Thinking it might be soon for me, too.... UPDATE #10!!!!

about 36 hours of bloody show.... escalating intensity of contractions for the last 48 hours, but no definite consistent pattern yet.... getting very close, I can feel it.....

I'm excited...and at the same time suddenly nervous! I've done this before, but the first experience left MUCH to be desired.... I just keep repeating, "I KNOW I CAN! I KNOW I CAN!" And I keep reminding my dh and myself that the hospital does NOT own me and that as long as things with the babe and I are fine, I am in charge of me and I call the shots.

: I'm exhausted, but there's no way I can settle down enough to sleep.... let's get this show on the road!!!

hmmm... i asked for a pattern? how about 5-7 min. apart?

gonna wait a while longer, though... I don't want to jump the gun.... maybe I'll lay down and see what happens...

It's like 30 degrees out there and DH just took a shower...it'd be just CRUEL to make him take our stuff out the car right now! Though I suppose I do have just cause for a smidge of cruelty at the moment, right?

Update!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! What a ride!

Brennan William Schooler arrived at 1:15 pm on Sunday... weighing in at 6lbs 15 oz. and measuring 20 inches long.

I had an absolutely perfect experience with my hospital...I can't rave about the staff enough! (and my doc just HAPPENED to be on call when I delievered! YAY!)

Brennan is nursing SO well....and his big brother is absolutely SMITTEN. We're all smitten.

I'm so happy I just want to cry!!!!!!!!
Will be back soon w/pics and stuff!
