Feeling especially large today (I'm actually not since we make tiny babies, but I feel ginormous). On the one hand I'm ready to meet this kid, on the other I'm terrified of going to back NB times.....

The other day a student handed in his test to me while I was sitting at my desk. When I was putting it in my folder I accidentally knocked some papers on the floor. I got up to walk around my desk to pick them up and as I'm doing so, I see a student mouthing vigorously to the kid who had just handed in his test "Go help her, go help her!" I lol'd, but managed to pick up the papers myself with my lovely squat that I have perfected.

I'm currently lying to myself about the lack of sleep, but really I was a mess with DD1 and remember feeling a lot of anxiety when it was bedtime. Hopefully I'll handle it better this time. |

I spilled out Cheerios this morning on the floor and bent over to pick them up. I regretted that decision for about an hour.
I have no motivation at work today. Next week I start training my “replacement” which should take me through 11/17ish.
I also started eating the dates today.

I pulled something trying to reach down and adjust the seat position in the car we are borrowing on our trip. Belly is really getting in the way! Ha
My motivation is low. Yesterday we did running around and today I would love to hang out and nap with DD before running around visiting family.

rooskie how many dates a day are you eating? I'm going to start that at 35 weeks, along with more sex and the exercise ball to help me get ready for induction sometime in my 37th week. I haven't told MH about the sex, but I think he'll be willing to participate.

That's funny you guys are all trying things to get ready for labor and I'm sitting over here really hoping this babe stays in until we get him.

I haven't told MH about the sex, but I think he'll be willing to participate. I’m eating 5/day. Another former TCF person did it and according to her “the baby just fell out” at about 37.5. I’m also going to a big craft fair just after 37 weeks so I’m hoping the walking + stairs helps a lot too. With the size predictions we are getting + big head I’ll take any assistance. |

I'm not doing anything to get ready for labor. I fully expect to be induced. And in that situation I've found it was helpful to have no plan.

I had never heard anything about eating dates. The studies are really small, but super interesting. I mean, it can't hurt.

DH just told me he has a trip to the west coast when I'm 37 weeks. 2 out of 3 of our kids were born then or before.

That’s been H’s favorite thing to say for YEARS now. “When’s that baby going I fall out?” He even said something to our pediatrician about it. The Pedi was like “well some ladies are lucky and a sneeze and a cough does it”. |
