Whose going to be 1st/Weekly Update

[Ready_4_Baby_2]

So which one of us October mom are going to deliever first? I was just thinking about this and it seems like a few of us are almost there. My c-section is scheduled for Oct 6th but my doctor doesnt think I will make it til then. I'm guessing it will be the end of September again. My daughter was born 5 years ago on September 27th. Funny part is I told her that Peri may come early and she was excited. I asked her if she could come on her birthday and she said YEAH...then I said well that means you won't be able to have a party. She looked mad and said well NO!. LOL Funny! I finally packed my hospital bag and decided on the coming home outfit, however I dont have the picture outfit. I picked out the dress my other daughter wore as a back up but I'll be at Babies R Us this wkn to look for something else. I had 2 showers and they both were very girly and great. I am amazed that I got more this time around then my first. I have scheduled my last two drs appointment for this pregnancy and then the big c-section. I'm so ready to have my baby and ready to kiss and spoil her. The doctor thinks that she is already 6.5 lbs so Im not worried about her weight anymore. People at work have started to countdown my days. Every day someone sees me they say not today huh? LOL

What's your update?

I have been trying to work things in randomly throughout the day but these last few days I've just been so darn exhausted feeling that I can't force myself off the couch. I have never been this exhausted in my life! I think I'm going to pay my brother and sister to come clean my house and car and send my son to his grandmas so I can do homework. I guess taking a full class load was a dumb idea! I'm not worried about traveling with a newborn, but I am worried about all I have to worry about and how a weekend away will take from my list of work! I need to hire a nanny to come during a few days a week I supose. Or teach my toddler to babysit ;)

You sound busy!!!! I know the feeling! I am in school with two girls under the age of 4 and am so ready for this baby! You need to just take it easy and do things a little at a time. You still have awhile, so maybe you could work you your homework, rest, clean/get ready for the parties, rest, and so on;) That's how I have been doing it lately. I clean and my girls mess up, so I have learned that when they go to bed, I pick up and then rest or hit the sack. Or I wait til the morning to pick up before they go to preschool and then get them ready to go and then come home and rest while they both or just one is gone. Today I haven't felt like doing much, as I cleaned all weekend, and luckily the class I am taking only requires one day a week to do the homework, test, or writings. Last semester was super hard b/c I had more than I could handle, but I managed to get through it and I see this semester being a breeze, even when the baby is born!
Are you sure your gonna want to travel with a newborn? You might not feel up to it. The first three months were so hard for me to get into a routine, b/c I was so tired!
Well, good luck to you and hopefully your little one will come sooner than your due date!

Ugh, so I have a feeling I'm going to go past my due date. I just got slightly panicked thinking about my schedule the next few weeks. My husband is a farmer- so not only does he already work sun up to sun down with his regular carpentry job and side jobs his brothers and him do, he has crops to harvest and we have cows we have to get home from pasture. Then on October 10th- ya my due date- I have my dads 50th bday celebration at noon and then my father in laws at 6... Both of which I'm the planner and host of. I need to go through and make my house party ready, but I can't get motivated at all. Then the weekend after that were headed 4 hours west to my husbands uncles so they can finish his basement- that means either I'm huge and my husband might miss delivery due to the distance, or I'll have a very small newborn to travel with. I also have midterms and papers due mid-October and I haven't had the energy to focus on it cuz I'm used to doing homework after everyone goes to bed, but I'm just too tired to stay up anymore. Blah! Why did I do this to myself goodness!?

Tiffiepooh hopefully your contractions pick back up and cause you to dilate more. But with only being 1 cm 75% effaced and a -3 (0 is head is engaged -5 is free floating) they wont admit you unless you are in labor or your water breaks. I think we all just want them out.

When is your next dr. appointment? I have mine on Tuesday so hopefuly there has been change in my cervix. Last time I was still at a 2 but the dr. did say he was able to feel her head. That was a change from my last dr. visit. Have you tried doing workout on a workout ball? I had been doing those before my last appointment and when I went in they did say her head was there. I was also walking about 2 miles a day. Let's just hope these babies pop out of us as soon as possible.
