Angela- I have to admit that I've been stalking you all weekend! LOL! Just this morning my husband was looking over my shoulder and he asked me "who's alegna?" I said "a woman I'm stalking." LOL!



Come on baby! Get out of there! We want to meet you! It's a nice day to be born

[alegna]

It's a LOVELY day to be born. I think I'm going to go swimming and see if that will coax him out.

I let dd nurse for nearly half an hour straight this morning... she was in heaven Didn't do a darn thing that I can tell...

Totally OT but I saw a licence plate the other day that said ALGENA

Wow! I'm not nursing currently but just expressing the colostrum can give me BH ctx. Maybe try a really strong infusion of red raspberry leaf tea? Like, get 20 bags of the stuff and make sun tea with it?

I found nursing did nothing for me either until contractions started... but then I had prodromal and nursing TOTALLY brought on consistent labour. Maybe soon the nursing will start to shift things!

Hmmm, interesting. With dd I had NO contractions before labor started in earnest though (well, besides BH, but I've had those for months...)

Sigh.

I'll let her nurse a ton tonight too and see how it goes.

I was wondering whether you hadn't updated your signature.

But reading this thread it appears that you have to update BABY -- let baby know that it's time to come out! Baby will be born to a famous internet icon!

[alegna]

Yeah, darn baby must not be receiving updates.... 'cause everybody and their brother has told him in no uncertain terms to get his little heiny out here...

sigh...

[StephNelson]

On a more serious note **HUGS** Angela...

Babies are just born on thier own time and seem to not get our memos... I was not ready for this one and it sounds like you are getting PAST ready for that one...

Darn Kids...lol

[alegna]

Yep. It's mom's first lesson in the patience needed to BE a mom. The whole loss of control. "That's right mom, I wear the pants... no matter what you tell yourself"

Angela...

I have been keeping up with your story and I just can't believe how calm and cool you are about this...I feel like I might claw somebodys eyes out if I were so far past my due date. I am only slightly past mine and I'm ready to kill the next person who says "Oh my god, you look like you're about to explode!". Ugh.

I know due dates don't really mean anything...but damn, physcologically, they SOOO do...I wish I never had an EDD, that way maybe I wouldn't feel so yucky...ugh.

Good luck and lots o labor vibes to you...I hope it's soooo soon. Well, I guess we know it'll be soon...but I hope it's SUPER soon!
