Well, I am a little less than 3 weeks from my due date, BUT... I went to the doctor on Tuesday and I was dilated to a 4, 80% effaced, and the baby had dropped all the way down (sorry if that was a little too detailed but my life is revolving around these numbers lately)-- he said I should have her any time, but here I sit, 5 days later... not one tiny little contraction! I know it's better not to have her too early, but dang it, I feel like a ticking time bomb! She could come in 2 weeks or 2 hours and the OCD, likes-to-plan-everything, bossy first child in me wants to know EXACTLY when I'm going to have this baby! So as I wait I've cleaned my house meticulously (to the point where I'm so sore I can't hardly walk, dumb, I know), my car is cleaner than it has ever been, the nursery is mostly decorated, I have diapers, baby wash, a baby bathtub thing, binkies, sterilized bottles, freshly washed receiving blankets and cute tiny little clothes, hats, socks, burp cloths, and all other items baby-related, not to mention my hospital bag is packed and ready to go! Now all I need is my baby!

Geez with those numbers you could have her in the car! Good luck Cara, I know this is so exciting...I remember the excitement at the end of each pregnancy. You just can't wait to meet the newest member of the family. I also think of it as somewhat of a reunion, for I do believe that a family decides to go this world together in the preexistence. That the challanges each child faces are matched with a parent that can handle it and that for the best we are all in this together!
c x`v ifriuuiiutyi -that was annie's comment.
what is says is that we're so excited for you guys and wish you the best of luck as baby girl #2 makes her big debut!
Sorry I snuck onto your blog. I never leave comments, but I do read it! I couldn't help leaving one about this post because I can totally relate. I drove my Dr. CRAZY because at my weekly appts. I would always ask "so when do you think the baby will come?" I too am a planner and the not knowing drove me insane. I walked for 2 days, 30-45 min, on the treadmill and that seemed to work. I am excited for your new little one.
Good luck with everything! Since you are already so far along, I hope you make it to the hospital once the contractions start! Plus, you would miss out on all those wonderful pain killers if you had her anywhere else....
I hope she comes soon. Good Luck, and I am so excited for you.
Wow- you're nearly in labor! I forgot you were so close!! Good luck!!
