@Mrs. Lovejoy: congrats!!

@andthewildones: nope, not yet... Anxiously awaiting having some news of my own to share... Any more symptoms, yourself??

@GoGoSnoGirl: @andthewildones: there is still a lot of the month left!! Your beautiful babies will be here soon

Wheee! I'm scheduled for an induction tomorrow!! I have started mild contractions, though, too, so maybe we won't need much help to get going. Had an appt today, so the Dr stripped my membranes after we watched my mild contractions on the NST monitor. I didn't even feel the 1st one, but recognized it after seeing the peaks on the tracer paper. Come on baby girl, we wanna meet you!

@GoGoSnoGirl: Good luck!!! Hopefully she doesn't even wait til tomorrow!

Thanks ladies! Had pretty regular but mild contractions much of yesterday afternoon/last evening, but was able to sleep at home & now up & ready to kick them back into gear!

@FSUAliss: my next appt is tomorrow too! i hit 40wks next week.

@enjollah: congratulations!! That is a lot going on!!

@enjollah: congrats!!

@enjollah: Congrats!!!

@FSUAliss: Good luck! Fingers crossed for a smooth, quick delivery!

Keira Natalie made it into the world at 5:11am. No induction, no water breaking early. I think sweeping the membranes at the doctor yesterday did it. Labor was fast. I had cramping all day yesterday from the membrane sweep but they progressed a bit around 10pm. I was able to lightly fall asleep. Around 1am they became a little more intense and were about 3-4 minutes apart. Being the stubborn person I am, I waited until they became too hard to handle. We arrived at the hospital and I was 8-9 cm dilated, so no epidural for me. I was kind of hoping to go without but with the pain I was having, I was going to get one if I was under 7cm. Long story short, got in the hospital bed at 4:05 and she was here at 5:11! It was a rough ride, that's for sure. Mommy and baby are doing good.

@FSUAliss: Wow that was fast! Congrats!

Finally our little girl has arrived!! Had a membrane sweep Tue, cramps, bloody show & mild contractions. Then not much happened Wed & we got bumped from the induction schedule due to a busy day on the labor ward. On Thu 4am, my water broke and we then spent ALL day in the hospital & I finally gave birth at 3am this morning!

@FSUAliss: congrats!!!! Eyes are wide open!! So pretty!

@GoGoSnoGirl: congrats!!!
