CEECEE- I try to hard to shake most of her c___p off and let it slide but in the last 2 weeks she has really pushed my b___tons - I guess I should just let them talk all they want and when I start my maternity leave I'll get the boys their shots and register them for public school - see how they both like that huh???? LOL just kidding I just don't want her to feel like she has a say in OUR decisions....in the meantime I will relax because you are right I know Megan feels it because she starts moving like crazy!!! I will totally relax and hopefully Sunday will be a warm sunny day because we are going to a friends for a BBQ and they have a pool so that will be great! TIEN - I can see myself starting to really feel bogged down at the end of each day and after taking 2 hour naps both Saturday and Sunday I know I need more rest so I plan to do just that while I am off - I will have 6 weeks of pay after the baby and then I will be off until I find a job so I will be off for a while and hope for the best ....if my husband's work is busy we are fine....it's just when he has a slow pay period then it's gets tight but I plan to save as many pennies as possible between now and then.

hello everyone..... well i have had a couple of very eventful days. I GOT A CAR!!!!!!! 2003 chevy cavalier. 4 door. its so dang cute. but i tried looking for two days to find one and finally in the pouring down rain i found it. then i have school.... boy o boy its getting stressful. i guess i must be doing something rightbecause im getting an A so far. but i dont feel like im retaining anything. so anyways. i have only 1 1/2 weeks left then i take my break for the baby girl Lylee to come. ok what else has been going on. im 34 weeks today!!! YAH!! im so excited, i went to the dr yesterday and found out that they wont be inducing me after all. im not have as many problems as first thought so i guess ill be having her on time. my blood pressure is up and with having the cramps ( which i found out are contractions but they are not consistant ) they want to keep an eye on me every week now. i have only gianed 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks. that im happy for. we are getting my dh kids, all 3 of them, for the week end. i have not spent very much time with them so im kinda worried. they are trying to push it to the limit and see what they can get away with. so it really bothers me. my dh doesnt really put a stop to it cuz he is trying to win them over or something i dont know. anyways ill stop there cuz ill just keep going. my shower is in two weeks. im so excited!!! ok i gotta go back to cla__s now. i hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend. ill try to check in later.

KOLLEEN - cool a car! awesome I know you are so happy.....just try to be patient with the dh's kids - it's only temporary - right? In time you guys can set limits etc etc just don't let them down right disrespect you ....Wow time is flying - and don't worry about being induced that's a good thing it means you and Lylee are healthy and good.....you sound so good girl! I am glad things are going good at school I bet you are so excited for your break.

Hi! TINA, I'm feeling your pain...just reading your post got me fired up! You've got a good head on your shoulders though it seems and I know will handle this whole thing perfectly. I find that I just can't tolerate even the littlest wrenches thrown in my plans at this point in the pregnancy. I'm a bit high strung to say the least, lol...I have found out not long ago that Jessie's son (from a previous relationship) is coming to stay with us shortly after Ava is born. I've kicked and screamed, but am trying to work on compromise with him as he is trying to please everyone himself. His son is 10, so hopefully he can make due on his own for the most part. I'm just getting more and more nervous overall. KOLLEEN, Congrats on the new car!!!!!! That is wonderful news along with the kick a__s grades and stuff :) OH! I meant to ask you Tina that if you contact Heather again let her know I'm thinking about her and hope she can make it back here soon. Maybe even if we move over to infant care forum after the births....what do you guys think? I know it is hard to get online as much with a newborn, but it might be nice to keep a July Mommies thread over on Infant Care so we can help each other along. I KNOW I'll need it, lol! Well, I'm off to get something to eat...

STEF - it's going to be ok.....if he is 10 he should be able to pour himself a bowl of cereal Tristan has been doing that since he's 7 - if you have bread lunchmeat cheese he can make himself a sandwich - remember that AVA is his little sister and he might surprise you and be the best helper ever....you just never know.....we ended up having a really good dinner and she was smart enough not to bring up the school thing sometimes she has some sense I guess...LOL - I mean she is a loving generous lady she just is a big b___t-in-ski if it wasnt' for that we would get along great.....lol ...oh girls I picked up my stroller and carseat - it's so pretty I took pictures I will load them and put them on piczo.....I need to take a picture of the crib and stuff so you guys can see it ..oh did I mention that Cor's aunt sent us $150.00 or baby stuff?? I am so excited I will be getting my bedding...LOL ....I have plenty of giftcards to get the rest of the stuff I need but we'll see how the next baby shower goes - Marcy mailed out 18 invitations I would have never thought I actually knew different ladies for her to ask......so whatever I end up getting I will be very happy and blessed (even if it's all more clothes LOL) I am not sure what's up for the weekend the BBQ we were going to has been cancelled so I will clean and get more cleaning and organizing done.....ok I will check in more later.....Hope you guys have a chance to check in.....

