Happy Friday !  TGIF !

[dreamreacher]

Hello everyone.. I had a very disruptive night last night with weird dreams and was up three times with BAD gas!  LOl  I am very exhausted this morning and have a lot to do today and the next two days.  My temp went up a little from yesterday and the cramping has stopped. I still have what I consider to be light flow today. Sooo.. I guess it's cd2 and on we go. I'm calling my endocronologist this morning to set things in motion for an I.U.I this cycle.  Please pray for  me that all will work out this cycle.  I'll keep you all posted.

Good morning everyone!!
Welp went to the doctor yesterday for my 37th week checkup. I just knew that I would be dilated or starting to thin out or something, because I had been having cramps like you would have when you start your period. The doctor said I was almost dilated to 1, I kinda laughed & told him, that was almost not worth telling. I go back on the 23rd and he has plans to put me in on the 30th if I've not had him before.
Needless to say I was a little disappointed. My DH keeps telling me that he bets I have him next weekend because I'm so hell bent on not being in the hospital on Christmas. I'll take him whenever he decides he's ready, I just don't want DD disappointed if Christmas ends up being a little different...

Happy Friday to you too! I had my 10w ultrasound yesterday, and saw that beautiful little peanut. Heart rate of 167! This is so reassuring, after having had a mc. New due date of July 12-my best friend is due July 10. The funniest part is that our first kids (both girls) were born 2 weeks apart! Must be something in the water....
Thanks to all for your support. Now I feel like I can really relax a little more any enjoy the pregnancy.
Sticky baby dust to everyone!

Have a good weekend everyone.  I will be leaving for Kentucky tonight to visit my grandmother.  All of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are suprising her with an early Christmas dinner.  My grandpa died last year and she is starting to get more and more sick everyday. 6 or 7 months before my grandpa died her mother died too.

robin-
didn't you say yesterday that af showed up at like 2:00pm yesterday??  if so then according to my RE TODAY is actually considered day 1 of your cycle....they go by the first FULL day of flow.  just thought you might want to know that.

manman-
don't feel bad or discouraged at least you are 37 weeks (which is term...my best friend went in for her appointment (i beleive she was 38 or 39 weeks) and wasn't dialated at all...2 days later she didn't feel good..she thought it had nothing to do with the baby just flat out didn't feel good.  that night her water broke and by the time they got to the hospital (30 min away) she was dilated to a 7 and 100% soooooooo. things CAN happen quickly.

ALL-
well i go for my 37 week appointment today....yes i know that my appointments got messed up some how and i am only 36 weeks and 4 days but it is consiidered my 37 weeks appointment.
anyway...i woke up this morning feeling weird.  when i tried to roll over i felt like something was spreading my insides...you know down low in the girl parts.  anyway i just held still for a minute and relaxed.  we'll see what the doc says today.

Hi Everyone
Hope all is well.  I am finally in my second trimester and starting to fell much better.  I will be four months next Tuesday and I have started to feel movement what a feeling.  This is our third child and feeling the baby move for the first time what a GREAT feeling.  I am finally running out of cloths  but not quite ready for maturnity cloths I probably will be ready in a matter of a couple weeks though.  I do have a question that I can't seem to fiqure out on my own and trust me I have tried it all.  Maybe someone has a suggestion for me.  I loaned my maturnity cloths to my sister obviously I asked for them back, well when I got them back they smelled so musty that I couldn't believe it.  As I started to go through the bin of cloths I started to find mold on some of the cloths also.  So I went to the store and bought some color safe bleach ( since the cloths are mostly colored ) that did work really well on the mold stains but I haven't had much luck with the musty oder though, I have washed the cloths so many times I have lost count.  If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.  I am willing to try anything.

Post as soon as you can on what the doc says, didn't you say that at your last appointment you were already dilated. You never know you could have your little soon.

Have you tried white vinegar? just add it in with your detergent,maybe half a cup full,and it gets rid of any funky smells. I got a helois book for x mas a few years back,with lots of home remedies~ have a great weekend~

i probably won't post about my appointment until tomorrow, simply because my appointment isn't until 4pm and i live on the west coast.  
but yes at my last appointment i was dilated to a 2....so we'll see.  
if you don't see anything tomorrow....it may be a sign :).

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
Everyone keeps telling me to go walk around the mall and then go home and have sex. Well I'd like to know who would feel like having sex after you've walked around all day and you feel swollen all over..
I'll check the site tomarrow and see what's going on with you.
Take Care,
Mandy
