Countdown to Devon's Birth

No, my wife has not given birth to my son yet.

Update for today/yesterday.

Yesterday, we helped Roses' sister move in. My wife did alot of walking. I'd say roughly 5 miles worth. After we had loaded up/unloaded the truck at the new house, we were relaxing when my wife started having contractions. They are about an hour to an hour and a half apart as of now. They also only last for about 15-20 seconds. Usually at this stage, it can take between a few hours to a few weeks. I'm praying for the few hours lmao. We'll see how today goes. If she suddenly goes into labor, I'll be sure to have DevAce come and let you guys know. Then as soon as I get home, pictures will be added. BTW, Thank you for sticky'n this. I feel even more privileged. First, appearances for my wedding and now this! You guys know how to show members you appreciate them being members. Thank you.

Wow mate, your wife is pretty active. Most pregnant women would be on bed rest, but as long as she isn't being stressed out then everything is fine I'd assume. I can't wait to see the pictures of Devon, keep us posted!

I don't know of the Devon you are talking about, but if he died in Iraq (and was a soldier), he has my utmost respect. We chose the name Devon Joseph-Durland MacFarland. Devon = A name I've always wanted for my son since I was old enough to want kids lol. Joseph = Mine, my fathers', and Roses' grandfathers' middle name. Durland = Roses' grandfathers' first name. MacFarland = Our last name (kinda obv lmao). We specifically chose Roses' grandfather over all other family members for the following reason. When Roses' grandfather passed away, that same night in the hospital, Roses' mother looked at her and said she was having a boy. The next day, Rose got sick so we went to the doctors and found out we were having a child. A few months later, we found out it was a boy. Kinda creepy eh? xD

Lmao, nah he was a HUGE troll on this forum several years ago, he made up stories about being in iraq and then being hunted by the FBI (claimed they raided his house with weapons drawn and held his family at gunpoint or something lol).
 
Dev +in. Well, still no progress as of yet, at least no visible progress. My mother in law keeps saying December 3rd keeps repeating in her head (The same lady who "knew" we were pregnant with a boy before we knew we were having a child.). We're hoping the doctor on Wednesday will say she's 3-5 cm and send her to the hospital but, till then it's a waiting game :( The waiting game is killing me!!!!!!
 
Well... still no action yet. I read last night on 4 different "medical" websites that eating pineapples (fresh, not canned) could help it along. So I ran to the grocery store, literally running lmao, and bought 2 of them. Well... that was a load of ****, and there goes $5 that I could have used for something more resourceful hehe. Oh well, she was craving pineapples anyways so it was a nice surprise for her. Anyone have any tips on how to further it along? We've tried the walking, the sex, the pineapples, the spicy food, hell even the nipple stimulation. NOTHINGS WORKING!!!!!!! I guess I'll change the rules to this thread now to, I'll keep it updated if any pains/contractions occur. Until then, I won't post every day with an update so that I'm not "spamming".

Dont worry its not spamming! We all care for you here. I cant believe your about to become dad. Last thing i remember was you getting married lol. Congratulations man!
 
Well, we just got back from our doctor appointment. It seems that despite going on a 3 hour walk today, and a 1 1/2 hour walk the past 6 days, we have made no progress. She is still 1 cm dilated and the cervix is still 50% soft. The only reassurance the doctor could give us was that most people at 38 weeks aren't as far along as she is. My wife seems to be taking it really hard. She's disappointed and I think she might be blaming herself because all of us were hoping she would be 3 cm dilated today. I'm going to go spend time with her and try to make her feel better. That's my update for today. :(
