Update

Well, I haven't been on since Friday. I had to go take care of my MIL that just had surgery. And low and behold, I started getting contractions on Saturday, but nothing regular until Sunday night when I got NO sleep at al. I finally had my husband take me to labor/delivery Monday morning. By that time the contractions were mild and not really progressing anything. It was a very educational trip though. I found out the contractions I was having were atleast productive. I am dialated to 2cm. Because they are so mild, my Dr has chosen to send me home until they get stronger. So here I am waiting.....Gosh I hope this happens soon. I do have until Monday before I will be 37 weeks. I'm thinking I'll have her by then if they don't decide to stop it. Being so close I hope they don't. She's ready to come....

Funny thing, I've had 3 children this being my fourth. When the nurse was checking my cervix, she could feel the babies head. When she blurted out "there's the head" I about freaked out. I thought she was already decending and yet I was in little to no pain at that point. Turns out she's just already dropped and the nurse could feel her head through the opening of the cervix. She was pushing on the head to move her so she could feel the thickness and I could actually feel her moving the baby up and down. After 3 kids, I have NEVER felt such a thing. Really strange feeling.....

Oh well! So here I am! It's just a waiting game now ladies. I'm almost there. My husband will be taking his lap top so we can keep you guys posted. Bags are packed, FINALLY!!!! Packed it Saturday night....My husband was still packing Monday morning...lol. If I don't go into labor before Friday, I will be seeing my Dr. I hope by then we have atleast progressed if not had her....

How are all you other mommies????? How is prayerfulwife??????

I'm here ladies!  I'm actually just made it to the library!  My PC totallly gave out on me and I missed you guys so much I got out of my bed just to come up here and log on!

lois: I am so jealous!  I'm 2cm as well but nothing is really happening as far as my contractions I'm just in really bad pain!  I'm 35wks 1day and this baby cant come soon enough.  I'm not enjoying this pregnancy anymore at all.  I have to walk around on my tiptoes b/c it hurt so bad for me to be flat on my feet.  
At this point in the game they shouldnt stop you anymore!  I'm pretty sure that baby is healthy and ready to get here!

Hey Griff & Mamaof1...how are you ladies?
