How is everyone this week?

Just checking in with all of the September Mommies.

On my ticker I noticed that I'm down to 49 days. I'm so excited to meet this baby, but feeling a little sad about the end of the pregnancy. lol I have no idea why.

How are you all feeling and any big drs appointments or ultrasounds this week? Oh also does anyone have new belly pics or nursery pics up?

I'm feeling axious and kind of moody lately. I threatend my DH that I was going to quit my job (only income) yesterday so that I could be home with the kids. (Selfish I know). I have a huge urge to clean and get things ready but I can't because I'm at work. (Since Friday until Sunday). YUCK. I did this to myself I needed the over time to feel ok about taking maternity leave. So...I'm feeling a little low. No big appts for me next one is on 7/29.

I'd also like to know how you can be pregnant and your dang pants keep needing to be pulled up (complaint for the day). :P

Good morning Ladies, i can say that i am on the boat with being so tired...i am drinking at LEAST 1 gallon of water a day, plus whatever else (milk, oj, etc) on top of that so i am up probably 4 to 6 times a night peeing. Then i have nights like last night where i lay back down and then cannot fall back to sleep. Just keep replaying the day over and over in my head or thinking about missing sex (whether i want it or not is a dif story), or thinking about whats for breakfast and so on and so on... This little monkey is wild, i sit almost all day (when he is awake) and watch my stomach moving. He has been kicking my ribs and stomach a lot more, thats not so fun. The stairs are becoming more and more of a challenge (wow this is one of those days that word does not look right) anyway, i loose my breath half way up... Still have 2 visits a week with my peri which i am going to see if they will put it back to 1, they said the other day i am not having any contractions, the baby is doing exactly what they want to see, he was practicing breathing while they were checking my fluids, 5 in a row and they are only looking for 1 every hour at this point. My blood pressure is only high when i am there and the last 3 times, it hasnt been as high as normal, 130/90 vs 150/100. We still have so much to buy, i need to take that money that i am wasting with them since i only see the nurses and buy what we still need to get...

now im babbling, sorry... im 30 weeks today, we will be meeting Bryce in just under 9 weeks (being induced 2 days before 39 weeks) getting my cerclage removed at 36 weeks, and like wanttobe said, hope that gets the ball rolling...so close so close...ive been pregnant now for over a year so i can sanely say, i will not be missing it so much... (haha, Bryce has the hiccups right now)

Oh did I mentioned how I am constanly late for work and dropping my step son at camp. Yeah, I dread getting up in the morning b/c I'm sooooooo tireddddddddd. I am literally falling asleep in the office at work. Now when I take lunch I just shut my office door and put a stick on the door saying "Please do not disturb, eating lunch" I tried to close my eyes for at least 20 mins but doesn't seem to help. I think I'm going to hold out for as long as I can. I would like to be back from FMLA after the New Year, we will see what happens though.

Ugh... I'm 33 weeks and some odd days... sorry I lost count a while ago since the doc kept changing my due date.  Oh well I guess, I know I'm due September 13th, that is if I don't get induced prior because of the gallbladder issues I have been having.  Though I'm not sure if that would even be an option because Owen is still head up.  He's really stuberen and every time I think he'll turn, he doesn't, he likes to sit on my bladder and stick his head out around my belly buttum, which is really annoying because it hurts...

Um... sleep is pretty much non-exhistant... meaning at night all I will fall asleep at night just to be greeted with terrible nightmares... and that's dumb!  But if I sleep druing the day, I can sleep no problem... I mean I get home from work at 3pm and I'll take a nap from 4 until 5 and then I'm good till prolly 9-10pm and then I will pass out till 330am when I usually am able to wake myself up from my nightmares.  (that would be a good night).  Other night's I am up every hour on the hour, for no reason and that's really annoying... however, as most of ya'll have stated that you have to pee all the time, most days I don't, unless Owen's butt is on my bladder, which happens once or twice a week.  Oh well I guess, I'm counting my lucky stars this far.

The only complaint I really have is the back pain that I have been feeling, which is normal...

I am doing okay I suppose.  Wish I could stop working early though!  I am counting down my weeks now.  I have just over 6 weeks left to work :(  It would just be nice to have some time off BEFORE the baby actually gets here, but I always work until the end.  Assuming I hold out until then, I will just take off a couple of days before I have her.

