    you do know that due dates are just estimates, right?

    it's just like the height/weight charts for babies, they're based on averages

    ps, enjoy the end of your pregnancy, and get lots of sleep while you can!

    I know they are averages....like a midpoint of sorts...

    I've come to the conclusion that baby is waiting for her grandma to come here and be with me and Brian when she makes her debut. Mom gets here on Monday...We'll see if that makes anything happen...

    And I have been sleeping alot lately...Sleeping like a log...until 3 am, and then the insomnia kicks in.,..:)

    Still no baby...and now she has no excuses...My mom got here at 11 am, so we've spent the day shooting the shit...Tomorrow, we start with the big guns...we're going to walk me silly, and then maybe castor oil...

    I wouldn't rush this if it weren't for the fact that momma is only here 9 more days...And I want her to meet her grandbaby before she goes back home...I want to have my baby while my momma, my support, is here...

    oh for heaven's sake, i'm getting all anxious here...where's that BABY? it'll probably be like me and curl up to go to sleep snuggled up under my mom's ribcage, kicking at the doctor as he tried to grab my ankle to reposition me. i was cranky from the get-go...i was also 24" long.

    I also was a first kid (and a girl too, hahaha) and three weeks over the due date, and I think even induced, and I still didn't want to come out! And I still only leave the cave if I have to ...... :-D

    But your baby girl will come out. Maybe she needs a little longer in there. And it's so warm, and you got yer own pool to swim in... who would want to go out of there? *nudge* ;-)

    To add to my earlier post, I had contractions from early afternoon yesterday. We went walking through a japanese garden, along the beach, visited with family.

    Around 10 pm, I took a shower and while I was in there, I was trying to pee. And all of a sudden, there was this gush that didn't feel like me peeing. And almost immediately, I started to pee more. So between the shower water and peeing, I didn't know if my water broke or not.

    I called midwife. She wasn't concerned. Told us to sleep. So we did, I slept for about 40 minute stretches and would get up with diarrhea. Around 5, I just couldn't sleep anymore.

    So now, contractions are just where they were yesterday. But with my water POSSIBLY broken, brian doesn't want to go to work. and I don't want him home until I know for sure...GRRR
