Hi guys!
I am ready for this little lady to come out of me! I know she's running out of room big time. I had the most uncomfortable braxton hicks pressure yesterday. Oh man! I thought it was showtime, girls. It was radiating around my lower back and tightening my whole uterus. Yikes! I put my hypnobaby practice to work by relaxing my abdomen. It helped a lot but was definitely pretty memorable! They wouldn't subside really just were continuous for most of my walk (20 or 30 minutes). When they did go away I was absolutely wiped out. I was bummed when they went away for the rest of the day. I was ready! It was a good confidence boost for feeling like I am even more ready than I realized.
So, per my doula's advice my dh and I have been trying to DTN to put those prostaglandins to work softening my cervix. I don't know how the rest of you are doing with sex these last few days but it is so not the same as it was even earlier in the pregnancy. I am about as far away from "finishing" as I could possibly be so I just end up feeling kind of sad afterward. I like being close to my dh and we don't need sex for that per se but I was hoping this could be a fun way of getting things started. Oh well!

Thanks Jeri-Lynn for getting the chat started! I'm so glad to hear the boys are doing so well and that your carpal tunnel is getting better!

Alice and Natalie, you guys are so close! I wonder if we are going to have any full moon babies tonight! I hope you have fun DTN! Its kind of funny how you do it to start the pregnancy, and then do it again to try ending it!

Sarah, I can't believe that you are painting! You are one strong woman! I'm sure that you will find a way to deal with everything and sell that house quickly!

Stephanie, its amazing that you are so close! Yay for cleaning the house! I hope that your DH is helping you out big time!

My weekend went really well, but it was very long. Bridezilla was very well behaved, thanks to some lorazipan. I was out by 9 pm on saturday night and slept until 8:30 sunday morning. Mind you, I had many pee breaks in between, but I did get to really sleep. The belly is getting big, and I hear you ladies about the lack of room in there! It makes me happy though because Ben is finally really getting to feel her move around. Before every time he put his hand on my belly she would stop moving, but now she just keeps on going! I'm looking forward to being on travel restriction and not traveling for a while.

Hope you ladies have a great week!

Jen
