lol alicia we were writing at the same time. thats awful about your moms dog! some days i have lots of braxton hicks adn they are very uncomfortable but other days i have very few. i think i am getting close to labor tho, within a couple weeks i keep having loose bowel movements which is usually a sign. so who knows... ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 9:24 AM
Oh geeze well i have been having loose ones too. I need to keep track of what my body is doing better.... I live close to the KY line. I am in Goodlettsville . It's like an hour to Bowling Green for me. ↑
Name: cnasmom | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 9:31 AM
yeah i live about 2 hours from bowling green. i know about where goodletsville is, i always see signs for it going into nashville. i can't wait til my apt tomorrow. getting nervous. but i keep thinking if its really bad, they will call me today. who knows ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 9:37 AM
I am sure they would call you if it was bad. I have my next apt Wed and I get another U/s and they will measure Mason. i love knowing how big he is. I think I am finally okay with the fact that I may need a c section. If they feel thats best then thats that. ↑
Name: cnasmom | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 9:41 AM
she didn't measure the baby on the u/s she just checked my fluid and made sure baby was heads down. she tried checking if it was really a girl, but once again, she or he didn't cooperate very well. im scared of a c-section. both my first were vaginal. i have decent sized babies but i think she may be my smallest. she is measuring right on target every week just about. which for my babies is rare, they were at least 1 to 2 wks bigger. i wanted to know how much she weighed but didn't get to find out. ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 9:51 AM
That sucks... I would want to know too. Maybe she will show them next time they do and U/s. I am so tired this morning. i don't think i am sleeping well anymore. ↑
Name: cnasmom | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 10:00 AM
she won't do another u/s dang it. that was my last one. i dont sleep well either. it was after midnight when ifell asleep then i got up at 12:44 to pee and every freaking hour after that! ahhhhhhhhh. i feel ur pain on that one. ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 10:11 AM
I guess I am lucky. I use to get up 2-4 times a night but now I am only getting up 1 time a night and have been for about 3 weeks now. ↑
Name: cnasmom | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 10:20 AM
must be nice!!! once the baby gets here ill get more sleep lol. i used to fall asleep breastfeeding adrianna in the recliner adn we'd both snooze til she got up to eat again, lol. but she didn't breastfeed very long cuz her little belly was really sensitive to everything i ate. but it was nice. i gotta go mail some stuff i sold on ebay. and go get a printer from my momma. shes giving me her old one. i am too tired to go anywhere especially with these two, they have already been such a joy this morning... fighting like crazy. ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 10:29 AM
Well have fun. I will talk to you when you get back. Maybe there will be someone else on today. I am sure patti loved sleeping in today. Boy I don't know if I can make it working up until Mason gets here. i am way too tired today. ↑
Name: cnasmom | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 10:33 AM
ahhh, i bet. i quit working with adrianna about a month before i had her cuz she had already dropped all the way down adn she didn't think id make it til my due date. but since i quit working i had her 6 days late!!! but i will be back on later, have a good day and i wonder where everyone else is??? ↑
Name: JustStartingOut | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 10:46 AM
I know how you feel. My left hand and leg are way more swollen then my right! My doc gave me a wrist splint to sleep with cause my hand gets so swollen at night i can't even make a fist in the morning! A little over 4 weeks left!!!!! She has already dropped, and i too am having loose Bm's, so hopefully she will be here soon!! I unfortunately have to work until my due date. ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 11:05 AM
Wow my hands and feet aren't swelling that bad. I had some swelling sunday but that was just cause I did alot of walking around. Usually its not that bad. Mason is really hurting me when he moves now. Or like when Jeremy presses on me to feel Mason it hurts. ↑

Hello pumpkins.....Alicia, that really sucks about your puppy. I wouldn't know what to do in a situation like that. Did you have to put your dog down, or your neighbors dog? I have an appt tomorrow too Danielle! I had a rough morning though. I kept getting lightheaded. I couldn't even stand long enough to put my makeup on and I took my bloodpressure and the highest reading I was getting was 98/78 and the lowest was 87/57 and there were several in between there. But my doctor's nurse wasn't worried. It was a yucky feeling though. But I'm here a work now. I REALLY wish I was in bed. My weekend was kinda whatever. Went grocery shopping with 3 kids on Friday, took my kids and my sister's kids swimming on Saturday, then went and saw WANTED with my parents on Saturday night, got very sick in the middle of Saturday night, then was lazy all day Sunday. Carl wasn't able to come home, so that sucked. But he'll have a three day weekend this weekend. I cannot express to you ladies how much I wanna be in bed right now!! Danielle, we are probably up at the same time at night. My body is up like clockwork everynight, plus my parents got their electric bill, which was very high, so they decided to crank the air up so it is miserable in that damn house. I secretly lower it to 76 at night in my part of the house or else I would roast. ↑
