STILL Haven't Had That Baby!

Amazing, isn't it? Here I am, 4 days before my due date and I STILL haven't had my baby. And my doctor is okay with that. What a SHOCK!

Okay... without so much sarcasm now. Still hanging around and waiting for the little one to decide what his birthday will be. We made it past Halloween, so I'm fine with any day he should pick now. I just sooo didn't want a Halloween baby. I kept insisting that was the only day I would cross my legs for. But, it didn't come to that, so no worries.

I do find there to be some sort of irony in the fact that early in this pg, I was labeled at "high risk" for pre-term labor. All that extra monitoring. And now, I sit here at full term. Still very pregnant. And beginning to fear he's going to be just ornery enough to come after his due date.

I have been having a lot more contractions the last two days. They hurt way more than they used to. But there is still no rhyme or reason to them, which means they aren't yet "real" labor. The last two mornings they've woke me around 4AM and continued off and on for a few hours. Plus, I've been feeling rather icky in general. So... I'm hoping that means we're getting close. The hubby and I are both very anxious to meet this little guy. Go to the doctor tomorrow, and with any luck, there will be some progress.

Hoping to be posting a birth story soon...

I think it does sound like you are getting close. It's a matter of waiting now. I will be checking in often from now on :) I can't wait to see baby's photos.

From my perspective, you are lucky. You have lots of warning that the day is upon you. I had none, zero, zilch. A few episodes of Braxton Hicks and that was it. The day before I puffed up like a blow fish (seriously, I looked very funny) and then the morning of wammo, water breaks before there were really any contractions.

I look forward to hearing the birth story and seeing some pictures.
