My EDD going by my cycle was may 5th...well, I had the 13 week u/s scan which put my due date at May 2nd which really isn't much difference at all. Even an OB or CNM would have most likely just kept the original EDD of May 5th but I guess wishful thinking came into play and I took the EDD given by the u/s. Now u/s's are accurate for me as far as being very close to when baby comes so by the u/s I do know that my cycle due date of may 5th is right on and not weeks off so that gives me reassurance and I also know that as I am pretty confident of when I became pg, etc..
So today i was thinking I was already 5 days late and starting to get all upset when I am more like 2 days late today..
I may try some natural things to bring labor on next week if baby hasn't arrived as then I would be beyond my normal but feel silly for setting myself up for this roller coaster! Live and learn I guess.. :)

awww (((hugs))) it's always those moments of realization for me that set me at ease and then my body starts into labor not to long after that. Hope that is the case for you!

Praying for you! I too go on that roller coaster, but for the opposite reason. I tend to start labor early so I always question all the changes and signs of approaching true labor for several weeks leading up to the birth!

broke down tonight crying..
had a lot of babies and never gone this late
am having to fight worry..
don't understand why baby isn't coming..
we did try some castor oil and nothing..
dh thinks I felt about a 5 yesterday when he checked but I am thinking if so the castor oil would have done something..
Going this long would be no worry if it wasn't beyond my normal..
This pg has been a battle for me keeping a good attitude and dealing with pain, the enemy has come against me with fear still hanging around after my m/c in march 2009, etc..
Guess I am not doing so well now at this point.. made it this far though.. :(

(((Jewel)))) Does baby feel like it's a good size? Do you think the baby is ready to come?
Baby is a big baby..I have big babies.. :)
I guess baby will come when ready..so maybe since he/she hasn't come baby needs to bake a bit longer.. :)

I'm praying for you. We know G-d doesn't want you to be fearful. It won't be long now. Perhaps "normal" has changed for you. <<hugs>>
Yes, I suppose it has.. :)

This is my pg blog post from today..
Well, I have news!
I thought I was losing mucous plug on Saturday morning but by 11am I didn't see anymore or any yesterday so I just wrote it off as nothing...
Well, this morning I lost more mucous plug..quite a bit more and am sure that is what it was Saturday also..
As this is only the 3rd time this has happened to me I don't know exactly when baby ahava will arrive but going by last time and knowing I have effaced and dilated some already I am guessing(hoping) for this week sometime.
I prayed asking Elohim for some sort of sign that things were happening and labor was coming. Last night while my dh comforted me as I cried I told him that I prayed for a sign but Elohim had given me nothing...yes, open mouth insert foot! Am I the only one this happens too? Speaking too soon and then the L-rd comes through and answers your prayer??
So now I know there is really at some point going to be a lovely little precious bundle arriving!!!
This scripture the L-rd gave me and I say it to myself over and over...
"The One who has called you is Faithful...He will do it!!"
I know there may come more moments or days where I have to once again go to the L-rd and seek His face and give Him my impatience but He is faithful and He is there available to me every time I need Him. I am thankful!
