I had one a couple weeks ago at work too. I just like getting together with friends and family. Its a nice day and nice to celebrate the baby.
 
yay for the showers! i had a fab one with my first. some family wanted to throw me another one for my 4th but i already had so much stuff it just seemed silly. i had to talk my aunt out of it.

angela- whats wrong hun? are you ok?
 
Hi Blessed - I'm doing okay, thanks but not having my best day. Not sure if I have told you guys, but my Dad is very ill with prostate and bone cancer. You'll recall we just lost my grandmother a few weeks ago, but the situation with Dad has been a lot harder for me. He's been sick for several years, but only really ill (bedridden) for the last few months. Today, I got to work and my husband called to say that Dad's wife called to see if we can come home this weekend and see him. We are scheduled to go home next weekend anyway, but even knowing that he is asking that we come home this weekend too. I don't know if there is something they are not telling me or what, but I am really concerned that he thought it could not wait five more days (we'll go up this Sunday now, then back next Saturday regardless). I have been concerned for a while that they are not really telling me everything; I think he worries about my blood pressure becaues my mother had PE with me. So I know he does not want to worry me, but by not telling me things it actually worries me more. They've been telling me for the last few weeks that he is basically stable and as comfortable as possible, but then to get this phone call saying we really need to come home "right now" really threw me for a loop today. I started crying at work and of course could not stop crying :cry: - that is how I am these days with all these hormones. Once I lose my grip I can't stop the tears. So I had to come home from work and now I am just worried about everything.

Thanks for asking and I will keep you guys posted. In the meantime I am going to try to enjoy my shower tomorrow and try not to stress about Sunday.
 
oh angela- i do remember you saying something. i guess i just thought he was doing better now. im so sorry hun. that has to be lot on you. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!:hugs:
 
Thanks ladies. I am SO thankful to have the baby to give us something positive to focus on; it's just such an emotional roller coaster right now. Thank you for the prayers and love!
 
:hugs: angela that is a lot to deal with and to throw hormones in there makes it really tough. lots of :hugs: to you and best wishes for your dad
 
I've had a couple showers already--one with my family at christmas time, which was super early but since we live out of state it was their only opportunity to throw us a shower and it was a surprise and lots of fun. the second was with my coworker group...which was a nice potluck lunch and shower. both were fun. i got lots of baby clothes and books, and some gift cards (which will be handy when i need to buy the rest of the stuff like sheets etc!).
 
Yes, im actually hoping to get some sheets tomorrow!! I really just need some sleepers (babygrow's) and some sheets. I need to buy some curtains for the nursery but other than that i think we're pretty much set.
 
my hubby's work actually threw him one for us with our first son almost 4 years ago. i was still working at the time so i couldnt go, but it was cute to see him bringing home all this baby stuff from work. i asked him how razzed he got on his way out of work carrying all this baby stuff. he works at a place called bombardier, where they build and sell learjet airplanes. so there are a lot of guys there who would make fun of something like that.

with our last son we were due at the same time as two other guys that worked with him and had went to school with him while he was growing up. so that was kinda cool. i think they just had a party for them all
 
Yes i am ecstatic about mine. My first son i had when i was 16 so my mom didn't think it was appropriate for me to have a shower. My second son i did have one. My daughter i didn't have one at all. So this will be only my second baby shower, but my fourth baby. So that is why i am so excited. It will only be small and a couple people, but it is nice to feel cared about.
 
Thats nice Brai - i threw a small baby shower for my Best friend when she had her second - i think each baby should be celebrated. It might not be the big shindig the first one is - but all babies are equally as exciting and loved!
 
Thanks Membas! I am definitely feeling wacko these days. Just trying to take one day at a time!
 
If i had to guess, i would say babies head is much lower now. I am having a lot more pain and pressure when i walk. Its that whole bowling ball between the legs feeling. Can't walk correctly anymore. When do they start checking your cervix and do the strep b test at the doctor? I have my 33 weeks appt on tuesday. Just wondering if it will be the same old same old or if they will do something new?
also i think my husband has a pregnant fetish. He is normally very ummm i guess the best word is horny. Haha he is just like every other 27 year old male. But the bigger i get the more he wants it! Not a problem really, but i prefer sleep most of the time! It was never a problem the last 3 pregnancies cause i always wanted it a lot towards the end. But this time i am not as interested.
 
Brai - my 34 week appt was the same as the rest... but im sure each dr/mw does things differently.

LOL brai- i dont think my hubby has a fetish but he definitely is not put off by the pregnant belly and swollen ankles.

my OB does her first cervical check and the strep b swab at 35 weeks. i have heard of some doing it earlier and some later though. im antsy to get checked again cuz at the hospital tues they checked and said i was 1 cm dilated, 20% effaced, and very soft. would like to see this wed if he weighs more and if i have progressed. not that i have to since im being induced, but every little bit helps things go smoother when they start. do you know when you will set a date?
 
No idea yet. I haven't seen my normal doctor for a couple weeks, it is always a different doctor. I see my normal one on tuesday. I don't think they will set anything in stone for a couple weeks at least. But with my blood pressure already borderline, i don't think they will let me go past 37 weeks. Like my doctor said there is no benefit to waiting after 37 weeks especially with mt blood pressure and history.
