I'm not on the role call, but my due date is 2/23.

I have my first OB appointment today, I am really hoping for another peek at little bean, I should be 11 wks.

With that said I am super anxious today and time seems to be going by SO slowly.

rikki we can add you to the list whenever you are ready!

38 weeks + with #2

Waiting for the midwife appt as I type this. I have been pleased with the less medical feel this time this late in the pregnancy.

We are both hoping to get through this week without a baby. After that it's fair game. I know as if you can plan!

Appointment went well, no Doppler or ultrasound though. She said she may not be able to get the heartbeat on Doppler and didn't want to freak me out just bc it was too early.

I get to stop taking the progesterone though which is fantastic.

I also had to drink the glucola. Yucky.

I had a ton of blood work done, more labs than I could have imagined.

Next appt is 9/1 hopefully a heartbeat then.

39 weeks today with baby boy

I had my last OB appt today. Induction is tomorrow morning.

It seems surreal that I've made it this far. I don't even know what to truly feel about it all. It will likely hit me when I'm getting hooked up at the hospital tomorrow. Because of course that would be perfect timing.

Omg, yes! GL tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you.

Still pregnant (38 weeks, our first, a little boy)! Having twice weekly NSTs and visiting with a doctor once a week. Had an ultrasound last week, which confirmed that little guy is head down, in a pretty reasonable position and that he is about the 25th percentile for gestational age. Little but perfect, seems to be the consensus.

NST tomorrow!

@suesposa, I hope your induction is going well!

I'm 35+3 with our first. Really starting to hope that she feels like coming sooner rather than later. There's a full moon in a couple of weeks. I could totally go for having a full moon baby. My ribs are killing me which is making work really tough. I may just give in and start maternity leave at 38 weeks. Sigh.

Stopping progesterone today, and I am freaking out. So scared that I'll start spitting in a few days, and realize the progesterone masked a loss. Freaking scared, but I can't stay on it forever.

@suesposa, OMG! That's not fair at all!
