Still nothing on the baby front, maybe baby took me seriously when i said i wanted a Wednesday and is waiting till tomorrow ? Maybe even the Wednesday after, im not to sure i would be entirely shocked .
I’m feeling more and more the big day is still a while a way, maybe by as much as a couple of weeks. I have no idea how long i will hold out before agreeing to induction, i think as long as the baby is ok i will wait till October – my birthday is the 2nd so anytime after that. Just so want him here before im 14 days overdue and will technically once again no longer be allowed a homebirth.
I think i have made piece with the idea of waiting a while and im no longer as anxious as i once was, im enjoying being pregnant and the time with the girls before R arrives. Im loving my evenings and getting to sleep all night (well minus a couple bathroom trips of course) . Loving a few free hours in the afternoon as Eils naps and Rebecca is at nursery. Just really enjoying my last few days of freedom before the 24/7 responsibility of an infant is mine again. Im reasonably comfortable and not in much pain, i do look forward to being able to get of the floor and out of bed in less than 5 minutes but for a heavily pregnant lady i think im doing great.
I have an anti-natal tomorrow and will hopefully be told baby is lying a better position (i think he is, reflux is gone again which happened when he moved) . Im declining any checks or sweeps for the moment , would really rather not know. It will more than likely be a boring appointment with not much being done.
Guess i should go and change Eilidhs smelly nappy and get Rebecca ready for nursery. I LOVE this time of day


I am glad that you all are doing well… and what name did you come up with for him?
Hoping the little guy comes out before the HB time is ‘up’. Unfortunately Max decided to be too late, so I had to have an induction instead of my HB. ((hugs))
It kinda sound like you are in the calm before the storm. Usually when you are completely fine with things the way they are they change.
Sending you best wishes and lots of good vibes from the States.
Can’t wait till baby’s first blog post.
Take your time enjoy the final moments, ( laugh as you enjoy every moment ) he will come in his own time, Is it not the worst thing just waiting, I hate anyone being late, he is not late he is waiting for his own Birthday??? cliche sayings yes Oh Maybe Sarah’s 8th or Leah’s 21 or Thomas’s 25 or maybe holloween. OH OH OH only kidding have to get a laugh out of you. best Friends wedding. Love you will be sooooooooooon ,
Sounds like you are a much more patient person than I am! Glad you are feeling well and don’t have reflux anymore (that was definitely my worst symptom with Little Elvis!)
I’m glad you’ve been able to see the positive and make your peace with him hanging on a while longer! Will you still be able to do a homebirth if induced?
Your baby ticker says five days to go. When is your actual due date? Wasn’t it September 13th?
I’m sending you best wishes and hoping that you’ll get to meet your son very soon! So excited for you … I hope that everything goes well. And I hope that you get the homebirth that you want!!!
Pregnancy is such an amazing journey. I’m glad that you’re enjoying these last moments of being pregnant!
