Pregnancy Info HOME

how funny - I just saw that you were creating a new thread and then couldn't find it - must have been doing it as I was searching. :) Rachel came home yesterday afternoon with my cousin/grandma and she was so excited to see me. :) I got a huge hug!! She was kind of a crab the rest of the evening. We went to Red Robin for dinner since everything was so booked up - and what a nightmare. We finally got home and bathed and bedded her! I'm really really tired and the pressure is getting intense down low. I can hardly walk - I feel like I'm going to poop him out. :) Yeah, we are registered at BabiesRus but we don't have a whole lot on there - I kind of whipped it up real quick so my family/friends would know what we needed. Anyways, tomorrow at 10:10 is my next appt. Can't wait to see what how things have progressed. when is your next one? Yesterday Tim was finishing our patio so I ran errands and sat on the couch and did nothing till Rachel came home. Kind of a lazy day - Tim was too tired to do much though cuz he's been working his a__s off for the last two weeks. Poor thing! He bought me an outdoor firepit and some matching chairs and a table, had the fire going and a tub of ice cold beers for him and sodas for me. :) It was really sweet. We had about 30 minutes of down time together before Rachel and my grandma got home. Well - 9 weeks! yYou're in the single digits at last!!!! woohoo!! Time goes by so fast! Well, if I dont' have the baby before this weekend and you're up to it, I'm free on thursday and Friday as far as I know - maybe we can do something moderately easy. I might want to head to babiesRus or something to pick up a few things - or something. Maybe Ross...I just want to make sure I have everything I need and getting out of the house is good for me. Cant' do a lot of walking though, it's too hard! :) I do need to go to Macy's at some point...ugh - lots of errands!

Oh, you have to let me know what the doctor says tomorrow. My next appointment is thursday, then I have two that are every two weeks and then weekly. If you are feeling that much pressure in your b___t, then he must be pretty low? I am sure your patio looks great. A firepit is a nice touch. Even in the summer it gets a little chilly at night. If I can get Julie to watch Maddy for a bit then I can get together, otherwise I have to pa__s. I can feel the muscles on my tummy separating and even walking is painful, let alone dealing with Maddy and her not wanting to ride in the stroller. Also, Maddy has a runny nose and I don't know if I can ask Julie to watch her or not. I don't want Maddy to get her boys sick, we will see.

hey, if you aren't up to it I totally understand. :) I know the feeling, really! Thing is, I can't stand being cooped up and want to get out sooo bad! After my appt tomorrow I'm sure I will have the green light to get out and about so ... I'm hitting the malls! ;) Maybe....I just need to hold out till Sunday so I can go to my shower/bbq on Saturday. I have a friend due on the 24th with her second and I think she'll be early too - her first was almost 3 weeks early. I predicted the 17th for her - watch that be MY day. :) As for low -yeah, he is. At least that's what the doctor said. I don't know HOW low but he feels like he's about to pop out and say "hey!" My lower gut is starting to feel crampy again too...who knows, maybe tonight is the night. :) Actually, I'm rooting for the 18th now because it's the anniversary of Helens erupting and it's an easy date for me to remember. :) I was 6 at the time so I remember it pretty clearly. Anyways....got to run and talk Tim into going out for Thai food!

Sorry, I am definitely out for this week. I am way too sore, and Maddy has green snot running from her nose. Jimmy just called, he is about 20 minutes away. I just want him to get here and take over. All I have to do is unload and load the dishwasher, then I am going upstairs to bed. Do you have all that pressure in your ribs when you lay down? I do. I ordered a special pillow so I can sleep at an incline. It is a triangular one that keeps you at a 45 degree angle. I ordered it from Healthy Back dot com. It is made of that NASA memroy foam. When I went for my 4D ultrasound they had one and I loved it, I actually kept nodding off during the scan. I had to have it, so I asked her where she got it and ordered one the next day. It should be here tomorrow. It will be great for after the baby is born as well. Jimmy's home gotta go.

hey that's cool about this week. :) If it's as nice as they say, I might just go to the lake or something. I'm excited for warm weather - since I'm at the END of my pregnancy. :) Maddy is ok...not too sick. I don't get any pressure in my ribs at all. In fact, I don't think JR has ever come close to kicking them either. Rachel only did once....I have a horrible pain at the top of my tummy though - in that crease right under my b___bs where the bra strap sits around my ribs. It kind of gets numb when I lay down. I hate it...hope the pillow works out for you too! I've just resigned myself to no sleep for the next days or hopefully not weeks. :) It will be over soon. I got up at 6:30 this morning - couldn't sleep and was so uncomfortable. Made some coffee and am trying to download some pics. Hope you get your pillow soon and get some sleep and rest!!!

