I too Danielle am having an issue with the whole travelling thing coming up. My brother just flew in from Hawaii to work right up near our cabin for the month of July at an airbase there and his wife is coming out on the 13th of july till the 1st of Aug, then they head home. Well he is pushing me that they really want to spend time with me and hubby and that they want me to go to the cabin once she arrives, but at that point I will be 38 weeks pregnant and it is about 5 hours away and if I go into labour there, the hospital is a rinky dinky small town one and I don't want to deliver there. I want to be here at home and where my dr will be. He seems to be ticked about it. I told him to take a week and come down to see us here once he is done work. We have a lake and a cabin here too, so they can do all the same stuff. Feels like he think s I am being selfish, but I think I am going stay stubborn on this one. I don't imagine she willcome early, BUT if she does, I want to be ready. Does that sound reasonable to you guys?? Or am I being selfish??

Thanks erin.... I am trying to stay positive its just really hard. And I may call and see if they can better explain some things to me. It just really pulls on my heart. I am hoping the doctor can say something Thursday that will make me feel better. Patti- Heck no I wouldn't go. And I can't believe he is mad at you either...That is way close... But i am like i said a super sissy. I prob wont even go to a friends baby shower bcuz she is having it A) outside B) in July C) Its a pool party..... I dont think so... I'll send a gift card....lol

Ok good. I was feeling like I was doing the right thing, but feeling bad too. Hubby wants to go up to his uncles resort which is about three hours away for a few days,so I told him that since I am done work Friday, maybe we could go up next week for a couple days - as long as after my dr appt tomorrow she gives me the go ahead- and then once we get back from there, that is it. I want to stick close to home. He agreed, so I guess if my brother wants to see me, he will have to come my way this time.Hmmph... that was me being stubborn!! :) I have been having worry attacks when she moves like crazy lately. I am terrified of some sort of cord accident and that her moving so much means she is in distress. It just seems liek she has kicked into high gear this past week. But she always settles and is just fine. Is this worry normal- are any of you feeling it as well or am I being crazy??

You shouldn't even ask that question. I know I can speak for Alicia, as well as myself, when I say we are all probably little worry warts lately. I had the same thought yesterday when she was moving a whole bunch-what if the cord is compressed or she's got it around a body part?! I always freak myself out in the morning because apparently when I wake up she is still snoozing. I don't feel her until later on. But every morning without fail, I freak out and check her heartbeat (with the monitor I was supposed to only keep until I felt her move-yeah, that one)

yes erin you can speak for me and say I am a worry wart but honestly I havent even thought about the cord being wrapped around him... ( just another thing to add to my worry list...lol) because I have been so consumed with the GD thing. I am just toren to pieces inside right now... I know Thursday the doc is going to think I am a nut when I start to cry in the office like a mad woman....

thanks gals - glad to know it is a normaloccurance for all of us! And Alicia - don't start to worry about anything else! You are at you rlimit! And I am sure your dr has seen it all before with the tears and such -tough luck if he doesn't like it! You are worried about your child - that is fair. Darn it I cry at the commercial that has little monkey caught in a bear trap. At the blink of an eye I cry lately. Erin - I too was supposed to send the dopller back ohhhh about four months ago.. I even went as far as packing it up the other day into it's box to send, and then I freaked out at not being able to listen to her whenever i wanted to, so I took it back out and put it back in it's spot. I know myslef and I wont actually send it back until after she is home from the hospital. Lord knows.. I may still want to check her when she is here!! Obsesive!! :)

Haha, speaking of commercials-me and hubby were watching something and a commercial with Sarah McLaughlin singing "Arms of an Angel" in the background came on. It was about abandoned and abused animals. Anyways, my husband looks at me and said "You can't be serious" I had tears streaming down my face. I am an easy crier lately too! This is kinda funny too-last night I went to kill off the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. Well, I opened the freezer and it was GONE! Well, in true Erin fashion I started hollering and b___hing up a blue streak. My stepdad was on the phone with my mom and I heard him say "uh-oh, you're in trouble Kim". When my mom came home she brought home 2 different kinds of ice cream because she was scared to come home empty handed. You don't mess with me and my yummy treats! Of course I need to lay off the yummy treats before my fat face explodes. :-)

Lol!! Erin I can just picture you standing there at the freezer with your belly hollering about the missing in action ice cream!! Lol!! Too funny! I am thinking I am going to have to get a milkshake at lunch from somewhere. It seems to actually help with the heartburn, so anything will be good right now. Gabbi- do you find that with the swollen ankles and calves that you have no feeling in them where they are swollen?? My lower calves really have no feelings in them when they get past about 10am. So weird.

