Ohh, Becca. I know A is a good boy, and he will make what is best for him happen. I agree with the RR. That stuff rocks.

OMG, on the breathing thing. I figured Baby was just rocking back and forth or something, but that totally makes sense!

Our babies are soo cool. I cant wait to meet them!

Well, spent the day scouring the house. I swept and mopped and DH vacuumed. Did laundry and set up the pack n play dstairs with diapers, and rearranged things in our bedroom so I can have the cradle by my side of the bed, then we cleaned the kitchen and I made banana bread!

DH carried the suitcase and Boppy downstairs and stuck it near the door and snapped the car seat into its base in my car.

I dusted and the only thing left is putting away the clean laundry but by the time I finished, my back was screaming!

So am saving the laundry til tomorrow.

But we are READY! I'm serious about Monday

Ugh but my lower back is really unhappy and my head hurts now so i'm gonna go lie down I think.

But the house is ready, so that makes me feel good.

I'm gonna post on this thread but not sure if anyone will see it before a new one gets started tommorrow I've been taking my BP at home (actually making DH do it so I have a witness) and its been consistently normal. This morning when he took it the reading was 105/75 and I've done nothing normal besides drink a cup of that stupid tea the night of my appointment (which literally made me pee every 45 min all night long : ) so I think it really was just an anxiety reaction. Still I do understand my MWs concern since the reading of 120/90 would risk me out of a HB most likely.

I've been having lots of cramping all day today and walking is excruiating because he is putting so much pressure down there. Dh and I took dd to the park this afternoon and let her play like crazy while I walked around in the playground area. I'm hoping that a combo of that walking, the spicy Thai takeout I'm gonna eat for dinner and some dtd later will get *something* happening here. This baby just has to come out soon or I'm gonna go nuts. Sorry if TMI- I've had tons of what looks like EWCM the last 2 days which is not my normal at all recently (its always been creamy and not this huge amount like now) which I have no clue what that means. Someone please tell me that means the baby will be born tonight! Since I never went into full blown labor on my own with dd I am completely clueless!

Grats on the BP resolving itself the EWCM sounds like mucous plug material. I've read it can resemble that, and mine did too....

Good luck!

Hmm, maybe that is it. I had an internal exam on Thurs which I suppose could have disrupted any remaining plug. My MW did say that she thought it was gone since I was a good 2cm dilated on the internal cervical os and much more than that on the external cervical os. Now thinking about it I think it actually started that day before the appt though My body is doing so many weird things right now I have no clue! I'll just tell myself it means I'm having the baby soon, that will make me feel better
