I'm On The Last "Baby" On My Ticker!

This is one of the tickers I have on my signature in the Mommie's Club board I belong to and I just noticed this morning that I am FINALLY on the last baby in the ticker! Wow.

I can't quite explain why I'm so excited about the silly ticker being at the end, but I am. All the other Mom's get excited too about their tickers moving or advancing and now that mine is at the end, I'm all giddy about it.

I know, it's silly...but I'm pregnant so I'm allowed some silliness.

Speaking of all things baby related, a lot of the mom's in the mommies club are already dropping their babies. Some had due dates of the first part of January who've delivered during the last few days and we've had about 4 or 5 premmies as well who are doing remarkably well. I think almost all of our premmies are home as a matter of fact. I think anyhow. We've still got Mom's like me who are due towards the middle/later part of Jan and others who are due at the very end of Jan who could either go later or earlier.

As far as me, I am inclined to believe we might be on the earlier side of things. Just lots of little signs that she's hunkering down and getting read to say hello! My Braxton Hicks Contractions are pretty regular now and that's something my OB wants to watch closely as contractions of any sort increase the risk of a uterine rupture in my case. I'm also feeling a lot of pressure in the general region. And this is not the same kind of pressure as before, from a few weeks ago. This is different, it's as if there is an urgency to it. Can't think of any better way to explain it. And I've yet got a few other tell-tale signs that I'm getting close. But hopefully we'll make it through December and into at least the first week in January. I'd really really like my own OB to deliver Gidget and she doesn't get back from her own maternity leave until the first week in January.

Hang in there Gidge....not much longer now.
