Welcome to Gaia! ::

It begins!

My aunt IMs me and first asks me if "I've had that baby yet"

and then proceeds to inform me to inform my unborn child that:

"We don't want no Christmas babies."

I'm not even overdue over here people!

I'm going to start responding to these kind of assinine questions with:

"Oh actually I had her on Tuesday we were hoping to surprise everyone on Christmas and just bring her by."

Like they think we're not going to tell them or something.

I HATED this when I was over due with Lissa. People called EVERY SINGLE DAY of the WEEK I was late to ask if I had the baby yet. I mean COME ON!

sounds like my mom. She calls me every day and says "Just makeing sure you havn't had your baby yet."


"Mom... I'll let you know when she gets here. Please stop calling at 10pm because by the time I get done waddling around all day I go to sleep. htat usually happens at 8pm. After 8pm you will no longer get "Amanda" you will get Mrs Grouchy pants."

Yeah she IMed me yesterday too said "Grandma wants to know how you are doing?"

So I start talking about this hellacious cold I have and how I've been getting better took some robutussin...etc.

And she goes "That's not what she wants to know."

I actually wrote "Well if I was in LABOR you'd KNOW ALREADY!"

And today after I got home from the CNM Grandma started grilling me on why they weren't going to induce to make sure I don't deliver on Christmas.

Though I was a little more polite with my Grandmother...I was like because it's just another ******** day of being pregnant and if she comes she comes and THAT'S why I went with a CNM because I didn't want someone slapping some arbitrary timeline on when I can and can not have a baby!

That being said......

I'm now dilated "3" inside AND out. It's not quite 4 (closer to 4 on the outside) but bigger than 2. She said "I know we keep telling you this could happen any time, and you're probably thinking we're nuts, but REALLY this could happen AT ANY TIME."

Clearly my body is getting ready. Also Ella has CLEARLY moved from being sorta angled (I used to be able to see and feel her butt right by my left rib and her head was down on my right pubic bone) to being almost entirely centered her butt is now RIGHT at the apex of my belly makes a little point, and I can push on her and feel her head sitting RIGHT in the middle. So like the CNM said this could REALLY happen at any time.

eek my family is the total oppisite, the wanted the babies to come on holidays. I remeber my mom saying excitedly "maybe she'll come on christmas" about Sascha. Yeah that'd be great mom since she was 4 weeks early on Jan. 6 rolleyes . People can be so weird. I hope everything goes smoothly though Nopen.

You know you could always so up at chirstmas celebrations with a barrowed baby and say oh yeah I forgot to tell you I had her, xp that might show them lol.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I know I did. My fiance and I spent the day with his family and had a wonderful time! Also my amazing fiance got me a scanner for Christmas so I can finally post the ultrasound pictures from the beginnning of the month. Now I am not sure how they will come out sizewise but if they end up being huge I will come back and edit it and just link them! The first one is done in 3D, it's my favorite one because he is sucking his thumb in it. The second one is a profile shot!

Hopefully this won't stretch the page. 4laugh

Well Today I went into the doctors to get checked out as usual...and while checking my cervix the doctor asked "When was your last Ultrasound?" I said "In November" Shes like "Oh OK well I think were gonna have you have another one"....and While still checking my cervix...shes like "Nah hell with the ultrasound...lets just induce you".
I don't know how we went from ultrasound to induction but it feels like It's all being so rushed. I'm not dialated at all...on Friday she said I was almost 40% effaced...and today she said I am thinned out. Maybe I'm just scared so I'm kinda freaking out over this. She said she is gonna give me a vaginal tablet tonight at 8...and try a few doses of that and if that doesn't put me into labor she'll start the pitocin.
I'm excited to be getting it over with and having my baby...
It's just I'm so scared and nervous as well.
Well Wish me luck...I need to go finish getting my bag setup and everything else I'll need for my stay.

I hope everything goes well Kaiya!

I'm a bit nervous and excited. I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive, but I think I'm a bit worried it might change in a few days. I've been having really sore breasts (I know not a surefire sign) and been lightheaded, but I'm just hoping everything goes well while I wait to retake and to see a doctor.
