So I am off to Louisville, KY for a week of training for my company. After much contemplation... I am going to travel at 32 weeks. My midwife says that I am perfectly healthy and just to walk around as much as possible and drink lots of water when flying! Anyways, it's either go now to this training or go once I get back from maternity leave... I couldn't see leaving my baby for 5 days when he or she is 4 months old! So with much trepidation and anxiety, I am going! The nice thing is that they put us up at a really nice hotel... great beds and a nice gym, so atleast I can still get my daily miles in... I have a dog that gets walked daily and I need that help with circulation! Is anybody else noticing the feet swelling yet??? It just started for me last weekend! By the end of the day my toes look like little weenies from beanies and weenies cans! YUCK! So I opted to pack mostly pants instead of my usual capris, so nobody has to see my Cankles! Anyway, I will have my laptop and be reading up on everyone, but wish me luck with this flying c___p and sitting in training for 8 hours a day!

Morning everyone.... Hope ya'll had a great weekend. Mine was good. we had the shower saturday and it was hot but we worked through it. We had a great crowd and got a sh*t load of stuff. Most people bought us stuff that wasn't on our reg but we still got a ton of good stuff. I was pleased. I am kinda having a scared night/day. Since my fluid is so high I don't feel many of his moves and kicks and it just freaks me out. Last night he didn't move much then this morning I was awakended my a bad/sharpe pain in my back and then my entire stomach started to hurt like a bad cramp. It lasted for about a minute and I was tring to move around thinking I was laying wrong but nothing helped. It just started to lighten up and went away. I just had one but IDK what the heck it was. I am just so worried about this fluid thing. I was supose to check my blood everyday but I cant get my stupid machine to work so im go to my grannys and get her to look at it today. Hoepfully i can get her to check it for me. Anyways Im rambling......

thank you all. I know i am almost 33 wks pregnant but if i hear one more person tell me to sit down or take care of myself, or all the other things they keep saying because i am upset, i think i might lose it. they make me feel like i can't mourn my brother. even if by some freak chance this stress caused me to go into labor, she has an awesome chance of being just fine. I don't want it to happen at all but i am not gonna sit and act like nothing happened. my lil brother was protective of me, and he's let me live with him before and i just feel like its a really bad dream i can't snap out of. I love him so much and i have visitation today and don't know how i am gonna make it through and tomorrow is his funeral. i keep seeing him laying thre lifeless. it was the most awful thing ive ever seen. and every time i wake up i see him laying there. please please pray for me and my poor mom, shes just lost, i know she has 6 other kids but it doesn't take away her pain of losing a child and i am hurting this bad, i can't imagine what shes going through. i went with her and my dad and stepparents to the funeral home yesterday adn she lost it when she had to pick out his casket. i just can't think straight anymore and i need help. i haven't cleaned my house, i spent almost 2 full days away from my kids and husband, and hes been really supportive and hates this. he lost his uncle, who was his age, so basically his brother cuz he lived with him with his grandparents. he lost him in a car accident. he said he wishes i never had to feel this pain. please just pray for us.

Hellloo mommas!! Long time no talk!! Seems like I have been gone forever!! You guys went through TWO threads!! Wow!! New York was a blast!! Gabby – I am sooo sorry I missed you – my cell wouldn’t let me access any of my voicemail from there, so I didn’t get your message until we landed back in Calgary. My hubby laughed at me there because I was watching for you! Lol! I told him to keep his eyes open for a pretty brunette that was as pregnant as me – and it might be you. He shook his head and said “ do you really think you will pick her out of all these people?? “ There is my small town mentality coming out I guess! The trip was fantastic and the weather was beautiful, but holy c___p Gabby, how in the world do you deal with all those people everyday?? I come from a town of 500 people and the closest city is about 150,000.!! Wow, NY was a huge culture shock for this country girl!! But so much fun! I was hospitalized though for a day the day we got back, because of the huge amounts of swelling in my feet and ankles. I could barely walk by the time we returned. My feet were soo swollen to the point that they were about 6 times the normal size. The dr’s admitted me to Antepartum/Fetal a__sessment ward immediately and did tons of bloodwork tests and ultrasounds of my legs and veins and ruled out everything from pre-eclampsia, to high bloodpressure to blood clots. So I have a clean bill of health and they figure that the flying and all the walking was what did all the damage. The swelling has relaxed a bit now and I can get flip-flops on again, so it is getting better. But at least they did all kinds of tests and I know that I am in good health and they monitored baby for a few hours and she is happy healthy as well, so that is a huge relief. We had fun, but we both agree that we will not do another trip like that pregnant again. It was so hard to do so much walking all day and not be able to do everything that we would normally do. But our hotel was right off Broadway and 48th Gabby, so it was nice and central to everything. I have to go and read all the posts and see what you crazy cats have been up too this past week. My desk looks like I was gone for a month not a week and I only have three weeks to get everything in order to go on mat leave, so it is going to go by fast I hope!! I can’t believe we are under 8 weeks max till we get to meet our little ones!! Hope everyone is well and happy!!  Good to be back!

