Mel - I hope that you the 2.5hr Dr. works out well for you. 5 hrs would be rough. So glad that you hubby has gotten the cribs done for you, even if he still has some making up work to do.
Jen - I was laughing about your DH not smiling b/c mine is the opposite. In all of his baseball pics growing up, he would be the only boy with a big grin on his face. Maybe if he will not kiss your belly you could get a pic with his face close to it.
Dawn - Hooray for being almost finished! I hope the swelling does not indicate anything bad. My thumbs have been really sore in the mornings, but not terribly swollen.
My Dr. yesterday told me that I am doing great. My weight, health, and everything else looks good. I guess she knew I needed a boost.

I wanted to share with you this funny comment one of my blunt co-workers said to me, "Melanie, are your boobs getting bigger...or just your belly?". 
I had to tear the tag off my bra to prove to her I was a size "D".......I guess that tells you how big my belly is. I've gone from 34B to 38D!!!!!!! YIKES
Jen, I just had to share after seeing so many people comment about your big boobs on facebook. LOL Your belly will get bigger than your boobs, prepare!!! LOL
Allison? You still playing with us?

Melanie- The cribs look great! I haven't checked FB yet so I didn't know that people were commenting on my boobs. Nice! Oh well...I should enjoy the comments (good and bad) while I have them.
I feel like I grew overnight. I know my belly is poking out more and I cannot catch a breath today to save my life. This is the most uncomfortable I have felt (belly wise) this whole pregnancy. Welcome to the 8th month!

Susan, you didn't get stretch marks then?.......I gave up with my first pregnancy b/c I religiously rubbed Vitamin E oil on my belly 5 times a day & STILL got mega stretch marks.
Morning!
I hope everyone is feeling good today. Not a lot of sleep here, but I will push through the day.
Melanie-I havent gotten any at all on my belly, but have some on my breasts from developing as a teen. Maybe I have extra stretchable skin on my belly. They say how fast you put on weight is a factor too. Do you work today?
Not much planned here. Studying and a walk is all so far.
Hi to all the mommies to be!

Susan, enjoy your quiet day.
I'm off to work! I work today & tomorrow. I feel good right now, my bp was down last night 125/70!! So I'm staying positive that these next two days will fly by. I"m pretty sure I'm the only pharmacist scheduled for today and tomorrow......so I"m going to need some extra "power dust".
I'll check on you guys before I got to bed tonight......want to see how all the babies are progressing!!!
Waves to all!

Susan- Your belly looks great! I haven't gotten any stretch marks (yet) either but I agree with how fast you put on the weight and everyone is different. Who knows? I may explode these last few weeks!
Melanie- Sending you all my power dust! You will FLY through these two days. What good news about your BP!
I slept so good last night and didn't even take Tylenol. I felt so big and uncomfortable yesterday that I thought for sure that I wouldn't sleep good but feel pretty good today. DH is almost done renovating the w/o room so we can start putting the house back in order this weekend. As DH says, "We will have a couple weeks of clean organized house before the baby shower stuff gets here." I love that he likes a clean house too!
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

Morning
Melanie-hope your work days fly by!!
Jen-yayyy on the good sleep! Doesnt it make for a better day! Thankfully, my dh likes a clean house too. I don't think I could live with a slob..I am too anal for that.
My Brx Hx are getting much stronger. Last night I had a major one and a little pain.....all of a sudden the memory of that exact pain came back..and I was like.......oh no I remember that!!! Kinda got me scared of labor! Not to scare you first time moms or anything of course! You be smart and get epidurals! I didn't have one with Haley and wont this time...mainly because of my low blood pressure. We can all do it!!!
I did LIS this morning. Im getting tired of that one, but its a fun quick workout.

Ahhhhhhhh. The mark of the weekend, ......slow posts. I was super tired at work. I started my shift 120/70 and by end of my shift was up to 140/90...so work is definitely contributing to increase in bp.....as I suspected. If I would have had an overnight back packed, I woulda hoteled it tonight, rather than drive home tonight. The moma is tired.
Susan! No more tough workouts for you. I'm serious. I don't want that baby coming too soon. How 'bout just limiting it to walking? For a week? Hmmm?
Allison? Dawn?

Wow it has been a ghost town today!
Melanie-Im sorry you are so tired. I don't see how you do it! You are a tough woman!
Nothing much happening today. Just a few normal brx hx. I still think it will be 2-3 weeks.
I promise my workouts are not tough at all. I will do some walking, promise!
Dawn-are you still with us?

Hi everyone!
I'm here. Still. I swear baby is ready. Braxton Hicks occur a bit more frequently but nothing I need to time yet, I don't think. I had terrible heartburn again last night. Just could not get comfortable in any position. It's gone now so maybe that was false labor? Some back pain, some light swelling in the hands. Other than that, we wait.
Everyone take care of yourselves and those babies to be!

Morning!
Dawn, what about pressure? When you have a contraction do you have vaginal pressure? You are getting close girly! Sorry you didnt sleep well. Have you been able to go on walks. Maybe that will get that girl moving a little.
I acutally slept pretty good. I needed it! Haley has cheer pictures at 9 then the ballgame is a 10:30 so we'll be gone until after lunch. Not sure what we're doing this afternoon. Tomorrow we're going to the a movie I think.
I'll check back in a bit.

Good morning everyone! Slept good except woke up earl when DH got home (615am). Oh well, hopefully will get a nap later. Off to get hair done and then pose for pics for the lady that did my belly cast. She asked if I would let her take some pics to update her website so I said sure.
Melanie- Sorry you had to drive back home. Hopefully not much longer til you are out of work. A friend of mine who is 40, her dr is probably taking her out of work because of her swelling (shes 38 weeks).
Susan- Sounds like you have a busy day planned! Have fun with Haley!
Dawn- Everytime I see you post, I am hoping you are telling us your LO is on the way!
