2010 pregnancy/baby thread

[molucass]

I'm 5 days away from my due date.. Seems the baby is going to be late though.. I haven't dilated any at all.. My next doctors appointment is on the 16th.. My due date.. But if I don't go in to labor by the 22nd I am going to be induced..

Excuse the grossness but here is a picture of my belly taken at 37 weeks, and one taken yesterday.



Any other 2010 mommies to be or new moms have any updates on their little ones?

Hang in there, baby will arrive when the time is right! My friends ended up having to be induced with their first child, when they did an ultrasound 6 days after Michelle's initial due date, the ultrasound tech said, "Well, she looks comfy!" to which Michelle said "That's it, time to induce!"

Eviction notice time!

Aw! Hang in there! My first baby came a week before his due date, my second came a week after his.

I just realized I never posted Topher's birth story... oops!
I'll give you a quick rundown of the event. My water broke around 1 pm on May 21 and we called my midwife. She came to check me and said I was already a few cm dilated, but my contractions hadn't started yet, so she left and came back later. It wasn't until around 10 pm (9 hours later) that my contractions finally started, but they were pretty mild. A little after 11 pm they started picking up and around 12:15 I started pushing. He was born at 12:52 am on May 22.

A few pictures from May/early June...
just after he was born; after his second bath; and in the Moby Wrap


And a few more from August/September...

Oh, Kari - Topher is soooo fair, his hair is almost white! What a cutie, but you knew that!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Yeah, Karen, he is really fair. Nathan was/is too. Both boys had very a small amount of white-blonde hair. Nathan's has darkened a little, but it's still pretty light. I bet Topher's hair will do the same.

Here's a recent picture of Nathan. He's being a monkey "ooo ooo aah aah"

It'll be interesting to see how it changes as they grow! We have one family at my church where there are two boys and a baby sister - all three started out with fine golden hair, the younger boy's hair has darkened to light brown, the older boy's is still very light, and baby sister currently has golden blonde hair, but she's only 18 months, so we'll see! Their Dad's hair is coal black, none of the kids got that!

[finn's mom]

Ah, babies. I just browsed through this and it's all so wonderful watching the babies develop and grow, inside and out! I may go find Clara's thread and update a little on that...or maybe just the 2009 Pregnancy one haha.

No baby... My due date came and went..
I went to the doctor earlier and I am dilated 1 cm, and his head is low in my pelvis. So all the walking I have been doing lately has made some progress.. But I'm still not having any contractions or other symptoms that it will be soon.
If I don't go in to labor by next Wednesday I have to be induced that day.. The hospital I am delivering at doesn't let you go past 41 weeks. I am praying, hoping, and keeping everything crossed that I go before then because I really don't want to be induced.

I just want him to come out!
