No, he's not here yet. Aiden would be making his debut in the next few hours, but this little munchkin is holding out for a while longer. 3 weeks ago I would never have imagined that I'd go this far. I felt so ready and 'done' with being pregnant.
My biggest struggle right now is the night time. I was comfortable on my back for a lot of this pregnancy but that luxury is long gone. I hate being on my side most of the time. And right now it seems that I get comfortable on one side, fall asleep and then a contraction wakes me up and I have to heave my belly up and over to the other side. Now... these contractions aren't painful. They aren't intense. And they definately aren't consistent... but they are just strong enough to wake me up several times a night.
Sigh.... I know, poor me! Everyone goes thru it. And I am so blessed that I am dealing with this end of pregnancy instead of being like so many of you who are in the beginning, sick, stage of your's.
My mom has said that if the end of pregnancy didn't make us completely miserable, we'd never be willing to go thru the pain of child birth. Its SOOO true. I'm willing! I'm ready! Bring on the labor! We can't wait to meet this little man!

Almost there! At least you are having some contractions...that is better than nothing at all right! Stinks that they are waking you up though. Right now it is just my bladder waking me up three or four times a night...sigh...but I can't really remember what it was like to go a full night without waking up at least once since Cady was born. I hear that is what retirement is for! Good luck and I hope you go soon!
... We just can't wait to learn his name!
Oh I know what you mean. I miss sleeping on my back. I lay down trying to get a few minutes in but it just doesn't last long. I am waking up with bathroom urges though, no contractions yet.
I told Lauren the other day when she started complaining about her sciatic nerve~ I wish you only knew what lies ahead!! I sure don't miss those days of being SO pregnant and SO ready to be done!!
I remember that and you're definantly right. If it wasn't miserable, we'd never want to go through labor and delivery( Think maybe God understood that?) Hand in there. I went into labor with Lexi at 38 weeks, so I feel for you. I'm not sure I could've been pregnant any longer.
i love that i'm learning things from you that lie ahead...i'm 34 weeks and not uncomfortable at night...yet. i do have to get up several times in the night to pee, but i can switch from my back to either side and be ok. knock on wood right? he'll be here soon i'm sure :)
When I was at the end and miserable I kept reminding myself that countless women on the planet have been pregnant, and I can survive it too!
I cant wait to be a GREAT aunt again!!! I am sure he will be cute!!
Hopefully it will happen very soon. I used to walk half on sidewalk and half on the street (sidestepping) to induce contractions. Of course there is always the castor oil thing, but I have never subscribed to it. I do have friends that swear by it though. Hang in there! You are in our prayers!! Love you guys!
