I know how uncomfortable you are. It won't be long now. Hang in there.

I do feel really sick though - I wanted to throw up earlier but it' s a weird kind of sick. My stomach gets these sharp pains, kind of burns like indigestion every once in a while and I do feel a bit of the period crampiness. Maybe things are in the works...just taking some time. Tim is still home - he love an excuse to not go to work. :) My niece is here too so it's nice to have an extra hand.

It sortof sounds like things are starting to happen? I hope you get some relief and go a bit early. Monday will be 39 weeks anyway. Cynthia left about 30 minutes ago and Maddy loves her. She had her playing horsey and playing with her the whole time. Cynthia told me to make her a list of things to do around the house for next time. Today she changed Maddy's bed sheets, did two loads of laundry and did the few dishes that were in the sink. It was great. I ran an errand and spent the rest of the time resting in our room. I can hardly wait for next wednesday... ooh, maybe you'll have a baby by then?!?!

I completely forgot to ask about the name. Have you chosen one yet?

sounds like you had a great day! Mine wasn't too bad either, other than feeling ill. Tim stayed home all day and tore apart our downstairs bathroom - it's totally gutted. He meant to only check where all the pipes were but found a leak and decided to rip everything out. :) It was a disaster of a bathroom anyways - not even a shower because the previous owners took it with them. Weird I know. So that's his next project. :) I'm eating pineapple cuz I hear it can help with labor - and we're going out for chinese food which I love but the msg bothers my gut...so maybe all these things will help stimulate things. :) Maybe...just maybe...we'll play in the bedroom after Rachel goes to bed. But that's a BIG maybe. I have NO interest in it right now. haha...but after hearing YOUR story - who knows what will happen now. :) And no - no name yet. :) What's funny is that the name we have both agreed on is Nathan - or Nate - and I refuse to name him that cuz that's the name you picked. Even though we liked it before I knew you. :) It's kind of funny actually. Tim's like, well how well do you know her? Does it really matter??? Well, we liked Elijah but my nephew is Elias and we can't have to Eli's walking around - so no, no Nathan or Nate. haha ... we have some others we like but no decision has been made. We probably won't know till he's born...but I'm actually not too stressed about it. Wish me luck tonight!!

Hey, you know what, if you like the name Nathan too, then use it. There is no rule stating that only one friend can use the name for their child. I certianly do not mind, that would be silly. It is a name for your child, and if we like the same one then that is just one more thing we have in common and another reason to be good friends. Go eat your pineapple, have some chineese and get busy in the bed room! LOL. Maybe the combination of the three will jump start things. Also, if you have a b___st pump then use that too. Nipple stimulation is supposed to be great for starting contractions. Let me know!

hey - I heard that nipple stimulation can work but can bring on really strong contractions. :) Well nothing worked last night - nothing. Not the bath, the pineapple, the greasy chinese food or the s_x. Which, by the way, was not very easy to do. hahaha...or comfortable. My tummy is gigantic! My step mom is coming by this morning to take Rachel out for a while so I can have a break...I might go to babiesRus again and pick up the crib bumper or go to the mall and WALK. ;) Well, we'll keep that in mind about the baby name. I just feel odd using the same name - but I do like Nate....we'll see. We have some others we like too. :) Well, Rachel is tearing off my slippers and demanding attention so I better run. :)

I'm sorry nothing worked. Don't feel odd about using the same name. It is really no big deal, really. I even mentioned it to Jimmy and his response was the same as mine. It just doesn't matter. If you like the name, then please use it. I don't want to be the reason you didn't use the name you like. I am not just saying that to be nice, it's really how I feel. Have a great day. I'm glad you will be getting a break. Go walk til you drop! Let me know if anything happens. Jimmy has firday through monday off,so if you had the baby sometime in there that would be great for ME. LOL!! Talk to you soon.

what a relaxing day. I ended up meeting Tim at Lowes to look at bathroom stuff and it hurt to walk. We went and had lunch at Panda express.. mmm... then I came home and took a nap for about 45 minutes until Rachel got home at 1, put her down, slept from 1:30-3:30, am still tired too! Rachel is kind of grumpy but Tim is here for now. I think I'm starting to lose my plug too...I'm hoping it is anyways. TMI, but I haven't had a lot of discharge recently like I have in the past and then this afternoon it was kinda different. My stomach is kind of upset again too. ugh...I wish this would hurry up and get over with!! Hey, have fun this weekend too! 4 days work free for your dh!! :)

It really sounds like you are getting close!! I hope it is soon, for your sake. Maddy has been watching movies and TV ALL DAY LONG. I needed to keep her occupied so I could go through all of her clothes and price them for the sale tomorrow. It took me 5 hours to finish. We still have a lot of other stuff that needs to be brought out of hiding and priced. The garage is a mess, and we have no tables, so we have to lay everything out on the lawn on blankets. That is going to suck. The sale starts at 8am, and I have to leave by 9:30 to make my hair appointment, so, Jimmy will be here until about 1:00pm or so alone. I totally forgot about the garage sale and should have had my hair done last weekend, oh well, Jimmy said he can handle it. I still have to do some laundry tonight so I have something to wear tomorrow. I always do everyone elses for some reason, and skip over mine. I am so glad Jimmy is almost home. I want him to put Maddy to bed. My back is killing me. I was sitting on the ottoman while I went through all that stuff and I was slouching. I definitely need a back rub tonight, you probably need one too, huh? I don't think you are going to make it to your due date. I just keep thinking that your labor will start by monday?!?!? Jimmy just walked in with dinner for the two of us and he is taking the kid to be so I gotta go eat. I can't wait to hear from you in the morning. I want to know if there is any other new little symptom. I'm so excited!!

Did the garage sale today from 8-3:30pm and made $367.75!!! I am so excited. This money will pay for the beadboard and chair rail for Nathan's room and then some. I think tomorrow after portraits and lunch we may try to sell even more. How was your day? Anything new to report?

wow, what a good sale considering it's a c___ppy day! :) I went to babies r us to get the crib bumper and to use my $10 off coupon for registering there -but for the second time they were OUT of the gift cards they give for the coupon thing so I went to customer service and whined cuz what a waste of my time to drive down there and spend $ on gas for them to not have their stupid coupon things. I got it. :) haha...then we went to target and home for a nap but Rachel got up at 2 instead of 3:30 and has been kinda grouchy - thank goodness dora is on now. She totally chills when it comes on. :) Tim will be home soon - my mom is coming at some point today for the weekend - and me, well, no change. It's starting to get annoying. :) Watch him not come out till June now - it's only a week and 2 days away! I have been feeling sick again though - it comes and goes. Jr is pressing so hard on my pelvic area I swear he's gonna just plop out. :) I was hoping my mom would have been here earlier so I didn't have to cook dinner. I"m so lazy these days! All I want to do is eat out or order out. Cooking is too much work!!!! Have fun getting your pictures taken tomorrow!

After we closed the garage door someone who had been looking at our desk called and wanted to come by with her husband, they bought it for $125. All said and done we made about $500!! I knew we would do well with all of the baby clothes, but I didn't think we would end up with this much. :o} It is sortof like free money when you consider that this stuff was just taking up space. We just got home from dinner, we went for mexican food. Next time we go out I want chinese. Jimmy is upstairs putting Maddy to bed, and I really need to get in a hot shower. I wish I could take a hot bath, but our tub is really small and I can't get the water level above my belly. It is really uncomfortable. I am just here waiting to hear that your water has broken, or contractions have started. I am hopeful everytime I see that you posted... quit letting me down!! LOL.
