Hiccups

Which makes me think that you're having a girl.  I think that it's a sixth sense thing - you fall in love with a name because subconsciously you know that's what sex the baby will be.  Or, at least that's my silly little theory. 

We had the opposite over here!  We had a boy's name picked out from the beginning of the pregnancy and sifted around through girl's names almost right up until I went into labor.  And, of course, we ended up with a little girl!  So this time I'm trying to pin down a boy's name first, in case it works that way again, and I have another little girl.   

  Didn't  you just have a baby fairly recently?!

Six months ago.  My being broody again so soon is scaring the life out of Keith.

Better you than me!  I'd be happy to swap you some late pregnancy 'discomforts' for a body all my own right about now.   

The thought of having 3 under 4 would scare the life outta me!  Or, even worse, three teens.

I'm hoping to go into labour naturally again this time.  Last time, I was also scheduled for induction due to elevated bp, but went naturally at 38 weeks + 2 days, so here's hoping.  Have been getting rather painful twinges today, but dunno what those are from.  Maybe baby's head is just dropping more. 

That happened w/me about the same time....turned out baby's head was applying a wee bit too much pressure on some sensitive nerves.   

Of course, that was almost preferable to the sciatica....got to where I couldn't lift one foot when I walked.     Ex actually had the nerve to make fun of me....told me I looked like Quasimodo (sp?).  SOOOO glad we're divorced now....

Even 9 years later, I still remember late pregnancy....

I think the head is just engaging more.  B/c now I've deffo got the John Wayne walk and lots of pressure on the cervix.

Last time I carried more evenly.  This time it's ALL in front and man, doesn't my back just know it!  Aches like the dickens.  Looks like a basketball under my clothes. 

It is NOT going to be fun when the consultant starts probing it this afternoon.

Ick!   

Goodness, we're going to have to do a Starbucks run soon if we're going to get it in before the wee one arrives!!!

I'm hoping a little caffeine will encourage wee one to come out and join us soon enough.    Just packed a bag for it last night.  Was so sweet to fold the tiny clothes and remember how Aillidh had been that small.  Of course, she kept trying to take out the clothes and hooting, 'Baby brutha, baby sista!' 

Aillidh liked to touch my bladder from the inside. 

Right. If that ain't an affirmation of my decision to keep the womb closed, I don't know what is!  LOL. Hang in there, my dear - can't wait to hear that the new wee one has arrived!
