Hey everyone.I could use some support.We are only 4 days overdue,but it feels like 2 weeks or more.Ive checked my messages,cell phone ,email,just waiting for the call.Okay this may sound crazy to some of you,but my friend said there are more babies born during a full moon,which we will have this weekend/Monday.Is this true??Did any of you deliver during the full moon.It sounds crazy to me but we are made up of 90% water so maybe there is some crazy effect??Just want this baby soon!!!Maybe this weekend.Interested to hear your stories!!!!
Stacie matched October 2003
Baby due MArch 29 2004
It would be cool if Brooklynn was born Sunday cause her birthdate would be 4-4-04.Mine is 7-2-72.I always liked that cause it was so easy to remeber.Im just glad she wasnt born on April Fools day.Happy Birthday!April fool's!!!!haha

Be careful, April Fools isn't over yet.
My daughter was a week overdue. It was awful, wondering what was going on. We had a very close relationship with the bparents, but that week none of us could stand talking to each other.It was too tense waiting for the other shoe to drop. My sw then said there was some clinical evidence that pbmoms went overdue more than the general population. Maybe something to do with enjoying as much time as possible with their baby. The baby will come, enjoy sleeping through the night now.

I know this waiting must seem like torture! Maybe the baby is waiting for the 4th. :-)
I remember waiting for the call and I didn't want to leave my house. I was so afraid I would miss the call.

Stacie...Sorry the baby is torturing you!!! She will be here before you know it..The funny thing is both my kids were born on their due dates... I have heard of babies being born alot on full moons?? I will be praying that you won't have to go all weekend to hear something..

Hope you have a good weekend while waiting...

I was thinking about yesterday and wondering how things were going. I looked on the board but didnt see any new news. I have heard that more babies are born on a full moon. My dd was 2 weeks overdue and they still had to induce me. She is 7 years old now and I think she would still be in there if left up to her . Your little one will be here before you know it. Think of this time like a very long Christmas Eve. I am so excited for you. I cant wait to her your good news that your little one is safe in your arms.

As a new birth mom, believe me.. the wait for your birthmom is just as torturous!

I have a fantastic relationship with my son's adoptive parents. But those last few weeks were torture for us all. Being in two states, our doctor 2 hours away, and wanting to orchestrate a "home" birth, we all ended up in a hotel two weeks before the due date. With my other children (I have four) the last two weeks before term, I was often told to "cool it" to ensure we'd have a perfect and full-term delivery (I have a history of pre-term labor). In my last two previous pregnancies, my oldest daughter delivered on her due date with two weeks of bed rest prior, and the youngest daughter delivered 4 days early with a week of bed rest. Imagine the insanity as we watched the due date pass with this guy .... especially when we heard from 38 weeks on there was no way we'd make it to the due date!

There was some anxiety that I felt on my part. The adoptive parents were not doing anything at all to make me feel that way directly, it was by all our choice to stay together, it just was overwhelming feeling like everyone was waiting for me to "do something". And believe me! If there was a wise tale about how to get labor started .... I tried it!! LOL

We had bets all over the place (check out expectnet.com) on weight and time and date, all trying to keep a sense of humor. At one appointment (months earlier) my midwife predicted that we'd have a baby on the 8th or 9th, cause of the full moon. As the weeks passed in February, and the first due date of March 4th came and went... then the next of March 7th, I think we were all beginning to believe I would become the first woman to stay pregnant forever!

Zachary arrived 7:37am on March 8th. Full moon? Bumpy road?? Pizza hut hot wings?? Who knows But like his mom said in an email a few weeks later .... "Wow, I can't believe a week has already passed since we saw you last. I guess baby time is like warp speed compared to non-baby time."

Hang in there, and let us know when you have your bundle!!

Just to let you know stacy, thinking of you over here. My friend who is also due is also late now! I will have to tell her about the full moon thing and maybe give her some hope!

Good luck,
Can't wait to hear from you.

Still no baby.Im sooo emotional,lots of tears and moods{and that is soooo not me!Ive never been a moody person and I dont cry very easily!!!}
Im just feeling stressed cause I havent talked to the social worker in a couple of days and she hadnt talked to P for a few days.Im sure nothing has changed, but just the pain of not knowing and not hearing any word in a few days has me a little concerned.I dont mind the wait, its just I'm consumed with wonder as to why I havent recieved an udpate by now. ** was supposed to be induced if she hadnt gone into labor by Monday{1 week over},but I havent heard anything.
Say a prayer for us.God is in control!!!!

[heikkila]

Try not to panic. Our son's birthmom was 18 days overdue (and it wasn't a miscalculation.) His due date was June 28 and he was born July 16. That wait was stressful on everyone.

Try not to worry; I know that's hard to do when nothing in the situation is under your control right now. You will need all your strength and composure over the next few weeks so try to relax the best you can and get some rest.

Stacie...I replied to your post on Stacy's journal. I know the wait is hard but I know things will be ok. Just pray that God will give you peace about it. I am sure it's hard not to hear from you SW. I am sure if she heard something she would of emailed or called you. Just hang in there. You will be getting that call soon and you will be on your way to see the baby..

I said a prayer for you.. I am sorry that you have been crying. Your just getting nervous because you haven't heard anything but I do feel everything is ok...

Hugs and prayers,

Cathy

Stacie,

Jim was born on the full moon last month. We thought the same thing, and the nurses confirmed it: Lots of full moon babies.

I was rocking Jim last night (2:30 am) after he finished a bottle and noticed the light streaming in. I pray that you too will have your little one soon and that a month from now you will see the moon, full in the sky, remember how you felt today, and smile.

Hugs,

Ann

[cathy102]

Stacie,
I know it's got to be hard not to hear anything! It would be driving me to tears too. But you said it...God is in control! Trust Him, lean on Him, have faith that everything will be fine. Now I realize that's easier said than done but you can ask God for faith if you feel it is lacking.
Judy

Father in Heaven, please give Stacie an abundance of peace and faith during this time of waiting. Calm her fears and fill her heart with joy at the thought of how you are about to bless her and her family. Also please keep your hand on the expectant mother, keep her and the baby safe. Give her peace with her decision.

I pray that Stacie will get news soon!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
