Of course I can understand Erin. I just wish it was Aug so i could get him out and make sure everything is okay. I am hoping the doctor calls today with my blood test from thursday. I feel like I have water in my lungs. Its very hard to breathe and I just feel like there is a huge weight on my chest. But I am not sick and otherwise feel fine... I had the worst scare this sunday. We had family over for a cookout and after they left my little brother decided he would use the pool cover to make a slip n slide. So the covered this one side of a hill and I sat in a chair and watered it down as they slide. well my mom decided she was going to do it and on the 3rd time she lost her footing and feel and hit her head. She didn't move so I ran over to her and she was unconscience (sp) and I totally freaked and my little brother came over and was freaking out. Cause when you lose one parent the possibility of lossing another is just a tremedous feeling. He started crying and yelling for her to wake up. She finally woke up from what seemed like 30 min which was really maybe 30 sec. So jeremy rode the 4wheeler next door to get our neighbor who is a nurse and she came over. My mom is in limbo w/ the ins since my lovely grandfather canceled her and my brother so it was just a huge mess. And she is okay now but sunday I was an emotional wreck. My mom has never hurt herself in the 23 yrs i have been alive and I just felt so helpless... Gosh it was sad... anyways. had to share cuz all night I was worrie di would go into false labor or something bcuz of all the stress.

Patty, I kept telling myself that after my 27 week u/s I wasn't going to be paranoid anymore if she was measuring okay. Which she was-and then some. But I get the same c___p- You don't look that far along, etc. Plus, I corner my sister and lift up my shirt and say "Look d__nit! Look at how small my stomach is" And she just says, I think you look fine, but I know she's lying. I know she thinks I look small too. I have trouble finding C's hb sometimes, but I find it while sitting up, just so I don't slow her hb by laying on my back. I am even more scared she flipped because I can hear her heartbeat up higher too. I hear it down low, but I also hear it near my belly b___ton too. Just so much to worry about. Alicia- that is so scary. I am so glad your momma is doing alright though. I can't imagine. One time my mom and I were literally in the middle of the lake waiting for my stepdad to come back with the boat and she had been drinking and was drinking a beer at that time and she took a drink and started choking. I can't even remember if we had on life jackets-but I do remember that fear of oh my god-what do I do. I was a teenager then. But I guess my point is I know how scary that is especially given you circ_mstances so here's a big HUG! Do you feel like you have water in your lungs from Mason pushing up on you or literally. Because if it's literally you better get your rearend to the doc. I have been getting horrible BH contrx by the way. I took my girls to the grocery store on Sunday and I would literally have to stop when I would get one because there was this pressure that would follow. But they weren't the "real" contractions, so I wasn't terribly worried. I think my uterus is sensitive because if I have to pee, then I really get 'em.

Hello everyone! Haven't posted in a while... 30weeks today! WooHOo! Spent the weekend in my bikini by the pool! I haven't gained weight anywhere except for this belly, wasn't a small girl to begin with, but in good shape, so I have confidence that I can still wear my bikini. Have any of you gotten the linea negra/black line? I have a very small one below the belly b___ton, but not above at all! I was worried for a while that I would get all splotchy from being in the sun, but the sun god must like me bc I'm tanning nicely! Last week my midwife said the baby was head up, which 2 weeks before he/she was flipped. She said no worried though bc until they don't have the room to move they will move around like crazy! Then Friday I listened to the HB and the baby is head down again... actually a little sideways, b___t to the right top! Can anyone else feel the body parts now? My midwife explained what the b___t was 2 weeks ago and now I can tell when the b___t is moving around.. I love to play with the baby... push on my belly and the baby moves and so on! If it makes anyone feel better, I am due 8/5 and working until 8/1... end of the month for my job is the time to make the most money, so I won't miss out on that if I can help it! Also, I only get 12 weeks off and don't want to take any time off to be home alone, when I could have the full 12 weeks with the baby! Who else has to go back to work like me? Damn economy... husband has a great job, but they don't do raises as often due to this economy c___p! I wish I didn't have to go back so soon, but I am lucky that I work out of my home... I travel alot, but can plan my schedule and not have to do full time day care... my friends and mom will be dividing the duties for a few months so I can adjust slowly to work and being away from the baby....
Sorry this is so long, but haven't chatted for a while!

ummm, casey just made me pee my pants!! only a drop but seriously?? I had just peed and I sat down and she kicked so hard pee came out, I couldn't stop it! I have lots to complain about today!! but first, mommam, sorry to hear about you're scare but glad everything is fine. I think it's funny Erin you're so worried about being so small. I'm being told the same thing, that I'm tiny for 30 weeks, but it makes me happy!! I know casey is fine, she's got like total ADD in there already! she is a major mover and shaker! ok, I'm going to catch up on the posts and come back to complain some more :)

