Any Day Now

[PrincessLissa]

Well, the hospital bag is packed (with a few last minute exceptions), the crib is set up and we are playing the waiting game. Effacement has started but no dialating as of Weds afternoon.

Anyday now. I should have some pics of Athena after she is born that I can post as Erik's sister is attached to her digital camera 24/7.

I will be sure to post!

Have you gotten that sudden burst of energy yet? If so, want to come clean up my apartment for me?

I'd throw a tomato, but that would belittle the smilie.

*waiting*

 

[tonksy]

as tom petty once said "the waiting is the hardest part."

 

[Leslie]

We don't do that whole effaced and dilated stuff up here pre-labour. At least my doctors didn't. I think I like it this way. I think it's gotta be easier to wait not knowing all that stuff...just going with "if you end up 2 weeks late we'll handle it".

Well, I think we should hurry and start a " weighing in pool"!!!

Good Luck Sweetie-and MOST important.......Dont forget to BREATHE

And call that man of yours a no good pile of steaming batshit. Swear to never have sex again, yada yada yada....

 

[Leslie]

don't forget to break his fingers. Maybe a headbutt or two.

 

[Inkara1]

Tell him I'll hook him up with steel gloves if the price is right.

Oh and sweetie, don't let them tell you putting cabbage leaves on your boobies will help with swelling.......

There goes my cabbage leaf boobie business. Thanks.

my hand to god, it works! i promise. the key is is that the cabbage has to be frozen. it's the warmth of you breast that thaws the leaf and then and only then does the cabbage release whatever ooze it is that works. i breastfed all my children, the last for almost 2 years. cabbage leaves were the only thing i found that worked.

I just thought it was so odd that a nurse was telling me to put cabbage leaves on my boobs for swelling.....I wanted to say yeah...then i don't have to worry about cooking it for stuffed cabbage...
with Matthew I never even got any milk, so I couldnt breast feed if i wanted? go figure that...

I just did the old fashion method and had Mom bound me with a towel and saftey pin....but when she took the towel off...OMG, they filled up and burned so bad, I wanted to die......and whatever you do-DON'T Let Hot Water hit them....
