Well it is the 17th of December and no baby yet. My due date is not until the 19th but nothing is really happening with me even progressing towards labor. I had small labor pains Friday night but have felt great ever since. I have basically scrubbed my apartment from top to bottom bored out of my mind waiting for something to happen. Friday was suppose to be my last day at work but I am here at work again because I do not want to sit at home just waiting. I think today-Monday will be my last day. Everyone is wondering what I am doing at work so I think this is it. If you have any suggestions on what I can do while I wait to go into labor let me know.

Oh Shanie, Shanie, Shanie...I wish I had some remedies that would actually work. When I was pregnant and overdue with Ellee, I tried some crazy things that people told me worked EVERY time...but not for me. They just inflicted a LOT of pain and discomfort. Nothing else. Ellee just decided to come late and there was nothing I could do to help it. I wish there was! I am soooo excited for you and this this baby. I'm going to be checking your blog like crazy to see any updates! Good luck with everything! :)
It was good to see you yesterday. I hope all goes well. I'll see you after I get back from GA
When I went into the doctor for a check-up with M I was sure I was dilated to four or something because I had had so much discomfort. He told me I had made no progress and would not have the baby for at least two weeks. My water broke two days later so maybe there is hope! You can go from nothing to something in no time. But I guess it can work the other way too. I know at the end there is nothing you want more than to get that baby out! My cousin told me, "The only thing that could make you want to go through labor is pregnancy!"
Shanie I am so happy I got to see you the other day and you look great!! You don't even look ready to pop yet, maybe that's why you haven't:)My advice..... read everything you can now about babies and sleep and whatever, cause you don't want to do what I did and try to figure it all out after my babies were born and I had no sleep or time. I know you will be a great mom and I am soooo excited to see the little munchkin.
Marianne suggested Baby Wise to me and although I don't agree with their philosophies on some things I'm excited to try their schedule. It worked for her twins hopefully it will work for my new baby. Maybe you'll want to try it.
Oh boy, I remember I took the two weeks before I had Parker off, because I was supposed to be induced two weeks early. Then the Dr. changed his mind. I was bored to death and bound and determined to go into labor on my own. Needless to say my long walks, and all of the other suggestions that people make didn't work. I found that I could only read so many books, and I started a scrap book with my ultrasound photos, but that only took a few hours. So, what I'm trying to say is...hang in there and maybe get as much sleep as you can because ya won't be gettin' any soon! HAHA
Ain't that the truth!
