Hellobee Boards

@Ellie: congratulations, he looks perfect!

I'll post more updates and reply to others later. In on my phone and hate typing on it lol, but I had to reply to the first February mama!

@ms.line: OMG!!!!

@fancyfunction: Haha I feel the same way - trying to come to terms with the idea of a March delivery....

@saboma: Haha, that *is* a little scary. I'm excited for you!

I went crazy and made 30 freezer meals this weekend and DH installed our car seats. Still haven't packed a bag or done my taxes yet, but otherwise feeling pretty "ready."

@saboma: Ahhhh! Fingers and toes crossed for you!

i am just here to post a quick update since it's been like a whole week or something, lol. I've read everyone else's.

My baby has changed positions a few times. my midwife called it "unstable lie" (not sure if i wrote that before). But i've gotten pretty good at feeling when he is head down and i think he has been for a while now, so hopefully it stays that way. I have an ultrasound tomorrow so i will find out for sure. I am exactly 39 weeks with no signs of labour....well except baby dropped last week or something and i feel the pressure on my bladder!

i still have lots to do. installed the car seat yesterday and now i am about to sort through all the new and old baby clothes and pack a hospital bag today. then the essentials will be done. i have lots more things around the house and the nursery i would like to get done though, so i am hoping to have another week. Plus my mom is coming on Monday (day before my due date) to help with DS. So i don;t want the baby to come before that. We can change her train ticket, but it's easier if we don't have to.

The one issue i've been having is my blood pressure has been higher. My OB takes it so seriously (more than my OB did with my last pregnancy) and she increased my meds and wants me coming in for weekly non-stress tests (NST). So i went to the hospital on sunday and everything was fine and i have to go back again this friday. and hopefully everything will be fine again and it is will just be taking time away from when i could be getting a mani/pedi, lol which is what i wanted to do friday morning.

@californiadreams: I hope baby stays head down for you and that he stays put long enough for you to get some stuff done! Do you have a back-up plan for #1 if you go into labor before your mom comes?

Just had our 37 week appointment. Baby Girl is head down, but still a little floaty, so we're keeping an eye on her. Everything else looks great, so we just wait now. My OB estimated she's about 6lbs now, so if she stays put for another 3 weeks she's guessing a 7-7.5lb baby, perfect!

The nursery is coming together... sort of. I've accumulated all the things that go into it, now it just needs to get set up. In my mind that will take no time at all, right? We are repainting this week. The right shade of gray has eluded me, who knew gray was so hard. The original one we painted ended up way too blue and I was in denial about it for too long. So we got a few testers and I think have settled on a good one. Good thing she'll be in our room for awhile so her room can finish airing out, oops.

Clothes are washed, carseat and swing are washed and ready. It's really getting to be real!

@californiadreams: Yea, I was looking back and noticing that E's nursery was all set and ready to go around 36 weeks... poor neglected Baby #2

In labor here.....

Pre labor for a few days. Contractions started again today at 5:30, two contractions 7 min apart and then jumped to 4 min. Was 5 cm 100% effaced when I got to hospital. Just got sweet relief with epidural after doctor assured me that are confident it won't slow down labor and they are okay with pitocin for a VBAC.

@MrsClownfish: exciting! Best of luck. Post back soon if you can!

@saboma: any updates??

Come on February babies!

@ladybee: ohh, i didn't realize it was tomorrow!!! good luck, i hope everything goes smoothly.

I can't wait to see pics of all these babes!

my baby is head down again in perfect position (confirmed by ultrasound today), so fingers crossed he stays that way!

Ahh! So excited for everyone! Hopefully everyone has smooth and complication-free labors. Can't wait to hear about the new arrivals.

At 9.5 cm. Laboring down before pushing.

@californiadreams: Glad to hear baby is head down again! My midwives got freaked out that my baby had turned breech on Tuesday (and freaked ME out in the process), so they sent me for an ultrasound yesterday. Thankfully my LO is head-down, too! Stay put, babies!!

Successful VBAC. Went about as perfect as it could have. Pushed her out in an hour and a half.

Miriam Florence born at 4:13 am.

@MrsClownfish: Congratulations! So happy to hear it went smoothly. What an adorable pink bow. She is wonderful!
