Who will have...

[ann_of_loxley]

a 4/20 baby?! *chuckle...

Not me by the looks of it...

Okay okay I know...I am childish

[MiriamF]

I might!

My water just broke and it's 5 am. I'm nervous because with my last labor my water didn't break until the very end when I was pushing, so I wasn't expecting this. But this baby might arrive on it's due date!

[briome]

If I can get my 2 yr old to nurse more I might, that really jumpstarts my contractions!

Will someone please tell me where the time/number came from? I know what it means (I have a giggly friend) but does it come from a movie or something, Cheech and Chong? Hubby and I were wondering.

Today was my "official" due date. Cecilia was born two weeks ago today. Happy half-month, baby girl!

[smeisnotapirate]

Haha, DH and I were laughing about this last night in bed when I was having contractions 7 minutes apart.

We're childish too.

But yeah, so NOT going to happen today. Or probably any time in the next century.

[krismarie]

I was joking this is the only day I *don't* want to have it...b/c of that. but go figure, i probably will just b/c i said it.

Actually, it's been a slow day with ctx so far...

I would have been 42 weeks today. So even without the induction I would have almost certainly had her by this point. It makes me a little sad to think about the fact that I never got to have that "omg! I think I'm in labor!" moment. But judging by the effort it took to get her into the world, I'm thinking she was holding out to be a 4/20 baby.

[laughingfox]

Yay, Miriam!

Nothing here so far. I'm just hoping this baby is born by 4/20/2011 at this point.

[emmalizz]

i've been havin contractions every 8 minutes for the past hour. they're all gone now though so who knows

[sehbub]

I might. I already have one 4/20 baby though, so I'd really rather wait until tomorrow just so the kids don't share birthdays.

I'm 39+5, dilated to 5cm and 95% effaced, and the furthest gestational age I've ever gotten to was 38+6, so anything's possible.

My cervix of steel can not possibly hold out much longer.

[wishin'&hopin']

8 cm, looks like we'll have a BABY today~

water broke whilst vomiting...fun, projectile on both ends!

epidural in...hadn't really slept in 3 nights so needed it to rest...grateful.

So, will he be an aries or taurus?

Oh WOW you are close...... When is the switch from Aries or Taurus? I am on the East coast if that helps anyone in the know?
Mine contractions here at home are getting closer and stonger 6-7minutes apart, but I still worry it will be like this all night (or petter out completely) so haven't sent out the 'alarm' to MW or hubby yet.

[sehbub]

Technically Taurus is 4/20-5/20, but he'll have traits of both. He'll be a cusp!

Happy birthing!!

[sanguine_speed]

Oh cool, we made Taurus!

I'm due today, and would be happy to have a 4/20 baby once my midwife's plane lands safely in town this afternoon.

I'd never heard of the 4/20 thing before today.

[bubbamummy]

no baby here. With DS I was already in labour by today 39+1, but nothing so far.

Baby will be out tomorrow though (scheduled c-section)

[lobster]

Robin was born yesterday, just missing 4/20 - but today is DD's 2nd birthday! A few days ago my husband and I joked that we might end up with two 4/20 babies - missed it by one day!

[mrsbabycakes]

Ann, I was thinking the same thing.

I said to my husband last night, "I'll be relieved tomorrow night if I'm still pregnant." - My family has a long history of abusing marijuana, so it would be a very unfunny joke for the square, successful child to have a son born on 4/20. It also happens to be Hitler's birthday... something I'm not totally keen on.

That said, I know 3 people born on 4/20 and none of them are pot-smoking Anti-Semites, so it really doesn't matter.

[sarahdavida]

I almost had a 4:20 baby - not by date but by hour...I had a General C-section - which is another story - so when I was finally up in the room DH told me DS had been born at 4:15 - but when they brought him up to us (immediately), the card in his crib said 4:20 - then they clarified that was the time he arrived at the nursery, not the time of birth - whew!!!

[dogretro]

I was hoping for today b/c it would be funny & since she still doesn't have a name, we could go w/ Mary Jane Last night I, again, thought I was going into labor, but nope. I really think this baby got the memo that I think it would be cool for her and dd to share a birthday & she is holding out until Sunday.

[loveneverfails]

Well, now that we're in Taurus territory, I officially refuse to give birth for at least several weeks. I can't be the only person who just doesn't want the prospect of a bull near her nether regions.
