37 weeks...
Sorry. I'm still here. We're all still here. Waiting.
But the waiting is almost over. I go in on Friday to be induced. Which I am not happy about. Because I do not want to be induced. Unfortunately I don't have a choice because in the last week my Obstetric Cholistasis has finally reared it's head and for M-P2's safety she needs to be out asap.
So I guess I'll be back next week. Or should I say, we'll be back next week. The four of us.
Gulp.
wishing you all the best!

I have never heard of that. But if it's unsafe for baby--then inducement it is. Sorry about that.
I *can not wait* to see this new little person!! I'll be praying for you that all goes well and no complications! xoxo.

Can't wait to meet M-P2...lots of wishes for a quick, healthy, pain-free (or as close to as possible) delivery.

Sorry you have to be induced--that's no fun--but hooray for the impending arrival!

All the very, very best, Manda. Will be thinking of you. xo

Will be thinking of all of you this week. I look forward to seeing MP-2 and finding out her name!
Maybe you could let Jim tell us all the details. His fans do like to hear from him once in a while and you'll have your hands full...
Joan (who hopes your sense of humor is still intact)

If there is one thing I know about you...you and your darling family will be just fine! (The FOUR of you) Your family is your best most creative project and that says alot because you are quite a talent.

You may not be looking forward to Friday but you know we all want to see your little bundle of joy. You'll do well I'm sure, just get into the zone and go with the contractions, it will be all worth it in the end. Looking forward to your next post.

Wow! I didn't realize you were so close already! How exciting! Best wishes and I hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

At least you won't be pregnant for much longer! Best of luck for a straightforward birth; I'm not going to say easy OR pain-free, 'cos I know better!

Wishing you all the best! I can't wait to meet the new member of the family!

Yippee! I know absolutely nothing about inducing, so all I have to say is congratulations for a successful pregnancy, and good luck on Friday - we'll all be waiting for your return and our introductions - after you've had a good rest and recovery, of course!
She'll be perfect, Manda - you've got the whole of blogland behind you.....
