Our Journey to December

[need_answers_from_someone]

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.

Well at least Monday is over.  How was yours...mine was a typical Monday.  Was your weekend relaxing and enjoyable.  Mine was fairly busy.  Friday night I went to dinner with Jason for his birthday...then Saturday I went to his mom's for dinner....the Sunday we went out to dinner with my mom and dad for his birthday.  He was spoiled.  I even gave it up...yeah I know!  It was not very comfortable but it is not all about me.  I give him enough grief every other day.

We spent Saturday getting ready to take all of our junk to the flee market to hopefully make enough money to buy our crib.  My mom will be painting the nursery this weekend so we are off and running.  My mom is also getting my list together for the shower.  We are shooting for the first weekend in November.  It is hard to believe pregnancy is going to be a thing of the past very soon.  I am looking forward to Jake being here but I am certain he is much easier to deal with in my belly than out in this world.  Life will be different that's for sure.

I am glad your weight is getting back to normal.  I am starting to worry that I am going to gain too much.  I think I am close to 18 lbs of gain now and I am a month behind you.  Jason says not to worry but of course I do.

You are about 30 weeks now arent you?  10 more weeks and this rollercoaster is over....or just beginning.  I guess it depends on how you look at it.  Well girlie...nothing new on my end...dont forget to butter your belly every night...NO STRETCHMARKS!!

Yup, I'm sick again...I had a little break and just some nausea but from what I hear it comes back in the third tri...along with the hunger so rest assured you're totally normal lol!

Aww, thanks for helping me in my countdown! I did not have the ultrasound but hope to be having it today or sometime next week! Last ultrasound three weeks ago baby was measuring 1 week ahead...doctor's appt yesterday my stomach was measuring one week ahead so I'm curious to find out if she's still ahead or not!! October 8th seems so far away :-( I don't know when my doc will schedule me another one, but I think it's around 35 weeks so I figured I'd go ahead and try to get one now!

Glad your little alien is amusing you lol! When Livie pushes and kicks it looks like a wave going across my tummy lol! Sometimes it feels like she's trying to kick her way out!

Yup, took us long enough to really pop but we're there...oh I'm getting line (linera nigera) or at least a partial one anyway! I am really putting the weight on now too, 18 1/2 pounds so far!! Some people are so nice! No one does that for me :-( but yeah, nurse it while you can!

Thanks for your support and guess what...it's FRIDAY!! No plans, just gonna be lazy and enjoy that before I no longer can!! I really hope Cain gets that job and I can work part time too! You have to tell me Monday what you and Jason did the weekend! Have a great weekend and tell Jason Happy Birthday .... if you didn't all ready!

Hey there Third Trimester Girlie!!!  How are things going?  Are you still sick in the day?  I wondered if you were still taking meds. for your nausea.  I am starting to get morning sickness again....is that normal?  I am hungry all the time!  I can't get enough.  Thank goodness I am at work again or I would eat us out of the house.  I hope that is the reason that I am sick is because I am hungry.  I am scared to eat all the time cuz I dont want to gain too much weight.  Are you experiencing any of this.  Remember...you are a month ahead of me so I look to you for guidance.

I will help you count down to 32 weeks.  I scheduled my next ultrasound for October 8th which is also my next doctors appt. so that will be something to look forward to.  Did you have an ultrasound yesterday?  I wanted to wait until I was 30 weeks for the ultrasound but I couldnt get the appt I wanted to I am going to take October 8th off from work and get all of my appt. done then.  

Jake is a very busy body!  I am being beat up in the belly as I write this.  I think when he pushes my belly and holds it out its so weird.  Jason and I were laying in bed and the little one pushed his leg? hand? something out of my stomach so it looked like a little cone coming out of my belly.  It looks so cool.  How is Livie girl?  Is she doing well?  

My belly has officially popped!  People at work yesterday were like "Whoa, you finally popped!" I am getting bigger faster now.  It is nice to finally go out and people know you are pregnant and not just fat.  I now have boys load my groceries into my car and people help me with doors and such.  It is kind of nice.  I will nurse that for all it is worth!

I will definitely be crossing my fingers for Cain to get the job he wants.  I hope that you can work part time and enjoy being a mommy not that you wont enjoy being a mommy regardless.  What is the plan for the weekend?  Anything exciting?

I know how much of a damper that can be lol! No guesses yet, just hoping she'll come a week or two early so I can have a November baby! Seems to me that everyone I talk to with a December Birthday hates it b/c Christmas is right around the corner.

I just worry about what's going on in there...since I can't see for myself lol! I worry about stuff going wrong too, I worry about going into labor too early and having a premie. No it's not silly to worry about that, Cain has dislexia and I worry that our baby will to...it does happen.

I have just refused to give up my milestones...my next one is 32 weeks b/c at 32 weeks if born she'll have as much of a chance of survival as a full term baby! It does seem though like it's starting to drag on a bit huh? I think I might go get another ultrasound soon...maybe today but I doubt it lol! Uneventfull means boring...which is exactly what we both prayed for at the beginning of our pregnancies lol!!

Still a nightmare...I offically have nothing to do here at work but stare at the wall...I think she'll either move me into another position or fire me one! I don't really care though! I have been putting out applications everywhere for Cain so hopefully we'll get a call back...if he gets in with this company we'll have awesome insurance and part time here I come...although, I did tell him I would be willing to work full time just not where I am now lol!! Tell Jason Happy Birthday for me and try to have some kinda fun this week lol!

Not having work computer is really putting a damper on my MH time.  Sorry it has been a while since I wrote.  You are officially in your third trimester...yay!!!  The countdown begins!  Have you guessed the day you will have your baby yet?  

I know this sounds silly but I find myself not thinking about losing the baby as much as I think about the delivery now and how nervous I am for that.  I worry that something will be wrong or go wrong.  I guess I see a lot of kids in my classes over the years with learning difficulties so of course I worry about my kids having the same problems.  Is that silly?

Don't you feel like time is standing still?  I feel like at this point it is simply going from week to week.  No more milestones.  I feel like after I learned the sex of the baby  it has been just week after week of the same.  I know the baby is growing a lot and putting on weight but I feel like I go to the doc. office and it is simply measure my tummy, weigh me, then listen for heartbeat, pee in a cup and off I go.  I guess I would rather things be uneventful....Uneventful means nothing bad right?

How is your nightmare boss?  THings getting any better?  I hope you are just playing the preggy card for everything so she leaves you alone.  Nothing new on my end....Jason's birthday is on Sunday so I am taking him to dinner this weekend but other than that....just another week.  

[trying_x_3]

Yeah I hear you...I've dropped my dinner plate too many times to count and ketchup on our tan carpet is not a pretty sight lol!

Lucky you for getting out of work yesterday!! Sorry I couldn't get on, but my boss saw me writing out a check and put me on lock-down lol! I'm only on now b/c I am beyond caring anymore! FRIDAY is here! I know we don't have a whole lot of time, but it feels like forever...12 weeks to go! Glad you have a lot going on to pass the time, I don't really have much at all :-( wow, so many birthdays coming up! Bet you just about go broke during October lol!

Oh I get my crib today...it's a Baby Dream from Baby and Beyond! Between it and the furniture it was well over 1300.00 - but Cain's mom paid for it - love her! Cain prolly wont get it set-up until Sunday but whatever I'm excited anyway! I don't know which glider I wont, the ones I found were so expensive...400.00 for the one I liked!! I think I'm going to look around a little more before I get one!

I still haven't done my registry yet lol!! Think I'll go on THurs when I have my next doctors appt!

I will def enjoy today!! Have a good weekend and don't expend your energy either!
