hello pregnant mommies.... I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was fine. I am getting super tired and so glad that last Thursday was my last day. Idk how I could get up this morning and actually make it to work on time. I am so sore all over my body and I just want to cry sometimes... but I guess it will be over soon enough. I kind of wish I didn't know what day he would come like you guys because know that I know I can sit here and think about the c section and just freak myself out. But if i didn't know then I would be more concerned with when then who he would becoming. So i guess it's a catch 22. Oh well. i have nothing to do today besides some small laundry and watch some tv. so i will be on in a few to talk. Danielle, good luck at the doctors today.

im baaack. lol. well i guess last time i was only a fingertip, which i thought was 1 cm but apparently not, i am now 1 cm she said and my cervix has shortened and softened. so she said i made progress and if i don't have her on my own i am going to be induced for sure on the 30th. but i am actually bleeding a little after my exam, which i normally don't do. she wasn't anymore invasive than last time adn i didn't bleed a drop. or the time before that, the only time i did and it was brown the next day was when they did it at the hospital and they were really aggressive and i got checked 2 times in a row. ouch. but i progressed a little and maybe this is bloody show, lol. that would be nice. wow its quiet on here lately. where has erin been i miss her!

here I am!!! and still totally pregnant :) I don't think it's happening anytime soon either! alicia, OMG!! you're having a baby on friday????? that's incredible, I'm so happy for you. I'm doing pretty good considering how pregnant I am, but I have a cold and a sore throat so that's making me pretty mizzz. so, I was missing b/c Mike had to go to the Hamptons for business (tip of Long Island) so I went with him last minute and got in some more beach time. sorry I left you ladies guessing!! and patti, that's awesome you're progressing so well!! I go to the doc tomm and I'm not expecting anything. I just think she's going to be late. I think I think this way b/c I still feel pretty good. I mean, since I'm not working all day I'm doing well, it was that long day that was killing me, I have so much more energy now - well aside from my cold. how is everyone else feeling???

ok, i am worried now. i went to the bathroom again and i had little clot things that were dark red, like you have when ur having a period. im not bleeding heavily, just pink but i had those little clot things that were dark red. kinda worried. i wish erin was on today, shes had babies before, and so have i but i dno't remember doing this with the others. i never bleed after exams or s_x. unless they are really aggressive but she wasn't.

danielle, call the doc if you're worried! at this point, who cares if they think you're being silly!! I just uploaded a couple pics of casey's nursery on photobucket! it's still a mess, I haven't nested yet! I took some tylenol cold medicine, is that ok to keep taking?

Helllo ladies. I'm still here too, still as pregnant as ever. I have 5 days to get this baby outta me before they induce...ahhhh. I've been having what I think are light contractions, but who knows, maybe they have just been strong BH. I can't tell. I've also been getting another weird symptom, I keep getting really dizzy, like my equillibrium is off or something. Not like I'm going to faint, but its like the room is spinning. Anyone else getting this? I called the OB clinic and they said it sounds like a normal pregnancy symptom. Sure doesn't FEEL normal! Anyway, hope you ladies are holding up ok...not too much longer!

Heya ladies!! Sorry fir the late post.. we have been super busy today. We finished building our deck out back and stained the whole thing today. Phew... that was hot and hard work, but now it is done and ready before missy arrives which is what we wanted. But I am pooped. Gabbi!! Glad to hear from you!! I am glad you are feeling so good and as for the tylenol cold - my doc said a while back when I asked if it was ok and she said yes, so I am sure it is fine. I am gonna check out Casey's nursery. I will get some of mine posted on there soon too!! Danielle - did you call about the bleeding?? After my check on monday - doc warned me that Iw ould mostly likely bleed a bit for the next day and I did, but it has stopped. She said it was becasue our cervix is so soft now and sensitive and there is so much more blood flowing there that causes the bleeding. Preggo - glad to hear you are doing good too!! Soon soon!!! As for me, I am feeling really good, haven't had any more contractions really this week, and aside from menstral type cramps no other real pains. Pressure from her sitting so low, but not unbearable be any means. I go back to doc tomarrow ( seems like I live there now!!) so we will see what she finds. I know I probably won't be any further dilated due to the scar tissue thing, but I have a bunch of questions for her about that and if my water will break on it's own or what?? I still think she is going to come later in the month or into aug. You know, and really I am kinda already knowing that I am going to miss being pregnant once she is born. I love feeling my belly and feeling her move in there and as much as I will love being able to hold her, there is still a small part of me that really want's to cherish these last weeks.Any one else?? Well, I am gonna go eat, talk to you all tomarrow!!

