Just wanted to say I think it may be soon! I had a lot of bloody show last night and did a self-check before bed, b/c of all the bloody show and I was at least a 2. I had checked earlier in the week and there was nothing. And, I woke up this morning and noticed that baby has dropped! Yay! Okay, trying not to get too excited since it could still be a couple weeks, but at least there are some signs now.

Yea Alisha! I'll keep checking the boards today and thinking of you. Woo! The babies are coming (or at least gettng ready to!)

Good to know I'm not the only person who checks their cervix on occasion...

I know it's not recommended, but if your sanitary about it, why should it matter who's checking your cervix, whether a doc, mw or yourself. I'd rather do it myself.

Well, I finally got things packed up for the birth center this morning. I've been putting it off. I haven't really had any more signs this morning, so it probably won't be today, but you never know. My first was late, so it would be odd for this one to be more than 2 weeks early, but I sure wouldn't mind.

Well, I'm doing most everything I can think of to get labor rolling. I woke up with so much energy this morning that I thought maybe something would happen. I went food shopping, ran a bunch of errands, planted flowers, walked a bunch, made veggie soup, and now I'm going to do laundry. I guess I'll have to break down and have sex tonight! I've got to psyche myself up for the fact that it could be another 3-4 weeks...but I really want to meet this baby!

At my Blessing Way Saturday night, I had my massage therapist friend really work that spot on your ankle that is supposed to trigger labor. Nothing yet.

I had a conversation with the baby today about when he/she is coming. I told "it" that whenever it was ready is fine with me, even if it's late. I think I was just trying to convince myself! Of course, I know the baby will come when it's ready.

Thanks for listening to my vent!
