I will rejoice and be glad in it
"This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it." That's how I feel today.
I don't know if I'm nesting or if it's just the contrast in how I feel now that I'm not sick, but I feel great today! I took a Tylenol PM before going to bed last night because I was having quite a bit of discomfort and had been fighting insomnia. I slept well.
Today I have energy and I'm puttering around the house cleaning, drinking "pregnancy tea" (with raspberry leaf), joking with the kids and singing at the top of my lungs.
It's a beautiful bright sunny day. The girls are happily playing outside at the moment right outside the window. They've been playing so well together this week.
Today and tomorrow are the days to enter exhibits in the county fair, so I'm going to get a couple of the afghans I've made and a few baby sweaters ready to go, and hopefully I'll get to take them over there before things get too crazy with the baby.
I wish days like this to everyone!

I love hearing how upbeat you sound! :)
Oh this is very nesting. You are taking on the world--it is nearly manic, and you love everyone and everything? I'm glad you are enjoying it. Get enough sleep--I don't want to jinx you, but... :)
Your still prego? Serve that baby with an eviction notice already! It does however sound as though the mood you are in is typical of the baby is coming out rejoice! Good luck!
hey. things are sounding awesome. glad to hear that everything is still going well. i'm checking every day to see if the little one has appeared yet! the suspense is too much!! good luck. take care,
rach
Okay. That's it! We are not patient people, here! Baby E must really be comfortable in there! Did someone slip her the TV remote and a pillow? Come out!
Push 'em out, shove 'em out -- way out!
Well I did get my membranes stripped today, and it wasn't bad at all.
The midwife is recommending induction early Saturday morning (check in Friday at midnight) if we haven't had Baby E by then. She thinks just the preliminary stuff without the pitocin will do the trick.
It seems like my body is really *trying* to go into labor and is ready, but just not quite getting over the hump.
All my best to you.
Trusting that Baby E will decide to make her way into this world before Friday. I am betting it is this Thursday,.. any takers for the baby lottery? ;0)
It will happen. Due dates are often iffy--even 42 weeks is still in range. I have some feelings about induction, but I'm sure you'll make the right choice for you. I think you'll be going soon on your own :)
At the moment I'm having contractions every 5-10 minutes--they hurt more than the ones I've been having the last few days, but are shorter in duration???? About 30 seconds long.
My midwife is suggesting induction via Misoprostol this weekend if the baby hasn't come by then. She said she's almost never suggested it for anyone unless there's a compelling medical reason, but thinks I would be a good candidate for it because it seems like my body is really ready and trying to go into labor but just isn't quite getting there for some reason, and because I'm several weeks later than I've been with my other babies, had such a fast and easy labor last time, and have essentially been in early labor for about 6 weeks now, with regular contractions 10 minutes or closer for hours and days at a time.
I am trying to research Misoprostol and figure out how I feel about that. I wouldn't even be considering it at this point if my DH wasn't going to be gone for a week soon--I really don't know what to do. I made an appointment for Thursday with my naturopath for a Bowen/pressure point procedure she and my MW say can trigger labor also.
I'm going to try a few things like walking tonight since these contractions are keeping up, and see if that will kick things into gear. So we'll see. Hopefully this will turn into full-blown labor tonight or in the next day or two and I won't have to make the decision this weekend. I hate making decisions like this.
