Bumpy that's amazing news!!! I saw those double lines on the RMC thread and they are gorgeous for being so early! Can't wait for more tests and for you to join us. What a perfect birthday present! YAY!!!
Davies, I did the same thing. I was having a lot of cramping and took one. Ha Ha. Glad I'm in good company. My husband encouraged me to. He said it was peace of mind, which it was. I was reading a lot of websites that said quitting cold turkey can be bad. So I'm going to do one every other day for a few days.
Fili your fun in the snow sounds fantastic! I haven't seen snow in years. I want to play in some snow!! We're having summer like temps here. Very warm and sunny. I really can't complain but I want a winter day where I can snuggle up at home.
I'm so glad my MIL doesn't live near us. I think she would drive me crazy too. Sorry for all the girls who are dealing with the dreaded MIL. Mine is very nice, just very opinionated. She keeps telling my husband what I should be eating.
Lou, I think you should do a home birth! My mom did with my brother and it was amazing. I was witness to it. It's so much more relaxing as long as you and baby are healthy going into it. How close are you to your hospital in case you need to go there last minute? That would be the deciding factor for me. I'm considered high risk because of my adenomyosis and I'm about 20-30 minutes away from my hospital without traffic. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing a home birth even though I always dreamed of one.
I'm going to a Super Bowl party today. It's the final game of the season for American Football. I don't even like American football, but it's a huge event and everyone has parties. At least there will be lots of food I can eat. Unhealthy food at that! Yum.
it's perfectly safe and im glad you got a happy hubby!
