Girl if I had my lunch i would of ate it... I am starting to hate this diet. I want to eat a lil something when I want to but I feel like I ahve to follow this thing to the T. I did get a list of fast food things I could eat and come an hour and a half my b___t is going to Mcdonalds for a cheese burger and small fries....LOL. I'm not sure if it;s weird to worry. I guess I can't really say because I have seen Mason so many times I know for sure he is a boy. But I could see where that would pose a problem if casey was a boy....

Morning ladies!! Thank goodness it is friday!! :) Belly - when I was there I lived in Nudle NSW for about a year - close to Tamworth, then I was up on a cattle station near Dingo QSLD. I did alot of travelling in between up the gold coast and LOVED it there!! I have been trying to convince hubby that we need to go out again, so maybe once baby is old enough we will go back and visit some friends out there. Alicia - sounds like Mason is going to be stylin fo sure!! Have to love hand me downs!! Glad that you got his room kinda sorted out. I think I have a pretty good handle on hers as well so far. Once I am done work, I will conentrate on finishing it up in the next few weeks. Gabbi- you FINALLY put a picture up???? Whoo hooo!! :) I don't want to post anymore because I just think I do n't even look liek myself anymore. It is supposed to be a smokin hot weekend here and hubby is gettting the boat out and wants to spend all weekend out on the lake, and normally I am all gung ho, but I just can't help feeling like I dont really want to. I don't want to sit in my bikini top and shorts and have eveyone stare at me. And to top it all off, last night I noticed that there is a small patch of streatch marks on the bottom of my belly on each side!!! WHAT!!! I thought I was doing so good. Where did they come from?? Now I am afraid that if I tan, they will get darker and then they will never dissapear.. Ugh, I am having my own little pitty party today. My feet hurt so much and I experienced that whole restless leg senario last night. Oh girls, I don't know how you have been dealing with that. How frusterating. Hubby came in and asked if I was feeling alright and I just burts into tears. Has to be the hormonal thing again right??only a few more weeks...only a few more weeks...

hey gals!! I am a major slacker today and have been on here all morning so far. all my patient's have been no-shows so it's been a good friday so far!! well thank you erin for the compliment, I just feel so gross. that's not even a maternity dress, I've found so many cute dresses in normal stores (that one's from anthropologie, my usual :) the style is so bohemian lately so it's like the absolute best time to be pregnant I think!! I'm glad Jo is being herself, hope everything is ok at the doc today! patti, isn't the restless leg the worst?? I got up and slept in the guest room again last night. I have a feeling that's going to be a normal occurance for the next 6 weeks. I just can't get comfy with mike and ruby in bed with stupid EPSN sportscenter playing in the background. it drives my crazy and I start to become an insane lady!

Gabbi- even though I have had three confrimations that she is in fact a girl, I still worry what if?? So I am thining that it is normal!! Don't worry, Casey will still be a girly!! Is the heartburn any better today?? Erin - glad to hear that Jo is acting normal again and hopefully you will get some answers as to what caused the swelling. As for the lunch thing.. yeah I had a huge bowl of cereal about an hour ago for breakie, have eaten my hidden stashed chocolate bar at work and a yogurt cup already and it is only 8:45AM!! What is wrong with me?? And in the same breath I ask you guys how come I have the start of streatch marks. And teh self pity continues...... sorry girls. :(

patti, that b__ws about the stretch marks. I'm free of them still, but I'm well aware that they can pop out at any moment. I was 2 weeks late and my mom didn't get any stretch marks until the last week. so that sucks for her b/c she wouldn't have gotten any if I had come on time. my mom drank castor oil and went into labor within 30 minutes, I was 10lbs, 7 oz and she had me v____ally within a total of 3 hours. I would love to have a birth like that, minues like 3 baby pounds!

