Am I the only one who would be perfectly happy not to go into labor soon? I'm enjoying uninterrupted sleep and not having contraction pain and don't want either of those right now!
DH is better today, still feeling crappy but afebrile and is currently asleep (as is DS thank goodness). However I developed excruciating pain under the back of my ribcage while laying in bed last night. It radiates to my neck. I'm thinking baby girl is laying on a nerve plexus or she's cracked a rib back there. Laying in bed to sleep is not happening, but as long as I'm sitting or walking around it's fine. Le sigh.

We just had a one week weight check and are just an ounce short of birth weight. They have us coming back once next week for one more check but I'm feeling way more confident about nursing and how much she's eating knowing that. We did a weighed feeding as well since we were there and she was hungry and E took 1.4 oz from one side which is apparently good for a week old.
Plus, it's my birthday today and LO gave me two >2 hour sleep periods last night (3 hours between wake ups) and only 4 overall!
I'm still having contractions so went to the hospital but got sent home. I'm 3cm though, which is more than I ever got on my own with DD.
With my first I hightailed it to the hospital because my contractions were every 2-3 min for an hour and k panicked thinking I would have baby at home. They said I was at a 2 and let me walk around the hospital for an hour but then sent me home. This time I think I have to pay more attention to the intensity rather than the time in between. My hospital will accept you at 4cm, is that how yours is?

Nope, you sure aren't! I'm over being pregnant for sure. But I'll take being uncomfortable with an inside baby for 2 more weeks over juggling my toddler and a newborn right this second. Especially since DS1 has been sleeping crappy this week. It's like he's all, "Hey guys, let me remind you what it's like to have a newborn!"

kerbear yes they're pretty consistent but I think danizee is right, it's more about intensity sometimes. I've decided to stop timing them until they become more painful.
jennybeans happy birthday! E's weight gain and intake sounds awesome so far! Way to go!

Feeling different this morning. Having some inconsistent cyclical activity in my back and low abdomen since about 6am. Nothing significant to report, but today might get interesting.

Just had E's one week appointment. He's 12 days old and he's already surpassed his birth weight!! Nursing sucked at first, but it seems he's figured it out just fine!

This is my first so I'm still not quite sure what to expect with impending labor. I was at 3cm at yesterday's appointment and I'm almost positive I lost the mucus plug last night too. Still no contractions yet though, unless I'm really just that clueless and the cramping I'm feeling could be that ? EDD is Monday, but maybe she'll decide to come out this weekend.. fingers crossed!

Biophysical profile ultrasound went perfectly. They look for practice breathing, heart rate, muscle tone, movement, and fluid levels and he passed with flying colors. He's very much head down, primed and ready to go, just being stubborn. And happily HE is still very much a HE.
I wish it was cooler out so I could go walk more, but it's way too hot to be walking around outside right now.
So everything looks great with the little guy, just need to wait. Going in Monday morning for my next check-up if nothing happens over the weekend.
