I hate to burst your bubble, Princess, but you were 2 weeks later than your due date and your brother was headed that way, but the doc induced me because he was going out of town. So your brother was actually only 1 week later than his due date. If it's a hereditary thing, then prepare yourself... Mom
My personal theory on late babies is those who have had more time to "bake in the oven" have better developed systems, so they cry less. I just totally made that up, but it makes sense to me. Alison was 3 days past due date and Andrew was 10 days before. He was absolutely the fussier crier of the two.
Yes, Mother, I am aware of this, which is why I'm so adamant about getting induced. I have no intention of waiting one second past her due date, and I know that if I do in fact wait, she'll be late. The longer she's in there, the bigger she will get...I want a little baby to come out of me!I saw what those Pitchford genes do w/Jennifer's baby, and I don't want to play that game!
Julia, if that's true, then I'll be okay. TJ was a week early, and he didn't fuss hardly at all.
Jillian, I read about the nipple thing...ain't gonna happen! I can barely handle it when the wind blows (while under a shirt in a bra!) they hurt so much anymore!
I got some crochets hooks here if you need some...LOL
Girl that baby will come when she is good and ready. But I know you are ready to start holding her and hugging her and then on those days where she cries and keeps you up at night and never lets you get a goods night sleep again, then thats when you will be saying put her back in so I can get some sleep. J/K. I will keep the 7th in my prayers for you. I pray that she does come early for you. So you have a midwife? That's so cool. I wish we had them here.
You crack me up! When I was around the 38/39 week mark with both my babies I was DYING for them to come early.
Now I "know better" and am more than happy to wait. Bigger babies are generally more settled babies, and they DON'T hurt more to push out, despite what some people think. (My son was 17 days late and 10lb 6oz, and my daughter was 5 days late and 10lb 10oz - easiest 90 minute labour EVER!)
I hope you had fun today :) it seems like you made the rounds and talked a lot. see , you fit right in!!! tj was precious. i got a good pic of him standing NEAR the water. hahah.
