Hi ladies, sorry this is late! It has been quite the week for me. But, I'm home now and should get back into a somewhat normal routine.

@mmheartspb Good luck with labor & delivery. Hopefully she will come on her own this week or you will have some progress by the time you are induced. I was induced with angel DD, and it really wasn't bad at all (I had an epidural though, not sure if you planned on one?).

@oopsiedaisies GL with your upcoming u/s. You will feel better after seeing your LO! My advice is just a day at a time, one milestone/apt at a time. Try not to think of the whole pregnancy, as that is overwhelming! Just focus on getting to that first apt.

@mingaling2 GL with your u/s as well! I love that you signed up for that class, how wonderful. I am sure Coraline is very proud of her mama!

@shandorfml2 Thank you! I am a bit nervous, but hopefully I can make it through

How far along are you/fruit/EDD? 39W, watermelon How are you feeling? Symptoms? Blah, ready to meet my baby girl. Typical symptoms: swelling in feet/hands, hemorrhoid, sore beasts, feeling like I'm going to pop She is worth it and I'm almost done! Any appointments coming up? Wednesday the 7th which is my due date. We are talking about induction that day of she isn't here yet bc of her size and the excess amniotic fluid. Anything you need T&P for? T&Ps that Miss Olivia comes before then. I'm totally terrified of induction since I'm not dilated or anything and all you hear is horror stories about it. Also I'm so worried about cord prolapse, I need some positive vibes sent my way to calm my nerves. GTKY: Any new years resolutions or goals for 2015? Our goal is to get more involved in our church and develop more healthy habits.

GL - you're almost there! T&P for a stress free delivery!

How far along are you/fruit/EDD?
38w / pumpkin / 1/14

How are you feeling? Symptoms?
tired and achy, generally uncomfortable and not sleeping well, swelling feet and hands (and face! my BP has been good though). mostly just ready to be done. i'm officially a week more pregnant than i got with DS, so i'm kind of sitting here going, "now what?" still 11 days to go till my EDD as of today, and already i'm feeling like i'm going to be pregnant forever and she's never coming out, lol. it's completely absurd, but i guess i got spoiled by having DS (perfectly healthy and ready to go) at 37w. her movements have slowed down too, which i know is normal toward the end, but it freaks me out still.

Any appointments coming up?
i had one on wednesday. no changes in the cervical check...still 1cm and 50% effaced. beanie was a little lower but honestly, she yo-yos up and down so much, it seriously means less than nothing. she was sitting really high yesterday and dropped again today. she'll probably be high again tomorrow. next checkup is this wednesday (the 7th), late morning.

Anything you need T&P for?
we've got everything as in order as it really needs to be here...there's always more to be done, but i don't feel the extreme pressure that i did even just a week ago. maybe that she doesn't keep us waiting too long and that things go smoothly when the time comes?

GTKY: Any new years resolutions or goals for 2015?
i don't do resolutions any more. it's like i'm just setting myself up for failure, lol. i hope to keep on truckin' the best i can, and that's the best i can do.

@shandorfml2 - thanks for the check-in! late isn't that big of a deal...i'm later than you! lots of T&P for some peace for you...you've had a rough time of it. i love your resolution...keep thinking positively! and happy V-day!

@mmheartspb - i hope olivia decides to come before wednesday, but if not, T&P that everything goes off without a hitch! you can go from iron-clad cervix to full-blown labor in the blink of an eye.

@oopsiedaisies - good luck at your u/s! for me, anything i could do to keep myself busy was helpful for PgAL brain.

@mingaling2 - good luck at your u/s, and what a wonderful thing you're doing with the doula program!
