4 Days and Waiting

Well, no Sam yet. He was due Friday, but apparently he is very comfy right where he is. Friday through Sunday I was having a good amount of contractions but it decided to stop as of yesterday. So, we sent the parents home and are playing the waiting game.
I am now officially on Maternity Leave, so I was thinking about getting out the sewing machine to keep myself entertained. At least the weather is beautiful.
I am going to call the acupuncturist to see if he can help induce labor. Maybe Sam will be with us before the weekend. I would really like that!
Here are some pregnancy pictures for your entertainment!

2) Beautiful 4th picture. Glad you have good weather and some projects in mind to keep the wait from being more frustrating. Sam sounds like Driggs--happy where he is. :)

4) I'm kind of hoping to share a birthday with my new nephew but I know you don't want to wait that long :)
P.S.- Call Allyson..she left me a message wanting some news but didn't want to bother you. Since she is home most of the time she might be great company for you! She probably has massage therapy tricks too.

7) Spotted that, huh, Haley?

Hope you're having a good day, S&J. We had an easy trip, except when we stopped for gas we had a hard time finding any! WTF?

8) I did ... I have mine and I always wondered about what happens with that during pregnancy.

Now I know :).

Hope all goes smooth sailing with the babe!!

9) Sarah - Alyson came by today and brought some lunch goodies! She also did research for me on different things I can do to naturally induce - very helpful!
Hayley - yup the piercing area just gets a little stretched out. I wonder what it will look like when it goes back to normal?
Today has been nice and relaxing - except when I tried to walk - lots of sharp pain. No real contractions though. This little boy is COMFY!
M&D - glad you are home!
Niki - I think Sam was waiting for you guys to come back to NC!
Thanks everybody for thinking of us!

12) Hi Sarah!
It was great to get these photos!! We are so excited for you and Jason as you wait for Sam to arrive!! These are exciting days!! What will his whole name be? He is one lucky little fella to have such great parents and grandparents, family, friends, etc....and this, of course, includes his pets!!
I have already been shopping for Sam so he needs to get here so he can get some presents!!
Love you and we are thinking of you,
AJ and UW

15) I love the name! Good luck trying to bring on labor...that never worked for me - my cherubs would've spent their lives in my belly had no one went in after 'em! HA!!

17) Hang in there Ser! You can do it. I'll be coming home on Friday night from a business trip, please wait til I get back to make any babies. Don't forget to turn on the web cam!

18) Checked my phone at 2am, 4 am, 6 am and now at 7...no news. I don't think I'm gonna sleep till Sam is here.

19) Sorry Sarah! No dag-gone action yet! As each day goes on I feel more and more like I will just be pregnant forever. I am learning that not much happens in the middle of the night - all of the action is right before I go to bed, then I lay down and it stops. So - try and get some sleep! I am!
I've been trying to have conversations with Sam - talking him into joining us soon. Not so sure that is working!
Let's try this - EVERYBODY send messages to Sam and tell him to get here SOON! - Sorry Den - you can't tell him to wait until Friday!

20) "all of the action is right before I go to bed"... that's what she said.

22) Sarah I am so excited for you and Jason - I called my Sarah yesterday and asked her for an update. The greatest love of your life is about to arrive! Charlotte is sending Sam an invitation to come out and meet her!

24) I changed my mind - thinking about doing some screen printing. I will have to search the attic for the supplies.
Thanks Laurie! Hopefully Charlotte and Sam can meet soon!

25) Dear Sam,

Come on out, son, a lot of people are waiting to meet you! Being late is not the cutest first impression. (Then again, neither is crying or pooping on your mama, but we'd prefer that over nothing at all!) Here's how it works: next time you feel that gentle squeeze all around you, GO TO THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your mom and dad are AWESOME and they have lots of fun stuff planned for you to do out here! So come on, little man!

Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Leah   Wednesday, September 24, 2008
