@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I am an early May mom that lurks on here because I have a feeling that I will be April. I have had an increased HR at times since the second trimester. It is not all the time, but it feels awful. My OB is aware and hasn't seemed concerned, so I just ignore it.

@jh524: congratulations! Your boys are too cute together.
@autumnleaves: thank you! I'm scheduled to go in at 6am. I think we're ready! I've been having cramps throughout the day, lost my plug today and finally pooped. Sorry for the tmi! I'm just so excited and hoping that this means that my body will be cooperative tomorrow.

Baby girl was born 4/12 at 2:22pm. She was 5lbs7oz. She's so cute and itty bitty. And Doesn't like to lay in the plastic bassinet. I'm having all kinds of emotions here. Mom is doing great. She was a rock star during the csection and has been sick several times after. I think now though she is feeling better physically. She didn't want to hold the baby much but seems to want to interact more. I do feel like of in a weird spot here. Mom doesn't sign off rights til 48 hours after birth, and I feel in the way right now. Although mom is so beyond kind to me and wants me there every step of the way. I think that's all as far as updates go. Baby is drinking formula like a champ

@Eieio: congratulations again! I can't imagine how hard it is to be in that limbo right now. Hopefully the time passes quickly. Are you able to hold/interact with the baby in the first 48 hours or not until mom relinquishes her rights?

@bloved: yes she's been letting me hold her and feed her and love on her.

@Eieio: this is such wonderful news! Sounds like things are going as well as possible, given the circumstances. I hope the next 48 hours fly by for you.

@MrsRoo: @rockinghorse: ok, glad it's nothing to worry about.

@Eieio: I can't imagine being in limbo like you are and the weight of that emotionally. I'm glad you've been able to hold and feed your little girl. ️ Keeping my fingers crossed that the next day is easier/less awkward.
My induction was pushed back for later this morning. I'm pretty happy since this means I can help get DS ready for daycare. He's still bed sharing with us so it also means he didn't wake early with us getting ready to leave.

@Eieio: congrats! I'm sure it's a difficult situation you're in. It sounds like birth Mom is involving you as much as possible which is good. Hopefully it will be settled soon!

Thanks everyone! L&D is packed today so they are going to try to get me in this afternoon.
I'm not too frustrated since after taking LO to daycare I was able to nap and shower in my own home. I'm a little antsy, but who isn't close to baby time?
DH is cleaning and finding last minute home repair things to do while we wait. I think the waiting to go in is harder on him than on me.

@akcoffeebean: Good luck!
We have to be at the hospital at 3am tomorrow morning for an induction. I will not be happy if they send us home .
@jh524: @auggiefrog: Congratulations on the beautiful baby boys! Still hasn't really hit me that we will be holding ours tomorrow.
@Eieio: Congratulations! Glad you are getting to love on the baby while the time passes.

@Den mom: good luck tomorrow.

I had my 38w 6 d appointment today. Only 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. @JennyLayneAZ: I think we are going to be the home stretch mamas on this board - having our LOs towards the end of the month.
The earliest I would be induced is April 29 if I do not go into labor before then. The good news is the awful pain I had for nearly a week has reduced and I was able to go for a walk yesterday and do light aerobics this am. Going to try to walk as much as possible to get this labor going!
