Good morning everyone, just getting us started :)

Nothing new here, just sitting at my work desk. Hoping i dont get called in to court today...really dont feel like doing that..

Hope everyone is doing well!
 
Hey girlies!
Just checking on you and saying HI! I have been busy with classes, studying and activities for dd. Sound like you are all doing good. I don't think Im preg... my boobs are wicked sore and Im kind of crampy (been that way for a week now)..I will let you know if there is a miracle and I actually am!
I will try and check on you after class today.
 
Kate I meant to mention that DD cried just about every day of the first grade and like Gina had a wonderful day at school. I tried everything!!!! It does pass though..even if it took my dd a year!
 
Hi ladies,
Jen--Hope you don't have to go to court today!! Do you think you'll still order the PB stuff? I get emails from them all the time with sales. Make sure you get on their email list. I think you should order something you love. If you're planning on having more than one child, it will pay for itself. ;)

Susan--Hope school is going well! I'm hoping that you are indeed preggo. My boobs hurt and I was crampy for several days with all of my pregnancies. It felt SO much like PMS. When can you test?

Hi to everyone else!!!
---------
I had pretty painful BH last night, but the pain was low down in my pelvis. This morning, there is a lot of pressure down there almost like my pelvis is widening (I know that sounds odd). Maybe his head is just settling down. We'll find out tomorrow if I've progressed. I didn't realize that 37 weeks is full-term, and I'm a little over 36 weeks, so if he comes early, that will be OK, I think. Henry's fever spiked yesterday at 102.7. I had to cycle his Motrin with Tylenol, and I got it down. He was running around the house and playing by bedtime. This a.m. he has no fever, so I'm hoping this bug is over with! Fever since Sunday! Poor thing. I'm keeping him home from preschool because he hasn't been fever-free for 24 hours. Anyway, hope everyone has a wonderful day. Supposed to rain here today. I need to fold many clothes and do some housework. Yuck. Maybe I'll do some baking too. :)
 
Stephanie, do you feel all primed and ready? Wow. It seems like your pregnancy has gone by so fast (easier for ME to say, right).

Jen, why do you hate court? And does PB mean peanut butter? YUK! I HATE peanut butter...maybe you say my post in open forum,...I"m pretty much all alone on this aversion.

Yesterday I did Kickbox Xtreme. LOVE that workout. I weighed in at 134--which is my low-end for my 5'8" framed body. Many of my clothes are getting loose---I'm not trying to lose weight anymore. I feel like I"m pretty close to my "normal" self...without appetite & still not sleeping well (both symptoms of depression). We'll give it more time and see what happens.

I think my AF finally left, after close to 14 days! When I worked in town Tuesday I had my first comment, "Oh yeah! Your pregnant! When's your baby due again?" Ouch. And another lady, "How are you feeling?"...from a complete stranger. Ackward. I also got my first "American Baby" magazine in the mail that I subscribed to when pg. All these things seem to be getting in the way of my healing....but I can't live in a bubble, right?

Oh my, I didn't want to sound like a downer. Things are really awesome here. I hope you ladies have a great day. I'll check back later. :)
 
Hello everyone!

I really need today to catch up on some things. Getting behind:(

Hope everyone has a good day - I'll try to get back later.

Candra, Turns out I do get tested for Group B - next visit. Oh well! At least I didn't have to do the glucose test!:cool:
 
Wow speaking of nursery bedding, my friend just told me to check out baby depot (burlington) because they have a TON.
i am now in love with a bedding set called Snug as a Bug lol. Its so adorable. I dont know what their quality is like tho . HEre it is:

i also like birdsong, its definately girly, and is a cheaper version of the pottery barn one, but since the gender is a suprise its out of the question
http://www.burlingtoncoatfactory.com/IWCatSectionView.process?Section_Id=46619&lc=bc

man i really want to know the gender! itd make it so much easier my dh is going ot think im nuts with all these nursery things i change my mind on!!!

Melanie - PB means pottery barn i found a cute set (expensive) that i posted yesterday and was debating on lol. But when i see pb, i think peanut butter as well
 
JenM, I wouldn't be able to stand not knowing. Cute bedding!!! Good luck!!:)

Susan, Glad all is well. KUP on AF.

