welcome louise! i hope you like it here! congrats on your watermelon!
charlotte, i'm so sorry you are feeling down. i get cramps at night or when i'm laying down. i googled them and found the same thing claire did. it seems to be the uterus stretching to make room for baby. they can also be gas bubbles!
isn't it great what our bodies do when we're pregnant?!
naomi, i have the same birthday as mickey mouse! i've always wanted to go to disney on my birthday and run up to mickey and say, "happy birthday, mickey, it's my birthday too!" after 34 years, i finally get to!

won't i be a sight to see!?
kate, sorry i can't help with the mat pants issue. but i can say i'm pretty round myself from having the boys (can you still call it "baby weight" if the "babies" are 6 years old?!!) i gained 65 pounds when i was pg with them and never lost it.
good for you doing a workout and swimming! i would too, but i'm afraid of the water... and of exercise!

the steam room, sauna and hot tub are out for the next 9 months for us, though! it's too risky.
unfortunately, there are lists of things we can't/shouldn't do and eat. best to keep those bubs in there healthy, so i'll make as many sacrifices as i have to!
i have a horrible cough that i can't get rid of. i'm not sure if it's a cold coming on, or allergies (the weather has been acting up around here lately - it's supposed to be autumn, but we went from having weather at 60°F to 80+°F). i feel bad for bun because i feel like i'm shaking her around down there every time i cough! lol
so the boys will be coming home in about an hour. i really missed them last night. when tyler and i got home from the casino, they weren't here and it was really weird. my nom called and said they were no trouble, so that makes me happy!
i got dinner bubblin away in the crock pot and i can't wait to eat it. it smells wonderful!
i noticed i seem to ramble on

sorry that i keep posting novels!
