@mjane: Added! We haven't packed our bag yet either. So odd, we did some things super early and other things we are being so slow about! Congrats on turning in your last paper! Now you can enjoy a little nice weather before LO comes!

@mjane: Congrats on last paper--just handed mine in this AM!

@mjane: oh man, it hit me hard and wonderfully after I turned it in. Freedom!! Hope you have some delicious downtime planned over the next week or so

@mssally: added you!! Coming up so fast!

@anniegurumi: Yes to the BH! And a bit of painful ones too, but they are SO SHORT. Like I feel a surge of pain across my belly and as soon as it hits me it goes away. No idea what that means.. My feet are also swollen :(. Then there are days when they don't feel swollen, but people at work still mention that they are (rude!). Two more weeks is going to come so quickly!

@anniegurumi: I had some seriously swollen feet/ankles my last month, still a little swollen @ 6 days pp, but getting much better. And I gained 10 lbs my last week from all the swelling!!! That was a really upsetting appointment, although I did go into labor that night!

Hello mommas and mommas to be! How is everyone doing? I've been having some more steady BH contractions than I am used to and I think I've dropped, but who knows!

@JoJoGirl: congratulations on baby girl!! Come back and share with us how you're doing when you have a minute

In my Wedding Bee May babies group 17 of 22 mommas have had their babies. I am ready to meet mine!!! I know I should cherish this time before he comes, but I am sooo excited to meet him already. How are you ladies passing the time? I made 5 freezer meals today! Working on some last minute cleaning/organizing projects and sneaking in some pedicures/eye brow threading/etc. here and there so that when I am overwhelmed with new baby stuff I at least got some of that in beforehand.

@Mrs. Lovejoy: I definitely recommend threading if you have never tried it! It is much gentler on the skin, and a fellow May momma from WB had her brows waxed a few weeks ago and she had a bad reaction--her skin had gotten so sensitive in late pregnancy that the wax burned her badly! With threading there is no room for burning. It hurts a little more but it is SO precise, they do a great job! I think you need to book a pedicure for this weekend How is work? Are you checked out? I was so checked out when I left at 37 weeks I cannot imagine how I would be now!

@Mrs. Lovejoy: I was in school working a part time job, and I was actually covering another woman's maternity leave--so I am not going back to that job and have no PTO. The timing just worked out that way and my last paper was handed in last Monday! It's great in one sense, but my "maternity leave" is also my job search...so this will be interesting!

I went in last week for an ob appt and i was only 1cm dilated and 20% effaced. i have another appt tomorrow so we'll see if it's progressed any more. baby girl is moving a lot.. getting antsy and nervous!! hope all the other may mama's are doing well!!

@mauri: Oh, he is SO beautiful!!! Congratulations and what a wonderful Mother's Day!! How are you settling in at home?

@mauri: hooooray!!! Congratulations!!! I love the name and he is just precious! You are a rockstar!

@mauri: congrats!!! He is gorgeous! Go you!

@cupcake Charlie is so handsome and precious! We have that same boppy cover too.

@maybebaby We've been settling in well! Breast feeding has been a bit of a struggle, since Jack strongly favors my right breast and refuses to latch on to my left. But I've been pumping as well, and I'm glad my husband can help out with feelings now too. I love seeing my husband interact with Jack! He is such a great daddy!

We had our newborn photo session yesterday, and I'm attaching a sneak peek from it. Can't believe he's a week old already!

Oh ladies, my due date is in 3 days and I'm just WAITING for him to come out. lol The doctor keeps saying she thinks he'll be an early baby... but I keep waiting. lol

I have the pains come and go but it feels more like a sharp knife pain on the top of my belly or in my groin area. But I read that is BH still. Real contractions start from the back to the front. Sigh.

How are you ladies doing? Waiting is so hard isnt it??? I really want to meet him but at the same time, I want him to be ready to come on his terms. But my belly is feeling bigger these days and I'm waiting for it to look like it "dropped" and labor to begin!

@mauri: So adorable!!! Glad you are settling in well. I've heard the road down breastfeeding can be a difficult one, but I'm sure you're doing great! Have you seen a lactation consultant?

@anniegurumi: I've been getting those sharp pains too! I don't know exactly what they are, but agree that they may unfortunately not be real contractions . I am so excited for these babes to come!!

@mjane: haha you organized your wrapping paper? That is quite impressive. I don't know if I would ever think to do that (but I'm not really an organizer. More of a cleaner). How are you feeling? Do you have an induction date if you go overdue? That's the one thing that is keeping me sane. Knowing I'll have this baby by 5/29 regardless if she wants to come or not.

@cupcake I haven't tried a shield yet, but that is a good idea!

@mauri: Oh, so precious!!! I love the name Jack--haha Jack and Charlie are our top two names with Mason and Edward in there as well. We are waiting to meet him to see what we think suits him best! Is Jack a nickname for anything? We would just name him Jack (not John), though I also love Jackson.

@mjane: I was the same way! Graduation was yesterday, and I made it! I felt like a tank in my robe, but I was there. I totally udnerstand about the wrapping paper--that is hilarious.

@Mrs. Lovejoy: No weekend updates, I was hoping babe would decide to come right after I graduated yesterday so my parents could stay in town! No dice. Last night I tossed and turned for hours feeling very crampy--was hoping it was the start of something, alas, nothing else has happened since then...

@Maybebaby Congrats on graduating!

Our kiddo is just Jack, not short for anything. Although my husband is a Jonathan who goes by Jon, so Jack is quasi named after him since Jack is also a nickname for John. We both just really liked the name!

I love your other name choices too, especially Charlie!
