Ha ha! I'll start the thread today. Could've done it when I woke up at 5h30, but I lounged around in bed for a little while.
We're past the mid-month mark and once again, NOTHING's CHANGED. AAAAAAHHH. I'm 38 wks + 1 day, and I'm going a bit stir crazy. Yesterday was ridiculously humid so we were all trapped inside the apartment, huddling close to the AC unit. There's only so much internet surfing a girl can do before she goes nuts, and the rest of the apartment was unberable, so I was feeling a little claustrophobic.
I went for a short walk yesterday and still very few BH contrax. I'd love to walk around endlessly to get things going, but my feet swell to the point where they hurt, so it makes walking impossible. To make things a little more challenging, my belly's a bit heavier each day, so I'm starting to get ligament pain again. So I'm not so much walking as shuffling. Not real productive IMO.
Still taking the EPO morning noon and night, still drinking RRL tea, haven't been doing Hypnobabies consistently (boo), or my Kegels. I don't want to know how much I weigh...it's too depressing!
One good thing though: when I went to insert my EPO last night, I was actually able to crouch in the tub and feel my cervix. It's sort of in the back where I can't really touch it fully, and it felt like a hard lump, so there's probably not much change in it, but the mere fact that I could reach it is an accomplishment for me.
Stretching feels both good and bad, as my inner thighs and hips are sore all day whether I stretch or not. I'm trying to do the yoga and dance stretches that used to relieve my back and hip tension but the immense belly makes it real tough!
On a side note, my cats are behaving really strangely these days, and the males seem particularly needy. The youngest keeps walking around the apartment meowing endlessly, as if we had left him there without food or water....and yet, we're all right there. I'm starting to wonder if they don't feel the impending change and are feeling insecure about it. They were quite happy when I switched over from working full-time to staying home.
Last but not least, my dad gave me a lovely new digital camera, to replace the one that DH got me but broke recently. I'll be able to take great shots of bellybean when she comes out, as well as short little movies.

I hope that you do however go into labor soon because you deserve too and I can't feel bad about still being preggo if there are 40+ in the group still preggo
. I'm talking to the midwife about it today. Here's to us one day closer to not being pregnant FOREVER
