Q: 39 Weeks Today!

So I am 39 weeks today! Smile

I would post some belly pics but I left my camera in mil's car last weekend and havent got it back yet! Hopefully I can get it next week!

Only problem is I am now torn in two (not literally!) As I have said loads, its Aydans birthday on Tuesday and he will be a big six! I cant bear the thought of being in hospital for his birthday. Although I am desperate to meet my new baby I could really do without labour starting untill at least tuesday evening lol! I had a c-section with Aydan and although I am going for my 2nd vbac, I know there is more chance of me needing a c-section this time (last time they kept me in hospital for 5 days after!!)
So everyone hold back on the labour dust, and give me lots of *labour delay dust* instead Wink

Oh my...you are getting really close.

My best friend had her 2nd 3 days after her son's birthday, and she was two weeks early. She was having the same feelings as you. She didn't do much for his birthday, because she could hardly move. I would just suggest trying to do something small for his birthday and then once you feel a little better then you can have a big bash for him.

***DELAY DELAY***

Thats what we are doing, every year he has a big party, but I couldnt plan anything this year with the baby being due so close, I didnt know where I would be.
He has been promised a big halloween party instead with all his friends and after baby is born we are treating him to a special day, he wants to go bowling!
Tuesday will just be a quiet day with family coming over with presents e.t.c. I have brought some party poppers and hats etc so we can have our own little party! Just hope I am here! Smile
