1 Don't forget that I also set off the alarm system when I let Charlie out this morning.  Boy, I'm sure a big help! ha!

2 Thank goodness it's Monday? But, with Mom starting out the week with the alarm system incident, it may be a long week. Life is stranger than fiction. My husband says boredom is highly underrated. Maybe you'll have a few boring days!!

3 It seems you have the makings for a great sitcom going on. Keep that sense of humor, sounds like Mom may have a good one ,too.
I was hoping we would have reports of labor and delivery since we hadn't heard for several days.
Keep up the good work , labor on (pun intended) and have a great delivery and happy baby.

4 Hang in there! Good luck with the new baby. I set me alarm off all the time. The company pretty much knows by now it is only me.

With my first child, I had my first physical exam at 39 weeks and I was 100% effaced and 3 cm dilated.  I was still going to work.  I worked for the rest of that week and I finally told everyone I would work from home because it was making everyone nervous.  Especially the women who had had c-sections, some of whom never made it to 3 cm.  My son was born the day before his due date. My water broke at 1:30 AM and I wasn't feeling regular contractions until 2:30 AM.  He was born at 5:55 AM. It was surreal, but also nice to start out labor 30% of the way there.

I hope your labor goes as fast and as safely as mine did, but only once your sweet husband is here!

Good luck.

6 Sarah, how did you lose three pounds in five days?

7 Amritas -- I wish I knew so I could gain them back...I didn't have that many to lose at this point.

8 Sarah, I am glad your mom is there w/you. I wish your husband was too. My neighbor is supposed to have her baby on Wed - We're supposed to get another 10-20 inches of snow on top of the 28+ we got over the weekend. I am not sure how she will get to the hospital, but I am hoping you are not getting the same weather. I suspect you're worrying and causing yourself stress, hence the weight loss. Enjoy the time w/your mom and I hope your husband gets home soon. Is he just home for R&R or will he be here to stay for awhile? Do you have another appt this week? Don't let them do any internal exams, you don't want them moving you along faster by poking around in there! 

9 Don't worry about being in labor--unless you hear high pitched crying.  Then it may be time to go to the doctor.

Sarah:  I'm keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers as you wait for your precious daughter and your DH to arrive!  I'm so glad your mom is there with you!

11 Goodness gracious! I'm keeping you in my prayers.

12 Soon you'll have both your husband and little girl in your arms. My prayers go with you and your family.

13 For real? Charley ate the medicine? That's just crazy! And a broken foot and an eager baby? I'm praying for ya pumpkin and sending you happy thoughts!

14 Maybe the weightloss is partially muscle loss from laying around so much...?
