How long was that? :-)

Welcome back!

Sweet!

Congrats!!! I need to eventually do something like that too.

It's as success story as one can get! It's so important for you to realize either extreme is not good for your body. You are doing so wonderful and keep up with the good work!

Quick check in... Turn 39 weeks today and came back from doctor's appointment: 3 cm, 60%, -1. Non-stress test on the baby is great, 2 contractions during 20 min test. Measured 37 cm. Still progressing, still waiting game, still hanging here (like some of you).

Kristy - your hubby is cracking me up...

Welcome aboard! Hope everything goes well with this pregnancy.

Denise - glad your appt went well. 8-9 pounder, wow! I won't be able to deliver a size like that myself (small frame person). You are doing great!

I'm still here, hanging here. Got lots of pain walking, and coughing or sneezing absolutely make my belly painful. Seems getting more swollen on my legs, and trying to keep up with my water/tea intake. Went to Toys R Us and found a very cool toy for my 4-yr-old - real steel robot figures. It will be a gift from his little…

YAY!!!

Woa, haven't had a chance to catch up the posts, now I'm way behind. Agree on private group, so we can keep our pictures of baby under better control. About preggo clothing... I only have one preggo pants fit me, and I've been just wearing sweatpants mostly since I've been working from home every day now. Without the…

Isn't that amazing that we can learn to interpret the mean of different sounds made by our baby? Enjoy motherhood! :-)

I used to lived in LITH 5-6 years ago. :-)

A quick update, just came back from doctor's office for my weekly check up. I have a good 1 cm dilation, 60%-70% effaced, -1 station. Plug is gone and baby's very low (I carried low to begin with). Non-stress test went very well. Doctor don't think I'll last all 3 weeks, and asked me to tell my hubby stop dreaming about…

My hubby still want a Feb 29th baby, even if officially we need to pick a different date. It's just fun. :-)

Yay!

You approach is absolutely right!!! Baby steps to success! Awesome job Mark!

Article to read "Signs of Labor". This is what you are looking for -> "One SURE Sign Labor is Really Happening". http://www.americanpregnancy.org/labornbirth/signsoflabor.html

Just a quick update: Had an appointment this afternoon. Measurement is still 34 cm, baby heart beat 148, went 159 when moving. 1 centimeter, 50%, forgot to ask about station. They gave baby a 20 min stress test (due to over age 35), all went very well, which doctor describe it as "textbook perfect". My future appointments…

Right, "effacing and dilate" can start this early and it can be WEEKS. For my first kid, I was effacing and dilated in a pretty good point for weeks, then it stays that way for a long while. Not sure why your doctor think it has to be early labor. BH is normal, and should be happening. I've had it since 2nd trimester. As…

LOL, yeah funny, but not in a big way

Um, didn't know that. Have to tell my hubby about it, What a bummer!

:-) My hubby kept telling me to hold off the baby for 6 extra days, because he wanted a 29th so bad. He think it'll be cool and funny.

Hope baby is coming today! Best wishes for you and the baby, hope everything goes smoothly!

LOL!!! Oh gosh, so true isn't it! Loved it & thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all your concerns and kind words for my recent fall. I'm working on getting better. Yesterday it was really really bad, and trying to shift position once I'm down in the bed is impossible last night. I end up having hard time fell back to sleep for 2+ hours in the middle of the night. I'm deadly tired this…
