you know, thats what i was wondering if he stripped my membranes and didnt say...but dont they have to tell you when they do that stuff? Or maybe he was in there too long and did it on accident...? lol... I dunno, I'm not having any contractions...but theres still some blood...older though...nothing bright red or anything. I'll jsut wipe and see some stuf fand maybe a bit of mucous....so (shrugs shoulders), I dunno. My only complaint is backache. Is your Mom still there, Fefer?

i would have been on earlier last night, but after the hospital i had to go to a business networking event with DH. I got to sit on my bum the whole time socializing with this life insurance lady...and there was good food and cheesecake, so it was nice. We got home about 10, and I was too tired to get on the computer.

Oh yes Fefer, I am relieved I dont hav eot be induced! I've only every heard HORROR stories about it, and the pain is worse than normal labor, I've heard. So I don't want to have to do it at all if I can avoid it.

well christie, being induced isn't all that bad if you want the epi -it takes the pain RIGHT away. :) It's just pretty intense. My experience with it was fine - but I really want to have a regular old birth experience since it's my last. I'd like to experience drug free birth - haha - even though I have a feeling I'm going to cave in. :)

fefer, maybe he is waiting to be a Fathers Day baby. Lol-- Sit down and have a conversation with the lil guy and tell him what you want to do and how excited you are to have him coming out and ask him to come out asap. Lol...then go walk and walk and walk...Dh and mom on standby for the hospital. Or go find some of that labor boost cream! Lol...what else can you do?

my husband just said the same thing about father's day. :) My dads bday is on monday -he's rooting for the 16th! haha...my doctor is on vacation next week and I'd be a little sad if she couldn't deliver ONE of my kids. She wasn't able to with my dd either. oh well - it's not that big of a deal. I've tried everything I can to get this guy out but he's just not budging. I'll TRY to walk today. :) I have to go in for the non-stress test this morning too - fun stuff!!!

wellI kinda squat when I'm on the toilet -and push at the same time. :) Ok, I'm officially bumped today, on the waiting list for tomorrow - and unless I go into labor today on my own my doctor will not be around to deliver for over a week. bummer. I stayed on the list just in case I change my mind but I HOPE things go on their own. I'm gonna run some errands and hope hope hope something happens!

fefer I thought they promised you wouldnt be bumped?! or was that heather that verified they wouldnt be bumped .. hmm I get confused now - Well when i go to my parents they live by a lake beach thing lol so I know exactly what you mean - that is where i am going to be taking chas next week she loves it there - they live in this gated community and they have the 'beaches' and then indoor pools and stuff - during the school year she will take the bus but she can ride her bike down to the bus stop - so its a little nicer then here - here i dont trust anyone .. and the kids are kind of ghetto they will steal anything so she brings her bike inside when she isnt on it i dont even let her chain it to my yard fence. Christie I would SOOO love to live in florida - I would love to live anywhere but here lol I wish I could just move around but no money so I cant - I do think after this school year If i am going to move it will be then - the baby will be a year old and chas can watch her if need be so I dont need to be SO close to family - and really I have like no friends here anyway ...just one and she is moving to florida lol anyway I am off to cut the gra__s I Hate mowing the lawn - and I got the stroller box in the house now i just have to open it haha

Fefer I so feel your pain I was bumped 2 days in row, It seems like your life is on hold when they do that to you!! Newlywed I was induced with my 2nd I went natural. I agree it was more intense but labor is intense anyway. I think being induced isn;t that scary

hey everyone - I know I texted some of you but my husband let me have the other laptop momentarily. :) I just lost a gigantic glob of pinkish goo. It's still coming out. My lower back aches big time and I do feel a little lower ab cramping. Trying not to get too excited but we'll see. :) I'm supposed to go to a birthday part in two hours - haha - he'll probably ruin my plans.

Hi Girls! Congrats Heather!!!!! Fefer, it sounds like your next. Newlywed, I went through the same stuff with teh pre-eclampsia scare and what-not. I had to do the 24 hour urine screening and everytime I went to the doctor my blood pressure was way high adn I would have to get hooked up to the NST and everything, it was super annoying. But you know what, in the end it all came out ok. King was fine, and I was also fine. During labor my blood pressure even was low, so I think the high blood pressure is just a fluke. Try not to worry too much, you're almost there. So I had an interesting week. On Tuesday night I started feeling really bad so I took my temp and it was about 100.5. My nipples and b___bs were so engorged and hurting so bad that I dreaded each feeding. So I called my doc about the fever and she said go to the ER. So we went and by the time we got there, about 30 minutes later, my temp had soared to 102.8. It turns out I had a severe case of mast_tis. They admitted me, which I was not very happy about, and I was there for a few days trying to get it all under control. It was horrible because King was at his grandparents and had to be bottle/formula fed for a few days. I bawled my eyes out for 3 days straight because I couldn't be with him. But luckily we are both home and good now. They put me on a strong antibiotic and it turns out he wasn't latching on properly and that's why I was in such horrible pain and had bleeding and cracked nipples, OUCH! Amanda, I sent you the pics of King to post like 3 or 4 days ago, I'm not sure if you got them. If you're having a hard time getting them or whatever you can just give me the photobucket pa__sword and I'll put them up there myself. I know how tough it is to get anything done with a new baby in the house. Especially one like mine that only likes to sleep when it is not convenient for me, haha. Oh and hey, does anybodys baby have a rash on them. King came home from the hospital with a rash on his legs and belly and it still has not gone away. I asked the nurse in teh hospital and she said it's normal but I thought that it would have gone away by now. And I know it's not the detergent I'm using because I used the All free and clear, which has no perfumes or dyes. He goes to the doc on Monday anyways so I'll ask then. Ok well I hope everyone is doing good and again Congratulations Heather and Fefer, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
