hey girls... I hope everyone had a good long weekend... Mine was okay. Always something going on. On the 4th we didnt do much. We went to eat at Hooters ( i wanted cheese fries) and it was sooooo good. Oh and I had fried pickles too... My legs were really swollen though...lol. And on sat I had bad pain in my bikini area so I had to go to L&D and they couldnt figure out what is was but Mason is fine and when they checked me I was 30% effaced and it made me start having contraction so they had to give me a shot. Which sped my heart rate up and I hate that kinda stuff so much. then sunday i went to a baby shower outside and sweat my a$$ off....But there was cake so not too bad...lol

i get pains down there a lot lately, and i think me playing badminton yesterday made her drop cuz i kept feeling her move in my hairline area a lot! my feet were so swollen after playing i think i could have poked a hole into them and watched stuff come out, lol.

Hello peaches! How are you feeling now Alicia? July 4th kinda sucked here-there was a ban on fireworks because of lack of rain. My son was kinda bummed. I pretty much ate all weekend, which is nothing unusual I suppose. Danielle, sweetheart, I am totally with you on the RLS. Last night was WHOREABLE!!! And all that frustration was amplified by waking up literally ever hour to freaking pee. And my hips hurt d__nit! It hurts so bad to lay on my sides and then when I get up I creak and crack and pop in all kinds of fun places. Hubby came home for the weekend, so that was rad. I cried like a baby when he left. He goes offshore next weekend, so we won't be seeing him for a while. :-( Gabbi, I was expecting you to say you threw your pants off the roof! You are SO effing lucky this week is your last week. \-\ That's how much I wanna work right now. Goodness, look at me complain this morning.

I am much better ty! So i totally screwed myself. Last week ya'll was saying you weren't sleeping well and I opened my big mouth and said I sleep fine... HA that ended on Thursday night. I am so sore and I too crack everytime I wake up to pee or whatever. Plus my back is hurting so bad. It sucks...

ugh, i can't even get to sleep! thats the problem! i can almost deal with the getting up every hour to pee like i did with the other two but NOOOO i can't even get to sleep, i was crying in the middle of the night cuz i couldn't sleep. it was bad. lets all just have a complain day, lol. i swear she dropped down last night, lol. i had movements in the strangest places and she was ACTIVE for a long time after we got home, jamey said all my energy went to her after playing badminton. our neighbors kept laughing cuz i'd be like OH ugh, and all those words when id have to move to fast, lol. they said u aren't supposed to make a pregnant woman say those things, lmao!!!

Danielle, have you talked to your doc about the RLS? I might ask mine about it on Thursday. I have to turn on the TV (for some unexplained reason) to get any kind of sleep. So last night I could hear the Deadliest Catch in the back of my dreams all night. I am so anxious to nest, but I can't because I have to surrender my room to guests from the 16th to the 20th. So I can't put the crib up until after they leave. Kinda sucks. Danielle, I had thought Cree had dropped, but it was just wishful thinking! She is up in my lungs when I try to lay down. Wonder how Patti-kins is doing.....

ok, I'm in for a complain day. I don't even know where to start. I'm so uncomfortable - my body, my clothes, everything. I'm literally peeing every 30- minutes when I'm awake, and waking up every 2 hours at night - I am falling back to sleep so far thank god. hopefully I won't be like alicia and jinx myself now. and...I know you guys want to know, I've pooped 4 times already today and it's only 11 am. this is ridiculous. yesterday me and mike were "attempting" s-e-x. it took us like 1/2 hour to get comfortable and stop laughing - anyway, I have no idea if he knows what he talking about, but he said "my hole" looked much bigger than usual. sorry guys, I know you don't need to know this - but it excited me to think I started dialating. I KNOW it doesn't mean labor is emminent, but it still excited me. I have a doc appointment tonight and I'll start to be checked so I'll let you guys know!! I know I'm lucky that this is my last week of work, but I'm not even excited b/c I can't even fathom how I'm going to make it through this week!! me going to work is not like getting in a car and sitting down at a desk. I have to get on a bus into the city, walk down 42nd street which is a ridiculously busy touristy block, then get started at by everyone (people look at me like I'm walking around nude, like they've never seen a f'ing pregnant lady before), then I have to take a subway, walk another block to work, and then run around the hospital all day meeting patient's. I want to cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I seriously don't know how I will want to do this again, I told mike again we're adopting the rest of our kids.

