Sorry Heather. I'm trying not to post a lot.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Huge congrats to Liz! What a beautiful baby girl!

So sorry to hear about your MIL TL. It's too bad to have sadness around the time your LO is due to arrive. But the arrival of your little bundle is such an amazing time I'm sure it will bring joy to you and everyone around you, even if she arrives in the midst of other sorrows.

Thank you. It's such a hard time. I keep thinking, how could this be happening, during whats supposed to be the best and most amazing time in our lives?? I'm just so scared that the baby will come the same day or the same week my mom in law passes. Please hope for us that that doesn't happen...

Elliot, tell me more about Julia.

 

[tl682]

Where is everybody??

 

[tl682]

So, I had another dr appt yesterday. She said my cervix is now soft... Probably becoming effaced??

 

[sherylb]

That's exciting! Maybe your little one will be here soon!

I stopped checking here so often bc it seemed like we were the only ones posting

Home from doctor. I was having a contraction when I laid down to hear her heartbeat so he showed me how to tell.

 

[tl682]

How can you tell??

 

[tl682]

If breastfeeding doesn't work, and I have to use formula, do people get organic or regular??

 

[sherylb]

Your whole tummy gets really tight. It feels like when her head is at the side and it gets hard except the whole uterus is tight. Very interesting.

Hi ladies,

How are our new babies doing? I love to hear about them or see pics.

Sheryl, how are you doing not long to go.

I suppose my nesting has been forced to kick in. We are cleaning up every room in the house so that we can shampoo the carpets this weekend. My cat has been using the carpet for no good reason and we have to get the smell out. I got DH to clean the shower, sink and toilet in my bathroom and worked on under the sink cabinets while he plays a scheduled in his game. Of course I found out my sink has been slightly leaking so I am waiting for his event to be over so he can fix it. But I also found 7 pairs of contacts I didn't know I had. Luckily my doctors office will let me return them for a refund. I think next time I will get 3 pairs or no contacts because I obviously wasn't wearing them very faithfully. Probably would be better to get none. I messaged my eye doctor to see if he would be ok with me coming in because I am overdue for a new rx but was trying to put it off because I know pregnancy hormones change vision sometimes.

Next week we add childbirth classes to our newly hectic schedule on Wednesday nights for 4 weeks. DH got a new job. I don't think I posted about it here but he starts the 26th. My shower and his diaper poker party are the 25th. He will be working 12-hour shifts 4 on 4 off once he gets fully trained and assigned an area and shift.

How are you? You aren't near the fires right?

Ready, how are you doing?

 

[sherylb]

Ok, it's been 2 days. Someone update? Ready??

 

[tl682]

Liz, she's gorgeous. How is being a mom??

 

[tl682]

I'm getting all scared about giving birth. I'm so close!! It's just now so real...

 

[ready4onemore]

Hey ladies,

Liz, I just want to kiss her she is so pretty!!!

Sheryl, yes your nesting has kicked in. LOL Your cat may sense that time is near and is displaying jealousy. Especially if he/she has not ever done that. Each time I was preggers my dog got extra clingy to me. Congrats to your hubby on his new job. I like the idea of diaper poker.

tl, you will be fine. Don't worry.

Have a wonderful and blessed day ladies.
