Eee! That's good progress in a week! I don't know if I'd give you that long, Leigh!

Go girls, Go! ... The grass really is greener on this side. I just completed my first dinner/bath/bedtime...

He's here!!! My suspicions were right! An a big boy at that. 9# 6 oz, 21" and looks like his sister. :)

We came in at 3, delivered at 8:20. Got the epidural at the last minute and was glad I did...

Thanks gals! Doing some major housekeeping between contrax (since my in-laws have our toddler) has kept them up. I'm 5-6 mins apart now and they are incredibly worse than last night...stay tuned...

I'm not sure how, but my contractions have all but stopped!! When they happen (every 10-15 mins), they are so intense that I can't sleep. Ugh. So frustrating. Trying to be patient.

I think they're sending me home to labor there for a while. Thank goodness! I want to get in the bath!! I think this baby will be here soon. Contrax are getting intense.

I think this is it....? I feel like such a first timer. Cxns since 3:30 regularly. Came in when they were close (3-5) but manageable. They've slowed a bit and I haven't progressed cervically since I...

I went in Christmas Eve morning after feeling a "trickle," getting up and noticing my panties and pajama shorts were pretty wet. After going in, the OB on call confirmed I was not leaking anything ...

Yayayayayayaaaayyyyy!!!

Can't wait for more updates! Congrats!!

Wow, that's awesome!!! I'm not having that issue, but I'm definitely past any kind of comfort level.

I'm seriously over this pregnancy, and while I'd rather not have a Christmas baby, my late-term...

Dang! I swear I've ALMOST gone in twice already. :) How consistent were your cxns? I'm absolutely sure I'm not going to know when it's real (after having been induced round 1).

Wow! Lots of exciting progress for everyone. I can't believe things are coming to a head for us all so quickly. I've been running around like a crazy person trying to get my ducks in a row with lots...

Where IS everyone?!

I want to hear how y'all are progressing!

Had my 37.5 week appt Monday. I was dilated to a 2, effaced 70%, lost my mucus plug today, and have been really crampy with lots...

How are yall??

I'm as anxious as ever for this baby to come! I don't know why the switch in the last couple of days. I guess I've come to terms with the fact that our home addition and renovation...

Dear Baby #2,

You've officially given me tummy stretch marks in the last week (something your big sister left me without, even though I gained a whopping 70 lbs while carrying her).

Since I'm...

I agree! Labor can be very dehydrating, and with everything else you have going on, my guess is that you will be able to tune out the minor discomfort of a hep lock. Remember: a good birthplan is for...

I'm totally there. Perfect description!

Sounds like everyone's getting a lot accomplished! We spent all weekend a couple weekends ago getting our infant clothes and necessities out of storage (since we're mid-complete home makeover right...

Are any of y'all getting real-deal contractions yet? I was induced with number one and had an awful delivery experience. I'm trying to remember what my early labor felt like (I've blocked a lot of it...

This totally worked for my sciatica back in my old life of uber cycling and running. Worth a try if it's comfortable enough to do!

I think that's sciatica. This is different. Finally talked to my OB. She thinks I've herniated a disk pretty severely. Putting me on oral steroids and prescribing physical therapy. I honestly don't...

Yep. We went there this morning. After spending 2 hours trying to crawl to the bathroom this morning (never made it), we called the ambulance to transport me to the hospital.

I feel like such a...

So glad you saw this particular OB!!! I was also hoping for a New Years baby and am finally accepting a 37 wk delivery and pre- Christmas baby plan. Whew, what a big change. You will do fine. So...

Hi gals! Swelling so bad you can't put your shoes on seems worrisome enough to call your OB on call. And upper right abdomen pain Orourkanini can sometimes be indicative of Liver problems/HELLP...

Results are in.... Mild pre-e, already spilling proteins. The cutoff is 300 (no idea of units/I think protein is being counted) and my number was 301.

Lots of tears today, but I think I'm ready to...
