1. What is you EDD/how far along are you?
Jan 25/ 40w5d

2. Any appointments/progress?
Had a NST and ultrasound yesterday. Baby is healthy and everything looks good, but no progress from last week.

3. How are you holding up physically/emotionally?
Physically, I'm doing okay. Tired of course but emotionally this last week has been a roller coaster. I'm so ready to hold my little guy but so nervous for L&D!

4. Anything left on your to-do list? Any fun baby purchases lately?
I still have some laundry to do of some pass-me-downs my sister brought me this weekend, but they're 6 month stuff so I'm debating it. I want to go check out a RNP since we don't have one yet but waiting on that too.

5. Misc rants or raves?

1. What is you EDD/how far along are you? Jan 27th- 40w 3d

2. Any appointments/progress? I had an appt yesterday with NST. Baby girl is doing fine. I was 2cm dialated and 50% effaced. The midwife went ahead and stripped my membranes. So far I've just jad spotting and cramping. No signs of labor yet

3. How are you holding up physically/emotionally? I'm doing okay but I'm getting close to the end of my rope. I'm really uncomfortable physically and really just want to be left alone most of the time.

4. Anything left on your to-do list? Any fun baby purchases lately? Nope. We are ready to go. I've been trying to keep the house really clean and stocked so we don't have to deal with all that and a newborn.

5. Misc rants or raves? Not really. I'm super irritated that I'm just burning Mat leave at this point

1. What is you EDD/how far along are you?
Jan 28, 40 weeks and 2 days
2. Any appointments/progress?
Appointment for nst and fluid check today
3. How are you holding up physically/emotionally?
I have a cold, so I want to be able to breathe for labor, but can barely sleep due to stuffy sinuses, plus everywhere hurts!
4. Anything left on your to-do list? Yes but I can barely get around, dh and I are going to try to do a Costco run today since we're running low on diapers and food
Any fun baby purchases lately?
Not really, we pretty much have everything we need at this point

5. Misc rants or raves?
I had a crazy dream last night that my inlaws who came to help were trying to deliver the baby who was breech in a criss cross apple sauce sitting position. Even George Clooney could not help (just recently saw the friends where he makes a cameo as an emergency room doc) needless to say I have not slept well.

1. What is you EDD/how far along are you? EDD was 1/23, so I'm exactly 41 weeks today

2. Any appointments/progress? Met w/ my MW on Wednesday, I was 2cm and "really soft." She stripped my membranes, and I got all hopeful, only to have all signs of labor stop within about 12 hours. Apparently my uterus is super-dooper comfortable.

3. How are you holding up physically/emotionally? I'm fine. I'd be ecstatic if the baby comes, but it helps that I have an awesome 22 month old around to distract me, and remind me that in the end these two weeks won't really be what I remember.

4. Anything left on your to-do list? Any fun baby purchases lately? Nope. Well, yes, I want to put curtains in both boys' rooms, but it's not happening soon, so I'm not counting it.

5. Misc rants or raves? Rave is that I officially sent my maternity leave email to my boss. She just responded so I know she's now aware that I'm leaving, and I think it's time to go celebrate. I'm not excited that I'll be burning vacation time, but I also don't want to work anymore...

1. What is you EDD/how far along are you? 40 weeks, 3 days. EDD was 1/27

2. Any appointments/progress? On Monday, I was not even 1 cm dilated, 80% effaced, and -1 station. I've had contractions, but they last for maybe an hour and then stop.

3. How are you holding up physically/emotionally? I'm uncomfortable and my hips are really sore. I've been going for walks everyday, but it's getting harder. Also, getting really annoyed with people asking if anything has happened yet.

4. Anything left on your to-do list? Any fun baby purchases lately? Just keeping up on the house cleaning and laundry.

5. Misc rants or raves? I'll be induced on Monday If no baby. I just had the realization that we have 3 more nights at most of being on our own.

I think I'm going to be a hermit until this baby comes. People have good intentions, but talking about how I'm overdue just makes me focus on it. I'd rather pretend I'm still just normal pregnant. Today as a distraction my mom and I are going to make empanadas for the freezer, and then take DS to a fun playground. Maybe the fresh air will inspire some labor action.
