Still here and still no baby...

Induction on 9/9/09... Unless she comes during the full moon on Friday or this weekend!

DH wanted her to come this week so he could get out of work. My parents and sister are here and all want her to come NOW. 

So I told DH this morning, wow, looks like she is defying us already!

He responded: No, she's being independent and operating on her own schedule, so we have to respect that.

Awwww.......

    I agree. 9-9-9 would be a great birthday!  Isn't that a lucky number or something?
     

  • that a cool date as that is my anniversary
  • babies like to make sure you know who is in charge right from the start  :)
  • So wierd that I posted something earlier but it didn't stick.

     UGH Malia I bet you are anxious to hold your little girl and actually see her beutiful face...ten fingers...ten toes. When the time does come...good luck and we're all rooting for ya!!!

  • Well 9-9-09 will be an easy date for everyone to remember, so that's cool. The waiting game must be tough. I just found out that a co-worker of mine finally delivered her baby girl...10 days late!!! Goodness, I couldn't imagine!

     

    Good Luck!

    How sweet! Maybe she is also being a little shy. 

    Only a few more days until you see her beautiful smile Big Smile

  • I can't wait to meet her either Malia!  How long are your sister/parents booked to stay for?  Will they still get a lot of time with the baby if she is born on 9/9/09 (which, I totally agree, is an awesome date)?

    At least you have a definite deadline to look forward to...  I remember my mom telling me the other day that when she had my brother, her first child, he was something like 5 weeks late!!  But that was way back in 1960, when I don't think they really did inductions and C-sections commonly at all.  I was kind of horrified.  It sounded truly miserable.

  • Hehe cute (you & YH's conversation about your baby girl defying you guys and being independent)! 9/9/09 IS a cool birthday =) Either way, lots of continued vibes your way and hoping for a healthy and smooth delivery when it comes!

  • Have you tried all of the "techniques" to help start labor? (That is, if you want her to come now)... I tried them ALL! Brooke came at 38weeks1day... I ate eggplant parmesean, ate pineapple and walked everyday. I experienced a lot of BH after having sex, that might be the one to try.. .

    Good luck with everything and hope you have a fast and safe delivery!

  • Is it weird that every day when I wake up I wonder if you've gone into labor yet?  Haha.  Come on, baby lima bean, we're all waiting on you!  I hope your family is able to stay until the 9th.

    Yeah... Went out for spicy Mexican food twice. Went out last night for spicy Indian food. Long walk on Monday. Longer walk this morning. S*x last Thursday, but none since my parents and sister have been here... The house is too full for that. Arg. We tried to on Sunday when we got home early and they weren't back but then they got HOME just as we were getting started, so we had to stop. LOL... I might have a plan to get them all out of the house tonight tho..... I was told MANGO and not pineapple, so ate that last night too... Someone else told me Raspberry tea? So, yeah, I am trying all I can... Geesh! Stubborn baby!

  • If she comes tomorrow it will be on my birthday! 9/9/09 is a super cool date. I'm so excited for you Malia. Wishing you all the best with your labor and delivery. Enjoy these last few moments alone with your hubby.  Baby lima bean will be in your arms before you know it!    

  • Good luck to you!  Hoping it all goes smoothly.. and swiftly... but mostly, safely!  Can't wait to see your happy family pics!

  • Fingers crossed that little lima bean comes very soon!
  • Sorry to jump on in, but I know a couple gals at work here ate some chocolate and the next day (BAM!) baby was here!
  • I hope she comes soon, Malia!  Smile

  • Hang in there...your DH is right!  She'll know when the time is right.  For now, just keep walking and doing what you're doing.  There are some folks who swear Castor Oil brings on labor.  If you're really desperate, you might give that a try, but PLEASE check with your doctor first.
  • I dunno....i would be torn between being anxious to meet her vs wanting the cool 9-9-9 birthdate!!! :) either way i hope she comes when she is ready and that everything goes smoothly!
  • She's waaaay to comfortable in there.  I know how you feel!  I had to be induced a week later since Ben refused to come out.   I think I was feeding him too much Dairy Queen and california rolls.  I wouldn't come out either!  Good luck Malia!!!

    Yeah... I feel the same way!!

    But in answer to Anna's question... My parents are here until Sept. 26, so they'd still see her, I just wouldn't get as much help after she comes since she is wasting time in there! And my sister flies back to SPAIN on Sept. 9. Doh! We might make her change her ticket tho.....
