby on mothers day, that would be the most amazing gift!  And I could never thank god enough!  Im so ready to meet my precious son, it has been such a long journey.  And i have always been a very impatient person, so this has been so hard for me.. 9 full months is a very very long time. lol.. Right now i cant think of a memory where I wasnt pregnant. lol.. I have even had 2 people ask me if I was pregnant again, that just shows how long this process is.  Im so blessed to be having this baby.  I have my 40 week check-up on Tuesday.  Im hoping not to make it there, but if I do, im hoping for a membrane sweep!  

Its so exciting to be at our month now ladies!!!  Whos gonna pop first???

Went to see my MD today.  I am one day away from my due date.  At my last appointment, I was dialated to 2cm.  When she checked this time, I was up to 2 1/2.  She said she could stretch me out to 3cm and try to loosen my cervix to get things started.  Let me say that hurt!  She asked me if I wanted to be induced and I told her not at this point.  I am going to try and let things happen naturally.  Hopefully, this jump starts things and I don't have to be preggo much longer : )  I told her if I make it to 41 weeks though, I am talking induction then - lol.

oh thats cool txbell 5/12 is also my hubbys bday! you must be so exited knowing it could be shortly after your procedure! talk about nervous!
well my update is this: 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced, so pretty nice progress. not huge but my body is doing what it needs to at its own pace! I am happy with that. I also learned that my little girl just might be a little on the heavy side, which I don't like hearing because labor with my second daughter was not fun! she was 8.5 and I felt every ounce! lol but I am scheduled to do an ultrasound tomorrow to check for fetal weight so my dr is assured she is not too big for me to deliver. I was shocked because I didnt think I gained too much this pregnancy- a total of 24 lbs so far so thats not bad... I just wish I was having another little 5 pounder like my firstborn :) So I get to take one more little peek at my baby before she comes, granted she doesn't come tonight that is. I am confident I can deliver a baby under 10 lbs. But I just hope shes not that big!

I'm not due until 5/31, but I'm having my cervical cerclage removed on 5/11 & the baby should be born within hours or days of that happening. We're super excited. 5/12 is our anniversary & 5/13 is the day my daughter was conceived so it seems like perfect timing!!

Good luck to everyone!!! :-)

i know exactly what you mean, its so freaking annoying.  I finally quit answer those phone calls.  Its like come on if i was in labor I would call you so quit calling me twice a day and asking me.  grrr... lol.. my DF thinks im being rude, but he has no idea.  and yes the constant "wow your huge" or "wow your gonna pop anytime now"  yea obviously im huge, im freaking 40 weeks pregnant, and ya hes gonna come anytime, i mean he cant stay in there forever lol..  And Im sick of my DF laughing and commenting on my fatfeet and cankels, and laughing at me when im eating.  Ugh Im def. over being pregnant, but  i know cant make him come when i want him to.  but thats another thing that im sick of hearing."he'll come when hes ready"  grrr Duh i know that.  Ugh isnt this great lol... 2 days till due date.. hope he comes soon!

Personally, I can handle the fact that I am still pregnant.  Besides my cankles, I am feeling okay.  What I am having a hard time dealing with now is other people.  I am growing sick of the never ending comments of, "you haven't had the baby" or "you shouldn't expect the baby to come early, because it's your first."  Add in the comments about how big my stomach is getting or people commenting on how much I eat, I just want to go crazy!  I am sick of hearing other people's opinion.  The baby will come when it comes and there's nothing I can do to control that.  So why can't people just leave me alone and let me be?!?!

Appointment didnt go as i wanted it to.  im 2cm dialated, and 90% effaced.  Doctor saids anytime now.. i scheduled me an appointment for the 11th, 4 days after my due date, and saids hell talk induction then if im still pregnant, but he saids hes sure ill go sometime before the end of the weekend.. I really hope so!! Im so anxious.  and i asked him to do a membrane sweep, he said he would do a semi one, what ever that means, so i hope whatever it is it worked, lol.. Ive been cramping since I left the office, so hopefully its something.  Oh and baby is stationed at -2, not all the way low, but doct said pretty low.

So I just had my check-up - no changes.  I am so looking forward to listening to more of "when are you going to have the baby" questions.

I have my 37 week check up on Wed. but I already know that baby Jordyn will be here on May 16th.  I have a scheduled c-section for that day.  It's really weird knowing the exact day your baby will be here.  I didn't have that with my first.  I will be almost 39 weeks at that point.  I still get checked just to see if I might go into labor but who knows.  I feel like I'm spliting in two down there!  Take care everyone!  I'm anxious to see baby arrival announcements soon!

I know how you feel about the appetite.  I lost mine for two weeks.  and then proly a few days ago I just got it back and I want everything,..  Especially Cherry coke.. yum yum! lol.  And I jsut ate a box of stale donuts cause they sounded so good.. Hubby opened them wrong so they got hard, but of course that didnt stop me from eating them..I really hope were both holding out babies before or on mothers day!!!

I agree! I went and got myself a celebratory bombstick and cherry dr pepper since i am so close :)
I am due in 8 days. hoping not to make it there too but if i do, and go on the 9th that would be awesome too, becoming a mother again for mothers day. 8 days isnt so bad, but i swear, me and this child are going on a marathon if i go one day over!!! I also do NOT want to be induced! I went to the art museum with my girls today and walked around at walmart looking for pool stuff so hopefully this eventful day will turn into an eventful night, we will see. I have been feeling tons of pressure, and Amelie is soooo determined to destroy my organs, she seems to be more active than ever. Same goes for my cravings, appetite, and moodiness! Seems like everything has kicked in big time right now towards the end, even headaches and my body temp, feels like I am burning up from the inside out. Only thing that hasnt come back full force is the nausea, thank goodness. I keep imagining what she will look like, and sound like, and smell like! i simply cannot wait to meet this little lady. it really does seem like a lifetime to wait, yet, this pregnancy has gone by quickly, and i know i will miss it terribly.
