Pam - looks like you had fun at your shower. Just a warning for everyone though....the head thing that goes in the car seat actually isn't good to use. It decreases the safety of the car seat. Most car seats have one built in that has been tested with the car seat for safety and reliability.

Mary - we had a mini pool party yesterday and on Wednesday we are going to a baseball game.

Laura - glad chip is ok. Be careful!!

AFM: not feeling too well. I think I caught my nephews cold on Friday and symptoms are starting to appear. Hopefully I kick this quickly....too much to do this week.

 

[Michellebelle]

That's great news, Laura! Happy that Chip is doing well!

Jess, sorry you're not feeling well. Hopefully your cold goes away soon.

I know I shouldn't be temping... But I had a HUGE drop today, below my coverline so I'm a little worried. I'm getting bloodwork again this morning, so hopefully I'll have some answers.

Michelle, I hope ur temps are just being wonky from pregnancy and that your bloods are more than doubled today! I will be praying for you today...All day! Your temp always seems to drop on beta day! Maybe its trying to scare you out of temping.. I have everything crossed for you today!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Did you all have constipation issues in early pregnancy? I have been a bit constipated and it causes my lower back to hurt SO bad every am when I wake up :-\. Anyone know of any good tricks to cure this?!

 

[Michellebelle]

Thanks Mary! I hope it is just a fluke and is hormones. Looking forward to getting results back today so at least I know one way or another.

 

[Michellebelle]

Mary, I've been trying to eat fruits here and there taking Metamucil every few days.

 

[aidensmommy1]

Thank u Michelle. The lower back pain is just horrible from it! The stem meds COMPLETELY regulated me and about a wk ago, the constipation issues begun again. And morning sickness started over the weekend. I didn't get this sick with Aiden. Hopefully it only lasts for a few wks like the minor sickness I felt with Aiden did! lol. We'll see!

Well I failed the first GD test and have to do the 3 hour

And my iron is low. She suggested more iron foods but not low enough for iron supplements yet.

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Jess, thanks for the tip on the head rest. I'm planning on doing some research first. I've never seen one before and didn't even know it was available.
I hope you feel better soon! My cold is still lingering and I also have so much to do.

Michelle, maybe the stress of upcoming nrs has caused you a bad night's sleep? Maybe that is why your temp is low or just hormones. I have faith that all will be well with your nrs later.

Mary, I have been on iron tables since I found out I was pregnant and they added to pregnancy constipation. I've had a few days on the loo crying and found Lactulose syrup to be awesome!

Laura, I'm so happy Chip is okay

Dani, sorry about your test. Do you have to do the 3hr now or go back another day? I don't know how those tests work

AFM: Blackberry is working again so I'll be able to keep up better now with you ladies on my phone and laptop.

All the baby blankets, burp cloths, newborn and 0-3 months clothes have been washed. Waiting for them to dry and then I'll be able to pack and restore order in the nursery.

For now it is raining and I'm thinking that a nap is in order - urgh so hard to be on ML

Aww Dani, I am sorry to hear that. FX that it causes no issues!

Laura, glad Chip is ok, make sure you rest up!

Michelle, FX your numbers are great!

Mary, lots of constipation at first and since the third tri hit. Ugh!

Jess, sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, hope you feel better soon!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Great bump Kenna! it!!

 

[laurac1988]

Sorry about the GD test dani! FX all is ok xx

DH got some stuff to complete our list and make the nursery look more like a nursery and two more onesies (newborn & 0-3). The bear is musical as well.

Jess - sorry for not feeling well again. Hope it won't develop.

Dani - aww, sorry to hear about your GD and iron level. FX everything goes fine.

Michelle - praying your temp is just wonky and drop means nothing. Hopefully you get the result asap.

Laura - so happy to hear chip is doing well in his/her apartment.

Pam - glad everything is back to normal. boo with the rain though. Please send some rain here...

Kenna - yay for another bump pic. looking neat....

Ermahgerrrrrd... Always SO much to catch up on when I take the weekend off frm BnB I'll try my best!

