My bad... the other box was in the medicine cabinet in the other bathroom... LOL... thought I was loosing my mind!!! Thanks for the guidance.

I'm going to call our bmom later this evening, I'm not sure what time her appointment is tomorrow. I'll update everyone as soon as I find out when we're having a baby!!

Yay! I can't wait to hear.

Any news yet? Our checkup is tomorrow afternoon. I'm sorta hoping (with a full moon and all)that maybe we won't make it until then. lol Really, I don't do all that moon stuff but anything sounds good when it's this close.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing with the moon, I'm normally not into any of that!! LOL. I should have an update tomorrow.

The moon thing isn't a woo woo thing at all It is the gravitational pull on the earth and for some reason it sends women who are close into labor. Ask and L&D nurse and they will tell you they are crazy busy on/around the full moon.
Here's hoping you both here something very soon.

The moon didn't work, and right now our birthmom is having a panic attack and won't get out of bed. She didn't go to her doctors appointment, she is terrified to get out of bed and have another placenta abruption, she won't even pee, she is in tears and is really worrying me. I think she is doubting her decision somewhat too. I've always said I think she is a wonderful woman and mother, and while I'd be sad for myself, I'd be excited for her, and I still mean that. I'm just so worried about her, she seems to be in a really bad place. I just want to go pick her up and make it all better... I don't knwo what to do. When I hung up with her she was going to call her pastor.

Calling her pastor is a good idea - I personally believe in prayer and will be praying for all 3 of ya - Birth mom, babe, and yourself.

Sis had her checkup - she looks so so so tired. She doesn't sleep for more then an hour at a time. We are going to the hospital Friday morning at 6 am. Woohoo!!! And they said she can take 2 Tylenol Pm to help her sleep - she got excited at that idea (the one of maybe possibly sleeping)- and I gave her a bottle of them to take home with her. I also talked her into leaving 3 of her 4 boys with me until she comes back for the induction on Friday. So at least (maybe) her next few days will be a little less stressful. (I don't know about mine though - maybe I'll take a couple of tylenol pm's myself. lol)
BTW, I asked the girls at the ob office about the full moon and they said it definitely makes a difference

Kimberlee Jo, Yea how exciting that your baby will be here on Friday.
Mommy2three, have you heard anything more?

I talked to her in mid-afternoon... she missed the call wtih her pastor, she was hoping he would call back. She is really paranoid about having another abruption, she went all day without going pee, afraid to see blood in there. I can't say as I blame her, I've survived an abruption, and it was a big reason we moved to adoption. She was unconsious for 3 days, was in rough shape. Anyway, I left her a message at 8pm, but I she might have already been in bed, she's been going early lately. Her apt was rescheduled for 8am tomorrow (Tues) morning. Hopefully we get a date at the very least, but I'm really hoping they just deliver her. There really isn't any reason to keep this going.

I asked her if maybe she was this upset because she is having second thoughts, and she assured me she is not, she is terrified of dying.

Not going pee is not good for her at all. She just needs to tell the doctor to deliver her. SH e shouldn't have to suffer like this.

I know ... I am hoping she is honest with the dr tomorrow and it gets done. Of course I'm excited to see our daughter, but at the same time I can't stand seeing her like this... crying on the phone...I just feel awful for her..

mommy2three,
Have you heard anything yet this morning?
Kim

Yes and no, lol. Turns out it was a med student who said she had to have a c-sec, which is why the actual dr hasn't scheduled it yet, she doesn't need one. Which is nice, I am glad she doesn't have to go through that. Also means we can go 2 more weeks until her official due date comes... sigh...

So did that help to calm her some?
Will you get to be there during the birth?

Wow! What an answer to prayer!! I know the wait may be a bit longer but it also means a better chance at a fully developed, healthy baby. Congrats and I hope the time passes very quickly for you cause I sure can say the last week has gone by so very very s l o w l y for me. Does she have another appt for next week?

She goes to the dr 2x a week.

Yes, my hubby and I both get to be there during the birth, she made us promise not to stare at her nether regions, but is happy to have us there, lol.

I'm very relieved that she doesn't have to have a c-sec... of course I'm feeling impatient, LOL, but it will be worth it in the end. And, this way we get to be present for the birth. She said Nick can cut the cord (all of our bio births were emergency situations so we have had 3 and he has yet to cut a cord), so he is excited.

My milk is doing great, I won't need the SNS at all to start I don't think. Hopefully she builds up my supply so I won't need it at all, that would be so great !! I am refusing to allow bottles into my house, my girlfriend was going to get me some and I told her no, LOL. I don't want the temptation, when (if) things get frustrating and upsetting, I want to hang in there this time. With my eldest, turning 6 in Aug, I went 6 months, but the last 2 months were a battle. I had SO much milk with her, I would overflow full size bottles. But, I got pregnant when she was 4 months old... I guess that changes the taste or something??? not sure, but I battled until she was 6 months old then I don't know who was crying louder, but I dug up one of those free "samples" of formula that come in the mail, never nursed her again. THen with my youngest I only did it about 4 months, he was preemie and so sleepy... every day it was a battle to get him to eat. Then, I couldn't get a drop with the pump, and didn't think he was getting any, then my nipples bled, which freaked me out and I quit right then and went to another of those free "samples". So, this time I'm not allowing any free samples or anything to serve them in into my house! LOL

Yes, she is much more calm today, a complete turn around. She's really doing great. She would like the baby to stay in her room, and for us to be there to take care of her. She told me she thinks its great I'm nursing, and told me I could start in the hospital, I don't know if I will really get the chance that soon or not, I'm not getting my hopes up for it.

Yes, this is many many prayers answered.
