Ooh Smawfl, love the bump! You look great! So round, and you've kept your figure very well.

Yeah, I get that feeling when I've been up and walking for a while! Feels like he will fall out. Very weird. Not as much when I'm sitting down though, so I don't know if he's engaged all the way. But it definitely feels like he's dropped.

Excellent bumps ladies. Seaweed - your bump looks really low! Smawfl - nice round bump. I'll take a pic later on, I'm stranded on the sofa at the moment.
My main eviction plans are bouncing on my ball, going for walks, doing lots of cleaning!! Also started drinking raspberry leaf tea this week. Broached subject of bding with dh just now and he didn't seem as enthusiastic as I'd thought he'd be. Think he's a bit scared of that whole area now!!

Gorgeous bumps! I'll post soon, I can't from my phone...
I think I'll start raspberry leaf tea again soon, not sure it induces but definitely strengthens uterine muscle to prepare! I think the induction methods only go so far, you have to have oxytocin circulating in your bloodstream already...but if you do I'm sure some things can 'encourage' you to produce more! Can't wait to be that close
Not sure if you ladies remember the whole job drama - but I got it today! It's full time and starts Tuesday
It'll be a LOT of work for the time I am there but I'll likely go on leave by the end of Sept and then get salary top up until January! Then just standard EI after that until next fall.
I'm SO happy, it's the difference of thousands of $$$$! Yay!

Congratulations Gaiagirl!! Brilliant news.
And congratulations smawfl - happy full term! I was awake at 5 as well. Mainly because I was hungry I think. And excited that it's September.
I know all these techniques are useless unless baby is ready. And i'm usually more logical about these things. But I think once you get to this stage rational thought takes a bit of a back seat!

YAY!!!! 
Congratulations FeelSoBlessed!!! Your name certainly suits your situation at the moment 
So happy for you and feel a bit tearful! Can I be a proud auntie too? 
Hope the birth went well and looking forward to hearing all about it once you feel up to it and can focus on anything other than your new little man

congrats fsb!!! glad your baby boy was delivered healthy.
and I can't believe how far along everyone is in this thread, wow!! can't wait to see what the gender ratio turns out to be either, seems like everyone is having boys
as for me, I'm still not pregnant (got AF today actually), if I were you guys would be some of the first to hear about it. DH is going to see a urologist for a possible kidney stone or UTI on Tuesday, so I'm hoping he can request a semen analysis while he's there. Hopefully that will give us some answers. I have a feeling it will come back as less than ideal, mostly because 1. we aren't pregnant yet 2. he is a professional driver and I read that sitting down driving all day can cause temporary problems with the sperm because of overheating. He had a SA about 5 or 6 years ago due to some kind of infection and it came back normal for the most part, so if it was normal then, I just have a feeling they sperm are being damaged from the overheating and that's why I'm not pregnant yet. Of course there could be a problem with me too, but if there is it's nothing obvious. I ovulate perfectly every month, my cycles are extremely regular, my LP is 13 days (sometimes 14), we BD either on or right before O etc. Anyway, I think we will just wait for SA results and then go from there

OMG congrats! I am soooooo excited reading this! I just told my DH and couldn't contain my excitement! Yay!
Awwww can't wait to see a pic. Enjoy these days
Anneliese - I'd definitely want to start looking into options for testing, SA is the easiest to check out for sure! Good luck! Keep us posted, I can't wait for you to get your BFP
