Trying to catch up

Hi ladies.

I haven't been on here much but here is the latest. I am getting induced on the 19th. I am miserable. My OB thinks it could be Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy and the only cure is to deliver the baby. Of course, I had some blood tests done and am still waiting on the results.
To be honest, I see no need for me to stay in misery either. So she is inducing me 4 days prior to my due date. I will be 39 weeks and 4 days. Not bad. I was not dilated when they checked me last week. Still 30% effaced. Ugh..
I also wanted to let you all know that I'm not getting good sleep. In fact, I'm not sleeping at al! So I didn't go to work today although this is my last week! So KarenDiane....you are not alone honey :-)

Brittny....did you get your much wanted bedding set yet?? Did you have fun moving?

How's everyone else doing? Any good news? Gosh I swear I need to hear some good news. I've been stressed out having to have emergency ultrasounds done and all. But I will not bore you with my stories :-)

Ugh...I had what I thought was my last appt before my induction next week. I am still not dilated! so frustrating! I have been walking a lot but it doesn't seem to be doing a thing. Maybe I'm one of those moms who go past their due dates by two weeks. I'm still glad I'm getting induced on the 19th.

Britney I cannot even imagine trying to move that pregnant you poor thing... glad it is done and over with.  Don't worry about your crib to be honest Franky has been in his crib once for about 5 minutes.  I use the rocker the most to feed him in the middle of the night and the changing table the most he sleeps in his pack n play at night ... and a moses bassinet (like a basket with handles) downstairs in the living room during the day.  I was just wondering if it will be hard to transition to the crib and when to do it?  I don't think I am ready for him to be in another room.

PK I hope you go into labor before your induction date... I am sure you are doing all the tricks?  Walking, sex, spicy foods ect.  I think walking 3 hours at the hospital the day before I went into labor for sure helped speed things up.  I can't wait for Noah to come ... get to walking girl !  =)

Sorry to hear about your complications. It's pretty exciting to KNOW when your having your LO.

I have not been able to get my bedding set. I'm no even going to get to set up the crib till she's almost 5 months old.

We moved and it was awful. I was so swollen and in tons of pain for about 5 days. I was standing packing boxes for 12-14 hours a day.

I don't have Internet at the new place till wednesday all I have is my iPhone it's really not easy to type long messages on so I haven't been posting much but I have been reading posts.

Hey! I was wondering where you were. Thought maybe you had your baby. I'm sorry to hear you're having complications. I had to look that up on google - I'd never heard of it before. It's so exciting to have an induction date. My midwives apparently think that I
should be miserable :S. Keep us updated.
