mail: I can't wait to see shower pics!! Sounds amazing. Especially your DH!! Lucky woman you.

Twinkie: I had a lot of intestinal cramping right before I went into labor. I heard that your body likes to evacuate your bowels before you go into labor, so maybe you are closer than you think!

Colta: LOL! When I am moody I am like a crazy woman. I hope a little rest does you good!

I wish/hope it is that, but no running to bathroom yet either I seriously am beginning to think that this child is just far too comfy. Wish I had a Dr. appt this week, I would love to know if I am dilated any farther. I feel like I am walking around at like a 5/6 and this little stinker is refusing to budge OK i know that isn't likely, but who knows?

 

[Twinkie210]

Colta- I feel you on the being tired. And I am the WORST person in the world to be around when I am tired, LOL, even in my non pregnant state. I required at minimum 8 hrs of sleep and would prefer 10. My family has learned to avoid me when I am in such a mood

 

[moter98]

Oh my gerd! I'm so tired today! I feel like I got hit with the sleepy truck. It's 9pm here, and I've been ready for bed since 6pm.
I feel bad for DH, I've been a major crank pot today... yelling at him, at the dogs, the cats, the car, the fridge... you name it.
I'm going to sleep like the dead tonight.

maybe some pregnancy symptoms going on there?!

LOL... that's what DH said too. I think I'm just coming down with something though (no way I'd be that lucky! We only DTD once on the one day I had EWCM)... my nose is stuffy and my throat is a bit sore, I'm head achy... seems just like a run of the mill cold.
But yeah... I guess we'll find out one way or another. From what I can gather from my chart, I'm actually 8dpo, so only another 5-6 days until Af is due and we find out for sure.

Sounds like bfp to me. My first symptoms have always mimicked a cold!

 

[mailcmm]

Sounds lIke bfp to me too! Fxd for you.

Twinkie... When is your csection again? I hope he starts something sooner.

Moter... Will look into the cardpool thing.

Afm... I am beat. Shower was amazing. Here's some photos...

Favorite gift

 

[MightyMom]

OMG that shower looks AMAZING!!!! And I am totally jealous of the blue coach diaper bag. What shoes did you end up wearing??

 

[moter98]

oh WOW! i've never seen such a gorgeous shower! love it all.

 

[mailcmm]

Thanks guys. My sil did a great job. It was amazing. As for shoes I had some madden fuchsia wedge sandals. I was looking for shoes for the shower in November being thrown by esil. Speaking of esil. My best friends mom is very wierd with predictions. She just has this sense. All our lives if she says it will be or that it is we listen whole heartedly. She been right too many times for me to ignore. Now I have not, nor has my BFF, ever told her about my issues with my inlaws. This am before they left she pulled me aside and said what do you think of your inlaws. I said they are ok but they don't like me very much. She looked me square in the eyes and said they hate you. They will never like you. Be very careful not to let them ruin your marriage. Stay away, visit as little as possible. I see their hatetred rolling off them in waves. You trust me i know. She hugged me and said, "I am old I may not make the next shower." I said we aren't planning on another. She says there will be one more. You're not done. Kissed me and left. My BFF said another one for mom. Total craziness.

 

[MightyMom]

Wow that is unnerving. I would listen to her. People with that type of prescience usually see energies that we are oblivious to. Maybe you can get esil to cancel that shower??

 

[moter98]

I have goosebumps!

 

[moter98]

a friend of mine has in-laws like yours. they have always hated her simply because she got pregnant before marriage. it was all her fault that she got pregnant, not their sons, according to them. for the first 7 years of their marriage, things were always hard for them when it came to the in-laws. so much so, they actually moved to a different state for 3 years. now that they are back, they have agreed to set boundaries for the in-laws. she realizes she can't expect her dh to not have any contact with them. but the most important thing she realized is that she cannot change their opinion of her, nor can she change them. but she can change her reaction to it. she no longer gets so upset by things they say or do and really has minimal contact with them now. they don't let it affect their marriage anymore. it's kind of just one of those things that is really unfortunate, but they don't fight over it anymore. i suppose you could say she's at peace with it now. and she has stopped letting what they do hurt her. in the end, the in-laws are only hurting themselves. because of how they are, they don't get to see their grandkids very much, nor their daughter in-law.

 

[mailcmm]

Thats where I am. It upsets me but he can't not see them. We only go a couple times a year and they never come here so I just swallow it for the holidays. Shower is over thaNksgiving which was a stoke of genius by me to not have to make two trips. I suggested that more of his friends would be in town and we are having a joint shower. Also told them they had to invite my family so I won't be alone. We have one other trip their this year but it's for my dd. she has a horseshow in that town. But we will be pretty busy with that. Next year I can blame Finn for a decline in visits. They won't stay in my home if they do come so it would be day visits where they overnight in hotels if at all.

Mighty... How was dr apt? Wasn't that on Thursday?

 

[Twinkie210]

Mail- I know I have mentioned this, but my MIL has never stayed at my house since DH and I have been married! She didn't visit until DS was 3 months onld (and that was for my niece's first birthday and Christmas) and she isn't planning on visiting until Christmas again this year. Yet each time my SIL pops out a kid she comes and visits for a couple weeks. My kids get the shaft. But my parents are great and if you ask me make up for the fact that DH has crappy parents (we only see his dad a handful of times a year too and he lives 30 minutes from us! everytime we make plans, he cancels. But he will probably come see Liam in the hospital, not that I really care.) I quit trying to make time even when my in laws are visiting on holidays. I don't think it is fair to my family who makes time for their nephew/grandson throughout the year, to take time away from them just because my MIL finally decided to visit??? I am sorry that you don't get to see my child very much but that is your problem. You know where we live.

 

[MightyMom]

Yeah, we had an appointment on Thursday. It went fine. Scan showed a bigger fetus with a heartbeat of I think 134bpm. We're going in again in two weeks. For some reason I can't get too excited about it. It's like I'm afraid that if I get happy about this pregnancy it will suddenly end. I'm just...guarded. Not that I'm worrying all the time, I'm not. I'm just detached.

 

[mailcmm]

Twinkie... It really sucks but I feel the same way. My family goes out of their way too. I have tried for several years now to be as fair as I can be. Now I am gonna give up. If dh decides to go I will go but usually I tell him. So from now on I won't push it.

 

[mailcmm]

So glad mighty. I am sure it will turn out fine. I understand being guarded. I was that way until 12 wks. Just worried if I got excited it would go away. I still worry. Check the tp and feel like that any minute something will go wrong. Hate that feeling.

 

[moter98]

Glad all is well mighty. Hang in there. You are gettin closer to the 12 week mark
