Still here too, still at 41+1 right up there with Gingerbane. On my first official day of leave, and I feel like I'm playin' hookey! I'm hoping the baby comes soon too, it would be nice to spend as much time with the babe as I can!! Also, it would be nice to meet this little one. My SIL's getting anxious for me. It was fun hanging with her the other day and officially trying out my wrap on a baby (instead of a stuffed penguin). Little A really likes the wrap both on me and his momma, it was sooo snuggly and cozy and makes me want to be able to use it asap on our little one. We're determined to make her one (she's handy with a sewing machine, unlike me). She loves the handsfreeness.
Went to the store today and fresh pineapple was on sale, AGAIN! Someone in the grocery world knows I'm past due and want to meet this babe, so we bought a couple and going to dive in later today. Bumped into a friend of Mr Toona who told me not to go into labor at the store...
: Dude at this point, any time I go into labor's a good time, TYVM.
This baby dosn't seem to want to stay engaged, it's a little tease. It will be nice and low, and then pop up, and then low and then up... I've been sitting mostly on the ball when I'm home sitting or on all fours (or mostly over the ball on my top half due to my darned wrists). Going to try and get some things done around the house today.
Gingerbane, hi due date buddy, maybe we'll be labor buddies too... eventually? I've got some leakiness, but it seems to happen at night I get up to pee and notice some moisture on the nipples.
Isra, sounds like those contractions are not fun, and ugh, some people do not get time zones. We sometimes have problems with that too, with folks only 3 ours diffrence, 7 is unimaginable!
Ah elyse, maybe you're just getting the prebaby sickness like Helen hypothesizes? There could be an upside!
Fletchersmama, a hike sounds wonderful! Good for you! Have a wonderful day today.
Calebsmama, have fun at college today. Sounds good to me, I miss taking classes! Hopefully all your contractions are getting some otherwise hard work done!
Samuraimom, could you send your woman who makes the house livable around to us too!?
Sounds like it sure helps with your lot!
Smokeylo,
you will get there... Hang in there Momma!
cocoschmoco, howdy! I guess it's just a fun game of wait and see now, isn't it! Good luck! we will all get there, at one time or another.
lincap, I so hear you... no news, is ummm... no news. meh...
Nymph enjoy your pampering morning! Make it a good one!

: Oh I hope this is it! I'm excited for you, we will be thinking of you!
Gunter, eeeek! I love creepy crawlies, but sooo do not love ticks! Yucktastic! Hope your day goes fabulously well!
Jujubie, I'm so with you on the moon thing! Here's hopin'

Phillybama, carpal tunnel really does make sleep crappy, doesn't it. You have to use your arms to push you up, but your hands and wrists protest... POor momma, it's really a rough go. BUt, hey you said you feel like the baby is super low, and IME (from watching other people) that's a good sign that change is coming! So, keep on truckin!
Happy nesting Steph! Sounds like fun!
lilyblossom, it's kind of reassuring to see someone else mentioning the baby moving up and down rather than down and into position. Not reassuring for birth, but at least reassuring that this baby is not some tricksy freak trying to mess with my head.... unless both yours and mine are!

Feels kind of strange, knowing that I'll probably never be pregnant again. After all, I've spent much of the past six years being pregnant. So strange.





: Even some of the non-crunchiest moms labor at home for a long time, that's all he needs to think you are doing.
OK at the moment. Just so stuffy!!! I've taken 3 showers today to open up my sinuses! I'm just trying to keep them drained and washed out and hope it will clear up on its own super fast. I'm doing the neti pot with tto, a natural nasal spray with xylitol and gse, taking garlic...
