wow, I didn't know you could decide for yourself to get induced. :) I don't want to go through that again - I hope it just comes on it's own this time. I hated the crazy crazy pain from the pitocin. It is nice though, to know when you're going to have the baby - you can be prepared and stuff. I gained another 4 pounds - so now I'm up at least 40 with about 8 weeks to go. ugh. I really don't know where it all goes cuz I don't feel that big except my belly and my b___t. :) I also had to get some different iron because I wasn't taking the right stuff. The nurse told my my level was a 28. My friend with cancer says that you are anemic if you are under 36 - and she's a 34. So I guess I really need to up the iron intake! I've been trying - taking my pill every night, eating meat with OJ...now I have to take a 325mg pill twice a day. I also realized that the reason I've been feeling queasy lately is because of the iron. Can't wait to see how i do taking my new dose! Potty train in a day??? Hmm...you'll have to let me know if it works! Lets see...what else...next week, Friday works best for me, but I'll have my 4 year old niece with me all day. My sister just asked me to watch her. I'll try to think of something for the kids to do - rachel is a terror if I let her loose. :)

My experience with pitocin was great. Everything happend just like it was supposed to and I was greatful. Like I said though, If it comes down to the day before and I am getting nowhere then I may change my mind. I want so badly for things to go the way they did with Madalyn, or better. When I say I am scared to go in to labor on my own I mean 'terrified out of mind'. I DO NOT want to be told that I have to stay home until the contractions are 5 minutes apart lasting 1-2 minutes, that sound like torture to me! Anyway, next friday should be fine. I will come out there this time. There must be an Olive Garden around the mall somewhere? I have no idea what to do with the kids, maybe they will just be happy to go out for lunch. I am sorry you have to take so much iron, I hope it doesn't make you feel even c___ppier. Yes, potty training in a day. My girlfriend Jessica swears by it, and she really thought it was going to be a big waste of time, energy, and money, but after about 4 hours her 2 and a half year old was going poop and potty by himself! I have to atleast try. I'll be sure to let you know how it went.

my induction went well too - it was just really intense. Well,if you're a scaredy cat you can get your induction. :) haha...I'm just teasing. I'm not really afraid of labor at all - it's kind of weird. I just want to know that I won't get stuck with NO options as far as drugs go. :) And by the way, don't worry about how you "answer", I usually just ramble on and on about whatever comes to mind. I'm kind of scatterbrained these days. Oh, there is an Olive Garden at Southcenter, across from the Target in the mall parking lot. We could alway go to Ikea and let them run around...

Hey there - 10 works fine, at Ikea? I barely even opened my computer since Thursday night! We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sun and cleaning out our garage. I’m soo tired now! The iron hasn’t quite kicked in yet either. Ugh…so Saturday I went to this Emoms Sale at Bellevue Community College – a huge consignment sale –and got a Graco Duoglider stroller for $50! It is black/grey and in great condition. I’m really glad I went now! I had to wait in line for 45 minutes before they opened but I got a great deal! They had soo much stuff!! I tried to find a double jogger but they didn’t have any. I’ll try the sale in May at the Renton Community Center. I was pretty happy about it – I didn’t want to have to spend a ton of money on a new stroller AGAIN.I need to finish painting Rachel and Jr’s room – just the closet – and put in new switches and plates. The ones we have are the old brown ones and ugly. Oh, a dimmer switch too. I love those things! How was your weekend???

kind of c___ppy - but your post disappeared. It was doing that yesterday afternoon - I would post or see posts - then they were gone. I had major BH yesterday along with period crampiness that was bad enough for me to call the dr. It was horrible! I never had anything like that with Rachel. They just had me take it easy and drink water. Eventually they went away - but it dragged out through the night to some degree. Jr is driving me crazy too! He's moving around so much I feel like he's going to tear through my stomach! I can't believe how much my stomach moves!

The site was off line for a short while yesterday, I think they fixed the problem, but, yeah, my post is gone. 10am at Ikea is great, but where exactly? I am not too familiar with that place. Is there only one entrance? If so, should we meet right inside? I am so tired today. I watched the 11pm news and then went right to sleep, the problem is that Madalyn woke me up at 7:30 this morning. she is not consistent with her sleep pattern. On any given morning she could wake anywhere from 6:30 to 9am. I just wish she would pick a time and stick to it so I could predict when she was going to wake. She didn't start waking early until we put her in her big girl bed. I think her new found freedom is the reason for her being an early riser now. Anyway, I'm sorry you had a rough day with your little guy. It sucks to be that uncomfortable. Talk to you soon.

I wanted to let you know that one of the women I have been talking to on the Labor Questions board, had her baby yesterday. I created a thread for her on the third tri board for well wishers. You should take a look. If you want to read her birth story it is under labor questions as well, her screen name is due-in-april and her question was about induction. Anyway, is friday still good for you?

grrr!!! I typed a whole long post and it disappeared!!!!!! Anyways, 10am tomorrow is good - right inside the front doors/main entrance to Ikea. I can drop my niece off at the little kiddy play area so I don't have to worry about her for a bit - and we can roam around with the little ones. I think I'm going to try to get Rachel a potty chair soon - she's been staying dry most of the time. My sister thinks she might be an easy one to potty train since she seems to be learning to hold it for long periods. I hope so! That would be awesome! I think I'm going to try to find one today - let her get used to it. Ok - see you at 10am tomorrow- I'll also try to check out the delivery post when I have a few minutes.

What happened to my kid that would sleep until 8:30am every morning!! Now she is getting up a little before 6am!!! This really sucks. I don't want to get up this early. I like to stay up in the evenings for a bit and watch my shows and just have some time to myself. That is surely turning in to an impossibility, as I have to be in bed by 9pm now to get enough sleep. Maddy is so funny about it too. I wake up as she is running down the hall, making noise like a heard of elephants and yelling, "mama, mama". Then she flings the bedroom door open and comes to my side of the bed with her ice cold little hands and tries to drag me out of bed by the foot. Then she will bring me a baby hat, one shoe and a bra and tell me she wants breakfast. I am then expected to jump out of bed, throw on my shoe, the baby hat and put my bra on and be ready for the day. Heather, I don't want to get up at 6am. What am I going to do once Nathaniel comes?! I have always been a night owl and I like it that way. I guess it is really not about me anymore, this b__ws. Anyway, how are you feeling?

That really sucks! I would be so miserable if Rachel was doing that! Well, you won't be getting any sleep soon anyways! Can you keep her door closed so she doesn't get up and come in YOUR room?Me, I'm feeling fine, just really really tired - my body doesn't go as long as it used too and I hate feeling so useless. :) This week is our anniversary - and I haven't even a clue what to do for Tim this year. I'm too tired to think about it! I feel like such a bad wife now. :)

We only keep her door open a couple of inches. We have to because of the humidifier in her room, but we close ours. We have handles on all our doors, so they are easy for her to open. Happy Anniversary! Don't feel bad about no doing much, I am sure Tim understands. For this past Valentine's Day and my birthday, we just took Madalyn and went out to dinner. Maybe just a nice card and an art project from Rachel? Well, I am off to lunch with my friend Julie, her mom and the boys. You are 33 weeks now, right? Only 7 weeks to go!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

34 weeks, SORRY! I lost track. I can't stand Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I have tried them a few times and they always left a greasy feeling in my mouth. Maybe it was just the kind I had, I don't know. Lunch went well. Madalyn ate an entire corn dog and a handful of fries, she is also learning how to drink through a straw... finally! Do you want to get together this week? Wednesday is the only day that wouldn't work for me.