Oh and I turned the big 30 yesterday and let me tell ya... it sucked the big one watching everyone else have drinks and fun on my 30th and I couldn't even drown my sorrows about the whole age thing. But at least sweatpea kept me company all day. I still can't beleive I have left my twenties behind me now forever. I am having a hard time with it all I think. :(

Danielle, I am very sorry for your loss. I am praying for you and your family. I know that no words can possibly bring you the kind of comfort you probably need right now, but we are all here for you for whatever you might need.

I feel akward coming on here and posting after Danielle's tragedy, but I would like to say welcome back Patti. You were definitely missed dear. Visit to hubby was grand, except for sharing a double bed with a 6ft5in man and being at work now straight from driving 3 hours from Houston. We spent some really good quality time with the kids. It kinda made me realize how little one on one time I spend with them on the weekends because I am so busy trying to keep my mother's house clean. I might need to re-evaluate that situation. Alicia, so glad you got some rad stuff. Any extras and send 'em this way (wait, you're having a boy-nevermind) :-> Oh yeah, one more thing, Creedence has been getting the hiccups before I go to sleep and I have been feeling them down low, so maybe she righted herself (or never flipped in the first place!-who knows) Gabby, it is like 95 degrees + here amounted with tons and tons of humidity so, as my husband describes it, it's like walking into milk when you walk outside. It's gonna be a sucky summer, as far as weather is concerned. Well, I'm gonna do some work right quick so I can go home and sleep! Love you guyses

Danielle- Honey I know it is hard trust me. I still ahve a hard time talking about my Dad with out getting emotional. I had to be the rock for my momthrough the entire funeral arrangements and made most of the decsion because my mom was in no place of mind too. Luckly I could take a nice lil blue pill and it helped my nerves so very much. Biut honey it feels like yesterday walking with my mom, holding her up as we picked out caskets for my dad. I know death is never and easy and its never understood. But WE are all here for u and u can talk and vent as much as u like. so just let any of us know if u need anything... oh and i finally got my blood sugar machine to work... it was 134 this morning after 2 hrs of eating breakfast.

Doesn't seem like we did...lol. I got most of the stuff put away but still ahve to organize it all... Patti you were very missed....

Okay, she has the hiccups now and they are higher up. I feel is about an inch Northwest of my belly b___ton. Maybe that's her tummy jumping. Suppose it could be. Whatever, as long as she comes out one way or another healthy, I don't care if she's breech. Alicia, maybe this will help them get to the bottom of this shanagins, even if your blood sugar is a little high, it might be affecting something.

Thankyou gals for the warm welcome back!! Mommam - glad to hear your shower went well and Mason got a good haul!! :) Very excting!! Erin - so glad to hear that you had some good quality time with hubby and the kids. I always found it neat how much more I appreciate my time with hubby when we are apart for so long and how things that seem really big to me before are really not so important after all. I think the old saying really does hold some truth to the absence makes the heart grow fonder. Do you have to check your blood everyday Alicia?? Erin, do you think that Cree is moving and flipping still? Do they still have room for that?? I think that sweatpea is actually sideways. I feel all her movements on the sides. I think I have another U/S on wed, so I will see then I guess.

Patti- I have to check it every morning before I eat then after each meal. So 4 times a day... I had a coke this morning so I am guessing that is why it is high... But we shall see what it says in another 1hr or so. Mason has picked up his moving today. He wasnt moving as much yesterday but he is playing around more now....

That sounds liek a pain to have to check so often, does it hurt?? I guess it is irrelevant if it means all is ok with little Mason. These little stinkers sure seem to likE to keep us guessing as to their movements and such heY! Does anyone else have any small cramps lately?? I ahve been feeling some the last few days.They are really really mild, but there. I am going to ask my dr on wed, but just curious if any of you have any as well.
