My boys were 6lb 13 and 6lb 14 at 38 weeks when I had them, but I was told DS2 was going to be much bigger than he was based on the scan I had done to check his size. I was told the scan was not that accurate at measuring how big they are going to be? Did they say that there is a big margin either side of their guess TTC5 (ie he could be smaller than that or bigger?) Or has technology changed now? DS2 will be 5 in Dec so it is going back a bit.

Mocha, lol @ hazmat team comment. Yeah, sometimes DHs can be so wimpy about messes!

TTC5, he's going to be so big and strong!! I still think you'll go first out of all of us prob!!

Well, Weds night and thurs am my braxton hicks contractions were starting to "appear" regular, and the baby seemed so restless that I was in so much pain I had to call out from work on thurs and go see my doctor. I didn't really think I was in labor, but I wanted to get looked at. My OB is on vacation this week, so I saw a diff dr in the practice, and the lady really blew me off! I was also experiencing bowel issues and nausea issues, and she very bluntly said, "did you come here just to see if you're in labor?" and I like, "umm I think it's just braxton hicks, but yeah I'd like some kind of reassurance." She checks me, and says my cervix is really closed and is in the middle of nowhere, and then acted like I ws like some of hypochrondic! I've never rushed to the OB like that before, it's jsut I was in so much pain and the pain was coming every 10 mins for a while there, and it freaked me out.....

She's head down I think and it's very uncomfortable...I am just so ready to meet her...part of it is anxiousness to hold her in my arms, and the other part is just to have relief from the discomfort of being so big. I know the month will fly by before we know it, or I hope so....

well the kitchen is done, and ulility room is put together again. Just gotta get appliance guy out today to fix the ice maker that ws broken, and unpack the boxes from the kitchen. It was so funny--yesterday I was too sore and in too much pain to let the nesting begin, and it was all I kept dreaming about for weeks!

love your baby bump auroara, you look great for 35 weeks

[Mochagirl]

auroara - you look great!

Sorry the doctor treated you so badly. I've been having lots of contractions too, and there've been a few times I've wondered if I might go into early labour. I never had painful contractions before actual labour in the past, so this is all new territory for me. I'd hate to think that if I went in to get it checked out they'd treat me like an idiot.

Mocha, my husband would never fish a poop out of the tub! DD2 is a tub pooper--she has done it several times. I am always the one who cleans it up

[Hobbermittens]

Thanks for the link, pinkin! I also redid the conversion for your son's birth weight--6.6 lbs. Much better than 7000!

TTC5, your baby is big for 34 weeks~ that's good if you go early!

Lynxie, I will have to check out the bras. I am still wearing the one I have and it is shredding! I need a new one ASAP.

Auroara, you look super cute! Not much longer now! I can't believe the Dr. blew you off--what a witch. You should be taken seriously! What if you WERE in labor? Glad your house is put back together. Enjoy nesting when you feel up to it!
