OMG 3P1B that is FAB!!!!! I am so happy for you! Yay Charlie! Do you have to do anything to make sure he stays put? And now they will let you just go into labor whenever, right?

Babydes! I think about you often lady, so glad to see you around I'm glad to hear it has been a great pregnancy for you! I'm better. Not necessarily accepting this as the end though, which is kind of the thing that I guess has helped. I keep thinking we will just have a 4th. But then I get terrified at having 4th and still not having a son; I mean, I don't know what I could possibly do differently next time except hope for luck to fall on my side, and I'm 3 for 3 on not getting my DG so don't have a ton of hope that I'm lucky in this area of life. I can't say I'm super thrilled to have another girl but I'm definitely happy to have another child, and that's been the best progress because for awhile I just totally regretted the pregnancy. Now I'm at least glad we've got one coming, which is good since she's coming soon, LOL!

I had an u/s again today to check baby's growth and not surprisingly she's 90% in size for gestational age right now. So we have a follow-up in 4 weeks, since now til birth is when they gain the most weight. But the fluid levels are still good, which is the danger with larger babies, so that's a plus.

Yeah, Jen!!! I am so happy for you. It must have been that breech that was making you so uncomfortable.

B: Wow, you are going to have a big one. Will they induce you early? How big was your last one?

[3Pink1Blue]

B- now it's all about walking. Gravity will help to lock him down.

WP- it probably was but now I feel differently about it. Before I was afraid it was his hips locking into mine, now I'm hoping it's his head locking down.

[Tink18]

yay for all the happy news here!!! I am just trucking along at 18 weeks now. That's all I have!

WP DD2 was 9lbs 2 oz; it doesn't really worry me to have another one that size, but I sure would prefer we don't go far over that! She was born the day after her due date.

My doctor said we can just wait and see on whether we do the induction. I was induced with DD1 (2 days after due date) and had a great experience, but it was really nice with DD2 just to go into labor on my own, and since I know I can semi-comfortably birth a larger baby I'm not worried about it, so will likely wait as long as possible... I'd definitely prefer not to have an induction earlier than my due date but I also don't want a 10 lb baby. So we'll see how it goes!

Jen you should sleep standing up for the next couple of weeks

[3Pink1Blue]

woohoo Tink! I can't believe you're almost halfway there!

B - 9lbs 2oz! you are one tough lady!
I should sleep standing up lol

[WashingtonPromise]

B: Wow, you are a strong women. 9 lbs is a big one. Do your children ever wear newborn size?

Tink: Yep, I just keep thinking 18wks is so far off, but I am right behind you. This pregnancy is flying by.

Jen: How do you know when Charlie is "locked" in place?

Has anyone seen Capricorn on here lately?

Thank goodness it is going to be a slow weekend around here. I feel like I am still recoverying from the holidays. I think laundry will be the hightlight of my weekend

[3Pink1Blue]

I'll be given a quick u/s every week to confirm his position but if he's anything like dd2 it'll feel like I'm sitting on his head and one good sneeze will launch him out lol

Yeah, where is CA?

[skrimpy]

Jen I have heard that walking stairs helps them to settle down into position, and also walking with one foot on the sidewalk and one down on the street, lol. Also, deep squats will help too, if you can do them.

I can't believe you gals are so close to having your little ones!!!

[hope.ful]

Jen, that's AWESOME!!!!!! Way to go, Charlie!!! I am so excited for you; can't imagine how relieved you feel! And you'll feel much better in just a couple weeks when he comes. I can't wait to hear all about him!

I'm 6 weeks. No dr appointment for another two weeks from Monday. I know, boring, right?!

Begonia, I'm watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition about the 7 homes in 7 days and it makes me so thankful for my girls. Life is such a gift. I know your sweet baby girl is going to be such a doll!
