I am getting so close to the end now that I am getting incredibly ancy. I want to have this baby yesterday. I’m trying to be patient and enjoy these last few weeks because this could be the first and last time I’m ever pregnant.
Baby Brady is still breech which I am trying very hard to adjust. Starting on Monday I’ve been laying on my back with one pillow under my head and two under my pelvis and legs propped up on something like the couch or ottoman. I should be doing 20 minutes a day but I can’t seem to last more than 10 with all of the blood rushing to my head and making it difficult to get back up.
I also found out this week that my companies health insurance deductible starts over on July 1st, two days before I’m due. So, if I can convince Brady to exit my womb a week before and get out of the hospital by June 30th, I will save myself an additional $500. When I go on maternity leave on June 25th, I am utilizing every wives tale I’ve ever heard to induce labor. Hear that Brady?

good luck with the old wives tales. i tried everything in the book except castor oil (NO THANK YOU!) and still went 1 week late. But for your insurance sake, I hope you go earlier (but not too early).

With my 2nd son I was dilated and having irregular contractions. I downed a bunch of water and mowed the yard with a push mower—had my son 4 hours later. It’s worth a shot if you need it 🙂
Good luck, I hope you beat your date!

The last month is the worst. Comfort just doesn’t exist anymore on any level. Just think of it as this is one day closer to the end of this chapter and the beginning of the next chapter of your life. It will go by faster than it seems. Good luck to you my dear! I pray for a speedy labor and delivery and healthy mom and baby 🙂
