Ladies with inside babies check in

How's everyone doing today?  How are you feeling?  Any holiday plans?  

We're just hanging out around the house waiting for family to get in tomorrow!

About one week left here. Feeling good except for the pelvic bone pain. We're hosting tonight (just 4 people) and going to a friend's house tomorrow night. Other than that, I am doing the last load of baby laundry and sterilizing my breast pump. Smile

Still here! Today is "d-day" but no signs of little one coming.

I'm trying to be patient, but at the same time, drinking red raspberry tea, eating pineapple, & walking. (not in excess though)

I'm feeling tired & envious of my friends who have had their babies, a little disappointed he's not here yet- but hanging in there! 

Holiday plans are to stay in with the immediate family and relax!  I did it big on thanksgiving, baked and cooked all day long, going to take it easy for this one!

Due tomorrow and no immediate signs of baby coming at this point. (My first was early and my doc thought this one would be, too, so I'm in a bit of new territory here.) I've had irregular contractions all night every night for the past few days and still nothing, so we're planning to go to my mom's (about an hour away) for dinner tomorrow. We're planning to take it easy on Christmas Day and the in-laws are planning to bring food down, although maybe we'll go there if baby still isn't here.

I've got a viral cold (strep culture was negative), so my throat is feeling super sore. Pregnancy-wise I still feel about the same. (EDD was yesterday). 

My in-laws are freaking out though. Has anybody else's family been like that? MIL is very nervously anxious (not like excited, but overly worried about every detail). She doesn't even know I'm sick, but she keeps calling every few days (the past 1.5 weeks) with various worries. It is really annoying me.

 We don't have any holiday plans since we don't live near any family and could be in the hospital anyway.

Today is the day, but, so far just b.h all last night and a few scattered through today, no other signs though.  So it's a matter of the waiting game.  Tomorrow we may go over to see family depending on how I feel.

I'm feeling ok--definitely more achy and having a much harder time sleeping over the past few days, but otherwise, I can't really complain. I'm at work right now and have been fairly busy, so at least that's making the time pass.

We're tentatively planning to go to my husband's family Christmas eve gathering tomorrow, then spend the night at MIL's about an hour away. Obviously that will change if Atticus starts making a move, but no signs of anything yet. At least if he stays put, I'll get to see Les Mis!

Still feel like a walking time bomb.

Doing okay today... feeling kind of anxious.  I've been having lots of twinges but nothing that I would even call a contraction.  I have just had a large amount of pineapple with my lunch! 

We have lots of holiday plans!  Tomorrow we're riding the Christmas train downtown with my whole family.  Christmas Day we're spending with DH's family, although we'll meet my Mom and Dad at the pub for a drink (they're British so we always have to fit in the pub!) and then Boxing Day we have Christmas dinner with my family.  So lots to keep me busy I guess!

Doing surprisingly well. Took a long nap with DS and just been doing laundry and present wrapping all day. We celebrated xmas yesterday with family. Tuesday, if we're still here, we will have a lowkey day and just have my grandmother over for dinner so she doesn't have to eat alone.

Had purposely not made any plans for this time since I was just sure DD would be here by now.  We're just sitting around and waiting.  Tomorrow and Tuesday will be spent with the in-laws and then Tuesday night getting some rest before Wednesday's induction.  Really hoping to go before Wednesday, though!

 I am having a terrible time trying to be patient.  Once I convince myself to be patient, then I start having contractions/back ache/intestinal pain and I start to think something might be happening....then it quits!  It's driving me insane!!!

I am 40+2 and just hanging out - I am up to crying at least 2 times a day but I actually feel fairly good, I am chalking it up to my hormones Smile

We are going to my sister for my family's Christmas celebration - we do it on the Eve. Will be at home with DH and puppy dogs for the Day festivities, his family lives in NE.

I am walking, bouncing on my ball and having BHs from about 6pm-2am everyday, just getting the old ute warmed up for the big show!

Still here! Today is the great baking day of death. I am making pumpkin gingerbread, Japanese cheesecake, french onion soup, fudge, and crock pot hot chocolate. Add in the 2 hour trip to the grocery store walking around and pushing a broken cart, hopefully I can Betty Crocker this kid out.

If not, then tomorrow is Christmas Eve at Mima's, Christmas we spend in between DH's parents (they are divorced). So ton's of fun!

How's everyone doing today? Tired, exhausted.  Went to a. Restaurant with DH's family, and they are just exhausting as a whole.  It isn't even fun and kind of sucked.  

How are you feeling?  Ready.  RCS is Thursday.  I just want to stay home and relax between now and then, but no chance for that unfortunately.

