I thought that last night would be the night, but it wasn't. I woke-up at 3:30am with contractions and back pain and so I went into the living room to storm through it so that I would not wake Jeremy up. I had 4 contractions within an hour and a half, but then I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke-up, I felt like I had run a marathon and had done 200 sit-ups. At times I even felt nauseous. Jeremy and Maya woke up around 6:30am and he was so sweet by drawing me a hot bath. I was hoping that the bath would help me progress even more, but it just made me more tired. So Maya and I took a nap for 3 hours. I am still really exhausted but we are all going to take a walk around the neighborhood. Maybe that will help kick-start something. I keep thinking that I won't make it to my next doctor's appointment (Friday) but we'll see. I may not be so lucky!
Just wanted to give you an update.
17 days left until my due date!

Hi Tammy, aint all the waiting fun!! I am down to the 2 wks appointments now but I wish she was here.

Hey girl..hang in there! I hope thing progress for you because I know it is painful and exhausting!! I am praying for a healthy bundle of joy of course but a quick and painless labor and delivery for you!! Thanks for keeping us updated..we are definitely thinking of you xoxo Diana
I know how all the anxiousness and preparation can make the body soooo tired. I remember those nights with Braxton contractions, thinking, ok, this is it. I am gonna have a baby today, and then only to have them taper off. But will 2 1/2 weeks left and 3 cm already accomplished, those pre-contractions have got to mean something. I can't remember (and I can't look at your old site), but did you have the same thing on Maya? Ok, so back I go to checking this site on a daily (maybe hourly) basis. You are in my prayers. I know you will do great. And just remember, when it starts, don't wait too long, cause 2nd babies usually come pretty quick. You will do great. can't wait for the next update.
Shandelle,
No I was not like this with Maya. I was 1 cm for about 4 weeks with her and that is including the 2 weeks I went overdue. I told Jeremy last night that I would be amazed if I made it to Friday of this week but if I DO, then maybe the doctor will say at my appointment that day that I have to stay there at the hospital because the baby is coming NOW. One can only hope!
Good luck, I will be praying that everything goes well! And that the little one comes sooner rather than later for you!
Oh sweetie! Its all happening now!!! Just you wait, this precious baby will be here so soon (although, probably not soon enough for you right *smile*).
I've been thinking 'bout you guys LOTS over the weekend, and had to force myself not to call! lol Just remember, each one of those contractions you get, helps you to get there that much faster!!!! I can't wait to hear something!
Hugs!!!
Vera
Thinking of you..I keep checking a few times a day now haha Hopefully things are progressing!! xoxo Diana
Hopefully it happens soon for you. I felt the same way. For weeks I thought it was going to happen. I kept saying to Chris this is the day and then nothing. Hopefully that is not the case for you. Can't wait to hear.
I really hope that is not the case Kirsten, but I am definitely not getting my hopes up either. All I can do now is everything they suggest to bring on the labor. Here's hoping it works!
what's the latest?
Nothing yet. I will write more tomorrow after my doctor's appointment. I am 38 weeks today so I still have some time to go. I have been feeling a little better the last couple of days.
