July mommas ... How are we doing ??

Personally I have finally dropped   yea!!!! means Im one step closer to having this little girl .... Had an u/s on monday and she is weighing in at an estimated 6lbs 9oz.. and they are thinking that she will be anywhere b/w 8lbs-10lbs depending on when she makes her debut ...... And hopefully my midwife will check to see how things are in the dilation process .... How are the rest of you July mommas doing ??

i cant wait to get this little girl out of me! lol im gettin' bigger and bigger by the day but no dialation yet! eek! my dr checks again monday and i get an estimated weight at my u/s on wed   i can't wait to see her! I jus' wish she'd come out already! lol

ready to pop! she has dropped... i am 2 cm dialated but still only 50% effaced so i hope my cervix gets to thinning soon! i have 11 days left til due date! it is soooo damn hot outside lol i am ready for my cancer (zodiac) baby to get here already!

i am right there w/ you about the hot part! & i am so confused about effacing and dialating. So you can be dialated w/out being effaced???

yeah Im ready for this little momma to come out , shes miserable (out of room) and mom is miserable ( getting the full front of her being out of room) .... Im just hoping that the midwife will check things out , she said something at my last appointment that they hold off to start checking until 38 weeks , but when I go in Ill be really close to 37 .. so hopefully she will make an exception .....

my dr starts checking at 36 weeks, thats weird. but when she checked me she didnt say if i was or not she jus' said "im checking for dialation" and i forgot to ask. lol yesssss i feel so cramped..omg. its horrible! and she tries to move like she has room and it hurts sooo bad sometimes. lol

i thought most of the july moms were having boys guess im a loner 
i am not dialated or effaced yet and he hasent even dropped yet omg i feel like im gonna be pregnant forever

I'm soo ready to have him..

I wish I was told what his estimated weight is, but so far I'm completely in the dark about everything..

Just some fun facts for our July babies...
zodiac sign- cancer ( the crab)
birthstone - ruby
element - water
metal - silver
gemstones - moonstone and pearl
planet - the moon ( YES i am aware that is not a planet)

and this is a funny yet slightly terrifying baby astrology reading for cancer babies!

As a Water sign, the Cancer baby is likely to be more emotional than most. In a word: tears! This baby will probably cry a fair bit, so holding and touching are of paramount importance -- really anything to achieve comfort. Along these lines, this is a baby who needs to feel secure and will easily pick up any bad vibes in the household. Therefore, arguing in the presence of this child should be kept to a minimum. Family is very important to the Cancer baby, as is nurturing. As Cancer is the sign of the Mother, the elements of nurturing, family, and mood swings (think sensitivity and emotions) are highlighted. Also, because Cancer is the sign of Memory, the Cancer baby will retain memories from the past, both good and bad. This is a child who could get lost in the supermarket for two minutes and forever remember it as a sign of rejection from the mother! For this reason and others, this tot needs to be made to feel secure, especially within the family unit (family will always be more important to the Cancer baby than friends). The somewhat reticent Cancer baby will nonetheless surprise Mom and Dad by being fussy about food, so be sure to please that palate! To sum up, the Cancer baby is familial, must feel protected, and with any kind of luck, will learn to swim like a fish!

now if you are due in the last week of July your baby will be a leo so disregard above stuff lol

Nope. No dilation.

I was dilated a finger tip from 35-38 weeks
and then all of a sudden my cervix was shut again  

IDK. it sucks lol. Im very very anxious.
Hopefully I get induced on monday!
