(Well, it's always an *event* right?)<br /><br />I need to get your giftie in the mail, too. I'm almost done with it!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183354814224320009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659480877314850787.post-72909835232240647112011-04-19T08:19:25.071-05:002011-04-19T08:19:25.071-05:00I was dialated some with each child, but, of cours...I was dialated some with each child, but, of course, I made it to my scheduled c section dates; with David, it was an "emergency" one at 34 wks, with the other two at 38 and 39 wks. So, dialating can mean only a short wait or maybe a long slow wait. But it definitely means progress is happening! Things are gearing up. Before you know it you will have your little girl in your arms! <br /> And yipes! I have a little something to send you for Little Miss and I need to get it sent out so it arrives before she does! :PSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659480877314850787.post-70403186146945771192011-04-18T21:48:50.770-05:002011-04-18T21:48:50.770-05:00I can't believe you are so far already! I know...I can't believe you are so far already! I know you are ready, but I always try to treasure those last days of feeling the baby inside you. And though there is nothing that compares with holding your newborn in your arms, I have to say they are much easier to take care of while in the womb. <br /><br />I was 2 cm for about 3 weeks before Maria was born. I laboured for about 20 hours before I even got to 5. With Henry, I was 2 cm at 41 weeks but didn't get checked before that. I got to 5cm before labour actually started to hurt, so that was cool. <br /><br />Hang in there! She'll be here soon. Praying for you.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659480877314850787.post-20089676679064277722011-04-18T20:16:20.351-05:002011-04-18T20:16:20.351-05:00I know it's SO hard to wait, especially with y...I know it's SO hard to wait, especially with your first. I was 1 cm a month before my first was born, 2 cm the next week, 3 the next...you get the idea. I was 5 cm when I went in to be induced a week past my due date. So, I kept progressing, but it was verrrry slow. ;) If I had it to do again, I wouldn't have been induced. With my second, I was nothing, and four days later she was born (also a week late, not induced, and a much better labor). <br /><br />Remember that normal is 37-42 weeks. First time mamas usually go a bit longer. Stay strong!Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959242204818975269noreply@blogger.com
