We finally bought the crib! and i was hoping we would build it today since my Dh took the day off because of the appointment i had and he also had to clean my moms carpet.. so that took him almost all day and we didnt get a chance.. i hope soon we can build it up. my MIL is offering to buy me the bed set. This saturday is my Big Baby shower! im gettin nervous but i hope i'll be able to walk ok.. i can only sit for a little while if im sitting long i cant get up without help n hurting of pain.
I also moved my computer desk to the dinning room so its not in my room and i barely want to get on it. Other then not being home i just dont feel like hanging out in my dinning room lol. but i had to tell you guys everything!! lol..
i really hope u all are doing fine.. i feel awful that i havent been on.. and i've read a few of ur comments.. im getting nervous that i might be having Lia in 5 weeks ! wow ..

Julia, take care of yourself and take it easy! You deserve to and the time will go by fast too. It's funny because tonight a bunch of my girlfriends were all telling me they think I'll go in 3 weeks!!!! I was like WTF? No way....they all think I've dropped, but I kept trying to explain I've been carrying low all along and they swear I look different. It is just humoring me, so I laugh. I told them I wasn't even going to start major cleaning for another 3 weeks, lol! Julia, I think you definitely have less than 5 weeks, but I am no expert on any of this, just a guessing :) Well, I'm so tired now and just ready to go to bed. I'll check in tomorrow...

Morning girls and happy Friday to everyone! Nothing exciting here today, just planning to clean some and make sure I have everything I was supposed to get for the shower tomorrow. It is kind of early because the clubhouse where we are having it closes at 2pm, so it is from 11-1. Today looks gorgeous outside--I'm kind of hoping that the pool opens today finally and they fixed the d__n pump so that I can lay out by it and read a new book I just started.

PRECIOUS- here ( A thinning cervix (effacement) indicates that the lower uterine segment is preparing for birth. It stretches out and facilitates the dilatation process.
Cervical effacement, although it is a very subjective a__sessment, can be determined by your provider during an internal examination. It is usually measured in percentages or fractions, such as 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent or completely effaced (tissue paper thin) at 100 percent.
Because a thin cervix dilates easier, it is best to enter labor with effacement already completed or nearly so. Primigravidas (first time mothers) usually start this process during the last month. The practice contractions she has been experiencing do this. Much of early labor is spent effacing before the active dilatation of the cervix begins in earnest.) ---i found that hope that helps.. as for the head stage thing means that im -2 head stages are -3 to +3 (-'s mean that the heads not down far enough in the ca___l & if your in full b__wn labor that your at higher risk of c section. 0 means your 50/50 chance. & +'s mean that the head is down & it good position you have higher chances of delivery regular or natural birth.) hope that helps.

Good Morning ladies. I jut got back from the doctor and everything went well. I am measuring a week ahead but that could just mean she is gonna be a good size baby. Which is defintly fine with me :) My next appt is in 3 weeks then every week after that. I am so excited its getting closer and closer. You girls are lucky you have less than what your due dates are but i will be patient he he.. My doctor told make sure you drink plenty of water so you dont go into labor to early... So ladies drink plent of water..

Hey girls, looks absolutely ghost town in here today! I am exhausted from everything today with the shower and cleaning up, etc. but I took a nap then ate pizza for dinner and I was able to get some more done and get online for second. It was a wonderful shower today. Lots of girls showed up and all went smoothly! I got lots of cool stuff and a lot of it was from my registry!!! yay! I have to look it over tonight and see what I need to get that is left. I'm really relieved all that is over though. It was fun, but kind of stressful. I am now starting to realize that although I want Ava here soon I also am really really going to miss being pregnant :( I hope I don't get post partum or anything, lol....ahhhhh well I'm going to go lie down again. Today I can be lazy so I best take advantage! Hope all is well with you guys and that you had wonderful showers and raked in some cool stuff!
