Good morning ladies!

Not a lot of time this morning...busy, busy shift.

I do want to say I hope that nothing is wrong Michelle. Just a few more days to go!

Haven't heard from Surfdol since the 8th. Maybe she had her baby and she is just too busy. Hope she is ok and checks in soon.

Well, that's all for now.

Ames

bah sorry you had a busy work night.


It seems everything is ok, at least as far as she is telling me. I am sure she will be along shortly to post. I got the jump on her since I have to work this morning.

Morning Ladies!!!

Thanks Ames....as hubby said, it does seem all is ok but I'm still being conscience of her movements.

Jen.....Murphy is GORGEOUS!! He's soooo cute!!


We got so much done yesterday!! There is absolutely nothing left for us to do in preparation for this little one other than a final cleaning of the house. We had our Christmas last night with my son, including turkey and the fixings. I definitely ate too much and my body was telling me to relax from all the work we did. So I was in bed early last night (not on purpose, fell asleep watching tv).

Anyway....have some errands to run today with my son so that they are taken care of before we go to the hospital on Thursday.

Here's some pics from last night, even a shot of a VERY pregnant me! I can't believe how big I am (ok ladies see, even us "big girls" still LOOK pregnant)....pre-baby I'd finally lost enough to where my stomach wasn't out further than my lil boobies, not the case right now!

ME:



BIG BROTHER TO BE:



HUBBY (kb3) AND I:



Sorry they are so big

Hi There,

Michelle! You look marvelous! It's great to finally see what the brat (and her family) look like. Great pictures. You look very calm and rested....not sure if that reflects how you feel.

KarateJen - Murphy is gorgeous! Love the karate outfit.

I have lots to catch up on. Some of you know DH lost his grandfather yesterday, so we have been busy. The visitation is tonight and the funeral is tomorrow. We also have our ultrasound tomorrow too.

I will pop in and let you know how things went. Hope to catch up with everyone soon!

Dena, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

Wasn't this supposed to be the fun trimester? I guess if you're not overdoing it like me, it would be. As I had said this weekend, we were out all day Saturday from about 10 am to 7 pm finishing (almost) the registry and Christmas shopping. I was in SO much pain Saturday.

Well, yesterday we decided to paint the chair rail we had put up Friday in the nursery and then put down the quarter round to finish out the floor. Ugh.. more pain. My fault, I know...

Now that DH has picked out the colors for the nursery, and we've gone and painted, we can't find any girl bedding sets or themes that coordinate! Why does everything have to be a horrible pink? Argh...

Oh, we also bought a stroller Saturday. We were going to register, but they had this year's 'models' and they were on clearance. We couldn't register for one, and we just couldn't pass up on the price, anyways. So, we took one home. Oh, my! Kind of scary when I think about it....

Today is DH's birthday, too!

I'll check back later!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one in pain! I have been dealing with the same thing.....I feel better now. They say we are supposed to feel our best during the second trimester, but we aren't supposed to over do it....well, when else are we going to get things done?

To DH!

LOL, exactly! Yeah, I have to pee alot and I get pain from my little growth spurts, but I can still move around, bend over, etc. Things need to be done! I can't put them off, it will only get worse!

Dena, do you think you've felt the baby yet? I had a really good kick on Saturday, it actually startled me.. I can't imagine what they'll be like as she gets bigger and stronger.

I guess I should prepare myself for the onslaught of belly touching when the in-laws are in town next week, huh? MIL, FIL, SIL, 2 nephews, and 1 niece. Yikes!

Take your own advice girls....get it done while you can without overdoing it because the "overdoing it effects" only get worse in your 3rd trimester.

I think I have....but having nothing to comapre it to....I can't say it with confidence....but there has been something going on down there other than gas although it's exactly what it feels like.

TMI Warning - DH passed gas the other day and said "AHA! I felt the baby move!"

He was making fun of me because every time he asks if I felt it move, I tell him I think it's gas.

Vixendrop - the wedding pictures were great. Your dress was gorgeous. Was the wedding cake in three shades, or was that the camera? It looked really cool. Everyone was beautiful. great looking family. Congratulations!!!

Hi ladies...

I am so, so busy today. I have another u/s today at 11:45 - just to make sure the heartbeat is getting stronger. DH is coming this time! So, that takes a chunk out of today and I am leaving early from work tomorrow - 2:30 - for my first "real" doctors appt. Then, I am off the rest of the week. So, I have a lot to do in a day and a half!

Dena ~ Hugs to DH. Sorry about his grandfather.

Michelle ~ You look great! DH and DS are cute!

Well, got to go!

Good morning ladies!! It seems we are all VERY busy with these baby preperations and Christmas. I finally wrapped presents last night and that took 2 1/2 hours...and that wasn't even all of them. I am going to go finish shopping today and have lunch with a friend to exchange gifts. Man, I REALLY don't remember feeling this tired the last two times at the end!! I have my last doctor's appointment tomorrow...so I'm thinking I might just go in to the hospital after that and let them break my water. I just really want to be out by Friday, and I would have to have him tonight or tomorrow to be out by then. So, that's pretty much all that is going on here...!

Ames-Hope you weren't too busy at work...how's the nursery coming??

Michelle-Love the pics!! You gonna beat me to the hospital?!LOL

Dar-I agree with Michelle, get it all done in the 2nd trimester!! Tell your DH we all wish him a

Go Jacekts-Sorry for your loss. What a horrible time of year to have that happen.

Aphex-Love the pics!!

SmileyAmy-How exciting that DH gets to go with you!! Have a good week off work!!

Well, that's all for now!! Better go start moving around to try to start some contractions!! Talk to you all later!

GetNSlim ~ Crossing my fingers for you!! I hope that we DON'T hear from you after tomorrow morning.

So, thank goodness I am going to the doctors in a little while. I just went to the bathroom and I am spotting again. It is kinda a brownish pink.

Good morning. I just thought I would drop in and let everyone know that my D&C went well. My doctor was so wonderful through the whole thing. I have the closure that I needed.

I wish you all the best and healthiest of pregnancies. I will be lurking for the next few months, but I will be back.

SmileyAmy~ Try not to worry yourself too much (easier said than done, I know). Let us know how your ultrasound goes today.

hi Tracy....below is the last thread we've seen Mrs. Sarah post in as far as the pregnancy threads:
Pregnancy Thread...Wednesday, 12/15

As for Jeffiner....I think the last I read is that she isn't at work currently and she doesn't have internet access at home.

Hope this helps you

Thanks ~smiles~ the cake was three different shades... they were supposed to be light blue, ice blue, and white, but obviously that's not what we got... oh well, it could've been worse! ~smiles~
