YAY!!! Yes get that champagne in the fridge sounds like a perfect plan to me!!

well we are still waiting... waiting, waiting, waiting. I have no signs of anything whatsoever.
I had a funeral yesterday of my BF's brother, so I wanted to at least be able to attend that. So now we are ready. Its my nephew's birthday on Saturday so we would like to miss that if possible - before or after, before would be better.

hmmmm just waiting, knowing my luck I will still be sitting here this time next week!

Hang in there Dan.....Obes will come into the world on his terms!

I think she's going to be late Dan! September 6th 5pm is my guess!

Ahem! That had better be non-alcoholic champagne!

Oh, Danielle! I am sure that baby Obes is happy where s/he is and is going to stay there forever!

Awwww, c'mon Obes. Dan, you poor thing. Lots more labour vibes heading your way!

I vote for March 24th cause it's my birthday!


That would be funny if he was born on Labor Day (US)

My last baby, I went for a long walk in the morning, had lunch, played checkers with DH, cleaned the lounge, and then 4pm Mmm what's that, cooked dinner, 6pm went to the hospital, 7:30pm had a baby. So my day started out 2 days overdue wondering when this kid would come and finished up a new mother.

So if you get anything that feels like bladder cramps, LET US KNOW!

I vote September 9th cause that's my birthday! Just another week and 2 days!

bladder cramps? I have been having bladder cramps for months

another day is here and its the first day of spring here in Australia and what a beautiful day it is as well!!

last night I had these intense cramps for almost 2 hours - they stopped around midnight and I kept thinking "is this it? is this it?"
but nope - all is back to normal this morning
*sigh*

ahhhhh come on sweet little baby, your special day is only days away - wanna come and visit?

off to the OB for a checkup in a couple of hours...

thanks everyone for your continued support - although those that are saying delivery in over a weeks time? hmmm nope!! get those thoughts outta ya head please

seriously, I know I joke around, but we are doing brilliantly. Except for being uncomfortable I am honeslty feeling great - I have been extremley lucky throughout this whole pregnancy.

I would love to see Obes today, but I am happy to wait until sunday our due date - after that however its a different story

Come on sweet babykins. Your Mommy wants to hold you little darling.

just got back from the OB appointment and this is how the conversation went....

OB: ahhh I see your due date is fast approaching. Just to let you know that only 4% of people actually give birth on their due date.

ME: so no fathers day for DH? (its fathers day here in Aus on Sunday)

OB: no best you get comfortable.

OB: Blood Pressure is perfect still - thats great. How are you feeling?

ME: I am feeling wonderful, feeling great.

OB: oh thats not good

ME: had some pains though last night and this morning - what do you think that means?

OB: not alot right now (as he was checking bubba on the monitor) - this baby is in for the long run

ME:

OB: We will see you next Wednesday the 7th

ME: whats your feeling about baby arriving?

OB: I will see you on Wednesday

ME:

so now I need to continue talking to my belly and convincing baby that this world is a WONDERFUL place and baby really really really wants to come and see it!!!!

lets hope that he is wrong!!! I am going to go look at the map and find a nice bumpy road to drive up and down along

Oh dear, Dan, not at all what we were hoping! Baby Obes, come out! We all want to see your beautiful face! I'm happy your Dr. was so pleased by your exam and scan! Little will make his/her special appearance in his/her own time and not a moment sooner!
No bumpy roads for you, Dan!
