I'm in my 20's!
Well, yes I'm in my 20's. I'm 24, but what I meant is that I've got less than 30 days til I have this baby, and since I'm measuring a week ahead, let's just say less than 23 for fun. My next appt. is on Monday. I will not have been for 2 weeks, so I am really happy to go see if I'm still measuring big, even bigger, or just right on track. In the next couple weeks I'll probably talk to them about the chances of me going early. I just don't want Phoenix getting too big. I would love to deliver in 2 1/2 weeks, 38 weeks along. I wonder if they'll check my cervix...anyway Phoenix has been moving much less lately. He used to be crazy, but my magazines and newsletters say that the baby just gets too big to move hardly at all in the last month or so, I'm not worried. I feel him enough to know he's alright, AND he has the hiccups so much that I feel bad for the poor kid. You know they say they don't bother the babies so I don't feel bad, and I like it, it's cute, but boy does he get them a lot!! I never felt them with Marcelus. I'll definately post an update on the pregnancy on Monday after my appt.

Yeah the two oldest never got the hiccups but then levi did all the time. It was weird having something new- I thought I had felt it all! vd
that is so funny-Harry also had the hiccups soooo much! probably 4-5 times a day on average! I thought it felt awesome.
I sure hope that things go faster this time for you. I don't want you to have an 8 lbs. baby...or bigger. Be sure to ask about having your membranes stripped. That always helped me move along faster.
I don't think he will be 8 pounds, but these last 4 weeks of growth, you never know! I got really big really fast towards the end last time but still Marce was only 7 pounds. I'm measuring a week ahead this time though. I heard stripping membranes really hurts, and I'm kind of a wimp about being checked, I think it pretty much hurts, but my mom had that done a few times...
If you don't like getting checked, you will NOT like getting your membranes stripped.
Be careful about "assuming"you will deliver by a certain date... my first 3 kids came early and dr. with #4 promised I'd go 2-3 weeks early, so when I was 38 weeks I was already thinking I was over due! I begged and pleaded to get induced and good thing I did... #4 was born 10 days early (induced) and was 8 lbs. 11 oz... Yikes! What a shock that was - especially considering how small my body frame is!
Oh, I'm not assuming, just hoping. If I'm measuring big of course I'm going to want to go early, I don't want a bigger baby.
I don't think I want my membranes stripped, unless I get really really desperate...
