39 Week Watch
Well, I'm back from the doctor. Baby is healthy, I am healthy, so we just keep waiting. She'll come whenever she is ready (but I told her I am ready now . . . ). I'm having lots of Braxton-Hicks contractions, I've started dilating, and I lost a pound this week instead of gaining. Who knows whether that means anything or not. I'll keep you posted!

Poppa said to tell you there is a full moon Friday night :)
ReplyDeleteFull moons are triggers for sure! So are raking the back yard (we have some unraked leaves over here if you'd like to try this technique)! And pushing a double stroller with children IN it up & down the mall (couldn't help you with that one...) And of course, ahem,... sex. Never did try the castor oil. Didn't want to add intestinal pain to contractional pain. Did doc offer to strip your membranes? That works for some people (didn't for any of mine).
ReplyDeleteHey, I know it gets tiring when everyone calls to see how you are doing and wants you to hurry and have our little one, but we are all just excited! I know you are more excited and ready for her than anyone. Just take it as a sign that so many people love you. You could have your mother and mother-in-law both at your house asking if you are having a contraction every time you take a deep breath :)
ReplyDeleteGod is just putting the finishing touches on our little blessing. Maybe He is giving her some hair. I don't know about babies with hair, mine were both little baldies!! Like a friend of mine told me - she'll get here when she gets ready, she's a GIRL for heaven's sake!
