My due date came and went yesterday without anything, so now the waiting begins. The anticipation is blowing my mind. I can't wait to see this little one and hold s/he in my arms.
I don't really think I am seeing any signs that labor may be soon. I seem to have been losing what I think may be small bits of my mucous plug since last Monday, but no pink tinge or blood to it at all. I haven't had any intense contractions, just a few mild braxton hicks here and there. My bathroom visits have increased in the last two days. I wish that I would at least get a more concrete sign that , yes, labor will begin sometime soon or at least that my body is gearing up for it a bit more. This baby has to make an appearance eventually, right?
On Friday night the baby was moving like crazy. DH couldn't believe how active the baby was. I thought babies were supposed to slow down at the end of pregnancy, not go breakdancing in the womb! Last night the same thing happened.

, Heather. ESPECIALLY with your first, you are not "officially overdue" until 42 weeks+. Right now, you and your sweet baby are doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing. Try to enjoy these last quiet days with your partner...
I remember that in the days before he was born, I reached this state of calm where everything was alright with the world, meditating definitely helped. I was really worried about a lot of things and letting go did it for me. Take this time to relax mentally and physically and let go of anything that might be holding you up.
