Hello ladies! I have not been having weird dreams but i sure am drooling alot at night... omg it is terrible... its embara__sing luckily sweetheart don't see it!!! lol... but still... it is gross!!! I am still working and plan on working up until the day i go into labor until the doctor tells me to not work. but i do not forsee that happening unless something happens... but as of right now i'm still working full 40 hrs a week... here at my day job and at the part time job 3 nights a week but that is only like an hour to do per night so it is nothing horrible... i'm still feeling pretty crampy... it just started again this morning saturday night i had 7 contractions at 5 minutes apart and then they just stopped... lol i was like darn it! but they were not BAD contractions so i wasn't too set on anything major happening... but still... it was the first real consistent contractions i've had... then yesterday i was fine and today i am just cramping all over my lower front belly/bikini line area... nothing bad but enough to notice it... it is crazy because i get on here waiting to see someone missing... and then not hear from them for a few days and then speculate they must be having their lo!!!! =) It is crazy how any of us can go at any time!!!! That still just b__ws my mind. =) Congrats to all of us!!! =) LOL

We got the Jeep Liberty all terrain stroller from Sears. It has real rubber tires instead of plastic and it has a little steering wheel toy that makes noise for the baby to play with while riding. You can also plug your iPod into it and listen through the speakers. Not sure how it'll do in the sand, but we'll find out in Sep when we go to the beach. We live in WV and do a lot of walking on trails though, and it looks like it'll do a great job in gra__s and gravel.

Hey ladies i just wanted to inform you all that i have been having contractions this morning! I have been keeping track of them and they are ranging from every 2-5 minutes... nothing STRONG or bad i have a call into my doctor and waiting to see what she says... i am THINKING she'll have me come in to monitor them or tell me to go home from work and rest and see if that has any affect on them.. because they are not strong contractions... just i can feel them... so i just wanted to share, JUST IN CASE I am not here later.... but i will keep you updated as to what my midwife says...

Hello AGAIN ladies!!! gosh i think i'm the only one here today!!! LOL Just want to let you all know that i am STILL having contractions. I called my midwife and the nurse changed my appt from wednesday to tomorrow and told me to put on a pantyliner and go walk around for half an hour (TMI ALERT) i'm having alot of drainage and she wanted me to kind of montor that in a half hour period... but i am STILL having contractions regularly.. well they haven't been further apart than 8 minutes although they did slow down when i went to walk and i just felt alot of pressure like everything was being pulled down... but when i sat back down boy can i feel the contractions again... they aren't PAINFUL but i can definately feel them.... and i also got told by a lady in my office it won't be long because i am dropping and she don't even know i am having these contractions... so that was a coincidence and i was like well i sure hope so!!! Now i'm just sitting here at work with my honey at home today thinking i should go in regardless... but we both listen to what my midwife says... and she hasn't told me to come in yet but i'm still waiting one more phone call from the nurse to let me know if i just wait until tomorrow now or just see how the night goes... so we will see!!! Where is everyone at today!?!?! Maybe you are all having your babies!!! Hoping someone is... Speaking of birth stories and babies- Monica it is so great to see your twins again! WOW!!! they do look different already and such preciousness and ROBYN!!! Justin is lovely! Glad we finally heard from you and also it was great to FINALLY see pics of him!!!! =)

K2 - i am so excited for you this could be it!! I have feel awful for not coming on here till late in the day though this baby is so easy to deal with we find ouselves doing so much around the house that by the time i sign its so late. Justin had his 1st checkup this afternoon. The stupid hospital measured him wrong they said he was 20in well hes 21 1/2 inches BIG difference hes weighing in at 7lbs 1 1/2 ounces now he lost 7 ounces in the hospital. So the doc said hes doing fabulous i talked to him about feedings since Justin is always hungry he said feed the baby whenever hes hungry every 2 - 4 hours is fine if its an hour between feeding try and pacify him but if he really wants food then give it to him. I like docs that think like me and DH do. I also mentioned that justin really never ever cries. The doc goes ok.... you want your baby to cry all the time?? I said no i just dont know whats normal? He said consider yourselves very lucky that you have a very healthy and a very content baby that doesnt cry most people would kill for that. Justin didnt make a peep at the docs office he was being handled by nurses and the doc they were measuring him checking him from head to toe looking at his privates, his belly b___ton everything he could care less so i am going to say we lucked out with this. Now if he could just sleep thru the night HA wishful thinking. I think we were up till almost 3am this morning he was just looking around not bothering anyone i was sooo tired i thought i was gonna die but once he fell asleep hes out for a while its just he sleeps mainly all day the doc said that will all change they still think they are inside so this what they are used to for now. Ok i have rambled too much. If anyone hasnt seen pics of justin email Sarah or me i will send you the link grimm_robyn a bellsouth dot net.

Kristin..i added you. but mahagen i couldnt find you. My screen name is ShalaNewMommy

K2, how exciting!!!! Keep ups updated on your progress and hopefully this is it, YEAH!!!

K2 - Waiting to hear from you. Is this really it?? It certainly sounds promising! Robyn - The pictures of Justin are great! I enjoyed seeing the ones of him right after he came out. It's great he's such as easy baby, too! I hope I'm that lucky. I am not at work today or tomorrow - trying to take it easy and enjoy some time alone before that kind of time is at a premium. We're still scheduled for the induction Wed. at 7AM. I had a flat tire today, which put a kink in my relaxation, but I guess that's better than having one after Jack's born. Happy Monday, everyone! - April

K2- Good Luck and Best Wishes on a wonderful delivery! Those contractions are a super signal of early labor, How exciting and keep in touch!!! Robyn- You got a chill baby, your lucky momma! It took Alexis 2 weeks to sleep though the night. He just sounds so amazing and adorable ! April- you have til Wednesday! Couple days shy of Leap Day! Kristin has 9 days!!! I have 9 days til edd. My ob ap is tomorrow morning, and I don't know what she is going to do to me, another stripping? At this point I'm so ready to have Hannah, my pelvic area is so sore and crampy. And on and off contractions. Dh and i did the deed last night and that was not fun on my behalf! No more of that! I wasn't in this much pain with Alexis, Hannah is giving me the axe! Happy Monday night and everyone keep up the exiting updates! Erica
