Oh!!!! Kate didn't start us today!! You know what that means!!!!!!

Slept in today (no workout). I have pretty much given up on Monday w/o's. It's way to hard to get up!

I"m off to work, just wanted to "check in". I have Tue & Wed off---so it's so easy to go to work today, knowing I'll have two days off. :D

BBL.
 
Oh yeah baby...Julia must be here!
Melanie-have a great day. I know youre looking forward to your time off!
Hi to everyone!!!
I will bbl to check in.
 
Aww I bet she is here!!

Melanie~2 days off sounds good to me!

Morning Susan!

Gotta get the kids up and ready and on the bus. Hubby is off today and tomorrow. He's fishing right now,but should be home by noon and then the plan is to get some things done around here. Should be a productive day!
 
Good morning ladies,

Oh Yeah Kate!!!! Hope you are holding Julia in your arms right now!!!!

My workout will be S&H Legs and Abs today. I am tired this morning, we had to take care of some things last night, because I think it's my time right now, so keep you fingers crossed.

I'll be back later, gotta get some coffee
Kristine :)
 
Hi All, Remember me? :) Its been a while since I checked in. I've been out of town for my early baby shower that mom threw me. I was just catching up on posts...

Jen - congrats on your new addition, welcome little aidan!
Kate - I sure hope Julia is here now, i was reading about your labor posts. I hope she arrived and that you are getting your rest!

Good morning to everyone else.
My shower was great, my mom made this really awesome diaper cake and diaper wreath decorated with a bunch of baby goodies. she also hand painted a noah's ark wood hanging (tat was my original theme). She is so talented, i call her martha stewart. We also decorated a cake, a crybaby lol, and made cupcake rattles. She bought me way too many gifts - lots of cute little outfits, blankets, wash clothes, bath towels, a monitor, a frame and various other thigs like bottles, nipples, teethers, socks, bibs etc. We got a good amount of clothing for the most part and a couple gift cards.
I'l still need to purchase some big ticket items like a changing table, bassinet, and swing so i'm trying to figure out how to go about that.

did you guys get a lot of newborn sized clothing? I think i oly have one or two peices and a handful of 0-3. hard to figure out since they go by pounds and i have no idea how much baby is going to weigh.

my mom also got me some maternity pants - black dress ones and grey dress ones for work, two tops and a pair of maternity jeans. i'm much more comfortable now.

anyway, enough about me, just thought i'd pop in and say hello. all these wonderful new additions!!
 
Welcome back Jen! So glad you had a nice shower! Its so fun getting stuff.
Trish are you feeling better?
Still no af. I might test today. For the 2nd night in a row I woke up about midinight feeling crampy and icky. I have never ever done this before now. I tested on Sat and got a neg..so I better just wait and see for now. I even used the test that can detect
"5days before af is due" so Im really thinking I am just late.
I hope Kate has a wonderful birth!
 
Jen~I have found that the pounds really don't help much at all. I think a few in newborn size is okay,b ut LEAVE THE TAGS ON!! I made that mistake and Hunter was 9lb2oz and 21 1/2 long so it wasn't so much the weight as the lenght he wouldn't fit in the one pieces w/ feet in them. I had taken off the tags and washed them all. I think you are okay to wash the 0-3 stuff and I think as long as you have 5-7 outfits in that size you'll be okay. I have found they stay in the 3-6 longer since they can start wearing it before they really really fit them. For most of mine it was more like 2 months or just before when they were in the 3-6.

As for the items you still need.. have you checked craigslist for your area or if you go to www.yahoo.com and go to groups (it'll be on the left side) then you can type in your city or the closest bigger city and put freecycle.. you just might find someone getting rid of one and all you have to do is pick it up. You can also place ads on these sites that you are looking for the following items.

Kristine~coffee sounds SO good right about now.. ahh might have to make a cup for myself or have DH get me one.

Susan~do you know how many dpo you are?
 
Is dpo days past ovulation? Nope have no idea. All I know is 28 days was yeterday. Im not very technical..haha
 
Looks like I"m going have today off too.

I hit a deer on the way to work & totalled our car (at least I think I totalled it).

Sometimes I think I have the worst luck!!! I'm not hurt at all & amazed that the airbag didn't go off.

Well, I"m off to look for another car...
 
Hi girls!

I just got home from taking the boys to school and saw Kate's post! I am so excited for her.

Susan-I'm hoping you are pg!!

Melanie-sorry about the car:( My sil totaled her car when she hit a deer.

JenM-welcome back glad your shower went well! My last baby was 10p 9oz so he never wore newborn clothes or diapers. I would just leave the tags on.

Jen-congrats on baby Aidan:D How is big brother doing?

Stephanie-Charlie is adorable!! I love his black hair.

Well today I have a doctor appt. He will strip my membranes again so hopefully that will get something started. I have been having contractions all weekend but nothing that sticks.

Candra
 
Candra~ouch that hurts.. I hope it jump starts something for you. It's no fun having contractions that do nothing or fizzle out.
 
Trish-are you going to have your c/s fri? Or is it still Monday? I'm really hoping this baby comes Thurs or Fri:D

Candra
 
hello all :)
sorry to not post again last night. I meant to post the recipe but got a throbbing headache and went to bed. I found it online! so I don't even need to type it out. Its a MUST try.

Pasta Roll-ups with Turkey and Spinach
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=276408

You could easily make it like regular lasagna but I actually like the "roll-ups". ;) I buy an organic can of tomatoes that are very tasty. Can't remember the brand right off.... but they also make fire roasted tomatoes in a can I use to make salsa for DH.

Kate- I hope you have your baby!!

Hope everyone else is doing well. Melanie that is scarey about the deer. I am glad your ok!
oh I "think" this is the tomato brand.. it looks like it. http://www.muirglen.com/

Hi everyone!
Melanie how did car shopping go?
I did test this morning..bfn..but still no af. Maybe its menopause:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I have class tonight..NOT looking forward to sitting for 4+hours!!!
 
The car was confirmed totalled. :( Oh well, at least noone was hurt (except the deer).

We don't have any dealerships up here in these parts....so I've been searching craigslist, carsoup...internet. We probably won't be able to get a car for a week or longer. Until then, I will need to take the minivan to work & DH will be "stuck" at the house until I get home at 8pm. That's going to rough for him & our 14 yr old who likes to be driven all over the place!

Today I did Amy bento Hi/low cardio knockout. It was a great workout to clear my mind.

Susan, when is your AF due? Are you late? Sorry about BFN. :( I was really hoping this was your month. :( {hugs}{hugs}

Trish, are you all ready?

Where's Lisa been?

Welcome back, Jen

Hello to everyone else!
 
Melanie - Sorry about the car. That stinks. I'm here. Mostly lurking and not posting much. Just busy with trying to get things done at work and trying to get the house ready for baby, but it's been hard with having to take care of my two kiddos at the same time also. Hope you caught the eggie this month. Any feelings one way or the other? Have you heard from Morris? I wonder how she's doing.

Candra/Trish - I guess it's a race between the two of you now! I'm 37 weeks today, but have no feeling of it being soon. I was only 1 cm on Friday and my cervix is still really thick. Not much BH ctrx either. Candra, hope the stripping helps.

Hi everyone else!!

Lisa
 
Wow Lisa. I cannot believe you are so far along. I"m a little envious, thinking of you, and Morris....we were the ones in the "original TTC" club.... Of course I'm estatic for you guys... just feeling sorry for myself. :p:p I'll get over it. ;)

Actually Autumn & Anne were with us too. I wonder how Anne is doing? Maybe I"ll post her an e-mail!
