I rember thinking Today, today would be a good day. I could give birth today. OK tomorow. if not today then let it be tomorow but babys come in ther own good time. do some thing just for yourself today take a good warm bath if you can some ting YOU will enjoy. and vent anytime you want its your right.

Jeannie, so many people have had such good suggestions. I love the idea of Shane rubbing lotion on your tummy, he could feel so helpful! For me, with my 2nd pregnancy, my biggest problem was the anxiety of the impending labour. I was downright scared because I knew what to expect and so I was very short-tempered with my poor little DS. But when I realized what I was doing, I made sure to try to find little things we could do together. And of course the lack of sleep and total gigantic-ness of my body didn't help matters.

Just rest as much as possible and Skylar will be here soon!

Jeannie, PLEASE vent anytime! We are here for you, always!

The only thing I can think of to add would be to pass along something my sister told me as she was waiting for her second child's birth (since I have personally not had this experience). She decided to make the last few days very special with her first child, knowing that things would never quite be the same between the two of them once the second one arrived. Not sure of what she did exactly, but I bet you could come up with something very special.

Hope this helps, and remember, we are here for you!

<font color="blue">Wow, you guys are just amazing Your thoughfulness is just wonderful, just knowing you all care and understand helps more than words can express.

Joseph is home today as is Shane (they cancelled school due to the snow) so I'm going to take a nice bath - they feel so great, it's the only place everything doesn't hurt - put the labels on the envelopes for Skylar's announcements and just all around take it easy - while Joseph and Shane go out and play in the snow Just knowing I could do this today when I went to bed last night was a big help.

I'm going to take all of your wonderful advice and hopefully these next days/weeks will pass faster. Unfortunately, we don't have a recliner (sounds like a PERFECT solution to the sleep problem), but I do have a tv pillow that I think I'll give a try in bed tonite.

Thank you my friends, much love and lots of hugs to you all

JEANNIE, I HOPE THAT THINGS GO SMOOTHLY YOUR LAST WEEKS. I WANT TO SECOND THE IDEA OF MAKING YOUR SON SHANE FEEL EXTRA SPECIAL. BEFORE MY DS#2 WAS BORN I WOULD DO LOTS OF STUFF WITH DS#1, HE WAS 19 MONTHS AT THE TIME AND LOVED GOING TO THE PARK, BURGER KING (LOVE THOSE INDOOR PLAYPLACES THE END OF AUG), OR WE WOULD STAY IN OUR PJ ALL DAY AND WATCH ALL THE BLUES CLUES, DISNEY VIDEOS OR CARTOONS THAT HE WANTED, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY THIS INVOVLED LOTS OF THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE. I AM EXTREMELY GRATFUL FOR THIS TIME I HAD WITH JUST HIM, HIS BROTHER CAME 2 WEEKS EARLY THEN SPENT 5 DAYS IN NICU AND 2 MONTHS WORTH OF DR APPTS AT THE LOCAL CHILDRENS HOSPITAL, BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO SETTLE INTO A GOOD ROUTINE.

SO MAKE A BAG OF POPCORN AND WATCH A DISNEY MOVIE (OR WHAT EVER HE LIKES) CURLED ON THE COUCH, UNDER A BLANKET.

GOOD LUCK,
PAM

Hope this are getting better.

I know how you are feeling. Alli was 9 days late and that was torture. At least with Eli I had my c-section scheduled so I knew it would be over on a certain day even if I had surgery to fear. I did the open backed sneakers too, just so I wouldn't have to bend over. Baths are really nice aren't they? I always read a good book in the bath. It's so hard when you want to do things (like spend time with Shane) and you just don't have the energy to do it. I loved to swim when I was huge, it helped me feel weightless and my hips etc. didn't hurt either. Maybe a trip to the indoor pool? I'm sure Shane would enjoy that. Hugs for you guys, it's almost over.

Whew - so many caring, thoughtful ideas!! I don't have too much to add other than keep your chin up. Just keep telling yourself you're OK and you can do it - what an awesome achievement!!!

Best of luck to you in delivery, also. I wish you a quick birth and a sleeping baby.

Take Care. . . .
