How do people cope with the anticipation and uncertainty of when the baby will arrive?!!? Haha, I am the type who likes to shake Christmas presents to work out what's in them...once I know I can quite happily leave them for the day to open them. This waiting for bubs to come out is hard work...I want to meet him now...

Over the last 1.5 weeks I've had period type cramps, he's dropped lower into my pelvis (had his head down since week 20), very strong/stabbing pains in my pelvis, what I thought was the 'show' but must be just extra 'mucus' etc...all those things the doctor said are 'pre-labour' symptoms and can last anywhere from hours to weeks before he'll come out.

But I've also noticed that he is moving around a LOT more this last week than he has in a while...not big movements but more like rolls or turns and he is 'kicking' a LOT!!! I thought he was supposed to slow down in his movements as he got bigger/the due date got closer... I don't think he knows that just yet...

Anyway, no real questions...I am just hanging for him to come out and meet the world... I wish I knew how to hurry him along.
