On top of that I've been having the usual feeling contractions, some when I'm sitting/laying down, but quite bad when I am walking around! And I noticed today that he has dropped so low that my stomach actually touches the toilet seat when I sit down, which I have to pull my pants down past my knees so I can spread my legs out just so I CAN sit!!!! Not to mention the heartburn I've been having the last 3 days, too, which I've been lucky enough not to have too much of until now.
I'm so ready for this to come full-circle!!! I just feel miserable!

OK, I'm done whining.... for now!

not to much longer hang in there

my2monkeyboys replied: I'm just counting down the days -- only 7 more as of tomorrow morning at 9:30!!!
I guess if this didn't become miserable we'd never want to have them, we'd be enjoying being pregnant too much!

Swood75 replied: wow...wonder if you will make it to your c-section date? You aren't gonna forget to call me,right? I have tried calling you a couple times but no answer..

mammag replied: Sounds like things are moving along!

CantWait replied: Hang in there, won't be much longer, literally by the sounds of it.

HuskerMom replied: Yay! It's so close!

my2monkeyboys replied: You've called me, Shawna??? I'm so sorry --- we're in and out so much it's hard to catch us. You must not have left a message, right? That's usually the only way I'll know if someone called. I'm so sorry!!!
But yes, I have your number with my hospital stuff! You're definitely on the call list!

I'm beginning to wonder if I'll make it too. Last night I didn't sleep maybe 3 hours total, just from my back hurting and random contractions. This morning I've had 3 contractions just in the last hour or so, and that lower back/front cramping still.
I'm hoping I'll go in and the dr. will say, why Stephanie, we need to go ahead and get this done -- you're already in early labor!
Not that I believe it will happen, but I can hope!

punkeemunkee'smom replied: I bet you are in labor! I had massive back labor with Taylor and that is exactly how it felt in the beginning! Call your doctor woman!

Swood75 replied:
LOL..yeah,I called a couple times in about the past week..No,I didn't leave a message as I am bad about doing so.. when do you go back to the Dr again?? I bet he says you are in early labor..

my2monkeyboys replied: Well, I just got back from the dr. Although I told him about the back pain and all he didn't do an exam. He just checked the baby and I signed the consent forms for the hospital. He did say that if anything happened (water breaking, contractions 6X an hour) to call him.
So, as of now we're still planning on next Tuesday. I'm kind of hoping the coming full moon will help. I really just hope I sleep better tonight than I did last night.
I swear I think I'll get more sleep once he's here, even with waking up every 2-3 hours for feeding!

Swood75 replied: Sorry you didn't hear what you wanted to hear.. Maybe Mr Waylon will decide he wants to come early so atleast you will be more comfortable.. BTW,while I am thinking about it..You know it is 2 weeks and 2 days til Thanksgiving,right??LOL..I noticed your ticker says 1 week and 6 days..

my2monkeyboys replied: I'm kind of hoping he'll want to come early, but then that'll disrupt all the planning we've done around the 18th date! It's a shame I'm not going on Friday morning -- then it'd be the best of both worlds! I guess that wouldn't be motherhood, though.

Oh, yeah, I'm not sure what is up with the ticker -- it's supposed to just be the right date -- I'll have to try and fix that.
