@VeryKatie that sounds glorious. I had a couple with Emma. Unfortunately, my husband is on nights now so I'm with her during the day on the weekends and during the week I work. Maybe I'll just luck out and go into labor soon lol. I'm hoping this keep progressing the way they have been - if they don't hopefully it won't be long. And if she really is as large as they're estimating we need to get this kid out now before she gets any bigger!!

I'm trying to finish up at work today so I can go home slightly early and rest for a bit before she gets home from the sitters. Maybe a nice walk around the block will help things along... I told my husband we need to get the basinet out and cleaned up - I think that's really the only thing we have left to do. Carseat is installed, hospital bag is packed in my car, newborn clothes are out of storage and put away... we need a new mattress for the crib (we stole it for the toddler bed) but that can wait a few months... Plus I have new baby carriers I want to try out It too difficult to wear my toddler too much.

@Hurricane_C no we decided not to find out. Maybe we will for the next one. Now that I've tried it this way I'm not sure it would have made a difference or not. That being said, if we find out for the next one I wouldn't want to tell anyone. Because... some people in our lives are a little crazy about the gender *coughhisgrandpacough*. Don't need someone deciding to love the baby less while I'm still pregnant. It's bad enough that there could be slight bias after the baby is born.

It's funny how I'm sick of pink already too and I don't even have anything pink. I really like blue... little dresses can be blue too. Cyan is very pretty. Lucky about same season baby!! That'll be handy for quite a while Plus... summer off work yay!

I'm so happy - these contractions aren't for nothing!! I was a fingertip dilated last week and as of yesterday was almost a 2. I realize that doesn't really mean a whole heck of a lot - but it means things are at least progressing and I'm not suffering needlessly. lol. My OB said if I haven't gone into labor by next appointment if I want her to she can strip my membranes, but I'm not sure how I feel about that. I could go either way - we'll see how I'm feeling in another 6 long days....

Hope everything is going great with you all!

Hurricane, progress is still exciting!! When are you due again?

Progress is very exciting!! We went on a walk tonight (something we usually do when it's nice out) and I was contracting pretty good - I see more walks in our future.
I'm due on June 16th. But she's already measuring at 8 pounds (+/-2). The ultrasound on Tuesday at 36+5 showed her head measuring 41w her abdomen at 40w and her femur length at 37+ w. So I feel like she's a good sir if she were to make an appearance soon. Our first was estimated to be 8-9 lbs at birth and she was 6lb 11oz. But again - I'm so ready for her to make an appearance- but not thrilled about labor. I was induced last time and had medication readily available. Didn't have to worry about randomly going into labor or my water breaking at work....

@VeryKatie I would have been okay not finding out, I think. But my husband couldn't do that. He had to know. I think blue looks adorable on girls. (My new ring sling is blue even though I knew we were having another girl it was just too pretty!!). We have a little bobbed overall shorts outfit that is blue and white (says adorable girl) on it and Emma still got called a boy while she was wearing it.
Either way, girl or boy, it doesn't really matter (grandpa aside)so long as it's healthy:)

2 days. I don't even think I can stand it. I can't wait - I feel like a cow and I need to get out of this fat suit.

@Queenmunchy I have 19 days until my due date. But I'm so ready for so many reasons. One of them is so i can start getting back to my "normal" self again. Hopefully will feel like eating better and making meals. And working out. We've been fighting a battle with Sears for over a month for the treadmill we ordered - after my husband got fed up and told them to cancel our order we got an email notification that it has shipped -_- only a month late.

Good luck with everything!!

16 days... just 16 days....
Been going on walks and sitting on my yoga ball... Have an appointment tomorrow - we'll see if there's any more progress.... fingers crossed.

@Queenmunchy you were scheduled for your c-section yesterday, right? Can't wait to hear updates!!!

I did! Carver Ellis was born yesterday at 10:57am - 6lb, 11.8oz, 20 inches.

We are feeling great. This c section is nothing like my first. I'm healing pretty quickly!

Congratulations to you and your family. Your baby is adorable and look amazing.

Congrats! What a gorgeous little man! I hope you are both well!

10 days until my due date Not that a due date means much lol. It's more of a due date +/- 2 weeks haha. A due month.

My scan due date is the 10th of June and my due date based on my last period is the 17th June but I'm not sure if that's correct anyway.
Hoping for this weekend!

I'm hoping so then, I want this baby out

Good luck. Yes, sleep. How I wish! If I do get in a good position for sleep, then I usually need to go to my the bathroom

@VeryKatie so happy to have her here! And not be pregnant!! I can't believe how big she is!! Her big sister is almost here to meet her

My first due date has also gone. My second date is tomorrow! So over being pregnant and everyone asking have I had the baby yet or see me and say "your still pregnant?" YES I am!

Oh yes! My little guy, Keith Michael, arrived just 6:32 hours late and came on Father's Day.

My phone doesn't let me post photos but I'll come back to do so in a bit.

@Hurricane_C your little girls are so adorable!
