TTC Blue Crew Grads

Jen: Thanks for updating for me. I tell people all the time that he must be trying to get out through the front, it really does look like an alien movie sometimes.....oh well, I have tons of strech marks already, so he can't do any harm :)

Hobber: yes, I always look like all baby, BUT I am not. I have a small frame, so I just look small. I have gained about 20 pds during this pregnancy, but I gained 10 pds while swaying. I am just really blessed with a fast metbolism.....although it has slowed a lot in the past few years. It normally takes me about 6-12 months to get all the baby weight off, last time I never did get it all off. I have the best time being pregnant and not worrying about my wastline...lol.

TTC5: So, your baby just really big or did they change your due date?

girlmom: Yep, we need an update!!!

I am so excited, I ordered a new going home outfit for the baby and it is coming today!!! It is Petit Ami brand and so classic looking, It will be my last addition to the hospital bag. Tomorrow is my OB appt, I will let you guys know if the EPO did any wonders in a week :)

i was a bad girl. i decided i was done with meds and doctors and bedrest. so i canceled my doc app. and i stopped taking my meds.... yes i know, you can all spank me later. but im 36 weeks tomorrow! and i really have been a good girl up until now. but omg it was wonderful... my mind was clear, i wasn't all foggy and loopy. i went for a walk... outside!!! then i had to go grocery shopping. when i did get a little hot and dizzy but im not used to all that. i got home and started contracting badly. but i didn't want to go in. so i stuck it out. about 8 or 9pm i took a hot bath and it really seemed to help and i went to bed early. i woke up for one of my million trips per night to the bathroom and i was bleeding. not sure if thats good or not. but i decided as i wasn't in any pain not to wake everyone. this morning the bleeding has stopped but now im starting to contract again. maybe i'll go in and make sure everything is ok. but gosh it was nice not to have to take any meds or pills or sit for hours in docs offices while docs shove their fingers up me and try to guess if im a 4 or a 5.

Tink, I'm so glad you're home and feeling better xx Enjoy your SON!

((Hugs)) Girlmom :hug2:

Congrats on reaching 36 weeks! I think your baby boy is coming very soon now!

WP, Good luck Tomorrow and KUP! :luck:

3p1b, How's Charlie, We need some new pics :)

Flava, thinking of you dear xxx :HH:

WP - you are welcome, you're sooo close!

girlmom - so amazing you are 36 weeks! I can't wait to hear what the dr's say today!

MFC - Charlie is great, he's getting so big. I can't believe he's almost 4 months old! We are still having sleep issues i.e. waking up 4+ times a night and only wanting to nap on the boob but we got him some new pacis and they really seem to be helping. All in all we are so in love with him and I'm still in awe that we made a boy lol

Here's a few new pics :)

Flava - come on hun, check in :kiss:

Jen: OMG.....Charlie is sooooo cute. 4 months already, time sure does fly. What kind of pacis did your get?

girlmom: I don't blame you. And 36 wks is great, especially coming as far as you have. GL, I can't wait to see baby pics, I am sure he will be here soon.



I am still 2cm, but a little more thinned out (eye rolling). I figured my cervix would be a little more dilated. My midwife did do the cervix sweep and I was having major contractions, but now they are back to normal. If he is ready he will come, if not, I would like to wash everyones bedding, the car, and clean out the laundry room. I know sounds crazy, but I have to stay busy.

Oh, I almost forgot, yesterday I got my first varicose vein ever and it is in my groin area.....I thought I was going to die!!! It hurt so bad everytime I stood up yesterday. Today it is a little better. My midwife took a look and said I should stay off my feet and elevate them if possible.....hahaha. I will try my best, but sitting drives me crazy. I think this little guy just needs to come and then I don't have to worry about it....lol.

Awe thanks :) We had some of the nipple shaped pacis but switched to orthodontic ones, I think they are mam, anyway he loves em and I slept more last night.
Sorry you didn't hear great news today, I always hoped I'd go in and she'd say "omg your 5cm and your water just broke, off to delivery you go" lol Hope the sweep works and your little fella comes soon!
I had varicose veins on my labia with dd2 and Charlie, they didn't hurt much and luckily they went away.

3P1B, Charlie is adorable!! I love the picture of him laughing.... what a little cutie!!

WP, how awful--vericose veins sound so painful! :( hope that little guy comes soon!!

girlmom--36 weeks!! That is awesome!!