Erin me 2. That is how i got my fatty daisey duke. We had gone to Louisa ky ( dani knows where that is) for a family reunion and we stayed in some cabins. Well there was this little kitten and she was all alone so I asked the care taker where her mom/family was and he said a dog ate killed her mom and here bro and sis. So i was like OMG. I had a cat dixie mae at home and she was the smae crazy colors so I asked if I could have her and she said yes. Well the truck ride home was my dad and brother up front, my mom, me and my friend jennifer in the back. My dad was not having a cat in his truck so he told us we had to put her in a box in the back. So we found a box and out it in the back... With out the cat. We kept her under a blanket till we stopped half way ( 4hrsish) to get gas and my lil bro ( who was onn my dads side/ no cats in the truck) saw the box was gone... He almost started to cry thinking he killed my cat and she blew out somewhere down the road... Till I raised the blanket and she was laying there alseep... It was pretty funny... Oh and when she was a kitchen she had really bad gas... So everytime she farted I had to say it was me.... Interesting car ride.... LOL... Sorry it was long but im bored...

lol, you all are hilarious! yep i know where louisa is, thats where my dad lives. it is so out in the country it makes where i live a big city! and my town has maybe 1500 people in it. but i've only been there like 1 time. too far to drive, and my dad comes down here a lot so i don'thave to go there. ok, i am gonna sound incredibly insane, but sometimes peeing is as good as an orgasm right now! lmao! my husband heard me peeing the other night and had to peep in cuz i was making noises, cuz it felt sooooo good to relieve my bladder! he started cracking up! i told him its not funny, try being this pregnant and having someone just kick your bladder at random times making it almost impossible to hold it in! so thats my funny story of the day.

heyyyyyy ladies! figures, the day I'm too busy to chat much you guys are chatty!! I HATE that commercial, I start screaming for mike to change the channel when it comes on. there's one for like seals or polar bears too that I just cannot watch, pregnant or not! patti, I kinda know how you feel, they get a little numb. my stomach feels that way too. I've also become super itchy the last few days, we're going to the doc tomm so I'm going to ask them about both things and I'll let you know.
erin, I've been adding stuff to your package!! I can't wait to send it to you! anyway...alicia, I got your message and I will send you my number. maybe you can make a list and then email it to everyone so we all have it?? I have 2 weeks of work left after this one, but I also promise to come on regularly, I anticipate I'm going to be pretty bored with nothing much to do for 3 weeks waiting for my due date. we are going down the shore for a week though when I'm 38 weeks - mike's family rents a house in cape may NJ which is the southernmost tip on NJ surrounded by the atlantic ocean. it's about 2 hours away so I'm not too too worried, if I start to have contractions or anything we'll start to head home, I'm sure my labor is going to be more than 2 hours!! but patti, I totally agree with you about not wanting to go that far that late, bro should come to you. you are not at all being selfish! erin, I throw hissy fits when some food I've been thinking about eating is not where it was when I last saw it. I do that pregnant or not! that's the worst when you start thinking you're going to eat something and you go and get it and it's GONE!! my mom is at my house today watching the pup and doing some cleaning of my house for me - we had chinese food last night and I didn't eat my egg drop soup, my mom loves it too so I hid it in the fridge so she didn't see it and call me to see if she could eat it! I'm so selfish! I couldn't say no to her but I did NOT want her eating my soup!!! so I hid it :)

Well speaking of wanting something and it not being there!!! Ugh, I could march down to Officemax and start raising holy hell right now. Okay, so I wanted subway because I like to get a turkey sandwich with lots of pickles, a rootbeer, cheetos and TWO chocolate chip cookies. Well the b___ds at Officemax CLEARED out the Subway cookie supply. So my meal is incomplete. I was so p__sed off! Oh and Gabbi, I can't wait for you to send it too!! ;-)
