But not too much.. But yeah I guess its a hint to me that reese is getting ready to meet the world...

Yupp.. Just 18 days Smile .. Man I cant wait... You kno being able to hold him and cuddle him, and feed him, and (off subject what the cat just walked in the living room with the plug for the sink in the bathroom?) but yeah I wanna know what he looks like... I wanna know if he looks like his daddy or me lol... I have a doc appointment today so after the appointment I will let you guys know if I hear anything new... I think im gonna ask about getting induced because of shawns work is very busy and if I went into labour on a day he works he might not be able to get to the hospital, and I dont want that.. So im gonna see if it would be possible to get induced on one of his weekends so he can be there, and then have some time with me and the baby before he goes bk to work...

I know what you mean when you say about the pressure accompanied by the period like pain.. I have had that for some time now also. I am hoping that connor wants to come out soon.. I have just 10 days left.. And still no baby:( that is kinda upsetting.. Specially since I went into preterm labor and everyone thought for sure that I wouldn't go this long... I get bugged everyday by someone about when I am going to have this baby... I have been 70% effaced and 1 cm dialated for about 6 days now! Another disapointment... I thought for sure things were going to be fast once I started these stages.. But no such luck.. He is stubborn and wants to keep his little behind inside of mommy...

I wish you luck oh_mommy.. May your delivery be fast, safe, and healthy... Let us know how everything is going! I have a dr appointment tomorrow and will update everyone if I get any updating information!

Do you have a camera? I don't think so from how seldom you get to post pictures but you should have one for when he gets here. So you can show him off to all of us.

Shawn has a digital camera but hes too lazy to take a picture and put it on the comp lol... But yeah I will get tons of pics when he's born Smile .. Today at the appointment the doc said if I dont have the baby by my next appointment ( next friday ) then he will cheak to see if the mucus plug is falling out and cheak for dialation and effacement... He said also that the head has moved down abit but he can still wiggle it around... He also said that the babys head is kinda sideways but should move before I go into labour, and if it dosnt then im just going to have a hard labour (oh he better move Mad ) lol... But yeah not much has changed, and my mom kept blabbing so I forgot to ask about getting induced... But oh well... Ill ask next week if I haven't had him yet..
