    Barbe, I didn't know the person well enough for her to jest with me.  I also had people call and wouldn't even introduce themselves (no caller id back then) before they asked.  I was 3 weeks over due, and that was enough to push me into a crying fit when I hung up.

    Jen,  I hope you're getting enough rest.  Try to as much as you can before that baby comes.  Have you had that burst of energy already? Sometimes known as "nesting" prior to labor.  I always had it.  I was dilated 2cm a month and a half prior to labor with my 5th baby.  Went right on my due date, actually started labor on Christmas day.

    I am going to slip down to the commissary and grab a cup of coffee while we wait, can I interest anyone else in a cup?  You can read my magazine while I'm gone.

    Well, it does work for a lot of women.

    And if it doesn't, it's a nice way to spend the time waiting.....

    Checking in to see if anything happened while I was sleeping.  Ditto, Leah_S.  So is that something we should be doing while waiting?  Not with each other, of course.Wink

    omg-sex is not even an option right now. I can't even walk without peeing in my pants.

    I am huge, uncomfortable, emotional , agitated beyond belief, and well simply can't take it any more:) 

    I woke up this morning feeling great, a ton of energy, ready to go, then the contractions started, screaming, horrible, get away from me contractions, and then of course they stopped.

    After that I was exausted the rest of the day.

    So tommorow morning I go in to see if I progressed and we will decide if I can hold out to Sunday or go in tommorow. I go in they put a capitar in and break my water-if that doesn't set off labor I have to do the petocin. I was really pushing to wait until Sunday but after today I might request going in tommorow-I can't take it much longer:)))

    Thanks for all your well wishes0either way expect pictures by Monday!!!!

    I was late with DS2 and I went into labor, got to the hospital, they admitted me and 4 hours later everything stopped.  The Dr. induced me with both water breaking and pitocin because he said if I went into labor again on my own I would probably be too tired to push and he'd have to do a c-section.

    So, relax and do whatever makes you happy, less irritable, and try to put on a happy or funny movie to get your emotions to take a break.

    (((hugs Jen & Killian)))

    Jen....remember labor is hard work....no wonder you are exhausted.....I was hoping when you wrote that you peed your pants walking to the mailbox that maybe it was your water breaking....Tell Killian to get off your bladder and come say hello!!!!  ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))  Karen
