That is so cute what Kostas said about the tub! Hopefully he's on to something and you will get your "oops" in the tub birth. Glad your hubby is around. We had the same thing with my last birth- DH arrived when I was just past 38 weeks. We really wanted the baby to come sooner than later, except DH was like, "but it would be ok if the baby waited a few days so I can just relax a little!"

Too funny about your DH wanting to relax some first! Men!

Glad to hear that everything in lining up great!!! Not too much longer!

Kostas is such a cutie! I love love love that picture of him kissing your belly. How sweet that he is ready for you to have your oops water birth too. It sounds like you are all ready to go at this point. How exciting!!!

Not too much to report right now. Went to dinner at my Grandma's last night which was really fun

When I'm slowed down enough to be paying attention I'm having mild pressure waves every 9-10 minutes. They aren't really very noticeable except for the pressure they create but I'm hoping that its moving things along

Love the picture of Kostas kissing your tummy! I'm rooting for you to have a water birth too! Just stay in there until it's too late. Then be like Oops.

Even though it's minimal at this point, just remember that everything you feel/that your body does brings you one step closer to meeting this LO.

Went to the store with my mom a bit ago and got some Raspberry Leaf tea, which I've been meaning to do for a couple weeks, and some fresh pineapple because it sounds good and it can't hurt LOL. My mom was saying that I look like I've dropped in the last day too. I can't really tell but I believe her because all the sudden my tank tops have a big gap between them and my pants LOL

That's how I'm looking at it! That all the little stuff really does matter and make a difference. It feels very reassuring!

I am just glad you are having the most wonderful time while you wait . This will leave such a positive memory for you for the rest of your life- also Kostas is old enough to remember this, what a great gift to him!

Sounds like things are moving along well! If your shirts are suddenly not long enough, I'd say that's a good indicator that things have dropped.

Can you link to the video you showed Kostas of the waterbirth? I have been looking for a good one for Kenton, he's really been asking about the body and babies (his friend's mom is having a baby around Christmas), but so far I haven't found one that feels right to show him.

I would love to see the waterbirth video too. I might want to show it to DS. He's been very interested in my labor. He keeps begging me to come to the birth center, but I don't think I want anyone else there but DH.

Did the tea leaf make you feel any different? I have been taking the capsules since I hit 37 weeks. The first day that I took them I seriously felt crampy all afternoon for some reason. Not sure if it was actually from the tea leaf or not, but I just thought it was interesting.
