I sent you an e-mail and a couple of pics :) You are so close!!! I can't believe it. I think brown is probably from the exam, I read it might appear anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, and if it was the show it'd be pink. Period cramps are a really good sign though, especially the first pregnancy. Nothing over here...I'm even kind of constipated again :(((

Hi everyone!!! well itsbeen kinda crazy the last couple of days. Lylee has jaundice. her levels are kinda high. she is having to use the billy rueben blanket. she is such a happy and content baby. she only lost 2 oz so far. we had her first appt on saturday. her collar and arm bones are good. no broken bones!!! thank god. i tell ya i dont know if i ever wanna do that agian. the delivery was the SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER GONE THRU!!!! so i have learned that you still swell up even after giving birth. im more swollen now then i ever was with the pregnancy. and if you have an episiotomy or you rip take very good care of it. im in so much pain now because its infected badly. i van hardley sit down. it burns to do anything, i keep rinsing it everytime i go potty. i go in to the dr tomorrow for it. ok sorry to cut it short but i have to go sit in a bath tub for a bit while lylee is sleeping then i have to get some sleep. im starting to hear things!!!

Kolleen, Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! Are you putting Lylee in direct sunlight for her jaundice now? or is she under the light machine? you know bathing in a warm tub of salt water (bath) is great for healing your tears and episiotomy. im about 39wks i think, due july 16th. Dont know if i might start soon cos last couple of days been getting heaps and heaps of milky discharge, today was a very big amount. in the morning i got lower back pains and during the day abit of braxton hicks but what scared me the most was feeling alot of pressure down my bottom, like the baby was coming down or something. every labour is different, it must of been very scary for you! but now its all over and you can now sit and relax, enjoy your new baby. best wishes to you and LYLEE!!

Kolleen, so good to hear from you!!! I'm glad to hear you are home with Lylee and all is well (ok, except that episiotomy thing sounds so not fun at all) :( Keep us posted! Like Elena said, it seems to be dying here already, lol. It's not even July yet and I think over half the July mommies have had their babies already! I had a good feeling that would happen though. OMG, I have to say I am a bit more than nervous about birth overall because did anyone else notice how pretty much all of the recent birth stories involved some kind of scary moment? I think Kendra's was the only one that didn't, but either it was Megan's csection, Lylee's shoulder getting stuck, Krissy's delivery and then it seems there was another one or two cord problems.....agh! I really started freaking out this weekend. Is it really more common for something to go wrong than not? It just seems odd that so many of these things would happen all at once? Sorry I'm the resident worry-wart and Tina usually is my voice of reason, lol!

Good Morning Everyone..i dont the internet hooked up at my house right now so cant get on on the weekends only weekdays while at work :) So i went and got my ma__sage and walked. Nothing worked for me. The ma__sage felt good and she rubbed on my pressure points but no luck. I have come to the conclusion that she will probably be on time or at least around there. he he i am due next wednesday so not to much longer. I am getting restless and i am a bit grumpy today. i dont know why i just am. Im at work but im barely doing work because the girl that will be covering for me started doing my work to get practice before i go. so i kinda have nothing to do all day...i just do some paper work that takes all of a few minutes each one i get.

Well, the weekend is over and still no baby! lol.. anyways i've been feeling really down lately. so i've just been with my mom. I've been very emotional and sensitive and just grumpy.. So Hillary ur not alone.. I honestly dont want to be around my DH i feel like everything that comes out of his mouth is annoying.. n it makes me mad. I've been having alot of brown discharge so if it continues i'll call my doc my next appointment is this thurs. so we'll see..
Im at a point where i know she is coming later.

I had some people who told me they think Kayla will be here over the weekend of the 4th. I was hoping that she would be here this past weekend, but I guess I need to just relax and deal with the uncomfortablness. I swear it feels like this process is taking forever. I'm so ready! :) How is everyone today?

Hey girls. I had my almost 39 week appointment today, I'm 2 cm dilated, and the dr. could feel his head. I asked her to do a membrane sweep -- it hurt, but not too bad, now I'm having pink mucus coming out in big chunks. So we'll see what happens...I'm going for a marathon walk tonight. STEF, I know what you mean about the scary stories. LOL, you don't want to hear mine with my little girl. I'm hoping for an easy delivery this time. But hey, in the end everything will be ok, keep re-reading HeatherIsHopeful's story, it's the best.

STEF- good you morning, dont let the stories that you have heard scare you. if you allow them to get you worked up the baby will feel it. i learned a very valueable lesson with lylee. the baby feeds off your mood. the whole time i was in the hospital NOONE came to see me. my mom dad and son did, and my best friends daughter did, but my friend told me that this women (who does not even like me) was telling people to not come see me. BULL S***!!!! so i was in tears for hours about it. well cos i was upset lylee was upset. it was not fair to her that i was upset. ok im off to the drs now ill check in later.

We may have 2 more babies soon!!! JULIA, keep us posted and ELENA, that sounds very very promising with the pink mucous and stuff. I wish I'd asked for a membrane sweep last Friday but I didn't even think of it. I will ask tomorrow if she says she won't induce me. I had one of my best friends just tell me how she thinks I should wait because her induction threw her into full on horrible contractions in less than 30 minutes. No working up to them and she had to wait 4 hours for her epi! agh. Ok, I'm going to stop freaking out and just pray for the best. I just want Ava here safely
