How is everyone doing this lovely Monday???

[AriQueen]

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Just checking to see how everyone is doing, feeling, etc. I'm 38 weeks today and have an appt on Thursday. We shall see what the doc says then. I have been feeling alright I guess, just extremely tired and still retaining lots of water. I don't even weigh myself anymore b/c I know it will depress me even more. My legs are swollen and so are my feet and this heat doesn't help me much either. I started working from home today so I'll be taking it easy these last few weeks. Last night I had several menstrual cramp like pain and pressure down there...it felt like the baby was ready to come out. I'm sure those are signs of the baby making it's way through the birth canal, boy was that painful. I sleept pretty good last night almost 5 hours straight without having to go to the bathroom! That's it for me ladies....

I hope you are all making it thru....we are ALMOST THERE!

Hey ladies, my week is just a mess, cant sleep or eat. (had a death in family and funeral is friday)  I am getting a lot of pressure on my cervix, my last appt i was still only 1cm but this time the dr was able to feel the baby, i have my 38week appt friday and i hope i have dialated some more.  I am so ready to meet my little one.

I guess only a few more weeks or days for all of us.

Well this weekend was tough to get through, now more than ever I feel like I am on an emotional rollercoaster!!!  My back feels like someone is stabbing me constently, and I have quit taking tylenol for it because it wasn't working any way.  Along with all of you I'm sick with a stupid cold that I can't kick, so my ribs hurt from that, because it's setteling in my chest.  (yey me) So I feel eveyone else's pain.  

On a brighter note I have a doc. apt. on Wednesday and hopefully my cervex has thined out some more so that he can induce me... but that porbably wont happen so I'll be sitting here waiting another week before anything will happen.  Though I do have to say that I keep having what everyone on here wants to call Braxen Hicks and they aren't very fun... but it means something is happening.  Oh well... good luck to everyone!!!  Hang in there, we've only got weeks and or days until we meet your little ones!!!

I think Amberlee meant that she will be 36 weeks.  Right Amberlee?

I don't think you are going to make it 21 more days.  I think once the cerclage is removed, you are going to go pretty fast.  Certainly he isn't going to be a stubborn little boy and make you wait much longer, to see his gorgeous face.  If he does that, we will have to call him "little stinker" instead of Bryce.  You know I am only kidding, sweetheart.

All of us are so excited.  I can't imagine how it is for you.  I would imagine that Rachel understands alot about that.

Big Mommie Hugs, Amberlee,
Heather

I will be 26 weeks Wednesday and that day they will be removing my cerclage. Im hoping and praying that i have dilated around it a little. Ive been having menstrual cramps and pressure and aches in my pelvis on and off since last thursday so hopefully something is happening. Bryce can still get his little legs up in my ribs so i know he hasnt dropped yet though so...we will see. i have a sore throat and sinus cold. I have not been sick a single day since being pregnant and now, all i want to do it rest and i cant because its been keeping me up all night too. Going out with a bang arent we =)

if anything i only have 21 days to go, cannot wait to meet Bryce!!!!!! Cant wait to meet all the other little ones too!!

I will be 38 wks tomorrow...I get to go to my appt today. I've been feeling quite a bit of pressure on my cervix the past few days so I'm hoping to find out I've made progress. Last time they checked I had been at 1cm for about 4 days.

My hands and feet are swollen, I feel huge, and I can't sleep at night. I am extremely excited to finally get to meet my son.....I just hope he comes soon!!!!!

Good luck ladies, and congrats to those of you that already have your little ones :)

Glad to hear you are finally home and able to rest now!
Things here are going pretty good. Today is my last day of bedrest! I am excited about that, but I have a cold, mostly a cough though that keeps me up at night. I barely sleep anymore now because of that. I hope it goes away soon. I am just about 36 weeks now! Almost there!!
