Morning ladies...

Kclynn ~ Reyli is adorable. And it sounds like he is doing great!! 6lbs 4oz already...he is a little peanut!

Saltire ~ Glad you are going to join us again! That is great. I will cross my fingers and toes for you. Do you want to be added to the TTC list?? Just let us know.

Well, it's official...I don't sleep anymore. OMG, I am so tired. Plus when I am trying to go to sleep, that is when my mind is turning thinking about everything. I have to try to learn to turn it off.

I am so sore this morning too. I don't know if her butt or foot is in my side, but I am getting those sharp pains again and it is on the same side that my back is sore, so it is unbearable sometimes. I feel like I am constantly pressing my right side in because it makes it feel a little better - but you can only do so much work with only one hand, so I have to let go at times.

People keep asking me if I am ready...All I can say is "Mentally and emotionally, I don't know yet...but physically, YES!!"

Well, this complaining lady has to get some work done...I feel so unproductive lately. BBL

Dar20 · 07-26-2005, 07:47 AM

{{{Amy}}} I sure hope Sara doesn't take her time, for your sake!!!

Part of me doesn't want to rush her...for my anxiety reasons, and the other is like "Get the heck out of me!!"

I was posting on another board how I am afraid to "do the deed" with DH because I am afraid it will a.) hurt or b.) make me go into labor.

But, I am almost tempted to just do it...I know the chances are slim that it will put me into labor, but I am still so terrified.

But, yes, a major part of me just wants her out!! LOL

Luna · 07-26-2005, 08:14 AM

Hey Amy,

hang in there!

GoJackets · 07-26-2005, 08:50 AM

Hey Amy!! Hadn't chatted with you in a while....I've been lurking to keep up with you. Hang in there! Can't wait for Sara to get here!!!

jeepifer · 07-26-2005, 08:52 AM

Amy, you've already done so well... just a teeny bit longer now! I'm a couple of months behind you and I'm already bargaining with Eleanor as to how long she needs to stay in here.

My best advice on the "deed" front is to take it slow and use lots of *ahem* your favorite moisturizing stuff (if needed) to keep discomfort to a minimum.

I'm sitting here thinking that if I deliver this baby when I did my first DD, I only have 7 weeks (or less) to go!

DH and I had a long talk last night, and we decided at this point it would be stupid for me to continue to job-hunt with less than 2 months to go. So we bit the bullet and made financial arrangements to last for the next 4 months to cover my "income" and make sure the bills are paid.

On the plus side, this gives me all but 2 days a week home with my DD, and hopefully some time to devote to building up my real estate business. I just wish I wasn't so huge and tired all the time. But you can't have everything.

Chrissy, glad to hear you're TTC again!

Hi to everyone!

-- Jenn

Louise · 07-26-2005, 09:15 AM

Good Morning, ladies!

Amy--Sorry you are so sore! Hang in there

.

Jenn--Sorry you are tired all the time. I can't imagine being pregnant and having a toddler too.

I seem to have a bit of energy this week! Of course, I felt great last Monday-Wednesday, then started going down hill. I did manage to work out last night, and should be able to again tonight. I even cooked dinner last night and went to Lowes for the darn dehumidifier. I weighed myself this morning, and I am down a pound from last week. I am so glad. I know I shouldn't be losing, but I am just so happy I didn't gain more. I think that just increasing my water and being able to exercise should help me a lot.

Well, I've been in a meeting all morning, so I better get busy.

SmileyAmy · 07-26-2005, 09:19 AM

Dena ~ Glad all my "already mommies" are checking in on my still. I can't believe I am basically done!! Don't you all remember my being a PITA while TTC!!

Seems like just yesteday! Guess I will be joining you all on the LTBF Thread soon enough. Hope I can keep up with you all.

Jenn ~ Sorry you are getting uncomfortable this early...I guess I have had a pretty easy pregnancy. Even now, the pain in my back and side are my only issues. No swelling, no weight gain, no braxton hicks...nothing.

That is great that you will be able to stay home a couple of days a week until baby gets here. I wish I could do that. I keep trying to figure out if there is a way for me to stop working, or work short weeks or half days, but I don't want to give up precious time that I might be able to spend with Sara.

I might have my manager give me an update as of 8/1 as to how much time I have and maybe if I don't go by the end of next week, I will just bite the bullet. I know I also accrue time while I am on maternity so I know by the end of maternity I will have another 4 days - so maybe if I just count on that. ??? I am so uncomfortable at work.

SmileyAmy · 07-26-2005, 09:23 AM

Louise ~ You snuck in...glad you are feeling good today. Just don't over do it, thinking you have all the energy in the world and then you make yourself more tired. I don't think losing a pound is a big deal. As long as you are eating well. I am still down 4lbs from my prepregnancy weight and that is after gaining a few pounds from my original down 7lbs.

LunaAshling · 07-26-2005, 11:45 AM

I have to bring this up.......and its akward!

If you are "late" in the game and want to take it all the way and are in a position to "possibly" go into labor......... I HIGHLY suggest wearing a condom.

Why you ask when the deed has already been done?

Cause if you do go into labor and head to the hospital.... do you REALLY want to see the looks on everyones faces when they are checking you out and having to put their hands in that?

LunaAshling · 07-26-2005, 11:45 AM

Do NOT ask me how I know this.

sure I would love to be added to the TTC list. I am just going to use this month to discover charting and not expect too much from it. I went through a major trauma and my body will get pregnant when it has healed itself.

jojolw · 07-26-2005, 07:23 PM

Hi to everyone, thanks Amy for inviting me back again! In case no one remembers me, my name is Dal, I'm mom to 2 girls aged 7 and 4, and my EDD is Spet 14/05. Hoping for a boy this time, but I'll take what I can get lol! Sorry I've missed so much, as I was telling Amy I was without a computer for quite awhile, and by the time I got it back I was completely off LC and was embarassed to come back here

. I am almost up to my original before LC weight, but I'm trying to take it easy for the next 7 weeks! I don't want to be starting completely over again, but Dairy Queen seems to call my name on a regular basis these days! Lord give me strength.....

Anyway, I will try to go back and read some previous posts to catch up, so in the meantime no individuals till I'm a little more in the loop, I guess. Take care mommies and mommies to be!

Dal
