For those of us who are leftovers...

I went over to the July DDC and that just depressed me even more! Not only am I one of the last ones from June, but there are tons of July babies already!!! So unfair!

I'm officially 2 weeks overdue today. And I haven't even had any bloody show yet!!!! I think I'm going to go insane if this baby doesn't come soon!

I'm with ya, I can't read too much over there...sigh.

I even went as far as a little castor oil today which has done nothing for me but slap some nasty contractions that aren't doing anything on me Bleh.

I'm 41+2 and am getting miserable - feet, knees, etc...still trying to walk 3 miles a day but it's getting hard. I looked at July too but was depressed at all the babies as well.........my mom had to go back to work and inlaws come Tuesday night - full moon right? Induction scheduled for Wed......if no baby.....I'm not even going to argue about the 2 days it is early (for 2 weeks). This is baby #2! DS came 1 day early!!!!!!!!!! Oh well!

Oh my! 3 miles a day? Wow. Good for you! I try to work a few hours in the garden every day, but walking is sooooo painful right now. We have our pigs pastured a quarter-mile away and I haven't done their chores in weeks...that half-mile roundtrip is just too much for my aching joints and ligaments. Of course, it is a walk over hilly uneven ground through tall grass, but still. I can't imagine 3 miles right now! I did, though, walk a mile the other day on the road...but, I was practically dancing by the time I got home I had to pee so bad!!! Anyway, I'm highly impressed!!

I break it up - walk to the river twice a day or walk the goats up the crazy steep hill and see how many contractions I can get - lately it's almost none!!!! One goat keeps sniffing my belly! I pee in the road and have to get my clothes wet before I walk or I get too hot - not a pretty sight - but no one will see me!

I am 41+2 today, and I'm lucky to make it from the den to the bathroom and back. I'm not in pain, but every move I make is so exhausting. I am beyond impressed with you mamas who are gardening and walking extensively.

I haven't had any contractions or bloody show, and when I went to the doc on Tuesday I wasn't dilated even a little bit. Can't help wondering how long this babe would stay in there if we let her! No that we will find out - induction scheduled for Tuesday 7/7.

Thinking of you all, and reading along about the pigs and goats!!

Crashing from the 3/10 DDC. Just sending you all some labor dust. May your little ones make an appearance soon!

We decided to tempt fate today and make the 75 minute drive to the city to shop..............figuring I'd go into labor down in the city or on the way back - nope..............a full day of shopping and just a few contractions!!!!!!!!!

I hadn't gone in 2 months - afraid of going into labor down there!!!

Heeeheee

My second trip in to be induced ending in failure. Waited in the waiting room for 2 hours & couldn't take watching this woman beat her twins anymore so I told them if they couldn't get me a room I was going back home.

'Well we have a room ready but no one can get you into it now'

'Call me later then, I'm going home'

oh Karla, that sounds so defeating........... bleh......... I hope you have a nice restful day at least!

I'm still preg, yesterday I was 41wks. We actually went to church and it wasn't too bad--the comments I mean. A male friend was concerned about the baby getting too big, and if the MW would induce me. I'm like, um, no. We're just waiting it out. Once I told them that the last 2 were 10 days late, they felt much better! lol Like their feelings matter. But I am starting to have more strange fears crop up in my head, like fears for the baby staying healthy in there. But I know it's all just from our current culture's ideas and fear-mongering.

I'm excited to blow all their minds and go 42+! lol I finally started having more ctx last night, but then they went away, of course. They are piddly little things, but still, it's way more activity than I've had in weeks!

I'm thinking of having MW strip membranes on Wed, but not sure.......... I'm afraid of it breaking my water, and I don't want that to happen by accident. I don't know...... She seems confident if I'm like 4 cm, it will "work". But I'm afraid of getting checked and being like 1! We'll see I guess.

Off to eat. I'm so starving the past few days!!!!!!