Melanie, Sorry for the pg reminders while you're out and about - it must be really hard. ((((hugs)))) I miss feeling skinny!!!! Sorry about Justin, btw - hope it gets easier.

Stephanie, Your bod's gettin' ready to birth that boy!!! Too exciting! I'm jealous! I want to see our girlie soooo bad! Then she can go back for the next month. I'm just dying to know what she looks like!:D I hope Henry's fever issue settles itself before labor day. That's the last thing you want to deal with/worry about in labor or pp.

-----------
Midwife went well y'day. They gave me the list of everyhitng I might need/want while we're there. Avg. stay after the birth is 4-6 hours!!!!!:eek: Wish me luck! I can't wait for DDs to see her!
 
Hiiiiiiii ladies!!!!!!

Jen ~ I'm like Kate and can't wait on the gender. I don't think I could have not known with DS...... "IT" was so obvious.

Susan ~ I am hoping for pregnancy and not PMS.

Stephanie ~ Glad Henry is feeling better. I hate it when my kids are sick. It sounds like your baby and body are getting ready for the big event.

Melanie ~ Happy to see you back! I am sorry about AF long visit and all the pregnancy reminders. ((((HUGS))))

Kate ~ Wow, 4-6 hours.

I had my first PN visit last week but not much to report. It was CBE, pap, & pelvic. Oh, and labs. My uterus is retroflexed so I have to get a little further along to hear the FHR. My next visit is the 30th. My nausea and fatigue are still hanging on but I do have some good days, like today. If I wasn't so tired, my ridiculous libido would be fun. :p;) I haven't worked out for a couple of weeks but may give it a try today.

TTYL!

Thanks, Kate. The comments are to be expected. Great job on your walk. Have you given up on stepping? Don't be envious of the weight loss, I"m sure much of it was grief...I'll probably start gaining some of it back soon....did I mention I shared a whole pizza with my little boys for lunch? Bad girl!!!

I think I will try ASC3 today...or a Netflix rental. I never know for sure until I am actually in front of my t.v. with my sports bra on & my fitness shoes. Anyone else do that? I have trouble committing to a particular workout. I like to do intervals twice a week, abs twice a week, a step, a kickbox, and a circuit. I"m not very good about circuit though (b/c I hate weight work).

Anywho...I best get to work!!!! Jory has his first homecoming football game tonight...I'm so excited!...oh dear, did I mention that already?@??@!!

You are not a bad girl for eating pizza.....as I sit here eating a second slice. :) Melanie, I plan rotations but rarely complete them. :eek:

Oh, I hope Jory has a great time tonight!!!

Autumn, This little stinker was hiding for us to hear the HB as well! I got a little concerned about it but all was well. If it weren't for me being so HUGE I'd be enjoying my libido, but alas, as Stephanie said, incontinent whale sex.... haha! Sorry about the nausea, it will be over soon! It just seems so long when you're going thru it!

Melanie, I've not *totally* given up on stepping but it bothers my RL's so I have to be really careful an dmodify like crazy. I'm kind of the opposeite with WO style - I have to have it in my head the day before to get my head into it. Have fun at the game tongiht!!

Whale sex..... up that sums up late pregnancy sex. I carried DD (1st baby) really low and sex was the last thing I was considering. The last few weeks of that pregnancy I was +2 to +3 station...... here is a visual explaining station for anyone interested and unfamiliar with L&D lingo.

I keep reminding myself the nausea will pass.
 
Hi Autumn! I'm still soooooo happy for you. :) Are you beginning to feel better? I"m ovulating today...so I"m anxious to have DH get home so I can start prancing around....flirting...and acting all silly.... Ahhhhhhh, I love him so much!
Well off to workout....I wonder what it'll be?....I'll post tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be cardio.
 
Melanie ~ You are so sweet! Unfortunately, I will worry until I hear the baby cry..... oh then it will be worrying about SIDS. Sometimes I wish I wasn't a nurse. I'm blowing baby dust your way! Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Kate ~ I am 8+ weeks.