the bleeding has pretty much stopped. i wasn't worried about the pink it was the clot things i was worried about. but its mainly brown now. preggo, i get kinda dizzy sometimes and don't know why. even when im not pregnant! but worse when i am. oh and patti i always miss being pregnant after i have the baby. especially the first week or so, cuz ur just so used to feeling the baby. but at the same time my back is hurting so badly that i can't wait for her to get her.

Good evening everyone! Danielle, I am glad the bleeding has subsided and had I been on here earlier, I would have told you probably not to worry! Preggo, just outta curiousity, why are they going to induce you when your baby is so small to begin with? Wouldn't they rather her get as big as possible, or is do they just think she would fare better in the outside world? I am trying to keep Creedence in as long as possible.....the panic of her coming even a day early is overwhelming! I have been stressed to the max the past few days. Carl is out in the Gulf of Mexico where that tropical depression Dolly is headed and I keep missing his phone calls and I can't call him back. It's driving me crazy. I made no progress this past Thursday from the Thursday before. We did a few NSTs because of her movement, but she must have just been sleepy for a few days because all is well. I finally got the crib up!!! Yay! And I have cleaned out my car and got her carseat all ready. Next is the baby swings. I know all you have already done this weeks ago, but this is my first opportunity. Now I just have to figure out how to keep my cats out of the crib. Gabbi, good to hear your still pg and feeling fabulous. So far, none of you AUGUST mommies are even gonna be August mommies. Gabbi, since you think you are gonna be late, maybe you'll be an August mommy with me. Alicia freaking bailed on our due date-hooker! j/k. I didn't expect her to be the first, but I am ecstatic nonetheless! I bet M.J weighs in at 8lbs13oz. What does everyone else think? I have been only having a few conx at night, but nothing else to report. And I'm happy about that. Patti, you best be ready I suppose. You'll probably be the next to download!

Danielle- I'm really glad to hear the bleeding has slowed. I was worried for you and kept checking back to see if you'd gone to the Dr. or what. Ekay- They want to get the baby out for 2 reason. One, because she is so small. She has fallen from the 22nd percentile at 33 weeks to the 8th percentile at 37.5 weeks. Which means SOMETHING is keeping her from growing porperly, and she would do better on the outside. 2nd, my blood pressure has been borderline high throughout the pregnancy, and they don't want to chance it getting higher, or getting pre-eclampsia. I just pray she has a major growth spurt before this saturday!!

hi ladies. well i just lost part of my plug! i never did with my lil boy til my water broke and with my little girl my water broke that night! so maybe??? it was a globby brown yuck, lol. i had to do a 2, sorry tmi, and it came out too! my lower back has been aching all night and so far all this morning. so maybe she wants to make her grand entrance. erin i was wondering about carl being out there cuz there is a hurricane warning for texas. ive been worried about you all. preggo, by the way, whats ur name? do they not have any idea why she is so small? chloe isn't moving much today, hmmm, im gonna have to poke around on her...

Well, then that makes sense Preggo. I always worry about Creedence not growing properly because the last 3 appts my fundal height has been the same, but my doc a__sures me that its because she is most likely dropping lower. Yay on the mp Danielle!!!!! Lets hope that your trend with the MP continues and you'll have her soon. I lost my MP with my last, but I still hung on to her for about a week or so afterwards. Hubby seems to be in the clear for the hurricane
