Only 2 1/2 more days...

....until the month of February!!! I feel like once February comes I can just be patient and wait :laugh:(like that's going to happen!) Everything has been leading up to this though. It may be bad but I have kind of filled up our last couple of weeks in hopes it makes everything go by faster. DH and I are even sending our boys off the first weekend of Feb so we can have a kind of stay at home before baby vacation (staycation..??:winks:) Then the next Saturday a low key family day. I'm still working on things to fill my weekdays.
I'm so happy for all the February mamas who have already had their LOs. I'm also very surprised so many of us went early:crazy:
How many ladies do we have left????

Sounds like a good plan! I keep feeling like I'm going early so I have been getting my whole house organized in.preparation for baby! DH and I could definitely use a weekend like that! We have been so busy lately! I am getting very anxious thinking about labor..

I'm definitely still here and not showing any signs of labor. Cramping only like once, some pinching in the cervix, maybe some stronger contractions here and there. Baby has been super active - but I think that's because he/she FINALLY has enough room to move around. On Friday I'm getting henna on my belly which I'm very excited about - and then I just need to fill up my days too because I'm already getting bored. Dreary weather doesn't help either. I'm still working - but mostly working from home. The office is so uncomfortable. Everything is uncomfortable, really....

I'm here too.

I can barely walk and I'm sure I look ridiculous. My pelvis is ruined!

I've been 3cm for couple of weeks now and no real sign of labor the last few days. Although just last night and today it feels like baby has dropped a little.

I have been sleeping so well the last few nights, it's been nice!

My next appointment is Thursday.

Enjoy your date night. Its a good idea to stay busy! The days are dragging for me right now.

Well you know I'm still kicking. I'll be 37 weeks on Thursday, then I begin counting days. :P Expecting a little girl after having so many boys has my anticipation up SOOO much. I simply cannot wait to see what she looks like.

What an exciting time in our lives ladies! How lucky we all are to be enjoying this chapter! I want to go outside and sit and just be thankful for being 30, for having 3 strong young men who adore their momma (and whose momma adores them) and for bringing my one and only daughter into this beautiful world. *sighs*

And then I want to do crazy jumping jacks until the little bugger comes out so I can snuggle her!!!! Ha!

Yep! This! I actually went in to the office yesterday and I didn't even last 1/2 a day! Monday can't get here fast enough, especially with all the contractions I've been having.

I went through the due date list and think about 8 of our Feb. mamas have already had their babies. That's a lot! We didn't have a huge group to begin with either.

Enjoy your time without the kiddos! I would love to have a stress free weekend coming up...no fighting between the two kids and having to be the referee (My ds is always aggravating dd) sounds really nice.

I'm still here! Waiting impatiently:) I had about 6 hours of contractions Sunday night/ Monday morning that were 5 minutes apart. I was ready to go...called the DR, my mom came over to watch my daughter, husband called out of work...and then they just stopped! I couldn't believe it. The DR told me to wait until they were really painful and then call her on my way into the hospital. Well they never got painful and that was the end of it! I was so disappointed!

Couldn't have said it better myself! With 2 sons and now a little girl I'm just so happy I can get the best of both worlds! I always wanted to be a mother of sons but discover my need to have a daughter after son #2(I would have been JUST as thrilled with a third son though)! I was craving girl time....a chance to change the path my mother with me and her mother with her took when it comes to mother daughter relationships. It's a wonderfully beautiful(sometimes scary) time in all of our lives.

So here we are.....the last of the pregos from February:hi: I feel like we should take bets on who will go next lol ozzy:winks: I think it's about time right mama? :)
Oh and Jessie I'm sorry you had a false labor! I'm sure you got so excited!! I know I would have. Every time I have a BH I keep praying it will turn into the REAL thing :) Hang in there we are SO close.

Ooh I bet Ozzy is the next lucky lady, then Missy- I definitely get that vibe about Missy! Maybe it's because she seems content to stay pregnant a little while longer? It seems the moment you relax and say I'm just going to enjoy my time before the baby arrives.... that's when little cutie decides it's time. :)

Jessie, when is your due date? Your false labor could be a sign that things are kicking up.

I am stalking this site like a crazy person now! So eager to see who has their labor next. Today my friend is taking me to the mall to walk, I think it's too early to walk myself into labor but I'd like to keep up some semblance of fitness for Labor Day.

Eeek!!! The count down is on for you ladies! Congratulations and I hope you all have big happy babies :wub:

Super excited to see who is next! Good luck to all of you gals!! :hugs:

I'm going to guess I will be hanging around for at least another week.

I think Missy might be up next.

Either way, we are close, Ladies!!

I would love to be next :P I think 1/31/13 would be a great birthday ! But I've got no signs I'm ready yet.... so back to bouncing on the ball......

We still have 5 days until Monday...it could be anyone at that point! Five days is a long time (or so it seems to me)!

I'm also bouncing on my ball!

Apparently sitting on the ball the past two days has done me some good...I just lost my plug!

Yeah for lost plugs!!! I knew I felt a labor~vibe coming off of you.

Now go bounce some more and see if we can have another baby in here. :)

I'm bouncing away too!

Well today I had the "bloody show." I keep expecting to have some type of contractions but all I get is an occasional strong braxton hick contraction every hour or so. I am due Feb 8th and was a week early with my other so I was hoping that this one would be early too.

Oh dear looks like we got some mamas well on their way! Jessie sounds to me like you're close! And Missy! I'm so excited!

Really uncomfortable tonight. Contractions have picked up this evening after losing my plug and my back is killing me. I'm going to try to rest now and see how that goes!

Good luck Missy! I had a little bit of bloody show Sunday night and my water popped Monday morning!!! Hope this is it for you!

Jessie has bloody show, Missy has her back pain and no mucus plug to speak of. Oh man, someone's having a baby this morning, I just know it!

Ozzy, I got a ball from Target last night so I will join you in the bouncing. :)

Unfortunately, I'm still here. I was bothered by contractions all night but they aren't strong enough to go in yet. :(

Keep bouncing today, Ladies!

I'm off to my appointment soon!

:laugh: not sure why but that made me laugh this morning! I'm also off to another appointment today. Just a few hours away! Maybe there will be some change:fingerscrossed: I would just like some hope that I'm not going to have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks for this baby to show her pretty face. Maybe dilated to a 2...?? Maybe some thinning/softening...??? lol
Good luck Ozzy I hope you get some really good news!! :)

Oh and tomorrow is February 1st! I think the next baby to come will officially be out FIRST February baby born in February :)

I hope you get good news too! I know it can be disappointing to hear of no progress. Fingers crossed for both of us!

I am hoping for 4cm and much more effaced today!

Can't wait to hear about the appointments today!