Maddy is full b__wn sick. I didn't give up and go to sleep lastnight until about 9pm. I thought for sure she would sleep until about 8 this morning, but the stupid trash truck woke her up. Tuesday mornings suck. Why the hell does our neighborhood have to have garbage pick up so d__n early! It is so frustrating sometimes. nce we move, that will be one of the criteria, no trash trucks until after 8am! I am so sleep deprived. I would just like a couple of good solid nights sleep before this kid comes. I am starting to think that in order to get that I need to spend a weekend at the Westin. At this point I am really considering it. I have a couple of friends who would totally go for it. A comfy bed, some movies and snacks, and a great hour long ma__sage. This morning Jimmy overslept and missed the train, that means that he won't be home until about 8:30 this evening. I hate it when he misses the train. I'm sorry, this must sound like a lot of b___hing. You are lucky you don't have all the pressure in your ribs. I have never had the feeling you do. I don't get numb like that. I get numb on my tummy, just the skin and the muscle underneath burns from the stretching. Anyway, you said you had an appointment this morning at 10:10. I am dying to hear if you have progressed anymore. I hope you can post soon.

sorry, Maddy didn't give up...

ugh - I posted earlier and it didn't take! GRRRRRRRRR........I was kind of p__sy though so maybe it's a good thing! ;) I drove all the way to Bellevue for my appointment and when I got there the office called to tell me that they were going to have to reschedule my appointment because the dr was coming in late for whatever reason. I was so mad cuz I was really looking forward to seeing if anything had changed. So now I go in tomorrow morning at 9:20 and I have to drive in traffic by myself because I have to go to work afterwards - no carpool lane. I was really crabby when I posted earlier but I did take a long nap and feel much better. :) Oh, I hate the trash trucks too - ours come around 7-730 on Thursdays. They are sooo loud too! Hope Maddy is getting better -seems like kids are always getting sick doesn't it? :)

C___ppy!! I was looking forward to hearing how you are progressing. Well, you will have to post tomorrow when you get a chance. Glad you got a nap today. I didn't. Maddy was down for 2 hours, but I didn't sleep, I should have. My special pillow came today and I am looking forward to using it tonight. Hope you sleep well.

well, no change. :) She wants me to try to take it easy for one more week and then I can do jumping jacks for all she cares. I am really crampy this morning though - so I'm drinking water now to see if that changes anything. I'm a megga grouch too - everything is p__sing me off. :) Must be getting close! haha...hey, did I tell you we finally got our tax refund back this weekend? Now we just have to wait for the rebate check to hit Chicago so they can mail it back to us. Also, Tim got a letter from one of his daughters this weekend. He was SO happy. It's really the first communication he's had in over 2 years. It was really really nice for him. Well, I need to get back to work but wanted to let you know what's going on.

Wow, I thought the tax refund was gone for good. I'm glad you are getting your stimulus check too. It is so nice to get a big chunk of money, especially when you are expecting a new baby soon. You are totally allowed to be as crabby and b___hy as you want to be. Maybe next week you will have progressed a bit more. It is so nice that Tim finally heard form one of his daughters. I'm sure he was happy. My 30 week appointmet is tomorrow. I am so glad that thursday through sunday are going to be so nice. I washed all Maddys summer clothes and can't wait for the warm weather. Ofcourse we have air conditioning so my nights will be comfortable. Try not to bite anyones head off and get back to me when you can.

well, I tried to take your advice but this witch on the Labor section p__sed me off. The girl who wrote the post asked about natural delivery and I just said that I had the epi and it was great. Well, this b___h gets on and rips on those of us who used drugs and called us drug pushers and blah blah blah...I was so p__sed. I even called her a name, to myself. Tim was just sitting here laughing at me. :) He read my reply and said it wasn't THAT bad but man, you have no idea what I REALLY wanted to say to her. :) Why do people have to be so rude? I' m really hormonal I think - I don't usually get so annoyed with people!!! Anyways - let me know how your appt goes tomorrow. I have been crampy, back achey and braxton hicksy all day. :) I'm ready for bed now too....oh, our tax stuff - yeah, I knew we'd get it back since it was something they can't legally take because we don't owe any money - it just took the stupid state forever to go through their process to take it from us. What a joke.Anyways, it was good to get it back! yay!!! I hope I can dig out some summer clothes for Rachel that fit! Can't wait for the sunshine!!!!

cat jumped on the natural childbirth post - got to stay away from it now. It makes me too angry. :) Let them have fun with their post...

My appointment sucked. I'll try and call you on the phone to tell you about it. I am lending my computer to Julie. She has to take her kids to work with her for a couple of hours and they need to stay occupied with a movie. I volunteered to let her borrow it.

hey - hope your day is going better!!!

Yesterday was awful. Then lastnight Jimmy and I got in to it a little bit. Nothing major, he was just having his own pitty party and it ticked me off because I am the one who is sick and pregnant! He appologized and now everything is fine. I am still sick today, but I want so bad to get out of the house. I just don't think I can. Atleast it is friday. How are you doing? 38 weeks on monday!! Did you get everything done? We have family portraits next saturday and Jimmy and my brother are going to finish Nathaniel's room afterward. They are putting up beadboard and chair rail. That sucks that Rachel puked in your her carseat. I can only imagine the mess. I didn't tell you that a few days ago Maddy pooped in the tub while Jimmy was giving her a bath. When he told me I had to laugh. One time she had diarrhea in the tub while I was bathing her, so I fiugured it was his turn. Anyway, I hope you are feeling as good as possible. Let me know if anything happens.
