sonia- great numbers!!
Julie- glad all is good!
Waves- when is gender scan? What are you thinking the baby is?
emily- how you doing girl?
AFM, we met our new OBGYN yesterday, we like her and the facility! Excited! We got to see Alia, she was playing with her feet and bring them up to her head... it was cute! DH and I are out of work while the govt is shut down. DH is working on finishing the basement and I have just been hanging out. MIL took me shopping yesterday (and spent $300) for maternity clothing...was so nice! All I hope is both DH and I get paid back after this furlough.

Ok, DW would like to post...she's jealous of my awesome baby board friends lol So, here is a message from her (Ryann):
"Hello all! I have to say, I've heard SOOOO much about you girls. It's like my wife is part of this elite preggo group/secret society. First off, I need to give all of you ladies credit for everything you've been through. Whether it's TTC for months and months, miscarriages, or experiencing a loss of any kind...you are all amazing women. Secondly, I'd like to thank you all for giving my wife a place to go where she feels safe and comfortable to share her thoughts and ask questions without feeling judged. There were so many times when we were TTC and she would have concerns or questions, and my first response was usually "well have you asked your baby board girls?". My wife and I have a very strong relationship and are very close, but sometimes, I just don't have the "right thing to say" and I'm so glad she has you girls because you all seem to know just what to say to each other when times are hard or stressful. As for me, I just wanted to formally introduce myself and let you know you all are so wonderful. Keep up the good work!!"

I almost just said good morning without realizing it is 2:00 already! Sheesh! At least the day is going by fast!
Everything is OK here. Not much to note... except that I made the horrifying discovery that DESSERT CAUSES ME AWFUL HEARTBURN/REFLUX! Why did it have to be dessert??? I have to make a life decision here... dessert, or no heartburn??? Pregnancy is the only time I allow myself to indulge in dessert a few nights a week... I think I know which way I'm going to go with this...
Dessert wins, especially this time of year!

Nikki - How are the sugars???
Morgan, Kara, Julie: How is the morning sickness??? Mine STARTED at 8 weeks and lasted until about 14. I'm a late bloomer.
Sonia - My boobs started killing me between 7-8 weeks. They were a little sore before that, but come 7 1/2 weeks, boom! Fire boobs! About once every 4 weeks I get about of sore boos again... They have grown almost 2 cup sizes. I am afraid of what they will become once the milk comes in!
Rachel - You house seems like a fall wonderland! I am tired of the un-fall-like weather we are having here... I am ready for cool weather and pumpkin lattes!
Amanda (Waves) - Sorry about the Indians, but they did great this year!

So have any of you looked into Red Raspberry Leaf Tea or Evening Primrose Oil?
At 33 weeks I started drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea. It is supposed to tone your uterine muscles to make contractions more effective and the pushing stage shorter. And after you have baby it is supposed to help with cramping and help to get your uterus back down to size. *It won't start labor though. It is just supposed to make the contractions more efficient.
Then at 36 weeks (tomorrow), I am starting a dose of Evening Primrose Oil. It is supposed to help you cervix become favorable. Once again, it won't start labor, but once things get going it is supposed to help you thin out and efface quickly. I didn't do any of this stuff the first time, so let's see if it helps!
Oh... and I told DH we have to start DTD at least three times a week. I told him I need his prostaglandins to get the motor revved up for baby eviction! He doesn't seem to be opposed.

October 15th so just 12 days away!!!! I have no idea. I'm expecting it to be a girl just because I have 2 girls and want a boy lol. It feels like a boy but looked like a girl at the 12 week scan so who knows!
Hahah I'm the same with "OH".
Aww thanks. It was a great season with a depressing ending lol. Oh well, just means next year should be great as well. Took Tito 2 years to take the Red Sox to a championship and in just 1 year he did a total turnaround with our team so I'm excited for 2014
I used both during the end of my last pregnancy. I inserted the EPO pills before bed. Started RRL tea at like 32 weeks and the EPO around 36 weeks. I think it definitely helped but it also wasn't my first labor/delivery so I don't know if my body knowing what to do helped or if the EPO/RRL did too. I'll probably use them again this time. And I'm pretty sure DTD helped bring on labor both times for me. With my first, I went into labor within 10 minutes of finishing DTD so... you know... tell him it works lol.
Julie, that was so sweet of DW
Congrats to you ladies!