Name: softbreeze200 | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 11:43 AM
Morning Mommas!! Sounds liek we are all feeling about the same this morning!! TIRED TIRED TIRED!!! Danielle - that is crappy about not being able to see little miss chloe's bits for sure, but I wouldn't worry. I am sure she is still a she! And your swelling is not sounding good. I wonder what they will say at your appt. Mine has not really gone down at all. With this heat, it just gets worse and hurts. The bones in my feet feel like they have been crushed most of the time. I keep telling myselef only a few more weeks. And I think I would rather this swelling issue than throwing up all day. Erin that is crappy that Carl didn't egtt o get home, but thankfully you guys have a long wekend coming so he will get to spend some time then. Alicia - I was so lookingf orward to the sleepin this morning, but my damn internal alarm clock woke me up right on time to get up for work. Then once I realized I had no work, there was nothing in the world that I could do to get back to sleep regardless of the fact that I was dead tired. I hope this quits real soon and I can at least get a few sleep ins before sleep as I know it becomes totally extinct! We are starting a major heat wave here with temps staying over 100 and we have no air in the house either. So I am trying to convince hubby that he really doesn't want to go golfing today, but instead go to the lake so I can at least just go sit there and veg in the water. But for some reason he wants to go get heat stroke on the golf course. I may have to pull out the poor pregnant girl card soon!!hee hee:) ↑

Morning!! It sucks i never get to come on here anymore bc ive been soooo busy at work. But I hope everything is going good with everyone! Ive been getting really worried about her movements as usual.i called my doctor almost everyday last week. I know shes just not moving as much as she used to, but my doctor seems to think its okay. (ive told her about how often i feel her and my kick count results, etc...) i dont want to go in to the hospital for no reason (cause who knows how much a NST will cost me), but at the same time, im sooo tired about worrying about it. How often should I notice her move throughout the day?? We painted the nursery last night!! Its almost all the way done, all we have left is the decor stuff. (lamps, rug, pics, etc..) Other than that Im so excited. I only have 4 weeks of work left and then a short 2 or 3 weeks later she will be here!! YAY! ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 11:45 AM
Erin I hear ya. Lets go get in opur beds and take a nap. I feel like crapola today. I have already ate all my lunch besides my sandwich so now I have to go get something... Maybe the drive will wake me up. Yes we had to out our dog down. The neighbor dog lived. It was really sad. Plus my moms cat is 19yrs old and she doesn't have too many more days ahead of her and it just really weighs on my Mom and I can't stand to see her sad. I hope your bp gets better. Those numbers aren't too good. OMG I just looked down at my feet and they are huge. I don't know whats wrong with them. they r never like this in the mornings... I ahve been laying in the recliner with wet rags on my feet and that seems to help too. Oh and FYI the new meds ahve my numbers right on track. I even ate way too much stuff Friday at cracker barrel and was sure my #'s would be high and I think it was 98!!! I wa slike heck yes give me another biscuit... LOL. ↑

Oh Patti, you DO love us still! I would DIE without A/C. I guess ya'll don't need it too much up there, huh? I would pull the pregnant card, or if I were you, I'd drive my swollen little legs over to some body of water, whether pool, lake or river. Beth, I wouldn't worry about the movements as long as there is some sort of movement. Creedence still has her slower moments and even days, but I still feel her, so I try not to fret. Alicia, what kind of dog was Lexus? That is so sad-here's a hug for you love. I still feel like crap. I'm gonna go home and lay down. That is a benefit of my job, even though I'm gonna have to bust ass tomorrow to catch up. I just feel weak and drained and my noggin hurts. I'll probably be back after my nappy-poo. Smooches. ↑
Name: softbreeze200 | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 11:58 AM
Oh Alicia - that is terrible news about your dog. I am sorry to hear that happened. Lets hope that the kitty hangs on there for a while longer yet. Are both your feet swollen about the same?? If you notice that one gets much more than the other, check in with the doc. My doc told me that one beinga bit bigger is alright, but any major major difeerences need to be checked out. MY left is always a bit more than my right, but it always stays about the same diffeerence. Eliz - great to hear from you!! I am sure the movement is good. They are supposed to slow quiet a bit I think due to running out of room, but maybe just give your dr a call and give them the numbers from your kick counts and see what they say. Glad to hear the nursery is getting ready!! Can you believe that there will actually be little ones in our nursery's soo soon?? I can't wait to meet her!! ↑
