So, here the update from my blog on yesterday. Still no baby grrrrr!!!!!

Saturday rolled around and at 6 am I got up and the contractions started back again. I start timing and waiting for Ken to get up. Finally around 10 am I told Ken lets go walking. The contractions started to pick up. I was hurting pretty good by the time we got back to the house. For lunch we met my parents, the kids, and Auntie Chur-Chur for lunch . We had lunch and headed for Zilker Park for the kids to play. After a train ride, some play scape time, a visit to the Austin Nature Center I was worn out, but still contracting consistently and had been since lunch. We had an early dinner around 5 and ran a few errands and everything was looking good contraction wise. They were still coming 5-7 minutes apart. So, my plan was go get home, shower, and hang out. If they continued after I got into bed I was going to call l&D. Well, as soon as we got home and I got a shower and the kids were bathe I think I passed out at 8:30. I was totally worn out!! Had several contractions that woke me up last night, but nothing to send me off to l&d. So, as of yet no baby this weekend. Kaden told me yesterday that there is really no baby in my tummy....I've just eaten too much. I am starting to wonder if he is really right:-) Oh well, we will see what today brings. So far, just a few inconsistent contractions and cramping.

I really hope the full moon helps you out!!

I tried walking, bouncing and even squats yesterday with no luck. I have some back pain right now but I don't know if it's baby related or from the exercise yesterday My plan is to clean the house one last time and relax as much as possible!

Hope your contractions pick back up today

Man I so remember feeling like that. I was so convinced Mackenzie was coming early I made DH come up a week early and then the little stinker was a week late.....its crazy frustrating when you get contractions but they just do not amount to anything yet.

Good luck I hope things happen very soon for you!!!

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!! I needed to hear it. I know it is silly, but I've just been feeling down today and so ready to meet this little girl. I think it's a control issue....I have no control over when she is going to come and it's driving me nuts. Since I'm vbacing I know if she has not arrived by 41 weeks I will be repeating a c/s and since I had a VBAC last time I know what I will be missing out on if I have to go down the c/s road. I know that will probably no happen and I will not make it till 41 weeks and I'm sure I will eventually go on my own, but the though just scares the heck out of me. Like they say so close, but yet at times I feel like her arrival is so far way. Thanks for lifting my spirits!!

your only almost 39 weeks. She has got to come before 41 weeks. So, dont worry about a csection! Why cant they induce you rather than csection, i mean if you dont need or want it?!?!?

__________________

The reason why they won't induce me is due to having a prior c-section. The contractions with pit or other medicinal inductions are supposedly stronger, which would put me at a greater risk of having a uterine rupture due to having a prior c/s. However, I am going to ask on Tues if they would they would actually break my water if I enough progress and etc or if that is out of the question too. I just know if my water were to break I would not have any issues birthing this baby or so I think:-) I did not have to cross this issue last time with my vbac because my water broke on it's own. So, I guess if I make it till Tues we will see what they say:-)

I hope those contractions pick up and you get some real progress going! *fingers crossed*

Hoping she decides to make her appearance soon! I was shocked that my guy showed when he did, so maybe she just wants to give you a little suspense
