I've been watching (well, scoffing at) TLC and Discovery Health's hours of baby-themed television this morning. It's such crap - all revved up for dramatic effect. I know that's all those shows are, but it's still shocking to see them play out sometimes. If I see one more whispered hallway interview about the dire circumstances a laboring mother is about to be rescued from... I simply can't imagine what women did before we had access to C-sections at every turn! Blech. It's certainly reinforced my desire to stay home as long as I can.
More contractions today but still nothing regular. The baby is moving around a ton (probably because I'm not) and I can't believe how huge he or she feels in there!

i still cant believe how close you are, it seems like you got your bfp just yesterday!
hope you feel better soon, you do NOT need to have a cold in the middle of labor! :D
Oh my goodness-- I refrain from peeking in on you for just a few days and see what happens?! All this news!!
Best wishes getting over your cold!

Wow, it really is just days untl your little one is here. Wonderful! I hope your cold subsides very quickly, and I'm sending you all kinds of healing energy.
OK my one bit of advice for this stage of pregnancy. Get it in your head that you will likely go over 40 weeks. PLEASE
40 weeks is the average, meaning just as many have to go over and under. First time babies usually go over unless induced.
At the end it is hard, the waiting, the contractions for weeks on end making one think it is going to happen every night. This is normal but very hard. When you convince yourself it will happen before 40 during this time it can be a real mindfuck, I know I did it and I went 42 weeks.
I just don't want you making yourself crazy is all.
Much love and rest!!!
OH and I got sick at the end too, I know many women who have, not sure why but it is miserable.
