Our Journey to December

Thought that was appropriate.  SO.....how was your weekend???  Mine was awesome.  Took 4 tests...all BFP!  The ones yesterday were really dark so that's a good sign.  No BB pain yet.  Should I be worried?  I have cramping on and off.  Yesterday, no cramps until afternoon....could be because I mowed the grass and ran the vacuum.  DH pulled the mower cord for me so all I did was walk behind it.  Exercise right?  He was busy putting breaks on my car so I didnt want to bother him with it.

Haven't told anyone except my sister.  Waiting until Mother's Day to tell my mom.  I still am very worried and in disbelief.  

How about you?  Any news?  I know you have your appt. on Thursday.  You will have to tell me how it goes.  I know you will see a healthy little bean in there!  I just have a good feeling about all of this.  There is a reason we met.

So sorry for your cold...I can sympathize, I was sick about 2 months ago and had really bad nose bleeds...they even sent me home from work for 4 days the nose bleeds were so bad!!

Yeah, my family bought me a used glider and recovered it and the ottoman to match my nursery so I got lucky there. Bet you are so excited for that shower, I'm excited for you too!! Hope you get what you need, we did get some things we needed and have bought everything else already!

They did my internal today, I am dialated 1cm but that's not really anything exciting my doctor said...yeah right lol!! Olivia isn't in the right position, she's head down and all but not turned the way they want so I have to do some lunges and sit indian style and stuff but it's not going to be bad...as far as what happens, I pray your little one has dropped before they do that exam b/c my doctor had to dig deep and press really hard on my stomach to try and feel Olivia's head...I'm still in pain and am spotting,which she told me I probably would. I know, 4 more weeks to go!!

Your not old! I try not to plan too much because things never work out for me lol!! I am busy packing it, I have everything just haven't put it in there yet lol!! I am going to buy me a gown to wear in the hospital to breast feed.

Have fun girl and I'll write you just as soon as I can.

Hey girl.  Sorry your boss is such a nightmare.  I know that makes things just 10 times worse.  I hope all is well with you.  I have a cold which is putting me down.  I work and then come home and crash for the night.  I just hope it doesnt turn into anything worse.  

I went shopping this weekend and purchased my glider for the nursery.  My mom helped me buy it.  Those suckers are expensive.  Between the glider and the ottoman I have $700 in it.  It better rock that baby to sleep on its own each night for that price.  My shower is the 13th of November so it should be helpful with things we need.  How is your nursery coming?  I must admit ours is still empty.  

I am glad that you are dropping and things are starting to take position.  Have you had an internal yet?  I am really eager to know what that is like.  I am relying on you to fill me in on what they do during those appointments.  It is still hard for me to believe that you are down to one month maybe even less.  

Had my 30th birthday on Thursday.  Hard to believe I am that old already.  I always thought I would have been a mom long before I turned 30.  Guess things don't always happen how you plan.  We should both know that lesson very well.  DO you have your hospital bag packed yet?  I am going to start shopping for mine next week.  I want to get a new toothbrush. paste, etc. so I dont have to worry about packing those things up later.  I was told to put a couple of Jason's T-Shirts in the bag too so I can put them on while I am in early labor cuz you are not aloud to wear anything under them.  I would rather wear one of his t's than that silly gown that they have in the hospital.

Well girl.  Going to watch the Steelers game.  I will talk to you this week hopefully.  Take care of yourself.

Hey, so so sorry...mean witch at work...so fed up with that place!! Anyways my shower went great, between the shower and our trip to babies r us I now have everything I need for little Olivia to come home!! Cain is really ready, he keeps talking about her coming two weeks early! I hope so!

I would be scared to go to have to have my little one at 29 weeks!! So glad I'm way past that now!

Your shower is coming up, bet your excited! I'm excited for you, hope you get all kinds of good stuff! I did!!

No crazy symptoms! But the way Olivia is positioned it almost looks like I'm dropping...Cain pointed it out but I haven't dropped yet.

Well girl, wish I had more to tell, but it's been pretty quiet over here!

Anything new over there?

Here we are...another week.  I am starting to get big quickly.  My belly has a mind of its own.  I know what you mean about losing your breath.  I feel like after I eat I didn't leave any room left for my lungs.  I teach on the second floor of a building so I do a lot of steps in a day.  My kids are running me ragged this year too.  I am exhausted from being on my feel all day.  

I am excited for your shower.  I hope you get lots of great things.  Did you get an outfit for the shower yet?  I refuse to wear dresses and skirts at this point.  My ankles and feel start to swell by the end of the day.  I tried to wear heals to work yesterday and after 7 hours on my feel I was regretting every second of those heals.  

How is Cain doing?  Is he getting ready for his little angel to show up.  You are getting to the very end.  I cannot believe you will be a mommy in a little over a month...maybe.  Who knows you might go early.  My sister's friend just had her little one yesterday and she wasn't due until December 31st.  She was only 29 1/2 weeks.  That would scare me so much.  The baby seems to be doing fine but was only about 2 1/2 lbs and needs a lot of care.

How has everything gone?  I like having an appt. every 2 weeks.  Makes me feel a little better about new symptoms.  And let me tell you....the third trimester is a rough one.  I feel a lot of pain between my legs lately.  Almost like I pulled my groin muscles.  I pee about oh....20 times a day.  I will go and then as soon as I leave the restroom I feel like I have to go again.  Sometimes I feel like I am going to pee my pants and then I go to the bathroom and it trickles out like I have no pee in me.  What a pain in the butt.  O well...I love being pregnant and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I just need this little guy to quit using my bladder as a pillow!  

How about you...any terrific symptoms to share that I should look forward to in the near future?

Hey girl, not so great, my boss caught me online of course...I'm at my grandma's house right now! As far as physically though, I'm fine except that I am having major breathing problems after I eat lunch, I feel like I can't get a deep enough breath, so I try to breathe more and I get dizzy from too much oxygen...haha. How was your visit with your neices? Did the bird house turn out okay and how are Olivia's nails?

I wouldn't worry about the weight, it's normal to gain up to 50 pounds so I'm sure it's fine! I hope he turns, but if he doesn't you'll get to see him closer to my due date...and if I'm late we could have our babies the same week!! Olivia was head down about 3 weeks ago but I don't know if she's moved back or not...your mom is really crazy!!

Shower is coming up next Saturday!! I am so excited!! Cain's mom is taking me to the doctors tomorrow and shopping for a new outfit for my shower(she did the same thing for my wedding shower)!! I'm sure your face is fine lol!! Everyone says I'm all baby so I hope that means I don't look bloated!

Own it and have read it about 10 times!! You worried about your weight gain, according to Jenny she gained close to 60 lbs!! You should also get her book baby laughs, it's about the first year of parenting!!

Well, tomorrow is Friday thank God and I only have to work half a day so hopefully I'll be able to talk to you tomorrow evening sometime!
