Yup. Still here. I’m officially less than a week away from my “due date.” But I was just rereading my old posts from right before when I had Chloe and Josiah and I went 4 days late with both of them… which means I’ll probably have this baby on June 28th if I keep to my track record.
I had my appointment yesterday morning. Everything looks peachy-keen. I’m measuring right on track now (weird, eh?) and I’m dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced. I also haven’t passed my highest weight with the other two, which I find very interesting since I started heavier with this one. I thought for sure I would blow by my previous heaviest weight, but I haven’t. So, that’s nice.
Tonight I made sure I said something to the kids as I was putting them to bed about how if the baby comes in the middle of the night they’ll probably wake up with someone else here. I guess we’re getting close to that time, eh?
Last night the smoke alarm battery ran low and started beeping sporadically at us at about 2 in the morning. It scared me to death, but it didn’t wake Tim up. So I had to poke and prod him until he woke up and could take care of it. The funniest part of this story was that he told me later that it never even crossed his mind that I was waking him up because I was in labor. Isn’t that funny? We both are having a hard time wrapping our heads around the fact that this is going to happen–and soon!
P.S. I’m just about done with the puzzle! And on a side note: NEVER buy a puzzle with a reflection and trees. It’s dumb.
Yes , seems like the batteries to the alarm devices come to their end in the middle of night more often than not.
You are consistent. with my four kids there were different delivery dates compared to due dates. We wait patiently for baby to come.
I see what you mean about the puzzle – that would be confusing having two pieces of everything because of the reflection.
Funny about Tim not even thinking you were waking him up to head to the hospital!! Did you go during the day the last two times?
Let’s see… with Chloe I started having contractions mid morning and went in just after lunch. And with Josiah I started having contractions in the wee hours of the morning and went in around 6:30 I think. So it sounds like mornings seem to be my preferred time to start labor. 🙂
