Funny story: We had a roofer come to our house today for an estimate. He was 30 minutes early and was knocking on the door as I was drying off from a shower! I did the 8mo pregnant lady shuffle to try to get dressed and put shoes on so I could let him in! I answered the door panting! I'll have you know I got dressed completely (with socks AND shoes) in less than 3 minutes. :)

Wow Ditty! I think I would have had to throw on a robe. You are good!
 
Is anyone else prepping for Thanksgiving? This year we are doing Thanksgiving at our house as I am not in the traveling mood. :haha: We will have a full house and I am excited about being with such good company however, I feel the urge to scrub every nook in my house now. :haha: I'm a neat freak anyway but when there is a big gathering, I especially want my house in top order. It doesn't help that DH is sleeping through the majority of the day when I need to be doing all my cleaning which means I have to wait until later in the day when I am not feeling up to cleaning. I think I may go a little crazy tonight.

Also I am so excited because we will be putting up our tree and decorations on Friday!!! I may have to get DH or my FIL to haul the stuff out of the shed for me. :happydance:
 
Oh Sassy. I kinda wish I was staying, well, actually... I've been in a strange mood this week because I know I have to go to my in laws for 4 whole days. 8 hour drive. Ugh.
We didn't know if we wanted to leave wednesday or thursday morning... because of traffic. And when we told MIL she suddenly decided that she was making a Thanksgiving LUNCH not dinner. So we now need to leave wednesday night with insane insane Dallas traffic. I think she is just pissed that hubby has the week after this one off work and we decided not to spend it with them. But only 2 things can happen out of the madness of driving:
1. Hubby will be so pissed at traffic that he will decide to never ever go again on a Thanksgiving. LOL
2. If we leave Thursday morning (really early) we might just make it to lunch without me having to stand there in the kitchen following instructions and cooking by her side all freaking morning. LOL (My feet will be swollen as is anyhow) hahahahaha.
 
wow yikes! Have a safe trip and hopefully you won't have stand there cooking or ever have make the trip again for thanksgiving. :haha:

My mom will probably be doing most of the cooking here. She knows I can't be up on my feet too long or they puff up and with a house full of people, I may not have the luxury of propping my feet up if they become balloons. I'm actually thankful not to have to go anywhere this year. As much as my house will make me think it is dirty hahahahaha I would rather be home than anywhere else.
 
thought i'd share this with you all :) this is from my midwife appointment today :cloud9:

Ditty - socks? I've not seen a pair in a few months, let alone my feet. Although I didn't see much of them before being pregnant due to my ( . ) ( . ) :rofl:

Thanks giving is always a holiday I wish we had in the UK, looks like so much fun and a time to share with family and friends. Can't wait to hear how it goes this year for you ladies x
 
Not sure if this going to work.. Never attatched a photo like this before.... This is me at 32/3

I am helping my mother in law start cooking on Wednesday night! :) for the past 3 years(since his mom always cooks for every holiday) I help her the night before with prepping and cooking the things that can be cooked the night before etc. Its kind of our bonding moment. We love to cook and bake together so it is nice.

I was never really that close with my own mother (she was always busy working, or when she got re-married kind of put us on the back burner, dont get me wrong, I love my mother dearly and I spend every Friday with her but I dont think she ever taught me to cook anything, in fact, she never even taught me how to do my laundry lol because she is very much like me and likes to do everything herself....then the whole divorce with my dad didnt help. But she is remarried now and very much happy so I support her and wish the best for her... we do our shopping thing and what not on fridays though :)

But anyway off topic, on Wednsday night we will prep.. and on Thursday I will help her with the odds n ends.. WE do the same thing for Christmas Eve and Christmas day too. His grandmothers come over, his cousins and their children come over too, aunt, brother, g/f.. so its about 15 people over every holiday.. full house! But we enjoy it.. cant complain..

Then Friday (I hate shopping with the crowds, hubby and I put up our tree and decorate the house.) We throw some Christmas music on, some Christmas movies and just enjoy the day together. I look forward to it :)
 
Ladies who haven't had a chance to check betheney's journal, she has been induced and is having strong contractions. I believe she has has a show / some blood so things seem to be moving along for her. Let us all keep her and bump in our thoughts. X

If you want to read her journal go to page one of this thread and click on the link to her journal at the base. X
 
Thanks, Sonia. I've been checking it periodically. Sending tons of love, :hug: and prayers her way.
 
Praying for a healthy bean for Betheney. Baby will certainly be in the NICU for awhile but with her pre-eclampsia this is much safer.

One of my classemates from middle school's mother died from pre-eclampsia because she refused induction or a section. She had a massive stroke. The paramedics were able to keep her alive long enough to get the baby out but he suffered from oxygen deprivation and is severely handicapped. Both Betheney and baby are safer with induction.
 
Well, just peeked on Betheney's journal, a friend of hers just updated: She just had her baby, sex unknown because hubby hasn't made it to hospital yet.
 
Hope baby is doing well, will have to check the journal! God this all seems so real now!

Sonia, how did they tell you to store your expressed milk? Ie in what?
 
Oh, the manifestation of forever gratefulness! See, I take a very long time to write and send out my "Thank you notes" because I'm not used to writing thank you's down. Back where I come from you say it verbally, at the moment of giving the present or you call them. But do not send out "Thank You Notes." As nice as it is to receive and give them, I really have a hard time finding words to write them down haha. It took me like 3 months for my wedding and I really don't want it to be that bad this time around for baby shower, so I've decided to finish them today. I hope they don't compare them, because they would be extremely redundant hahahaha.

They gave us these 1ml syringe tubes to collect any colostrum in, they said your midwife or surgery will have stocks of them so just ask. X
 
Is this common practise at your hospital then, my midwife hasn't said anything? When do they recommend you start?

I just wrote down all the addresses on the envelopes.. and did the monetary gift ones (very redundant as well haha) and then I am going to do the rest.. I have 50 of them to do :( Im sure I will get them done over the holiday since i have 6 days off of work!
