Welcome "home"! WTG on the bfp. So EXCITED to see you've graduated with us and am looking forward to the other ladies getting in here soon! 
Well hello there stranger!
So good to see you! xo
Animal Cracker it's great to hear from u. Dunno if you remember me but we were quite worried about you on the other thread for a while. So glad that you come back with the wonderful news 
)))))) xx Are you thinking of trying again than? You had a miracle once and why not twice hahahahahah!!!!))
When are you starting? Is it part time or full time? Good luck hon.
But you know one thing, I wouldn't let the bb in a smokey room no matter who it is smoking. I was a smoker once and now I get a horrible itchy throat a head ache and a voice crack for a week when I sit with a smoking person for an hour. I wake up all exhausted the next day. So there is your answer. Your dad will have to go to the balcony or be bb deprived. U have to put some photos soon. Can't wait to see the nursery )
and my limbs have become like sausages. Let's see what I will become like in a few months. I don't care that much though except when I glimpse at a big mirror in a shop. Luckily all mirrors in our flat is torso size )) I'm sure it's all good though. This baby wanted to come along so fingers xed it will be a keeper. But funny enough I tend to calm down more when I know the obstacle. Decided to give the midwife a miss and go along with the hospital's suggestions. We'll see what comes Thank you all for the shopping suggestions. I think I'll start soon so I'll be prepared just in case.
to all lovely ladies I didn't mention xxxxx
What I want to know is how the doctor can tell. It's not like they can fit a ruler in there, or anything... I know it can take a while once you start dilating. If I remember correctly, Anna was at 1 or 1.5 centimeters for a while before she finally went in to labor. 
At least you can honestly say you were in your 30's when you gave birth. MUCH better! 
I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for you. I'm completely amazed at your positive attitude - what a strong person you are! Make sure you get that trip planned - you certainly deserve it!!
everyone!! to those that need it and
congrates to those that end it 
Congratulations! Doesn't it feel wonderful?
Since I married a man 19 years older than me, I have no problems having this baby now and hopefully to have more, even as I pass 40. I hate cleaning, so I may need to drop that hint... So sorry about the sore cervix! Praying for the a safe and healthy weekend, even if that means LABOR!!!! WOO! I'll just keep changing subjects around them and keep visits short if this stuff keeps up! I'll focus on poppy and charlie!
I'm secretly baking him some cookies for tonight.....I'm trying some fun ideas for them so if they come out well, I'll post them up. 
Have a great 8 month anniversary. Me and my hubby will be celebrating 2 years on Monday.
to Anna, Jules, Angela, Terri, Viv (hope you are doing better. Please keep us posted on you and Callum), Rowan, CJ Chris #1, Carole hopefully I didnt miss anyone else if I did HUGS to you too! 
. I slept with the video monitor by my side so I could see her. At some point I looked up and the screen was black. I woke my hubby up who looked at it and said "I don't know what is wrong" then turned back over to go back to sleep!!! 
I woke him again and said well does it need batteries and he said it has a charger and probably needed to be charged. I went and got the charger and YAY back in business I nursed her for about 30-40 minutes and then put her back in the bassinette by my bed
She woke again around 6:30 and then I laid her on my chest and slept for another 2 hours So now, I am extremely sleepy
. I am hoping that in the next week or so, I can get used to getting up to feed/change her and then getting up to go to work. I also want to start working out again in the mornings, as I have 20lbs that I still need to lose. 
Katelyn's clothes are clean but me and the DH are running low LOL. .
I was terrified when she took it out that Amelia would just fall out but everything seems fine. Today is Friday and I "should" be getting the injection today but they too stopped last friday. I've heard stories of women going into labor a wk after their last injection which would be next week. I DO hope it's not so. Especially since todays appt. showed her still transverse only she moved to opposite sides. :duh: Amelia has a mind of her own that's for sure. She makes me laugh.
afternoon ladies!
Animalcrackers - looks like we are almost exactly the same in weeks....What is your due date? Mine is Feb 20th..... I see from our tickers we are both onions!
I look at being an older mom like I do my men: the more mature you are, the more you can handle things
sunshine, I love your idea of nesting
skye - I already know I have to have a c-section (due to a fractured and out-of-place tailbone) so it's easier for me to accustom myself to it, but I'm sure I'd be nervous if I thought to go naturally all along then be hit with the c-section later. My best friend had her baby last January and was pushing for 2 days when they did an emergency c-section. she was so nervous and I was with her for the whole time when her water broke too early (6 weeks early) and the c-section went perfectly, healthy baby, safe mama and she healed just fine quickly. It really was the best thing, so while I'm hoping you don't have to go through it, I'm sure all will go smoothly. And we're here praying for you and baby too!
MA - how you feeling with the stitch out? hope you have a great nest-filled weekend!
I'm hoping Lava is enjoying her long weekend, it's deliciously chilly here in Boston today but the beach still sounds lovely.
I want to thank you all for your supportive words and thoughts to me as I deal with a very difficult family. It's comforting to know that it's not my hormones and I'm not over-reacting.
speaking of Charlie, he just came home for lunch and brought be beautiful magenta daisies and some lunch....it's our 8 month anniversary today!
To everyone else, have a wonderful afternoon!

Two days in and so far no relief. It's supposed to be considerably better by the third day so we'll see. If by Sophie's six week milestone BF isn't on track and pain free I will start the weaning process ad swith her to formula. That will have been two months of BF so that surely is better than nothing.
My Dr. placed her hands on my stomach and said she could feel fluttering. (Although I couldn't feel a thing!) I guess it is normal to feel this way, but I can't wait until the 27th gets here.
And don't worry about not feeling the fluttering. I don't think I felt a thing until about week 23 or 24. Now she's squirming all over the place... Although I must admit - at this point I'd rather see her squirming around out here than feeling her in there!
