Looks like my mom was right, I will be having an August baby. I could've sworn we'd be welcoming Baby G into the world last night - especially after Patrick woke me up at midnight to tell me he had dropped his cell phone in the toilet and couldn't get it to work. I was certain that would be the perfect time for the contractions to start and us be on our way to the hospital. He would've been flipping out. Luckily, the phone dried out overnight and has been working ok since so he should be able to send text messages letting everyone know when it finally is go time.
In the meantime, we're trying to keep busy to keep our minds off of the long awaited arrival of Baby G. We have lots of long walks, dinners out, and nights of scrabble planned for this week.
As always, we'll make sure to keep you posted of any progress. And if anyone has any tips on how to help baby G find his/her way out a little faster, they'd be greatly appreciated :)
Here's a pic of me and Baby G from yesterday - the actual due date. It's pretty clear Baby G is still content right where he/she is...doesn't look like any moves have been made to come on down yet. Fingers crossed that changes sometime this week!

Baby Grenks will be here tomorrow :) I feel it! Pregnancy sure does look good on you Er! You look amazing! Can't wait for the text!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried sitting and rocking or rotating your hips in a circle on a yoga or exercise ball? That seems to help open the pelvis bones
ReplyDeleteLove You!
We're very disappointed that Baby G will not be sharing a birthday with Jerry Garcia, but we'll get over it. Cmon baby Grenko! Has Patrick been yelling that at your belly yet?
ReplyDeleteLove the blog Erika!! Hang in there! Olivia was 8 days late... I know how anxious you must be! Hope you are feeling good!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I think I've tried everything to get this labor started at this point. I'm convinced nothing works. Guess baby G will come when he/she is good and ready. I am still feeling good though so I really can't complain.
ReplyDeleteLauren, you're the 3rd person today that told me they were 8 days late. I think it's a sign :)
And Leigh, send Sauter my condolences. I'm sure he was really hoping for the Jerry Garcia bday :)
I finally figured out how to comment :) I agree with Jenn, you look amazing!! And there is an ending in sight. Hang in there, I have a feeling it may be sooner than later!! Love ya :)
ReplyDeleteYay Ri! I'm so glad you figured it out! It took me 5 or 6 times before I finally figured out how to comment and I still can't do it on my work computer for some reason. Anyway, I hope your feelings are right! :) Can't wait till we have news for you guys. Love ya!
