Due in December check-in!

I just wanted to see how everyone was doing.  I figure we can all commiserate with each other!

• How are you doing?

• Are you ready? Is there anything left to do?

• How long do you think/hope you have left?

 Good luck everyone!!  I hope we all have our babies soon!

• How are you doing? Well, I'm hanging in there.  I start out the day feeling decent and by the end of the day I'm pretty miserable.  My belly just feels so low & heavy; it makes it hard to walk.  Thankfully I still sleep pretty well.  I'm getting more anxious/excited every day!

• Are you ready? Is there anything left to do? I'm pretty much ready!  The last remaining baby thing I needed to get is being delivered tomorrow (new breast pump).  I have Megan's hospital bag packed, her room ready, carseat installed, my hospital bag is almost ready, and I'm working on getting the house ready for me being gone (like writing out instructions for my MIL who'll be staying with the boys, having easy meals on hand, etc.).

• How long do you think/hope you have left? I'm hoping she's out within the next 2 weeks!  With my boys I started going into labor at 38 weeks, which is only 1 week away.  I had my first at 38w2d, and my second at 39w even.  My doctor and I might induce at 39 weeks if I'm still pregnant then.  That's only 13 days away!

• How are you doing? Crappy! I have so much pain! I can't do anything for myself because of the pain I am going through. Thank god my dh helps me since I am basically disabled at this point.

• Are you ready? Is there anything left to do? I don't know and I don't care. Pain has taken over my world so I can't concentrate on anything.  

• How long do you think/hope you have left? I totally believe I will end up delivering late. I hope I deliver today/tomorrow but I am sure that will never happen.

Have a lovely day!

Caroline Elizabeth was born on 11/29/08 weighing in at 7 lbs 6 oz and was 19 inches!  The epidural did not work on me because of scar tissue in my back so labor was difficult, but well worth it...she is so amazing!  The easiest baby of my three (so far!) I feel so blessed to finally have the daughter that i have wanted my whole life...i still can not believe it...i cant stop starring at her!!  I know that i could not have done it without in-gender...i cant thank everyone enough for all your support through the whole process!!

 I wish all the other dec. moms an easy and safe delivery! 

Congratulations Samantha!! (and all the other December mommies who've already given birth)

 Congratulations Samantha!  Love the name!

As for me . .  

• How are you doing?  I still feel pretty good--more uncomfortable, but I don't have any big complaints.

• Are you ready? Is there anything left to do?  Well, I still have to pick a name  Other than that, everything is ready (although I would like to get the house a little cleaner . . .).  Hopsital bag packed, nursery done, stocked up on every necessary baby item, etc.
  

• How long do you think/hope you have left?  Ugh, I'm thinking longer than I would like!  I had my boys 2 weeks early, but there's no sign that this baby has any interest in coming out!
  

Good luck to all you December girls!

Aaah!  That's not what I want to hear!  I've actually been thinking about you because I know you had your boys at the same time, and you've passed that now.  I had my boys at 38 & 39 weeks, and have convinced myself that means I'll have this one early too.  We'll see.

• How are you doing?  Fine, just getting tired of lugging my boys around with this belly.

• Are you ready? Is there anything left to do?  We're pretty much ready, or as ready as we're going to be.

• How long do you think/hope you have left?  Ugh, my boys came late (well, 2nd was induced) so I'm not feeling hopeful at this point.  I hope she comes soon!!

Avary Leeanna was born 12/08/2008, she is our number 4 daughter.  Everything went smooth and easy and we are all home.  She was 37 weeks even and she weighed 6 lb 13 oz.  She is beautiful and looks exactly like my last two daughters.  I must say it was scary delivering at 37 weeks but well worth it.  My blood pressure was starting to creep up and a 24 hour urine was showing alot of protein.  I am glad everything went so well.