Jess - Yes, seriously the poo thing... ugh I have quite the opposite of a lack thereof. This weekend, especially last night, was bad. I keep telling OH that I've never ever had such a problem with going TOO much while pregnant and wondering when - and IF - the constipation issue will ever set in I use The Bump app as well as Babycenter app for bumpies. OH and I have been talking about and are on the same page with wanting to hold Cameron a lot BUT also needing to make sure he gets "independent" time as well so he isn't always fussing to be held and also allowing him to nap in his bassinet/crib and NOT in someone's arms. Ooh I never thought about having someone at the hospital handling photos for us... I'm going to check into that! It's definitely a relief that we have a few options for sitters. To be clear, OH's mom doesn't have the drug issue... it's her kids that smoke marijuana in her house and that doesn't sit well with me (if anyone was getting the wrong idea about that). I did tell my boss that I plan to work all the way up until I go into labor. I won't stick around work long at all if contractions start and definitely if my water breaks! Cameron could come at a fast pace and I want to be sure I have enough time for an epi if I feel I need it! Wow the map really shows how spread out we are! So neat! BOO on the cold... hope it goes away quickly.

Thanks Daphne. We were very bust over the weekend so I don't think OH really did anything concerning applications for a different job I'm sure he will take the time soon to tackle that... I hope, anyways... That's SO scary regarding ISIS! Hoping that mess stays far enough away from you guys. Do you and DH live there for employment reasons? I think you should move over here closer to us! That's interesting about 39 weeks being full-term. Both of my kiddos came at least a week to a week and a half early... so I'm assuming Cameron may follow suit. Yay for ML!

Finding and adding you on Facebook Laura! Hard to believe you've hit the 10 week mark! Time is going by so fast! Glad you and Baby Chip are OK after the fall... be careful!

Mary I totally hear ya on the sore boobies! And yes, especially after birth. Yowzas! My milk didn't come in until a day or two after giving birth and WOW. I'm hoping Cameron is hungry and we get the hang of nursing because I'm going to need his help. I joke with OH that I'll have the baby on one side and him on the other Wish I could be more help with the poo issues but I seem to have the opposite problem

Love the shower photos Pam! Wow, you got A LOT of nice things! Enjoy your ML. Sounds like you got more work to do at home... but it's well worth it! Gosh your bump is so perfect and round! And gorgeous! You and Daphne are getting SO many nice items from friends, family and coworkers!

Kirsty I don't know how you do it?! All the walking as well as caring for an infant while being pregnant. I do good enough to handle myself right now and it helps tremendously that my kids are older. I can't believe your almost halfway!!!

Happy halfway mark Fi!

Good job refraining from slipups Jamie Happy belated birthday! Excited for when you tell everyone the news!


Cheryl I totally agree... nesting sucks! Impressive you have such detailed ideas for the nursery. Sounds awesome, can't wait to see photos as it's coming along! Happy V-Day!!!

Michelle you better burn that thermometer woman!!!

Don't worry Dani, I've seen a lot of woman on the Facebook groups failing... I keep blaming myself for posting all of my yummy food and treats FX for your 3 hour test!

Lovely, adorable bump Kenna! Your are defo all belly! Not much longer now...

AFM - We did go to the show on Saturday. OH's dad went and basically funded the trip for us which was very generous of him. I was sure to thank him for going and for his help. It was a beautiful day, sunny and hot. Had a good time and even got to tour the haunted prison which was pretty interesting! Got my pregnancy belly piercing bar in the mail. It's super long but I managed to cut it down some. We went grocery shopping later than evening after we got back (which totally screwed up my funds even more but was required). Sunday we got a bit done at home, which helped me not feel so stressed. I got the stairway trim painted, as well as the hallways and daughter's bedroom trim. OH worked on rewiring the electrical downstairs. I got all the dishes done, bathed the dogs, fixed dinner and did some laundry. I also made OH some chocolate chip cookie brownies he wanted. Wasn't going to deny him

Part of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" was filmed here. They had some movie props on display.

My kids as we toured inside the prison:

Not sure how many of you are familiar with the rapper "Lil Wayne" but in 2004 he used one of the cells at the prison to shoot part of his music video. Kind of neat to see.

We were a bit creeped out, especially by the odd rope tied the the bent bar to my right side in this photo...

Love your pics Jyllian! Seems like you've had tons of fun

Thanks for the belly compliments! I'm enjoying the attention haha

I don't think that the company I use to work for understood my resignation letter as they phoned me about an hour ago. WTF I didn't answer but would appreciate if they left me alone!!!

 

[MamaBunny2]

Wow Pam. I would totally pick up if they call you again and pretend to be an answering machine... "I'm sorry. You have reached Pamela who is no longer employed with your company and now on her maternity leave. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your workload, please contact someone who is currently employed with your company. Thank you. BEEEEEEEP."