Any holiday plans?  DH's aunt and uncle's tomorrow night, my family on Tuesday afternoon.

Edilo- Same here!  My DS was born at 39w2d, and here we are with nothing going on with baby #2 :)

Also, my MIL apparently called my H and asked if I had to 'go to the bathroom a lot lately'- referring to my bowels because she wanted to know if my body was getting prepped and cleaned out for labor.  Um......yeah no.

Today, I am doing fine :( which bums me out! I think I convinced myself I would have this little girl by Christmas - more of a want than logical :) Not due until 12/28. So everyday that goes by and I feel OK, it makes me sad. We are literally just waiting and being anxious and I fear not enjoying the down time and holiday. 

Headed to the OB tomorrow AM for one last pre-holiday check in and then will go to my parents {1 hour away} for the day so our son can have Christmas with his grandparents and my siblings. And then Christmas Day we will play by ear. We can always go back to my parents but part of me wants to stay home and have Christmas just the three of us - last time!  

 I have now eaten eggplant parm {dinner last night, lunch today and dinner today} and have consumed more fresh pineapple than is normal! And lots of time with the hubby. And honestly, I don't think it has done a thing. So I may just sit back and let my body do this on its own. I am a VBAC hopeful so as the clock ticks, I get more anxious I will end up in the RCS boat again which I desperately fear. But I think I need to embrace "will come when ready" mentality!

Hanging in there strong.  Feeling fine.  My parents are visiting and helping cook/clean/take care of DS.  I go in for an u/s and appointment on the 26th and if size/everything looks the same as before I have a c/s scheduled for the 28th.

Doing ok...  at this point, I'd almost rather wait until after Christmas.  (I'd take it any time-- but I think I'll pause the labor-inducing techniques for the time being)

Lots of BH...  

Got a station wagon today-- needed the extra room to fit our soon-to-be-huge German Shep puppy, Baby, and my partner's toddler.  We're officially ready!

Still a week away from my due date...but we've got a c-section scheduled for Wednesday (breech baby). Feeling pretty good other than some BH. I was hormonal and weepy all morning because the house was messy and every time I tried cleaning, I'd get tired and crampy in like 5 minutes. So frustrating to want to nest, and not be able to! Fortunately DH made me take a nap and cleaned up some while I was sleeping. He gets big points today!

Going to see the in laws tomorrow and spending a quiet day at home on Christmas Day - our last day as a family of two!

Sorry to hear you're in the same boat! My water broke at 38w4d with DS, and for some silly reason I had myself convinced this baby would be here by now. (Although doc thinking she'd be early didn't help any...)

 At least we have some extra time to snuggle with our DSs before another LO comes home! :)

I'm doing okay. Lots of pains but no definite contractions. My LO seems to suddenly like shifting to the left of my belly which given her size is not very comfortable. We will meet up with my sister for brunch on Christmas Day and my inlaws for Christmas dinner. I'm a bit annoyed with my inlaws at the moment - see above - and because my 28 year old brother in law decided right before we were going to leave that he was too "tired" to go to dinner at 6:30 tonight because he got to my inlaws at midnight last night.  The plans changed from going to a restaurant I was craving to staying at the inlaws house for dinner. Silly yes...but you do not mess with a pregnant lady's craving especially with the excuse that you are too tired to drive ten minutes and eat dinner.

I'm a couple days past my due date and still waiting for any kind of sign of labor coming soon. My dad is coming over for Christmas morning, then we're going to my brother's for dinner. I'm hoping my mom is back in town before the baby gets here. She drove out of state to visit my sister and plans on coming back when I go into labor. I'm glad my sister will have family for Christmas and I know labor takes a long time, but it's a long drive and I'm kind of miffed that my mom might miss getting here before the baby comes.

Just woke up from an afternoon nap.  Relaxing most of the day.  Having friends over for dinner tomorrow evening.  My parents arrive on the 26th, my brother his wife and 4 kids arrive on the 27th (staying in a condo), and I have my RCS on the 28th.  I really don't expect to go in to early labor, so just waiting around for Friday.  It'll be an exciting week!!

I've had very dull contractions since last night. My family is gathering for the Christmas festivities at my sisters house about 1hr away but I decided to stay home. I just finished moving into our new house yesterday so I am exhausted.

I'm a few days overdue now. I've had some contractions but nothing significant. I am so DONE with being pregnant I am really starting to hate it lol. We just hung out around the house today watching movies and eating the spicy chili I made, I also did some baking for tomorrow. We are going over to my inlaws tomorrow and I am looking forward to that because I actually like them.