Name: softbreeze200 | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 12:01 PM
Lol!! Erin - I told you guys that I wouldn't leave ya!! I need my mommies!! We don't usually need the a/c for more than June to sept, but this year it is supposed to reach obsene temps all summer, so hubby is going to bring the fifth wheel in to town and park it in the driveway. It has a/c, so at least I can go sleep in there and try to get some rest. ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 12:05 PM
Patti- I couldn't do 100 without a/c. Its only 80's here today. I would hope your hubby takes you to the lake. And eliz- I wouldn't worry either. Mason does it to me sometimes but just when i am like okay when was his last movement,... he moves. Erin- she was a huskie/ german shepard/ lab mix. Her and her brother adopted us about 11-12 yrs ago and her brother was a big dog (175lbs) but he was killed when lighting struck our a/c unit and it traveled underground to where he was laying in the bushes not far from the unit. That was about 2 yrs ago then my moms cat Tom 17yrs old died the same month. So we have lost 3 pets in 2 yrs. and those were the first we have ever lost. So it's hard. But she was very shy and she would barely let me touch her. so its just wierd. ↑
Name: elizhope | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 12:06 PM
Thanks for the reassurances ladies. I do feel her everyday, it just has gone down ALOT so i worry. When it was strong movements most of the day to just light movements 2 or 3 times a day, I worry. But my doctor says its fine, so i will try to relax. Patti, I dont know how you survive without A/C!! Here in texas I think we would all melt! Erin, that sucks how tired you are..naps are the best remedy though! I havent gotten too tired yet (well except from being kept awake by the neighbors yappy dog all of a sudden!) ↑
Name: softbreeze200 | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 12:52 PM
Well hubby went golfing, so Trigger (my dog) and I are going to go outside and set up our little pool in the backyard adn get it filled!! It will be needed this week!! Then we can go sit in it and cool off!! SO I will check back in with you later when I need to get my fat piggies up in the air. Hope you all have a good morning!! Oh Alicia - I finally posted my cell on your myspace message. Sorry I took so long to get that done! Now I have all of yours too - can't wait to start getting text messages!!:) :) ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 1:10 PM
have fun in the pool Patti- i am sure I will drive in mine when i get home.. Haha yea right. Dive in. More like waddle my fat behind to the shallow and slowly submerge this tank....lol And I will send everyone Patti's number tonight. i think I left off Gabbi's number from the list so I will send that too! ↑
Name: cnasmom | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 1:29 PM

I finally fell asleep at 2 and woke up a 6. started laundry because everything is vomitted on.YUCK! i do not feel like cooking. Sorry girls i just needed to get this out. ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 2:31 PM
Lilybug honey you are fine... Just let it out. sometimes you may think we wont to choke our family or on the edge of a break down so just let it out. I would ahte to be in your house right now. Just make sure you don't get sick... that would be awful. And I have a weak stomach. Idk how I will ever deal with my children throwing up....lol ↑
Name: anamariaflorencia | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 3:40 PM
Aww, I'm sorry to hear everyone is feeling bad/tired. I've been feeling great lately...like I'm not pregnant at all...and actually, more energetic then when I wasn't pregnant. I'm 33 weeks along, so a little behind some of you. Maybe that's why. Maybe in two weeks or so I'll be miserable like a lot of you are feeling. I was reading that some of you have had another sonogram. I didn't know we got another one. Do we or is that just for special cases like GD? ↑
Name: ekay03 | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 3:50 PM
Well I am back and feeling a bit better (especially after some mint choc chip ice cream), but when I woke up my b/p was 84/51, so I don't know what the hell is going on. Beth I had the weirdest dream about you while I was napping! I was renting the house you guys had lived in except it was a huge, gorgeous two story house. It was probably the coolest house I'd ever seen (in my mind at least). It was totally weird. Anyways, good to hear from you not-so-frequent posters. Does anyone have any big plans for the 4th? It's my husbands favorite holiday (in his words he "likes to blow shit up") and since I get tired so easily, I'm sure I'll end up home alone by 9:00. I hate feeling so crappy right now. At least I have a doc appt tomorrow. ↑
Name: mommaminchey | Date: Jun 30th, 2008 4:04 PM
anamariaflorencia- i have u/s every week now because of my GD. Most of the others don't. It is kinda up to the doc I think now. Erin I am not gonna do anything either. Jeremy wanted
to go on the boat this weekend but I put a stop to that one real quick. It's just gonna be my family at home on the 4th. His mom is having the lap band surgery tomorrow so we will likely go see her friday. I go to the doc wed and I am thinking about taking a half day. I still haven't changed my drivers liscence yet..... LOL. or the bank account but thats on purpose. ↑
