False Alarms

Well, just a few false alarms. I thought maybe some Braxton Hicks would turn into the real deal but it's probably better this way. I'm 36wks and usually this is considered early/pre-term, but my doctors think baby is fine and ready. Birgen came at 37wks so they're making us think it could happen at any moment. We wait. If I go to 38wks I have an option to induce. I'm not sure I will; she'll come when she's ready I think.

In the meantime, Tom continues to make me nervous with his 45-60 minute commute on a high traffic highway :) . Birgen continues to try and sit in the various bouncy seats around the house. This will def. be a transition for her !

Will keep you posted... not that anyone is reading this anyway :)

Meredith

Well, maybe not that soon

So, here we sit, nearly a week later and no ---- (sorry, not telling the name yet!). Another visit to the doctor on Friday and again today. All's fine and she's coming soon. We just don't know how soon.

coming soon (sooner than we thought)

Things are shifting. Meredith has been feeling very crampy since Sunday, and called the doctor last night to discuss. The baby's coming soon, probably within a week if not sooner. While she would prefer to have Meredith make it at least through the weekend, if she went into labor last night, the doctor would not have stopped her. Obviously, that didn't happen. But, bags are getting packed, one for Meredith and one for Birgen.
