Good luck, virgo! And lotusma, since I saw your water broke

Kallyn that fortune cookie is hilarious!

38w1d and trying to resign myself to the fact that I'll be pregnant forever I'm so jealous of all these babies coming at 37-39 weeks! My mom and I took the girls to Fair Oaks dairy farm yesterday, so I spent like 5 hours walking around. Had an hours worth of contractions in the evening. I hate feeling so impatient and whiny when I'm not even to my due date yet! Blah!

39 weeks today! I now have milk in my fridge that expires after d-day.

Today is a strange day for me. I feel "off". Disconnected from the day itself. Is that weird or what? Not sure what to make of it. I'm not tired but feel like I need to lay down. Which I don't want to do because I'm not tired.

I'm not sure if it was the acupuncture on Saturday or if she's just ready to make an entrance soon but I literally felt baby move down yesterday afternoon and then I started having ?contractions? that feel more like a wrap around cramping sensation that would slowly intensify and then subside than the menstral type cramping I was having last week. I felt them most of the night but I was so sleepy that I kept falling asleep trying to figure out how many minutes apart. They seemed pretty close together 3-10 minutes but weren't very painful so I figured it wasn't time to make a call yet and kept dozing off. I have a second acupuncture session this morning and I have a checkup this afternoon so I guess I'll have DH put my suitcase in the car just in case I end up getting admitted.

So is it normal to "feel" baby move down a station or am I imagining things? All I know is that I've had to go to the bathroom every hour since I felt that dropping feeling.

I really HATE going to my OB appt's!! So much fear mongering. Especially now towards the end. My OB asked me as soon as she walked in the room if I was having a vaginal delivery or a c-section? This is my 5th baby and I've had all vaginal deliveries!! Why wouldn't I have a vaginal?!?! She then tells me that at our next appt we'll be doing the GBS swab. I told her I'm declining that and told her why. She then starts her speil about how they're up on the current research and its proven its better to get it and go through the antibiotics if positive, ect, ect... And my baby could die... She just wouldn't accept my answer. I am so over this hospital!! (We're military and it's our military hospital.) It's too late for the birthing center to accept me. I turn 36 weeks Friday, and they won't accept me past that and it takes that long for Tricare to turn me over to them. So I'm stuck with their care.
I'm so done.
