Hey Girl, I noticed that you are only 10 days away from your due date. How are things going?

Re: ~*~*Frostycake2011*~*~
Hey Megs2011,
so sorry It has taken me a couple days to reply. Seems like I have been super busy these last few days. things are going well. Had my doctors appt on Monday and she is very happy with the progress I am at. 3 cms dilated, almost 100% effaced, and baby's head is already engaged. I keep telling myself that I could very well go right past my due date! So that if the day comes and goes, not to drive myself crazy. We have however spoke with my OB and on week 41 day Dec 8th, she will most likely break my water, as a first resort of induction. We are happy to be going as med free as possible.
At my appt Monday, she swept my membranes and I have been feeling SUPER crampy and i've been having lots of lower back pain on and off. Thankfully baby has waited. My mom is flying in this afternoon from Darwin Australia. We are so happy she will arrive before baby does, and she will actually get to see me pregnant with the 1st grandchild. I think I would of been sad if she couldn't of had that opportunity , to see it in person and to feel it. So now, at 8 days before our due date, baby is still sticking around. I will keep you posted, and try and be a little quicker on the replies.
I'm so excited but so nervous all at the same time. It's a very overwhelming feeling. But needless to say, I am so ready to be the mom of this little person. And to finally know! Is it a boy or a girl!!!
I was actually just thinking of you this morning Frosty! (Thank you for the wonderful, supportive message yesterday!) I kinda-sorta dreamt about you last night. Sounds kinda weird, I know, but it's true! You'd had a boy!
Anyways, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck with your labor and delivery, in case we don't hear from you again before it happens! Take care!!
Hey FirstSchatz,
That is too funny, Everyone seems to think it's a boy. Although my mind has played tricks one me. I dreamt I had twin boys once and then dreamt I found out our team green surprise and it was a girl...So honestly I have no maternal instinct. I will definitely let you know once he or she is born, weither your dream was correct. These last 24 hours, I have been feeling so much lower back pain, but being a FTM, who knows right!? I honestly hope my water breaks that way it's a clear sign that it's go time
And as for yesterday, I know how it feels to grieve a loved one, and even the smallest, kind words can help hold our head up high. Especially going through it while pregnant, We have so much more emotions and hormones flooding through our bodies. It was really great though, to hear that your soon to be little boy was conceived around your moms birthday. That is such a heart warming feeling.
I'll keep in touch, And update when I can. Have a wonderful day mama!
Wow 3cm and almost 100% effaced! Crazyness!! You are getting soooo close. I'm glad your mom will be there to experience it. I bet the baby knew and held out for gramma. You'll have to let me know how the med free goes. I want to go med free (I'm still open to epidural if I need it :P)
No worries about the slow reply. I just figured you were busy with getting ready for baby to come. Not much longer and you will get to hold your LO and find out if its a boy or girl. Heck, I'm excited to find out what you are having.
I leave Saturday for my honeymoon. Thanks for the baby dust
I hope we get our honeymoon baby. We have experienced 2 deaths in DH's family within 3 weeks of each other (1 was tragic, and 1 was expected) so they could use some good news. They are all asking when we are starting to try.
Since you may have the baby before I get back. I would like to wish you luck and that delivery goes well. For sure let me know how it goes and what you end up having. YAY!! talk soon.
