Hi Ladies!! Feels so good to have finally made it over to the Third Tri (although I'm cheating... just a little bit). Hope everyone had a good 4th! We took a little mini-vacation... it was very relaxing. MissP - I'm thinking about you, girl. You and your little guy hang in there as long as you can! Medicine is so advanced now-a-days, that if your little man decides to make an early appearance, he'll be taken good care of! Good to hear everyone is doing okay and hanging in there. I'm super uncomfortable... can't seem to get a good nite's rest and I know it's only going to get worse as time goes on. We're almost there... 1st & 2nd flew by, so I anticipate so will the 3rd : ) I had my 25/26 wk appt last week and all seems good, so far. Had my glucose test done - I just love drinking that orange syrupy stuff. The nurse was laughing at how quickly I drank it. My next appt is in about 2 1/2 weeks... they're going to start seeing me every 3 weeks now - YAY! I look forward to my appts.

So I just have to share this with you all. I think it is pretty humorous...so last night I got home from work and getting my little man and realized there was a message on the phone. It was the nurse from my clinic calling saying "Hi Liz, could you please call me back ASAP and if you don't get this give me a call first thing in the morning" Now keep in mind I am YET to find out how the ultrasound went- they just never said anything and I never asked because I a__sumed that if it was abnormal they would tell me. Well then I get that call and I am like- ok they don't even update me on my ultrasound I can't imagine what this possible could be in regards to. So I call this morning all nervous and the nurse gets on all peppy "You pa__sed your glucose test!!!!!" I was like "Um- ok that's great! Oh by the way, is everything ok with my ultrasound (from 6 weeks ago)? she was like- Yep looks l like it! And that was it! I was like...WOW....priorities are way different to some people! ha!! Obviously it's great I pa__sed my test but the lack of sleep because of worrying could have been spared! ha! Jennifer- did I say i don't feel PG? I was kicking myself last night because last night I COULD NOT BREATH in bed! ha! My husband was like "Are you ok? You don't sound good" I was like "Yep- no worries just a couple extra organs intruding on my lungs!"

Luckily I don't have a problem breathing. But it just seems like I don't have enough room mostly this last week. I keep getting that constant, "o ouch that musta been an elbow," type feeling. I can feel like every move. Not that mean to sound like I'm complaining but it can be pretty uncomfortable I wish I would pop out a little more. I haven't even had one person ask out being pregnant. I have an appt next week : ), I love going to them!

britt- well, if ya wanna complain this is the place to do it! At least here you will get the sympathy of others going through the same thing! When I "complain" to my boyfriend he just looks at me like your a woman, you're supposed to be able to handle all of this & other times he looks like he wants to cry for me! Lol.

JNFR614 - We've been averaging 100 and finally got our AC fixed. I guess next month is usually 115 the AC guy was telling about it. I've lived here Cali for 2 years and I can't get used to this weather. I mean I filled up my dd's little pool and the water coming out was even warm. Yay! Its naptime here so I get an hour to myself. Hmm, I think I'll make me a smore, haha! Hope everyone is feeling well today!

britt- we are on total opposite sides of the country. I'm in Jersey, so the weather is similar. Glad to hear you got your air fixed- I don't know what I'd do w/ out mine! Actually, the air in my truck isn't working right, & I hate the ride home from work at 1:30 in the afternoon when the sun is blazing! Elizabeth- you don't get a break over there! There's either a foot of snow or you're sweating ur *ss off- I have a cousin that lives there & she can't wait to move back to Jersey next month.

Haha- that's funny Jennifer- I am born and raised in MN so I do love it here but I will tell you, those who think MN is just freezing all year round hasnt' been here in the summer!!! Actually MN season's are really beautiful for the most part! But You can go from 30 degrees one day to 80 degrees the next! NO LIE!!! I will take a straight 75 and warm all year round!

Hi girls, so just a quickie to tell you hes not coming today, thank goodness. But they are still concerned. My fluid dropped to 4.4cm now. Im going to be monitered twice weekly right up til the birth which they think may be somewhere between 30 - 34wks, as things stand now. But obviously things could change, it just all depends on how much fluid i can retain and how quickly the placenta continues to deteriate. At the moment things are steady, but we will have to see. Im just so glad he wasnt ready to come out yet!! And im feeling so ill with breathlessness, chest pains, weak and woozy, i dont think i would have had the strength if he had made an appearance. So its a relief all round. They still think theres something wrong with him, but theyve yet to find anything, so i guess it may just mean we find out when hes born. Ive refused the whole 'stick great big needle in my babys sack' test seeing as i dont want him to loose the tiny fluid he has, and what benefit will it give anyway, il find out when hes born whats wrong, if anything, but if i have that test he may go into distress causing preterm labour - the very thing im trying to avoid! Or infection to either of us. So there we go, some positive and some not so positive news, but in the whole i feel better that im getting somer great care, and hes still kicking away which is nice. He weighs 1300grams now! and meausres just 2 days smaller than hes supposed to be. So hes not doing so bad. Hes a fighter. Ok well i should go and rest, i feel terrible, and im sorry i havent commented on whats happening in your lives, i will try too this week, now that i can relax for a few days at least. Take care girls and stay safe x x

MissP - I'm so amazed at your outlook on things. He's going to be a beautiful and amazing baby when he's born, as he's such a fighter already. It's so wonderful he's still measuring safe! I hope your symptoms ease up a little! Take care of yourself!

I agree! MissP, your positive outlook is tremendous! You keep that up and we'll keep thinking about you : ). This is my second pregnancy and I'm much more tired this time around, which is driving me insane! I'm a busy bee and like to be moving around and my 'tiredness" lately is keeping me from doing things. My little man hurts me - to the point where I'll jump and scream a little. It's going to be a long 3 months! Liz- that's great and almost unheard of the office called with good news! They usually tell me "we'll call if something is wrong"... and I just pray for no phone call : ) so far, so good... no calls. I should be working right now, but I'm watching 'A baby story' on TLC and of course I'm crying with every new baby being born! Oh, I can't wait... it's really going to be a long 3 months!

I LOVE a baby story!!! I just bawl and bawl when that babe is born- it gets me everytime...How terrible is this?....I find myself not getting as attached to the episode if I don't feel like I really "like" the couple! ha! Shallow I know!

It is way too early for me to be on the 3rd trimester board but I am due at the end of October- Halloween to be exact so I have been with you ladies for some time. Miss P you are a truly inspirational person. I am amazed at your strength and courage. You and your wonderful baby are in my prayers- and I can't wait to hear you write that he is perfectly fine....good luck and God bless!