yeah it seems its just us 3 and an occasional poster sometimes, lol. yeah i might ask thursday. i just hate taking stuff for things like that cuz it makes the baby so much less active. and then im paranoid. i have asthma and sinuses too, so thats my breathing problems, sometimes i feel like i just stop breathing which freaks me out. i can take a nap in the day but i can't sleep at night, go figure. i tried not taking one to see if i could sleep but nope, i still didn't sleep, so i just lost sleep that day. my feet are hurting today.... and still swollen from last night. and do u have problems with ur hands falling asleep at night and going numb? she told me to get a wrist splint thing, but i am broke and i can't right now. i did buy some stuff for baby the other day with money my dad gave me, i got a bathtub and some blankets, green adn yellow, lol, diapers, wipes, diaper bag. my MIL bought a swing and bouncer at a yardsale. so i have almost everything now. just waiting to see if its really a girl. we picked out a name for a boy just in case. Justice James. james after my brother and justice was jameys uncles name that got killed when he was 21. not real found of that name, sounds funny cuz the only one i ever knew was a really old man, lol. but thats ok.

poor gabbi! lol. we had s_x for the first time in a month the other day, so needless to say it wasn't so good for me, it lasted a whole 2 minutes! lmao! i get checked thursday woohoo. maybe i'll have progressed and shell go on and do the induction next week! that would be awesome since my hubby is on shutdown and he wouldn't have to miss work...

sorry you all had so-so july 4th weekends. mine was good, we didn't do anything special though - i'm just happy when I'm home with mike. we had all these bbq invites, but I didn't want to do anything. on saturday, mike and I got into a stupid fight - I can't even remember what about - and I started hysterically crying and literally hyperventilated and couldn't breath. it was scary, mike was bugging out b/c he didn't know what to do besides give me a paper bag which didn't help. obviously since I'm here typing I got out of it alive :) it was right before we were leaving to go to Lowes (we bought black granite to re-do our downstairs bathroom floor - I'm so exctied!) but anyway, we thought I killed casey when I hyperventilated b/c she hadn't moved in a hour or so and that's unusal for her (my child is a major wiggle worm lately). and everything I tried to do wouldn't wake her up, eventually she moved thank god and hasn't stopped since. I thought movement was supposed to lessen at this point. she's a move and shaker all day long!

gabbi, i have been in numerous fights and hyperventilated many times while pregnant, it won't hurt your baby, but i guess it makes them sleepy cuz mine always gets really quiet after a fight too. my 4th was pretty good. we watched fireworks at the river and last night grilled out and played badminton, good exercise, lol just funny to watch me play! and we set off fireworks last night. dang it im tired tho. sleep would be good. haha. just a few more weeks!!!!yay!!!!

Gabbi, unfortunately the 'hole' that needs to get bigger probably isn't visible to Mikey-boy, unless he had a speculum handy! Your cervix is up yonder a ways. But hopefully you are dilated, nontheless. We attempted s_x, or something like it, this weekend too. I really hate to say it, but I HATE it!!! He started out on top which feels like it's squishing the baby and I always get a side cramp even though I'm not doing any thing. So we went to the from behind method and all I could think was "Jesus, hurry up man!" And then I proceeded to bawl my eyes out afterwards. Why you might ask.....no reason! No reason at all. My hormones have been crazy, but bless Carl, because finally on the fourth pregnancy has he learned enough to just hug and kiss me and say everything's okay. In his head he's probably thinking "what loon has replaced my wife?" Oh yeah, I just got a call from him and he is going offshore today! So maybe since he's going off a bit earlier, he'll be home a bit earlier. Fingers crossed.

oh erin, that would be great! I hope carl doesn't miss birth!! oh F, I was excited, I believed I dialated when Mike said that - goes to show how clueless I am :) s_x is the most ridiculous thing this pregnant. it literally takes us 1/2 hour to get going, we laughed our a__ses off yesterday - I kept farting when we were trying to get ready b/c I was laughting so hard, then I had my leg up on the night table and then got a charlie horse!!!

don't even ask how we ended up getting it to work. I felt like a p___n star. I mean who else besides a 9 month pregnant lady gets a charlie horse while having s_x and has to stop to get up and walk around!!

That's freakin highlarious Gabbi! You guys sound like you get pretty darn creative, so kudos to you. I'm like hurry up and get it over with. lol.

thats good erin that hes leaving earlier! gabbi, you are hilarious! lol. i've gotten charlie horses even when i wasn't pregnant, so has he, lol. i just told him the other day i wanted his spermies so i could maybe get things going down there, he just looked at me, lol. quite funny.
