Hello girls!!! So sorry for the long lapse, work has been crazy busy and then we went out of town this weekend. That guy that went out on disability for his foot surgery a couple months ago, came back for two weeks and then went out on disability again! He's a diabetic that takes really poor care of himself and I suspect they may have to amputate his foot. I feel bad for him, but he's such a jerk, it's hard to feel too bad. Anyway, I'm taking over his duties again and I feel like I never have time at work to get on here anymore!
I went to San Diego see my two best friends (one from childhood and one from college) that had their baby girls in Dec/Jan. It was great catching up and Quinn got to play with their babies and one of them has a 2 year old son too. It was really great.
My baby girl is growing every day, she's over 2 lbs now and already has hair I guess! I only have a marginal previa now but they've still advised me to be on pelvic rest. Well...
we have been except for once. My poor husband says his penis is going to shrivel up and fall off! LOL! But it was really uncomfortable and I don't think we'll be trying again until after the babe comes!
House hunting still sucks as bad as it ever did. We put more offers in, lost more houses and so and and so on. My mom is letting us continue to stay at this house for as long as we need, she's not interested in selling it yet anyway. I'd much rather move and get a nursery started soon but we'll take whatever we can get. I'm grateful for having a nice home in the meantime.
Oh and we've been discussing names even more...the big contender right now is Daisy...Is that too much like a dog's name?? Cause I kind of love it! So, there's Daisy Marie, Holly Marie, Avery Marie and Amelia Marie. Anybody like any of those more than others?
OK, enough about me...
Steph honey, it's great that your numbers are still rising, like the others have said, sometimes numbers don't quite double but things are still going fine. It's super positive that you haven't had any spotting and cramping. Hang in there, do not give up!!! When is your appt this week? And screw your boss, she sounds like she's difficult. Ugh! Hope everything else is great with you!
Tanya that's crazy Emma's still not here yet (but I would've killed you if she came and you didn't text me! LOL) Try to keep walking...OH and I just heard that one of the best methods for getting the hips open and ready for labor is squats. Def do about 30 squats a day, I don't think you'll regret it! Hope this heat isn't too unbearable for you! And don't worry too much about a c-sec, I'm sure you can do it on your own and in the worst case scenario, if you can't, I PROMISE you it's not that bad. I was pleasantly surprised!
Jenn, your new pic of Cameron is so freakin' cute, I just want to kiss all over his cheeks! I hope all is going well with getting adjusted to him. Glad your mom came to visit but wish she could've stayed longer.
And I agree, you have to have more babies...even if it's a football team!
Amanda, a little girl! Yay! So exciting!!! That's why you were so sick the first tri. What names are you thinking? That's great that you've already bought her so much, you're sure to be super ready once she comes! What a lucky little girl to have a mommy who wants her and loves her so much!
Hugs!
And Mandy, you too! We're all having girls woohoo!!! I love the name Alyson, that's very pretty. Matty and Aly!
Hope you're feeling better and better and that the sickness and headaches are staying away. I know how you feel about not having another shower...I think we'll just do a really small family one but not go all out like last time. Hope you're doing well!
Beth it sounds like you might be right around the corner from O'ing! I pray pray pray that you do and can catch that sticky bean this month. I remember using one of those FS tests Steph was talking about and it helped to bring up my morale. It was more about not timing things right than not having a good egg reserve. So hope this is the case for you! We're all rooting for you dear!
Andi, so sorry to hear about the cyst that just blows. I heard that cysts are usually caused by an egg trying to get released that never happens for some reason and then it just grows and grows. I had a cyst on my left ovary at the beginning of this pregnancy for awhile that I never felt...until they told me about it and then I felt the pain! Can't wait for an update on the girls so hope you get them! I mean, it's pretty for sure, right, it's just a matter of when? And your neighbor sounds like a troll...hope she doesn't cause you any more drama and stress!
Love you all and miss you very much! Hope I can get on more regularly soon!
explains some of the neck pain I had for awhile.. Anyhoo...I hope your appointment goes good with the FS 
I'll eat some more pineapple for dessert, and go for another 2 mile walk tonight. Yeah, I'm probably just being impatient, should just let Emma come when she's ready.... but jeeeeeesh....
But they're all really pretty and I know you can't wait for your little girl to get here.
FX'd for you
Congrats!
