Happy Pain Free New Year
Nope.
Nada.
Nothing.
I’m still here.
I’m now answering the phone “Hello, I’m still pregnant,” just so people will stop asking.
I woke up at 5 am with some mild (like, really mild) PMS type lower back stuff – similar to the way my first labour started – and that continued for 7-8 hours but is now gone. By this time in my first labour I was just 45 min away from an amniotic fluid leak in the van while out shopping for last minute things (like granny panties) and my contractions were already about 5 minutes apart and fairly strong.
Bags are packed, laundry is done, toenails are cut (heh) and all we need now is a baby. That’s my New Year’s resolution. Have a baby. Hopefully I can accomplish it sometime this year.
My brother says it must be a girl because it’s making everybody wait. What do you think?

oh the little stinker! I know you’re getting so anxious to meet this little one and we are too
Did you go past your due date the first time? And they say 2nd labors go much faster! Well hopefully once you’re actually in labor it will be faster
Sending you some labor vibes!

You haven’t posted yet today…. My guess is it’s a boy, they never want to come out and once they do they spend the rest of their lives trying to get back in…

oh … I so don’t miss that question. I went to 41/5 according to the docs due date. UG. People started acting shocked I didn’t have the baby 5 days BEFORE the date. It was a long drawn out deal. Bleah.
