Thank you everyone!! I am sooooooo excited. It just hit me that this WILL be my last Sunday without a baby to look after:eek: :eek: Wow:D :D
And how fun that you'll know his birthday already! Don't we live in wonderful times??
Yay!! :) Are you nervous for the labor at all??
At this point I am too excited to be nervous. I'm sure that once I get to the hospital and they start hooking me up I'll get nervous. I just keep telling myself that I CAN do this. It's the most natural thing in the world for a woman to do:D :D
Woohoo!! I am so excited and nervous for you! I know you;ll do just fine, and you'll be the best mommy around -- look at who you learned from!
Yippee! Mommyhood is just around the corner! :D
Here comes Tyler! :D And he will be....Sirrahlyt? LOL! Yeah...I know his last name probably won't be Harris, but he can pretend. ;)
Missy and Paul my prayers will be with you both. I will be waiting to hear from you. I will keep my cell phone close by even at work so plesase call and keep me updated. Love you all. Mom :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Once you're holding little Tyler, you'll forget about all the pain. :)Quote:

Good luck!
I can not concentrate on anything:rolleyes: :eek: I cleaned up my house a little bit, but I just keep thinking about my little guy and end up sitting at the computer doing even more research about the drug they are gonna use.
It's called Cytotec, it's a little white pill that was designed to help stomach ulcers, but was found to ripen the cervix quite well. It's not the same as cervadil or other gel type thingies, but supposedly works even better. A friend of mine got the cytotec at about 9pm and had her baby at about 10am the next morning!
I can hardly believe that I'm going to be holding my baby in my arms so soon.
I'm very good at convincing myself that I'm feeling something. I wonder if there is any way for the docs to TELL me that they're giving me pain meds, but really just give me saline. Seeing a "drug" being inserted into my IV would probably work almost as well on me as the drug itself would :eek: :rolleyes: :D :D :D
I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight:D
Are you cleaning a lot? Gosh, right before I went into labor with all of mine, I cleaned like crazy. :eek: At least I got to bring them home to a clean house. :p
I think it's more of a way to burn off nervous energy than the nesting instinct :rolleyes: I can't seem to sit still for more than a few minutes, so why not direct the energy towards something productive?:rolleyes: :D :D I think I'm gonna try to take a nice leisurely warm bath, I'm not going to have many more opportunities to do that without a baby to worry about:D
Missy,
that sounds just like me with Jonah! On the Friday before, they stripped my membranes (which did nada), and he said, "well, if you don't go into labor this weekend (and it WAS labor day weekend....), then into the hospital you go Tuesday".
I woke up at 3 am! Tuesday morning, and tiptoed around my house, as Jessica was sleeping on my couch. At 10 am they hooked me up, and at 1001PM, there he was, my blessed Jonah.
Oh, the memories....you are getting ready to experience the ride of your life! And, just when you think it can't get any more "something..but, not bad/painful, just something I can't explain, but, you will know"...baby Tyler will be on your chest!
All of a sudden, there will be this 'click', and you will never look at anything the same way again. For me, it was the moment they placed Jonah on my chest.
Good luck!!! And, God bless you, your husband, baby Tyler and all the medical staff caring for you.

Johanna, I love how you put that:D
I'm so close to tears right now. The emotions running through me are completely beyond description. I'm completely floored with excitement about meeting my baby, but also completely terrified that Noon will arrive on Tueaday with no progress and they'll send me home. Or worse, that they will have too many natural labors going on to induce me. At the same time I'm worried (for lack of a better word) about what type of Mom I'll be. Will he be a good little breastfeeder? Will I be able to give him what he needs? WIll I be able to shape this tiny little human being into a kind, compassionate adult? I never thought that I could feel so much all at once.
I'm less than 24 hours away from the time I'm due to check in at the hospital and it feels like it's impossible. I remember feeling like this before I got married. It just didn't feel real because I didn't believe that anything that perfect could ever happen to me. Now here I am, my bags are packed and I'm ready to bring a little life into the world. This is quite possibly the last night that Paul and I will have alone in our home. EVERYTHING changes starting tommorrow night. When will it feel real? It "hits" me from time to time, but I really don't think that it HAS really hit me yet. This wiggling lump in my stomach is coming out and the doctors and going to send him home with us. "Are you crazy doc? You're just gonna let us take him home???"
I see that I'm rambling, so I should go and attempt to sleep. I'm not going to bother turning off the computer tonight because I'm quite certain that sleep will be very hard to come by. Thank you all for your kind words and support throughout my pregnancy. I feel like I have a HUGE extended family here on PetTalk:D :D
I think that we learn most by example . . . and if you're the person that you seem to be, you should have no worries. I'm sure you and your husband are completely capable of raising this child . . . you'll be raising him in a loving, caring & affectionate environment.Quote:

Just remember that babies don't come with an instruction manuel. You'll learn a lot on the way . . . I can't wait to be in your shoes! I know when I am, I'll be just as emotional because I'm so emotional in general!
Also remember that there are tons of people here on PT that would be more than happy to listen to your concerns & stories . . . I know I feel like I've been right there with you through all this! The belly photos . . . the stories . . . it's all been great to watch you go through your pregnancy! And we can't wait to watch little baby Tyler grow up!
Try to relax today, Missy! You'll need your rest! ;)
Can't wait for the new baby to arrive!! Missy, you are going to be a brand new mommy! I hope your labor is a breeze for you.
Take care,
Willie:)
