Our hope of having Alexis on 10-10-10 is just about over.
I've finished up my last day at work, her room is all ready for her, our house is clean (thanks to Ben), laundry is done and unfortunately I've seemed to give up on the hope that she's going to come early. I was really hoping that I had my last doctors visit but it looks like we'll see him tomorrow. My new wish is that he tells us to go to the hospital right from his office. I understand we'll still be (three days) early but I don't know how much more of this I can take.
I have horrible back pain, I'm not sleeping, and I haven't had any contractions. We've been doing what we think will help her come along a little faster; walking a couple times each day, doing squats and driving fast over speed bumps. If anyone has any other suggestions for us, I'll gladly try it.
I remember thinking back to our 20-week ultrasound when she was so active and we had to redo an ultrasound in order to get good photos. Why wouldn't she rather be active outside of me, in her new home? I promise to keep her warm, Ben will swaddle her and we'll love her every second of every day! That sounds better to me already!
My biggest fear now is that she'll come late. Please keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer she'll come out right away!
Denise, the only other thing I've heard that speeds up a delivery is to BLOG ABOUT IT. I heard that if you make three promises (like keeping her warm, swaddling and loving her) and cross your fingers, meaningful contractions will start within 12 hours after you post your blog message, and you'll have your BEAUTIFUL baby within 24 hours after that. I hope this works for you -- let us know! It's never been known to fail!!