So, all in all, I'm okay.  Just really uncomfortable.....

My next dr. appt. if Friday 7-24.  But it's nothing special.  Just a normal appt.

So, that's it ladies.  I hope you all have a nice week!

Oh yeah waistbands of any kind don't work for me anymore either. The baby just sits too low and it's so uncomfortable. I can't even cross my legs now because it squishes her head and she starts kicking all crazy.

32 1/2 weeks, feeling great!  Except for trouble sleeping and feeling very large.  I perked up about that this week when I discovered that wrap dresses look cute over my big belly...I think it will be dresses from here on out!  (Waistbands just aren't working anymore)

Also my mom and aunt are throwing me a long-distance shower, which I thought was so sweet, I posted about it in my journal...

Baby is kicking really hard lately, up in my ribs...I can't believe how far up there he is!  Another doc appt this Friday but should be just as routine as all the others.

I am so happy to hear that you are all doing well. Apparently faituge is a major complaint for all of us at this point in the pregnancy. I know some days I crawl out of bed and just want to cry because I'm so exhausted. It's like I didn't sleep at all. Then other days I wake up full of energy it's hit or miss.

I was just browsing all of the belly pics everyone looks great!

Hello Mommies!

I am tired, tired, TIRED!! LOL I had my 33 week appointment and NST today and asked the doc when he thought would be a good time for me to go out on maternity leave...he waned to take me off today! LOL...I think I am going to try and work for about three more weeks...I am really slowing down and by me not sleeping well at night I have become very lethargic during the day...which is not good with the 25 mile drive each way each day...My doc even told me I look tired and he wants me to take it easy and to stay off my feet as much as possible...I am trying to hold out as long as I can, but I am running out of steam...I lost another pound and now DH wans to stuff me with food! LOL I asked him if he is trying to make me throw up??? Doc also told me that as of next week if I was to go into labor he would do nothing to stop it! How scary and exciting!!

I posted new belly pics yesterday and also posted an u/s pic where you can see a little bit of Makayla's face! Her cheeks look like my DH's! I really think she will look just like him!  I can't wait to meet her, but I am also starting to feel a little sadness when I think about having to share her with the world...right now we are one and I love feeling her move...I think that iswhat I am going to miss the most!

My shower is next Saturday and I cannot wait! I found a beautiful dress on target.com to wear (DH and I have to wear white)...something nice and simple...I found a really cute wedge sandal at Sears and I am all set and waiting for that day to arrive!!

Well ladies, that's what's going on in my world....we are so close girlies!!

Hugs to all...

Im feeling so so, feels good not to have to go to work. I will be 32 weeks friday then that would mean only 8 weeks left.  My baby shower is on sunday YaY, i cant wait, it will be so much fun.  My next dr appt is on the 31st, im not even sure what the appt will consist of, i have a feeling after i c her she will schedule my next appt for 3 weeks later, i jus wish i could get another u/s.

My dr did write me order for pt and i had my first appt today, i doubt that would really help the sciatic nerve pain, i dont think it will go away until after the baby is born, but i will continue to go for the next 3 weeks and see what happens.

Airqueen; i understand what you mean, ive been thinking that a lot to, well me and DF have made big fusses about who the baby will look like lol.

We still need to get the dressor to the nursery but the bed and changer is up, we still need to put up the letters of the baby name and pictures on the wall and get a lamp and rug then room will be complete

Tomorrow I am 3 weeks from my c-section!  Wow...time is flying.  I am getting very excited and a little nervous too.  With this being my first baby it is a little daunting to know what to expect once we bring him home!

This is a quiet week for me.  Still on bed rest until the c-section and enjoying the peace and quiet.  I am pretty tired so have a lot of naps with my fur baby Honey.  I posted some 33 week belly pics last week and will take some nursery pics as soon as we sort through all the stuff from the shower and the other stuff I have ordered.

Hopefully we are all able to enjoy some rest whether we are still working or not.  I really was not prepared for how tired I would feel at this stage!

I am down to 71 days. I remember when I had 200 some days! wow. I will be 30 weeks tomorrow and I'm excited about that.
My midwife is coming to my house tomorrow at noon to check me so we will see if anything has changed. I am hoping nothing has.
I put up my 29 week belly pic and in the next 2 days I will put up my 30 week pic.
