June Mommies! 20wks ....half way there!

Hi Ladies!  Today I hit week 20, I'm half way there.  I'm trying to adjust to my new found back aches and my ribs constantly hurting.  Believe it or not I'm not really that tired, just maybe aggravated from the constant bedrest; so this weekend I got up cleaned my house from top to bottom, mopped all the floors, washed and folded clothes, and then started having a couple of "braxton hicks" contractions, so after that I sat my hard-headed *** down! :)  After getting over the shock of finding out I will be added another little boy to the clan(#3), I can truly say I'm looking forward to his arrival.

Where are my June Mommies, how are you guys doing?

Thats good. I had no idea you were having problems! lol. I was wondering what happened to you! I'm glad shes there to keep you company though. Wow...I wouldnt be able to handle my man being a truck driver...I'd miss him too much. So he gets the weekends off then? Is he planning on taking time off when youre about due so he doesnt miss it? Id be terribley disheartened if my bf wasnt there for the birth of his baby! Im not pregnant yet but hopefully soon! Not on bc this month and thats what got me last time. So I'm just a praying!

Sorry if I confused you!  He's not going to induce me that early, but I will stop getting my weekly progestrone shots (they've been helping keep my cervix closed) so he's estimated that once I'm finished with the 35wk shot that labor will follow very close!  My cervix has already started to shorten, but thankfully not dialate.  Where my cervix should be measuring at 3.5 it's now at 2.9 so what I will most likely have to due is have the nurse come out to my home 3x's a week instead of  the 1x that she comes now, and we'll probably start that on week 26.  Believe it or not tho, I feel pretty good, and I really dont think I need her all that much.  She gives me the shots and puts me on a fetal monitor to listen to the baby.  She's more so been keeping me company and looking at cold case files with me :) !  It's a comfort tho considering the fact the my husbands a truck driver and doesnt make it home until Friday nights.

hi girls, I'm just past the 20 week mark as well due June 13 with a boy, we are very excited this is our first boy after 2 girls.  I was late with both my girls so I will most likely be late with this one.  It's good hearing from all of you.

I can so relate. My Dr will be inducing me early as well. EDD is June 9th, but he's looking at the end of May. My last baby, 2 1/2 yr old now was born May 16th. I'm hoping he'll wait atleast until the last week of May so their Bday aren't right on top of each other. Not that that's not cuttin it close.

I'm so impatient, I've already put the nursery together, and started buying clothes.  With my history my OB told me last week he'll be satisfied with me making it to the end of May, so with the bit of information I'm thinking I will have my shower on the 1st Saturday in May and pack my bag to go to the hospital on that Sunday!  I refuse to be caught off gaurd this time around.
