The Right Perspective

07-08-09

Today was my due date. It would have been a cool birthday for a little guy with no name. However, unless I have a very incredibly fast labor and delivery (like in 2 hours start to finish), today is not the day.

I had another doctor's appointment this morning. There isn't much to report. I will say that I met yet another new OB and after our meeting, I am not a big fan. She was not gentle, to say the least, and I am not a wimp when it comes to pain. Let's just say that we are now WELL acquainted and I'd be fine never seeing her again.

So, anyone want to take a guess when this little guy is going to make his appearance? I might as well try to have some fun with this, since I'm pretty sure it will be another week before the OB's will even talk about inducing. At this rate, this kid is going to be 10 pounds. The most recent guess is 8.5 lbs.

Oh well, today would have been a good day....

ahhhh rats. I was hoping your lack of posting meant there was a new baby in your house!!!! :( But I suppose if he's nameless, he needs to keep cookin while you choose!! I hope (for your sake) he shows up very soon!!!! Been praying for you!

oh sugar!!! I too was hoping your lack of posting meant baby is here!! I'm guessing that it will happen by this Sunday :). I shall be praying for you and baby.

Is it hot there?? because here it is very hot and humid and it is not helping my 32 week belly at all. I still have till the end of August to wait for my little fellow !!! GOOD LUCK !!

Darn it! 07-08-09 would have been a great b-day. Praying for his quick arrival.

My guess is July 15 and LGWNN (Little guy with no name) will weigh 8lbs 14oz.

This is getting to be tedious. This waiting is just not convenient for me.

Have you tried squatting and grunting?

Bekah,

The lack of posting is mostly a result of trying to stay active and keep busy plus having my mom here to talk with. The name thing...Andrew now says I can call him whatever I want. I think it's still a stale-mate.

Dina,

Thankfully, we had one week of 90+ degree weather and since then it has been quite pleasant. The humidity is low or else I would have lost my mind by now. I don't know how you can stand the heat. Does your little guy have a name yet?

Janice,

What are you trying to do to me? Another whole week and almost 9 lbs? I thought you liked me!! No offense, but I hope you're way off on this one! :)

Chris,

I'll try my best to hurry up, but if he's anything close to being as stubborn as his big sister, I obviously have no control. But your tedium is of great concern to me at this point, of course.

And no squatting or grunting...I might never get back up. However I have been walking all over creation and cleaning and trying to stay active...even through the pain. At this point, labor will be a relief only because it will be different and new kind of pain. The current ones are getting quite old.

I'm sorry Christina, I was only trying to make you laugh!

Praying for his quick arrival.

Hang in there, it'll be over soon.


PS-my word verification is
"quik1boy", what do you think it means??? A sign maybe!

Dina said...

Christina, No names here so far. Me and hubby simply cannot agree on one !!! :(
