well ladies baby shower was great... only bad thing is the chicken salad sandwiches... ugh, they were good but the spices (some mixture from isreal) gave me some major bad heartburn as did the punch(pineapple juice, cranberry juice, concentrate lemonade and sprite) it was good but the pineapple juice didnt like me at all....lol... but i was a good "guest of honor" and didnt complain, i was very humble and enjoyed everything... then complained about the heartburn when i got home... lol i got quite a bit that i wanted and am very happy about that.

as of today i have 4 weeks and 4 days til my csection... although i am really secretly hoping that i go into labor or my water breaks before that... i am kinda ready to stop hurting so badly... i have started to feel pressure down below and occassional sharp little pain shooting through cervix...wonder if that means anything?  

i dont go to doc for another 2wks 1day... and i am really anxious to find out what he has to say... i will be 35 wks on saturday. soooo close. will be 37 weeks at doc appt and would love to be told that i have started to dialate... that they are gonna go ahead and do csection then and there...lol ... but i doubt that will happen.  i know it is better for bubs to stay in there and cook for as long as possible but this is getting ridiculous... everytime baby moves (unless it is hiccups) it HURTS... ugh... am just so anxious to meet this lil alien...lol

Eternidad- I think you misunderstood, I am not going to have any u/s done anymore :( I want to but I won't (unless some complications..). My regular appt with MW is next Thursday only, I will be 31 weeks! We are getting there and I am excited but these 10 weeks go so SLOW!!!
I am wondering how come I didn't put any weight on for the last 6 weeks? Is that normal?
How often do you feel your babies? I feel mine every other hour :) Its adorable!

ZUZ- who is driving you to Ohio? I don't think you should travel at all, its not very safe...Im surprised they are sending you to Ohio! Don't be scared, my Midwife said that 2 weeks smaller or bigger is not a big problem at all!!!!!
Last time I measured right on target....

As I am getting closer, I wonder about the whole delivery thing... How do you avoid induction? Is there anything you can do to get your own labor? Maybe walking miles before?

Zuz- honey don't wory about your belly measuring small, remember mine measure way ahead my gestational age, but my doc and I don't worry much. She says that sometimes babies can measure two weeks less or two weeks more, so don't stress out. I know yu have been through a lot, but God is watchingafter s and these pregnancies will have a happy ending.

Next week I go for my next appoit and will se how meausre that time. Have fun in Ohio.

Anya- the pressure i think is noral, the bigger the belly the harder it is to carry that weigh around and puts pressure on your pelvic bone. Glad though your OB is having you schedule for an u/s.

Maria- Yipeee, your parents are here, what a happy day. I am glad to hear you will not be alone for the delivery and after.  I took the child birth classes thinking they were going to help me, but they were o.k. I did not find them at all that helpful, they teach you how to breath on the delivery, your pain meds options, etc. Go ahead and schedule yourself, is always nice to hear about all that.

Hi.  Thanks for the nice words.  You guys are awesome.  I am a little worried.  I"m trying not to be but I am.  I cant wait for the next two weeks to just pass just so I can see baby.  I really don't need any added stress!

Maria, that's great that your parents are here.  Enjoy your time with them!  I bet they can't wait to meet the baby!

Anya, yes, my doctor wants me to get an u/s to be be safe so we'll see...I'm a little scared.  :(  Yes I feel pressure when I stand up too.  It just makes me have to pee a lot!

I'm going to Ohio tomorrow for work.  I'm not looking forward to waking up at 5 am and being in the car for 4 hours!!!  Thank God I'm not driving!

Hello girls!
Maria - so everything seems to be going well, your parents are here, so that's awesome!!
I have not put any weight myself for the last  month or so, and I am a little worried about that as I suppose to gain a pound a week? My appt is in another week and a half and I hope my belly will measure fine! Welcome to the week 30!! 10 more weeks to go, girls! 10 MORE WEEKS!!
I heard the classes are very helpful and you learn so much, so I am eager to take them starting this weekend!
It has been uncomfy to sleep these days and also, I only feel her legs kicking and moving, not so much the arms....I hope she is fine in there!\

ZUZ- don't worry about a thing, are you going to get that u/s to check the measurement of the baby?
