Okay so, last weekend I was having lunch with my hubby and I just said to him, out of the blue, I think we need to get our hospital bags packed. He responded with, "I was just thinking the same thing". I spent part of this last week getting travel toiletries together and our little suitcase out and cleaning/organizing around the house. At the time I was wondering if my feeling of needing to "get readY" was just me being anxious to be organized or not but I kinda blew it off.
Today, again out of the blue, hubby and I were napping and I just sorta woke up and felt "weird". I told hubby as such and he said, "weird how" and I said....I dunno! I can't tell if I'm WANTING the baby to come and just anxious to meet him....or if I'm instinctively feeling he's coming soon. And again I have the urge to "prepare" for him. My house is clean, but I need to charge my camera, and buy a waterproof mattress pad for the bed and such just in case....just little things that need to be done. Granted, I'm DEAD tired.....so my energy isn't great today so I'm just resting/napping instead. About the time I told hubby I felt "weird" I had three contractions back to back. They weren't painful, but definitely noticeable, and more than I've had all week. But since then...nothing.
So again I'm left wondering....are all these feelings of needing to be prepared INSTINCT or just my excitement/anticipation at wanting our little man to be here?? I wish there was some way to be sure.
I'm definitely at that large and uncomfortable phase but it seems that this last week has been physically more trying. Moreso cause he's ready to come or just cause I'm bigger...who knows. Our doc visits are brief and weekly and as of this last one there was no change in my cervix but who knows what that means...not me? We are just at that dreaded last phase waiting game portion of this show I think. Lots of WAITING...but not alot to do and not alot of ability to do it if I could! hahahah
This is probaby normal....but I can see this next two weeks being VERY SLOW and BORING if everyday is like this.

wow reading your journal gets me so excited to be in your shoes in a few months! I can't wait to hear when you will go in. Btw, do you learn in the baby classes what to bring to the hospital and such?

I can only imagine the feelings you must be having being so close and havin no idea when things are going to happen. I'm just so glad Jackson waited until he's fully incubated after all you've been through. I hope for your sake
it's instinct kicking in and your little man makes his arrival soon. Can't wait!!!

The weekend before I had Xavier (had him on a wednesday) I wanted everything ready ie. cameras and phones charged, and DH to not leave my side, I also felt really anxious about "when" it would happen - I kept saying to DH I don't care when it does happen I would just like to know what day it will be (control freak in me) - he came only a few days later. Sounds to me like you are VERY close, can't wait to hear ALL about it!

Wow, how exciting!!!! Sounds like you really are getting close. I personally think it's your instincts....they say our bodies have a way of "knowing" and wanting to do the whole nesting thing. I can't wait to hear what happens next!!! I'll be praying for you. Hang in there...he won't come until he's ready, but by the time he comes, you will wonder where the time went! Enjoy this last stage of pregnancy until he arrives....cherish it! He'll be here before you know it. Hugs!!!

You're getting so close! It's normal to be wondering and anticipating when he'll arrive. It never hurts to have things ready early, just in case! The day I went into labor (10 days early) and had a normal doctor's appt. I didn't even bring my bag because I didn't really think I was in labor! Thank goodness my in-laws stopped and got all of our stuff. He'll be in your arms soon!
