@rpparker: At least we both know we're in the home stretch now!!

@rpparker: Those sound like good signs to me!!!

39w3d here - at my last out of office appointment and then it's working from home and last minute things until little miss comes! She needs to hold off in the meantime though... DH woke up yesterday feeling like he was coming down with something. I thought he was just being dramatic. Nope, woke up worse this morning. So drugging him up and praying this is a passing thing! I don't want to be in labor while he's sick. Ugh, such bad timing!

@rpparker: I'm praying that it passes through him. He went back to bed and just woke up a bit ago feeling energy-less. I'm just drugging him up in the meantime!

@rpparker: those sound like good signs to me! Glad you are finishing up work!

@LindsayInNY: Hope DH feels better soon! My DH got sick the day after we came home from the hospital and it was miserable.

@LindsayInNY: Nope! I thought last night might have been the night. Contractions really kicked in and I started timing them some. They were about a minute long, every 20-30 minutes from about 9pm to 1 am. They never got stronger and just went away! I had an appointment this morning and I'm STILL a zero. I though for sure after all the action last night I would have made some progress.

So I have an induction set for Sunday night if I make it until then! Lots of factors with my doctor just made it easier to go ahead and set an end date. I already took the day off work so just trying to relax.

How are you?

@LindsayInNY: Today is my due date which just made the zero hurt even more!

Good luck tomorrow! Hope you've had some progress!

@rpparker: Sorry you're at 0. All the contractions may be baby getting into the right position for an easy labor.

@78h2o: Thanks! I got my nails done, haircut tomorrow, ate ice cream at 2 in the afternoon while watching Real Housewives, took a nap so I'm doing ok soaking the final days to myself!

@rpparker: maybe you'll go before the induction!! I did a lot of the things you're doing before Millie came. Pedicure, middle of the day milkshakes, DVR watching, napping. Enjoy the time to yourself before her arrival! I'll be thinking about you.

@LindsayInNY: that could be a good sign!! I know it's frustrating at the end when every little thing makes you wonder if it's labor. Hang in there! Also, good luck with your natural birth plan. You can do it! I'll be thinking about you because natural, unmedicated birth was my goal too.

Oh the contractions! Every 20-30 minutes since about 2 am! They are just starting to average out to about one/hour but the back pain is consistent. If they pick back up I will probably call even though I'm sure I already know they will tell me to what until they are closer together! You natural mommas are amazing! I was already moaning for the epidural last night!

@rpparker: YAY! That's exciting progress!! Get in the bathtub for a while!

@rpparker: the back pain is crazy. After two hours of having the contractions in my back every 2 minutes no way could I go any longer and called for an epidural! No shame. Definitely see though if the bath tub helps for the meantime!
