Cramping Mildly Still...

Still cramping but not enough to be worried, this is still the only sign I have - except I did get the tingles in my thighs this morning for awhile but after i took a nap that didn't come back.
The cramps are not getting stronger, just hanging around. I am trying to get as much sleep as possible, you will be here soon enough - you just have to be - I can't stay this way forever!

Mild Cramping

10.00am I noticed very mild cramping, not enough to be concerned. We went and bought groceries so I was up and walking about. Nothing changed. Still mild cramping...

Still Waiting!! :)

As you know, that wasn't the real thing, just another practice work up. I woke at about 2.00am and the cramping had gone. I haven't had braxton hicks since but am I starting to feel the changes preparing for your arrival and these are certainly comfortable changes for what we have to look forward to. Dad is on a course all week and an important one so if you are thinking of coming out this week forget it, please hang in there at least until Friday : )

Labor... Maybe?

Okay, so tonight around 5.30pm I felt lower back cramps, they were really mild. Now its 9.15pm and I am begining to think that you may not be far off, although I don't have any signs, you have me wondering. It could be just that I had a big day today and walked the mall, missed my nap and cooked a nice dinner for us all. I guess time will tell. So just incase this begins to pick up (which the pains have since 5.30pm, I am getting some rest, even if these are just the braxton hick contractions. Maybe, just maybe, I will be holding you soon. And I just can't wait! I love you George!

Just Stuff!

Tonight I feel very sore, it feels as if you are pushing the top of my uterus to get down and out. My breasts are very much tender. Lets just say I am sore all over. Hmmm, you have me wondering though, which day is going to be your birthday?

37 Weeks and Waiting!!

Well George, give me a sign. I am being told left and right any day now but you are not giving any clues : ) It is still early so take your time, if I didn't have to wait until 38 w 5d for my next apt to see if I have progressed I would be more at ease. Maybe you will start dropping little hints around the place soon. Just don't really surprise me okay : ) But do take your time in there, as uncomfortable as you are to me right now. I love you!

36 Week Dr. Appt

I just had my 36 week check and George you are fully engaged. it is no joke
that I can feel every bit of your head on my pelvis. But, with you in position my cervix has not begun to efface or dilate so it has been 'estimated' two weeks. When the midwife measured me it came to 33.5cm's, she said hmmm, baby must have dropped and then did the internal exam. Sure enough, you were right there ready to make your exit. Now only time will tell. Lots to do, must get ready for your journey to the world and I get to meet you finally!!! I can't wait.
