The baby has dropped and is all lined up! I lost a bit (quite a bit) of mucous plug Monday morning but nothing streaked and nothing since then. My bp is up a bit which could be an early sign of labor. And I had two contractions this morning that were uncomfortable enough they woke me up but nothing since I've been up and around. Sooo.. all that to say it *could* be soon, like days OR it *could* still be weeks, LOL.

ETA.. forgot to mention.. I was measuring 38 last week and measured the same this week which is consistent with the baby dropping. So I'm still guessing I'm closer to 39 weeks then 37. ;)

Wow! Well, for me, Ashlee... baby didn't drop until the *day* before labor. I went in for a non-stress test, and she told me baby was well engaged, and I had a few pathetic contractions on the monitor, but no "labor". Sure enough... that next evening was when I went into labor. Hoping it's soon for you doll! I know how exciting it is to see all those "signs"! :)

I know Jen! I was pretty sure the baby had dropped but when the mw confirmed that I was totally stoked! Thats a pretty good sign to me that labor will be coming on SOON! I mean Brooke dropped like 3 weeks prior to birth but thats pretty typical for a first pg. With all my others the baby didn't drop until I was IN labor! So I'm pretty excited right now, just trying not to get my hopes up too high. ;)

Thats awesome, Ashlee! Sounds like you were right all along about being further along than your EDD was? Can't wait to find out if you are having a boy or girl, in the meantime will be praying for your labor and delivery!

Thanks ladies.

I started to get sooo excited yesterday! I had 4 significant contractions 15 minutes apart! (I say significant because I get braxton hicks alll day long but these were stronger then the norm). But they didn't keep up.. I was bummed out. I really hope this isn't going to drag out for weeks! I'm usually not that impatient about when the baby comes but I'm soooo anxious this time! I want to meet this little guy/gal now!!!