Hey, just checking in quick before a nap :) I have lots to do, but just feel like putting it all off for a week or two, lol. I'm kind of frustrated because of the whole crib mattress situation and how it didn't fit right so we went to babies r us and found one that was a teensy bit wider and bought it. Brought it here and it fit a bit better, but is a lesser quality mattress overall. ALSO, I must be in irritable b___h mode because I SO FREAKIN PISSED AT JESSIE--he stuck the new mattress in the backseat of the car all jacked up and I swear the metal frame is bent. I tried to show him and he grabbed it from me and started trying to bend it the other way so I yelled at him to STOP or he'd make it worse and he stormed out. Not a good day so far. I refuse to go and take the thing back for another one since he just left to take the first one back to Target (the better mattress, but it was not fitting right). OK, I totally know that there are much bigger problems to have, but this must be hormones or something because I want to kill someone. I started crying telling him that if the frame is bent it might not be safe for the baby and that is when he pretty much had it with me and had to leave. Now I feel like c___p sitting here staring at the f&$#*$g mattress and there probably isn't even really anything wrong with it. I just get so annoyed when I tell him not to do something (like put the d__n mattress in the car wrong) and he does it anyways! men.......sigh.......ok, i need to totally go chill out. Be back later.

TINA, thank you so so much for sharing all of that :) I know exactly what you feel and hell, even I had all those tests and I still had the same thoughts today, for real! Really, your doctor would have noticed some type of marker by now in u/s's etc. Sorry I didn't post sooner in response to you, but we were out all day and I just now got on the computer for the first time today. I'm feeling better (less icky, lol) and everything you said helped me tremendously. I do worry a LOT, but I don't want to be that crazy overprotective mom that can't even let her kid play outside without a leash on or something! ;) Ah....I am enjoying pregnancy now so much more than I have the whole time, but I also feel much more intensely about how badly I want Ava to be here and be healthy and safe. After going this long and she's almost here I often have really scary thoughts about something going wrong right before or at birth. I think that is normal, but I just find that a quick prayer helps and I try to direct my thoughts to something else -- quickly! I'm not even a religious person by any means. I just have to trust that all will be well this time and if not, then I know there is nothing else I can do. Ugh, but I must not go there. Oooooh! I can't believe we are going to be 35 weeks soon! I'm so freakin excited for my 36 week appt. on June 6. I called and asked about the u/s and the nurse said she'd make a note and that we don't have to schedule in advance. She said the dr. can decide right then and there. I have a feeling she might say no and wait till 38 weeks, but who knows. My acupuncturist said she would start doing things to get me ready over the next month. I read somewhere today that acupuncture can put you into labor! (devious mind starts thinking, ha ha)......I wonder if I can have her work on me when I see her at 38 weeks :)

STEF - I am glad that I helped you feel just a little bit better....I feel better now too.....you know I started thinking about the ultrasound and the ultrasound tech and how she probably really doesn't care about my baby and maybe isn't paying that close attention and that is what made me think about asking for a amnio......to tell you the truth the other reason is (and girls please don't judge Cor) we really had a tense time when I first found out I was pregnant Cor was really upset he didn't want another baby and while I was shocked by it and scared and knew we would just make it work .....so I guess I just want to make sure she's ok so that she isn't born and we find out there is something wrong with her that will be very stressful......I don't know what I am trying to say....I just feel good babbling I guess....thanks for listening....hope everyone is having a good day off! I'll check in later.

