HOPE - Congrats on Ian. Glad to know things are going well so far. DH and I have already discussed how we're handling pictures of our LO and online/social media. We may post 1-2 pictures of her when she's born but after that we won't be putting many if any pictures up for a long time. I only want to put artistic pictures of her up with me and DH - nothing too candid - since I'm all about artsy stuff.
BRIENNA - Sorry to hear the VBAC may not work out, but here's to hoping it does. 9 lbs is a decent weight though, so you know no matter what your LO will be healthy.

And glad to know you're close to the hospital. We live 8 minutes from the hospital via the highway, so knock on wood we don't have to drive there during rush hour - then might be about 15-20.
VIETMAMSIE - Interesting to know there is that much liquid in there. Did they say what caused that to happen at all? I guess it's good that baby's well protected, but I can definitely see how it can be a disadvantage since they can move however they want. Are you able to feel your LO a lot considering the situation? I was wondering about that. Hopefully you are.
LISA - Sorry to hear about your BF situation. I know for me I couldn't imagine how that feels, and hope things get better. I still need to wash all of my pump parts and pack that in my bag for the hospital since I plan on using the pump right away (other than maybe the first or second BF attempt just so I know what to do if the pump doens't work).
EBONY - Good luck with the induction. I'm so glad you made it to this point as I know you were really concerned at the beginning.
AFM - Still working and plan to until our LO tells me it's time. As of yesterday I found out my manager isn't having me work on any new work because of my upcoming maternity leave. So that leaves me to work on the case work I've been working on for a while, which I'm not going to lie...this is only day 2 of it, but I'm so bored already. Every day I'm sure is going to get longer and longer for me in terms of being busy. I guess I won't feel so bad then if I don't make up time then when I go to my doctor appointments. lol
The only thing that does suck about still working at times is my back and ab muscle pains kick in at times, which make sitting at my desk hard to do.
We did a little last minute shopping this weekend for some items for Amber, including getting extra bottles, got her a few clothing items for next year when she's older, a few extra toiletry items (baby powder, baby oil, etc).
DH is also hoping she doesn't come early since we're going to the Milwaukee Brewers home opener game on Monday. He was a little upset (jokingly) because he put in for the ticket lottery every year for the last 6 years and never got it, but this year his name got picked to get tickets. So he's really hoping she'll cooperate and let us go to at least one baseball game before she comes. I know for me this Friday is probably going to be my last hockey game to attend for a while, so we're both hoping she'll cooperate. LOL But after Monday next week we're going to try to start using the inducing techniques.
