Any update? Did Drew decide to make an appearance early?? Was hoping to see an update this morning!

Morning Liz. Sorry I didn't update last night - I was exhausted - no Drew though!

I didn't end up going to L&D but I did call my doctor who had me come in. I went in and he did an exam. He said that I was thinning but that I'm still fully intact and nothing seems to be unusual. He told me that Drew was probably having a hard time lightening, which happens and can cause extreme amounts of pain. He told me if it continued throughout the night and/or today to call him again.

I went home and put my feet up to relax. I had a couple jolts of pain from the LO moving and then I passed out. I slept alll night (didn't even get up to pee, which is nuts, because lately I've been getting up 4-5 a night.) I woke up this morning and the pain isn't there. There is still a lot of pressure but no where near the amount I had yesterday. Although I'm starting to get the backaches - which I can't stand because I haven't had them since I was 300lbs.

My doctors office called to see how I was and said that Drew probably made his way into the birthing canal and that it shouldn't be long now.

So hopefully he will be here soon! But thanks so much for wondering about us! You're too sweet!

"Drew was probably having a hard time lightening"

What does this mean?

"Drew was probably having a hard time lightening" means either he couldn't get into the birth canal properly or he was not comfortable.

Oh, ok. Even tho I've had a baby (who just turned 9 years old yesterday),  I never heard that term before.

Hope things are better now :)

I can't believe it either, I'm still stunned.
