i'm going to take some rest and get rid of this sinus/cold problem. I sure hope she comes here soon. Due date is already passing along. i've read that only 5% of babies actually come out on their due date. How many of you out there waited until your little ones came out into the world?

i was over 2 weeks overdue with my daughter. i had to have a c-section because i just would not, even with the help of pitocin, go into a regular labor pattern. the doctor said it is actually pretty common.

this can be a most anxious time. hang in there, it'll happen. i'm sure not soon enough for you.

best of luck to you, enjoy this very special time.

I went nearly 2 weeks past due, I was lucky enough to go into the labour the night before my I was scheduled to be induced.

Like Gen said, try and get some rest and enjoy the last few days you have. Run a nice hot bath, light come candles, drink a nice cup of herbal tea (can pregnant women drink herbal tea?) and just relax.

When you finally think its never going to happen, it'll happen!

oh i am enjoying it. taking a bath doesn't seem like a bad idea and tea, been drinking herbal fruity tea every day I know you can drink some, as long as it is not too much of it. I just want to meet her,but I know she will want to come out as soon as she feels like it. My boyfriend said she is 'shy' to come out

ziggy - How exciting!! Good for you both for quitting smoking. It's too bad everyone isn't as conscientious about their family planning! Your future kids are lucky.

Thanks! I think our selfish "who cares, we're still young so let's have fun and abuse our bodies" years are drawing to a close....now we can't stop thinking about the future -- and it feels good!

A few years ago when I was about 24 or 25 (I'm 27.5 now) I asked my mum how do you know when you're ready to have kids and she said "you just know" and I thought "oh yeah, another vague answer" but as always, she was right!

MeddleDeal

congrats Ziggy!! here's to a great start off in the year by quitting both smoking and drinking!! And it is GREAT that you and your man are doing it together! YEA!!


and to quote Rodney Dangerfield, 'the best part of having kids, is making them'

haha. nope. I still haven't popped yet! She is overstaying her welcome as it is. haha. I think she is seriously becoming a moocher. Last night, I had contractions, but they didn't hurt as much. They subsided once I lied down and slept. Thanks for the well-wishes! And you all don't see me on this thread or on the board, well, u probably know what happened. Cross my fingers and hope SOON!!

yeah you tend to lose energy while you are pregnant. I thought I would at least get some energy during my whole pregnancy, but i never did, but that could also be due to my lack of iron. It will change for you soon, in the coming months

and about nosebleeds, I STILL get them. i've read that your nose and your gums have a tendency to bleed since your blood vessels in those areas expands.

i've seen onesies on Haight & Ashbury in San Francisco the last time I was there. they had a Bob Marley and a baby blue Jimi Hendrix onesies. My boyfriend and I are thinking about getting both of them for her. If there is a Janis one, I might have to snag that too! Gotta represent her momma's Texas roots;)

Hehe, that's awesome! Might as well dress them as you like for as long as you have any say.

Annabelle has two teeth!!! :eek: :eek:

I have no idea when this happened!

This morning I was feeding her cereal and I felt the spoon scrape against something, and once I finally got her to let me check her gums, I saw and felt two little teeth on the bottom row! I haven't been checking her gums at all because she hasn't been acting like she was teething. Sure, she drools and chews on things all the time, but she has done that for as long as I can remember. I was expecting her to get extra cranky or fussy for a couple of days...and THEN see a tooth appear...but the teeth just showed up unannounced!
