Yesterday I went to the doctor, he checked how far everything is moving along with my pregnancy. Well, I am 1 centimeter dilated, my cervix is 75% effaced and the doctor said I should be having him within the next two weeks!! Phew, that made things so much more real for us. I'm scared to go into labor but I know there's an angel waiting to be held by us. The doctor said it should be a fast delivery-I hope so. Julian Elijah should be making his appearance soon! We did a lot yesterday (the reason for my absence and I will write about it all in another post). Have you gotten any exciting news lately?

That is very exciting friend. Julian will be here very shortly then and I hope you have an easy quick labor. I imagine it will be for you. No news here which to me is good news. Just waiting to win the powerball is all lolz

@LovingMyBabies Yes I imagine you are nervous, but somehow friend, I feel you will have a very easy time of it. Julian will go easy on you. He is a special little fellow.

I imagine that you are excited, but I am sure you are also a bit nervous. I believe it's not funny to go into labor.

@LadyDuck Very excited but also very nervous too. It's been a long time since I delivered and we don't have our own place right now either which scares me too.

I hope that your labor and delivery goes smoothly. I like the name that you picked for the baby, as that is such a pretty name. I hope he is a healthy and happy baby. You don't have to wait to much longer for your little boy to be born. I am sure that you are getting anxious to have him, and I don't blame you.

@LovingMyBabies I bet you are. I had my kids realtively fast, as I was never in labor all that long, and that is a good thing, as I was glad to get it over, as it hurt so bad, that it got hard for me to take it after awhile. When I had my kids they didn't have epidurals, so I just had to bear the pain. I am glad everything worked out though, and I have two great kids.

@rosekiss Thank you, I hope so too. It was the only name my husband and I could agree on! I pray for a healthy baby and a safe labor for us both. I am getting anxious and nervous.

@Morleyhunt He's actually due on Feb. 3rd but the doctor said there's no way he will last until then! The doctor said if I make it until the 25th of this month he would be surprised. Thank you, I will definitely be letting everyone here know after he's born. =)

@LovingMyBabies my first was 11 days early. Each one after that was 7 days or more late. I threatened to write a book, The Tenth Month.....good luck, can't wait to hear that your little one has arrived.

Hopefully, everything goes well for you guys, whenever it happens. I'll admit I was a little more scared when I was in labour with my son. I think it's normal to be a little scared, worried, nervous, whatever. I'm sure it will all go well for you guys.

Hang it - they never come when they are supposed to! I guess it's like riding a bike, once you did it you'll remember what to do!

@Abbygreenhill Yeah I know! He wasn't due until Feb. 3rd but the doctor said he will be coming way before that. I am only nervous this time because it has been 7 years since I last gave birth.

Squeal.......... A baby? Really? How cool is that? I am slightly envious and a whole lot happy for you and your upcoming new addition to the family. Hope the delivery go smoothly. I would love to hear from the baby and mommy that they are all happy and healthy when all is said and done. Good Luck and Best wishes!!

@LovingMyBabies Its normal to be nervous a little. Just take some calming breathes and have a ton of happy thoughts. You will do fine. It is said that a woman is re-born when she has her child. So, you will soon be celebrating your re-birth with your little one.

So one of these days we will come here and find a birth announcement, how cool. Getting a lot done or wanting to do a lot was always called "nesting."

Thats good news! At least you have an idea when to expect for your new baby. The exciting news I've got is that my article is in for the contest. I never expected it will be reconsidered.
