Hoping and Praying...

that today is baby day! Little Kicker is due today, and it's Elliott's birthday, so we're hoping today is the day. We had a false alarm last night and spent many hours at the hospital. It was reassuring to hear Little Kicker's heartbeat, and it was nice to have a dry run, so O knows what to expect. O was perfect and cuddled with me on the bed and watched Noggin until we finally left at midnight. So, I'm off to walk, maybe go out for a bumpy boat ride, and bounce on the birthing ball :)

UPDATE...Thanks for all the baby dust and labor vibes. Unfortunately, today wasn't today. Maybe tomorrow :)

    Fingers are crossed, Melissa! Hope this isn't TMI, but good, old-fashioned sex did the trick for us... broke the water bag right open :)

    Oh I hope today is the day! My daughter was born on her daddy's birthday and it is such a special bond between them.

    My due date is tomorrow and we are waiting too... but no false alarms here. Wouldn't be surprised if she waited a whole 'nother week!

    Bets wishes!

    Good luck - I bet the baby is close! Walking stairs worked for me, except it was 3 weeks early so I still feel a little bad for that exertion!!! Thinking of you xx