I plan on working up to the day if possible. I only get 6 weeks paid and i really can't afford to take anymore so I don't want to be off and not have my baby home with me. Oh Patti I meant to tell you looking for a new car can be fun. But I know how stressful it can be too. Good luck!

patti, we had the most beautiful weather all weekend long but today is terrible. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your trip and I'll keep you updated daily ok?? I can feel her body parts all the time, I can actually see them sticking out too, it's so wierd. and erin, Ruby the puppy is a cavalier king charles spaniel. who I'm mad at today by the way. we FINALLY moved into our master bedroom yesterday since we finally have walls and paint and it's clean. so it was very exciting. but me and mike both had the worst night sleep last night. partly b/c it was an unfamiliar room, but Ruby was so confused by the room switch and kept us up practically the whole nigth. I'm a zombie today! I did finally take a picture that I will post onto myspace this week, I will let you know when I get around to it - I'm just rarely on the comp once I get home from work. and Erin, sorry to hear you missed a weekend with hubby :( you poor lonely ladies!! I am planning on working unil 2 weeks before my due date so 2 weeks into July - but who knows if I'll make it that long. I'm really starting to slow down and be uncomfy

Glad to hear that the house reno's are coming along! Do you think you guys willbe close to finishing by the time Casey shows?? I am glad to hear the weather is holding, I would loev an update from you!! We leave on Monday, so here is keeping fingers crossed that the weather will hold.

As for the whole car thing.. uugh. Normally I would be really happy and excited about it, but I am just worried about having a car payment on Mat leave. Our mat leave - although it is a year long, we only get 55% of our wage on it, which I knwo is better than nothing by far, but I own my car outright now and I am scared of the payment. I was thinking about a SUV as it would be really nice to have all the room for all the stroller and stuff and the dog, but the fuel costs are so rediculous right now, and with hubby having a big 1 ton diesel that he drives for work, it was nice having a nice economic car as well. I really like the VW Jetta's as well , so I am going to go check them out at lunch today.What kind did you get Gabby??

48th and what avenue patti?? do you know?? you're in midtown so that's good, nice and central location. we actually got 2 new cars b/c we only had one having just moved from the city - and it was a 2 door and totally impractical for a baby. mike actually got the jetta and I got an Xterra. well, the renovations are coming along, we will be done with most of the major stuff hoepfully before august. not sure about the kitchen though as those tend to cost tens of thousands to redo and I'm not sure we're financially ready for that yet. but considering where we started with the house it has come a LONG way!

afternoon ladies! it is soooooo hot here right now! and our stupid air conditioner is broken! ahhhh. we sold our old car and got a few hundred for it, so that helps a little, and yesterday chloe didn't move hardly at all and freaked me out, but decided that she wanted to be a night owl last night, lol. my legs are restless especially the left one around 7 and after. it sucks. i am so ready for her to come out, but i know it won't be safe for at least 5 more weeks, im 31 wks friday. but i bet like anything she's close to 4 lbs already.her rolls hurt soo badly, not the kicks, its her rolls. does anyone else notice that? her little knees and elbows hurt! i want to take a nap, but its so hot in here....

Glad you are going to the doc Alicia. I will be thinking about you. I don't know why I am saying this now, because she's probably already gone. Gabby, oh elusive one! I know it's stupid to be concerned about the small belly. Isn't it weird that Patty, Gabby and myself are all being told the same thing? Lord knows its not because I'm not gaining weight! Gabby, you better post that d__n pregnancy picture, now that we're almost done being pregnant. Slacker!!!! (I kid, I kid) Do you have any pics of the house? I love to see renovations. I, obviously, have a momma-mobile (minivan). Can't do without it. But it's a Dodge Grand Caravan and kinda c___ppy. If I could do it again, I would get like a Honda or Toyota, but at the time those were WAAAAYYYY outta our price range. Keep in mind future babies Patty, though. How easy would a big clunker car seat fit in the middle of the backseat when there's a big clunker one next to the window in a VW? Not very well! Just sayin...:-) Danielle, Creedence had me totally freaked out on Saturday. I forget sometimes how much I actually move in a day, so I will finally stop and then freak out because I haven't felt her move that much. Knock on wood, she hasn't hurt me with her moves except for that one time when I'm thinking she flipped breech. Every now and again there will be either a foot or a knee or a elbow that sticks out in my upper right side, but I am telling ya'll, she is so chill compared to my last baby that it makes me a nervous wreck. In my mind I'm like, what if the cord is knotted and she is not moving because she's not getting enough oxygen and blood and then she's going to be born with some defect. That's how my paranoid mind works.
