Ok I had my appointment. Apparently Daniel is not engaged like the OB wants him to be. So I had a CAT scan to measure my pelvis, b/c the OB is also thinking he may be getting too big. I don't find out the measurements until tomorrow, but I will need an ultrasound anyway, probably on Wednesday or next Monday.
So nothing is happening to my cervix, b/c there is no baby head to put pressure on it!! :P
So I wait. Really I'm not too concerned, I just hope I don't end up with a section (I really want that vaginal birth!) And if he isn't born by my next Monday appt, they are wanting to induce me if it looks like he will fit down and "out" :P
thank you, so far I have tried when she falls asleep in my arms I put her in, and she stays asleep for a few minutes and cries. Hopefully if I can stay consistent enough she will learn to sleep in her bed.
Jamie....i would think that you could probably put the bouncy seat in the crib, to get her used to the "four walls"...lol
after a few nights you should be able to lay her in the crib without a problem, or make sure that during naps she is put to bed in the crib. or when she falls asleep in the bouncy, move her to the crib. or if she falls asleep in your arms, move her to crib....just some ideas....hope they help.
Joyce- I Know, my boys who are 2 try to dictate their bedtimes, and will try and fight it every step of the way. They will purposely hurt themselves to see if I Will come up to see if they are okay, or they will do their high pitched scream to see if I will go and say something to them, and I let them scream and as bad as it sounds because they are just testing you and they know the limit they can push for their parents, so and Jake knows it hurts if he hits his hand or head on the wall so he doesn't do it very hard. But, the things kids do to get out of bed time, they also tried to get rid of their nap times and at 2 I still believe they need their nap times ESPECIALLY my kids. But yes Angel unfortunately has to learn to calm herself down or else she is going to expect me to carry her and rock her when she is older. She sleeps in her bouncy seat she refuses to sleep in her crib or anything, and that is something I Don't know how to get her used to.
Katebud- oh hopefully things are moving along at least a little bit.
I have my 39 week check up today at 3:45pm! I'll let you all know how it goes. :)
katebud.....i googled is being overly cranky a sign of oncoming labor....and it didnt say anything about it...lmao
hopefully things wont be too much longer. it stinks though that you are so miserable, hopefully daniel will make his appearance soon.
jamie.... as much as it hurts to listen, there are times you just HAVE to let them cry. i have always been a firm believer that even very young babies and children have a bedtime, and that you can let them cry for a few minutes so they can learn to comfort themselves. it is difficult to say the least. i had a friend awhile ago who had 3 children ages 2,1 and newborn all at the same time. and she never did the bedtime thing, so when it was time to start bedtimes they fought her every step of the way....i am pretty sure that when you start expecting children to go to bed at a decent time AFTER they have been allowed to stay up til they decide to go to bed, it is even more difficult. sorry i know this story had really no point, and has nothing to do with your situation...lol... it still bothers me at times though, cause you DO NOT let a child that age dictate as to when they go to bed...lmao
