shweetpea asked: “Ugh I'm just getting the chance to really catch up with people on tumblr so of course I'm going through your page so stalk you & Wendy, lol. She is SO beautiful oh my goodness! & your birth story made me tear up & brought back memories of my own. I need to write mine up when I get the chance. I'm so happy for you! I read you got stitches, how bad was your tear? I'm having such a hard time with recovery :( I have a 3rd degree tear & everytime my vicodin wears off I can barely move!”

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! It’s amazing how much attention one little baby needs! Hehe. 

Thank you so much! I still can’t stop looking at her sweet little face! I’ve been stalking too and Mason is just such a precious boy. Man, I wish so much that we could have a baby play date! It would be cuteness overload. Haha.

I read your birth story too and started to cry. Isn’t birth amazing? In a painful, awful sort of way… but amazing all the same. I’m so so sorry that your epidural wore off. I was so afraid that was going to happen to me. I didn’t get the epi until 7cm and I was just terrified to go back to the pain. And I did tear but to be honest I really don’t know how bad it was. I asked my doctor (who was being a bit of a grouch) how many stitches he’d given me and he snorted and said “I lost count.” Way to be a jerk, doc. Anyway, regardless of how many I got my recovery really hasn’t been bad. I haven’t even been taking my pain meds for almost a week now. Which leads me to believe that I didn’t tear too terribly. I’m so sorry that you’re having a rough go of it. :( Keep poppin’ those pills!

And yes, I’m breastfeeding! And loving it! She’s so dang good at it! How’s it going for you?

shweetpea asked: “Oh my goodness! She's beautiful <3 I knew you would go before I did haha. Congrats!! I'm just a liiiittle offended that you didn't tell me ;) I'm so happy for you!”

Aww! Please, don’t be mad at me! I feel awful now! :( 

But thank you, dear. I know that your baby is coming soon and will be perfect. Trust me when I tell you that you’re about to experience the most amazing moments of your life. I am getting excited for you just thinking of it. It’s truly, truly a miracle. :)

I feel like I’m nowhere near! I feel like I will definitely be induced next friday & that scares the crap outta me lol

I’m sorry. :( At least you know that you’ll have your sweet baby on that day, if you haven’t already. If it helps, though, I’ve got a gut feeling that you’ll be having your baby before then. Just a feeling!

I finally had timeable ones this morning, but obviously they were nothing :( I don’t even care if you go into labor without me anymore because I’ll just feel like my time is that much closer! Lol.

You don’t need me to feel like your time is close! You’re due in two days! We’ve all got to be close. I mean, this can’t possibly drag on forever.

I hope so! It would be so cool for you to just go into labor since you haven’t really had any signs of it. Give hope to the rest of us without any signs :p

I’m not sure if these cramps mean anything but they are really painful. I just had two of them three minutes apart. Holy heck. They hurt. But like I said, labor’s a big tease.

And yes, that would be something for me to go into labor on my due date! Here’s to us both going into labor SOON.

shweetpea asked: “is the progress a little bit of dilation? Or the fact that you can probably go into labor naturally? Ah your post kinda confused me, but I see that it made you happy, so it makes me happy! Lol :)”

Yeah, my progress is a small amount of dilation and the doctor said I’m very “soft” which is good. It’s not much to go by but at least there’s some progress. I’m just going to keep walking and bouncing on my damn yoga ball and see what happens……

And I’m also very happy about not being induced. I actually feel relieved, like there is less pressure on me to hurry and go into labor. It’s helping to relax me a bit. :)

How are you feeling? I still think you’ll have your little one before me!

I hope so! Or hopefully they give you a date you won’t go past like they did with me :p

I am PRAYING for something. Anything. Just something that let’s me know that this baby is going to arrive sometime in the near future. Hehe. We shall see!

Lol well I had been having real ones but those completely went away & now all day its just BH over & over. Thats whats annoying me now haha I’ll gladly give you some of these worthless things!

And I’ll gladly take them. It would just be a nice reminder that things are working as they are supposed to. Also, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that I won’t dilate until I start having some dang contractions. So, let them come!

Haha same! I’m like oh, another contraction? Hm, nothing new, carry on. lol. I’m done wondering if this is it, I’m just like I’ll know when it’s real I gotta chill til then. I know I’m super cranky too :/

-_- 

^That’s my jealous face that you’re even having contractions. I’m just sitting here, contractionless wondering if my uterus even knows what the heck it’s doing. Does it even know HOW TO HAVE A CONTRACTION??? Yep, that’s the cranky-pants coming out.

I’ve pretty much given up on even trying to get him out! If I’m still prego at my next appointment I’m gunna ask about the pill that induces you, or getting my membranes swept! & Im convinced that even those wont work lol forever pregnant together?:)

Pregnant forever together. :) 

I’ve quit looking for signs. When it happens, it happens. That’s the best I can do! I am determined to try and enjoy myself until then. Which is proving to a challenge because I’m huge and swollen and a cranky-pants.