Hey everyone..Gosh I haven't been on here for awhile. Been trying to keep myself busy. I was supposed to have my baby shower this past saturday...but I had to postpone it. So its now on June 6th. I was really lookin forward to it too. I hate waiting lol. Everything is good here. Been having lots of BH contractions...i hate them. Brooklynn is fine though doing really good HB still 140. Im now 34w 3d YAY we are almost there girls. Im so excited for the day that she comes into the world. Its going to be wonderful. Well Hope everone has a good memorial day and a relaxing day off.

Hey girls....haven't been on much this weekend. I'm so worn out but I think I got the nursery (or what there is of it, lol) pretty much set up and I am so tired. We were running all over the place and I feel like my feet are going to fall off from walking around target this afternoon. ANyways, TINA, no need to explain your feelings at all...I understand COMPLETELY :) I think we all have these worries, we just don't voice it a lot. I find I have to voice what's going on in my head or it just has more power. CHARLI, glad things are going well! I know we are all moving along :) I got VERY brave yesterday and went out to the pool. a couple of friends came over and I felt like such an alien. Everyone was staring at me and I had more than one person tell me they are convinced i'm having the baby in 3 weeks, LOL! I was like, wanna bet? ha ha.....Ok, going to eat and then crash. Be on tomorrow...

hi everyone. well im in tears right now. im so upset. ok lets explain. im very involved in my church, and i wanted to get everyone involved and invited to my baby shower. so i had the idea to have it open to everyone, kida husbands etc. because i know how people time is valueable and family time is very important. so we were going to bbq and have it at a lake. well i just found out that they are having fundraiser at the church the same day as my shower. so i dont think anyone is going to show up. my feelings are hurt so bad. this sucks. i dont have friends really outside of church. so the only people that will be there are my mom and my bff and her family. i cant change the date because the church is doing things every weekend from here till lylee is due. plus i have to pay 65 for renting the park. this has to work out. for real. i know that i will get everything that i need for lylee but im really counting on people to help you know. what do i do? i cant stop crying about this. im so hurt!!!!!!

Kolleen, can you possibly change the TIME of your shower so that people can do both the church thing and your shower? If you set your shower far enough from the start time of the even at church I'm sure that people would leave it to come support you!!! I'm sure these people care about you very much and want to help so they would make the time to come. :)

I meant to say "...far enough from the start time of the EVENT at your church..." lol, sorry that didn't make sense when I reread it.

KOLLEEN - I know you are upset but STEF has a great idea can you postpone the start of your shower? So that people can attend the fundraiser first then come and relax at your shower - and also just because people don't actually attend doesn't mean they won't give you a gift - I had quite a few gifts from folks who didn't attend the shower.....I know it's hard but don't get too too upset - I am sure they didnt' mean to hurt you - it's all going to be ok don't worry...really....STEF - thanks for listening all weekend! CHARLI - glad things are going well with you.....glad you could check in? Does anyone email AMY on the side! I got another update from HEATHER - Nevin is still in an incubator and once he's 4 pounds he will be out - he's weighing in now at 3lbs 10 oz she gets to hold him now as much as she wants - she has not told me about any complications at all.....I told her we are all praying for her still until Nevin is home...

TINA and STEF - it is going to work out for my shower. it has to right? we are just going to call and ask everyone who is going to be able to make it. my shower is at two and the fundraiser is at six. so like i said it is going to have to work out. i have faith. it just hurt my feelings to learn that it was on the same date. so i have till friday to figure out what im going to do. . . . im really tired today. ive been having really weird dreams the last couple nights. and my sleep sucks too. i cant seem to get comfortable at anytime durning the day or night. but only a couple more weeks to go huh? YAH!!!!!! may is almost over and june starts. then anyone of us can go at that time. so where do we go after we have our babies? we dont stay on this thread do we? i dont wanna get left behind.

Hello Ladies, How is everyone... Kolleen i think your baby shower will work out just fine :) and after here we go to the infant thread.. i have only 6 weeks left + 1 day but some of you have only 1 month left because your getting induced.. thats crazy its going by so fast. Remind which ones are getting induced and when please.. Well my 3 day weekend went alright. Didnt do a whole lot. Had a BBQ yesterday but with just some family. My boyfriend has been out of town since Saturday doing a job. He and his dad own a family roofing company so they do out of town jobs once in a while if the money is good :) but hopefully he should be home by Thursday. I miss him but a few days a part was probably good he he
