Ok I finally caught up and can actually post. It's almost funny how slow I am doing everything these days...
Alea, I'm so happy for you and Lottie. Welcome home little one!
Moo, I'm glad you made it back in. We would have really missed you!
Hope wow you're my new hero. I really feel like I should just stop complaining about everything now lol But, as the other ladies have said, you look amazing! So picturesque, although I'm sure it is uncomfortable.
omg ginge! Yikes, I'm glad you were able to keep a cool head and take care of things before the fire spread. How scary!
I like the idea of a secret fb group! I feel so close to you all but I have to hold back a lot of personal information because this is a public forum and I like to stay anonymous in public. I would love a private space where I could share more openly with all of you
Thanks for setting it up Ginge, and thanks for the idea Sweety!
I see this was already brought up by a couple ladies, but I just want to make a Public Service Announcement: movement should
never decrease. Never. The quality and type of movement will change but the number of movements should remain the same. If anyone ever even suspects that the number of movements has decreased please go in immediately to labor and delivery for a nonstress test. I don't want to go into all the details right now and scare everyone needlessly, I just want to say I learned this the hard way from experience and don't want anyone else to have to ever go through what I did.
There are lots of perfectly reasonable explanations why movement might feel like they decreased (like position of the baby for one) but it is really better not to take any chances and just go get the NST, even if it's like 4 o'clock in the morning. Let me tell you, they will be happy to see you and give you reassurance because most of the time when a woman is presenting with reduced movement it is bad news. When they say they would rather you come in for a million false alarms then have it be one time that could have been prevented and wasn't, they really mean it. I know it's my mostly my own anxiety, but please everyone promise me you'll go in immediately if you notice movements are decreasing. I couldn't stand it if anything bad happened to any of you
I can provide more info on the "too many movements" thing too, but really I wouldn't worry about that too much. That one was really hard for me to wrap my head around originally so I asked about it a lot and I have the low down on it now, it's just too morbid for me to post so if someone is really interested feel free to pm me. But, the bottom line is, don't worry about too much movement unless it's like 100 times in a minute. (end PSA)
Just to let you all know, I might be a bit of a basket case this week and the next couple, but I'll try not to let that creep too much into my posts. In exactly one week from today I'll be 35 weeks +5, which is when I had my loss last year. I'm trying very hard to maintain my equilibrium and mental wellbeing, keep my hopes up, and not be too scared. Being on this thread helps a lot, because everyone is so cheerful! It always makes me feel really good to catch up with how everyone is doing. So I definitely don't want to be a downer. I just want everyone to stay safe and keep being your wonderful selves. But I thought I should say something in advance, just in case I have a meltdown
edit - no need for everyone to post "I'm so sorry that happened to you" because honestly I'm trying not to think about it, and most of you have already expressed condolences. I just figured, I should say something in case I make a fool of myself this week, which might happen
if everyones ok with that?? Ill make it a secret group or a closed one 
let me try again
