Re: Monday Ticker Change
38 weeks, size of a Pomeranian
38 week appointment on Wednesday, just waiting to meet this little fellow!
Last time with my son, I pretty much just felt miserable at the end like everyone else, and then one day, BAM! I went into labor quickly and had a baby. This time, I'm feeling all of these crazy things happening and loosening and pains ahead of time. It has me all anxious. Like, I think he's coming anytime! It's kind of driving me nuts. Last time, since I was a FTM, I was mentally prepared for him to be overdue. Now I'm set that he's coming early and all of these aches and pains are pretty annoying!
We are only telling whichever of my parents happens to need to watch my son. I don't want anyone waiting around the hospital! Only my husband is aloud in there.

Zoe is 4 days old!
FYI- My doctor said family is welcome to visit 1-2 hours after baby was born. I told all family that we needed at least 1 1/2 hours so that baby could have skin-to-skin time, nurse, the nurses could monitor that I was doing well and check out baby. When I went into labor, we texted our families and I wrote to a few good friends asking for prayers. Everyone was respectful and waited for us to update them. My in-laws met us at the hospital and took DD to breakfast and outside to play while DD2 was born. Everyone else waited at home/work until the afternoon.
Good luck ladies! I am thinking about you all!
I doubt I will tell anyone when labor starts - but will be letting my parents know when we decide to head to the hospital. We've already talked about not having everyone pile up in the hospital waiting room, and since my parents live maybe 10 minutes away it just makes more sense for them to hang out at home until baby arrives especially if it is the middle of the night. It will just be DH in the room with me.
How many weeks? Size Comparison? 38 weeks - winter melon or pumpkin?
Anything baby related this week? 38 week appointment on Friday with 1st cervix check.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms? No symptoms, just anxiety about when this is all going to happen. 13 days (as of today) until my due date and I'm just anxious. When will I go into labor & where will I be when it happens? I'd really like to be at home... My boss & I finally went over who is going to be handling my desk duties while I am on maternity leave so now I feel like I could care less about working these last 2ish weeks.
GTKY: Who are you telling when you go into labor? Who are you allowing to be in the delivery room? Will you allow anyone to wait in the waiting room? If I have my way, we can tell both sets of parents when we are heading to the hospital but no one will be lurking in the waiting room until after baby is born. Little voice in my head keeps saying "yeah right" as I'm sure some fellow July-ers remember me ranting about my MIL. It's only going to be me & DH in the delivery room...as much as MIL thinks that he will need to be supported...SMH.