Yep just 33 weeks... Would be nice if we were 34 though... Oh well. Patti you may want to call your doc about going out on the boat... Mine said it wasn't a good idea 1. if its a speed boat or if it hits the waves hard it could be harmful to the baby and 2 if its a pontune or whatever if something happenes to you and you have to go to the hospital then you are stcuk out there or whatever. See jeremy is going on a another house boat this weekend but I wont go since i heard it could be harmful. Just an FYI.

wow you were a big baby Gabbi!! Well here is hoping that casey comes on time and doesn't bring you any marks!! And yes, less about 3 pounds!! Stupid things, they definatley were not there the other day, and then it seems liek overnight they appeared. I am sure she is going through a growth spurt right now though because my belly feels huge and heavy and awkward lately. But she is so low, it looks like I have a huge beer gut!! Not really attractive I don't think! :)

Have any of you found that your babies favor one side of your belly more than the other?? She is headdown, but still lies on the the right side of my belly for the most part. I can always feel her arse right up under my right bb and most of her movements and kicks all come out that side of my body for the majority! Every once in a while I feel or see them out the left but for the msot part it is stil softer and squishy on the right side of my belly. Weird??

Well if it rains today he won't be going ( kinda crossing my fingers for rain) I jsut hate when he goes off and I am alone. He has all the fun and I just sit around...lol. But no plans for tonight. Just maybe do more laundry of Mason's so I can hang them up. Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut. I'm not telling how but it will be a shocker and Ive never done this before so kinda nervous but whatever, its just hair...lol. Then sat if it doesnt rain just go swimming and lay out by the pool. No plans Sunday but to relax and get ready for the week. Let me know what your doc says. Just kinda curious...

Aren't ya'll chatty this morning! Patti, if anything I would think the sun would help reduce the visibility of stretchmarks.....wait...maybe that's only true for older stretchmarks. I dunno, but I have them and have had them for a while, but like I said before, they are my old buddies from past pregnancies that are resurfacing. My sis got the HORRIBLY with her pregs, so I am thanking my lucky stars I have what I have. I notice mine when I turn from side to side in the mirror, they're just shiny lines. I agree with Alicia on the boat thing. It isn't advised, plus even if the water seems calm when you go out, if the wind kicks up it could make for a long trip back to shore trying to avoid going normal speed with the waves. When I was 20 some odd weeks we went on a four wheel drive beach and we had to go super slow because of the ruts, so that sucked for everyone. Well, anyways, Gabbi, two of the dresses I wear aren't maternity, but I really want a longer dress I can wear. SInce I only wear dresses due to the awful fit of maternity shorts, sometimes it gets windy and well, no one wants my dress to b__w up and see that sight. So I need a long one for windy days. Also, I have eaten Honey Nut Cheerios, a small slice of cheesecake and a plum so far and its 10:30. Let's not get down on ourselves! Patti, it seems I have subconsiously stopped taking my weekly photos as well. ;-)

Yummy.... Lunch was great. I went to Long John Silvers instead. I had a piece of fish and a hand full of fries and then my string cheese for protein... Kinda weird but it was good. I just spoke with Jeremy and we are doing pizza and a movie tonight... ( since I can eat 2 slices of pizza) I am really excited... I love to cuddle on the couch and watch movies....

I just talked to my dr and she said that given the "Lake" we go to is actually a really samll lake and doesn't get rough because of the size, if I go and we just cruise and/or lay on the back to get some sun I should be fine. Bu t yes, she def said no high speed chases across the lake! And we are close to the city if anything were to happen, we would have good access to get in there. So we will see, but I would be just as happy to take my lawn chair and sit it in the water up to my waist and just veg!! That way the belly is kinda disguised under water too and no one has to look at it!! Alicia -a re you usinga special detergent to wash all of Mason's clothes in or just what you normally use for you and jeremy?? I have heard both sides to that one. Erin that makes sense about the sun decreasing the sight of stretch marks, but I wonder if that willwork for new fresh ones as well?? maybe I could call a dermatologist adn see what they say??

Patti- Yes we use deft or something like that.... Its a litlle more expensive but what the heck, if they say I should I do...lol. Thats good to hear about the boat. I hope you have fun. I have some stretch marks on my b___bs and when I tan like in a tanning bed they go away. That's why i always stay tan. You can barely see them when I am dark. So I know soon as Mason is out and I get the Okay, I'm heading to the tanning bed. Plus since I have so much water I look like I am having twins and I ahve them on my belly. It sucks but whatever. No one is perfect..
