How are you feeling curious? Are you having contractions at all?
AFM I spent the day at the hospital with contractions. My water hasn't broken yet and cervix is still closed. They gave me some meds to help contractions stop but...ow! This little baby is trying to escape! So I'm home now and I'm monitoring these crazy pre term contractions so I'll know when or if I need to go back., any good netflix recommendations?? Back to the couch I go! Boring!

Oh no! Tell that baby to stay put!
Have you watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt yet? It's really fun.

He's good, thanks. I don't know if I mentioned that we're using a nipple shield, but he managed a whole feeding today without it. It was pretty exciting. I can't believe he's almost a month old!
JCM - sorry about the contractions! My friend had her baby 9 weeks premature and the baby is doing great!
Yay for a whole feed without the nipple shield!
Sorry I have been pretty quiet. It's getting harder to do anything on the computer when Josie is awake and when she is asleep, I want to go to bed! It's hard working full time with a baby! But I do enjoy my work and I can't really afford not to work full time. Josie is doing great! She has 2 teeth, only wants to stand and LOVES her solids! She is up, so thats the end of this post.
how is everyone else?

I can't believe it's been a month! Wow! I bet he's so much fun. For now I'm just counting contractions and if I get two hours of 6 in each hour I go back to the hospital. I'm taking it easy but I wasn't even doing much to begin with! Ugh.
2 teeth! Oh my!
2 teeth! Oh my!

I can't believe Josie is standing and toothy! How old is she now? These babies grow so fast!
JCM, he's definitely more alert now, but he's still on the eat, sleep on mama, eat more, sleep on mama more, eat again cycle. He's a pretty good baby, but he'll probably be more fun when he's a little more independent and interested in toys and such and I can put him down for half an hour. I'm not saying I dislike it, but I don't think newborn is going to be my absolute favorite phase. There are definite advantages to spending the day under a sleeping baby, though. It's way more rewarding than doing laundry
I can't believe he's a whole month old, too. He's outgrowing all his newborn clothes
It's very bittersweet. He's such a stringbean, I can't wait to get his measurements on Tuesday. DH and I are both short and fat, if Teddy didn't look so much like him, I'd swear they switched our baby with someone else's!

Sorry to hear JCM! I hope she keeps on cooking for a while longer!
Nothing much going on here. I have an appointment Wednesday (36w) and I think they'll check me then but I expect to be not at all dilated. No contractions, I'm not sure I've even had any Braxton Hicks ones. I'm pretty positive this is going to be a May baby! Which is good, considering her nursery is not at all done and we have house guests the next 3 weekends in a row. Ugh! At least we finally have most all of the baby stuff, just need a swing now.
I'm achy and tired and huge but not too bad considering where I'm at. I'm even still going to the gym, though I think this will likely be my last week. Zumba actually makes my hips feels better lol, but the pelvic pain sucks!
Can't believe how big these babies are getting!

JCM - hope that little one stays put. My co-worker had contractions for a month before her c-section. She was a high risk pregnancy so she constantly had to go to the hospital to be checked. She hated it, but her little one stayed put. Hope the same holds true for you!
I can't believe how big all the babies are getting!
Mrs. K - I have to admit I like that Abigail is getting more interested in toys and playing. They are adorable when they are newborn but she was kind of boring. Although, I wouldn't currently mind going back to the sweet non mouthy phase.
M - I can't believe Josie is getting so old. How did her teething go for her two teeth? What are her favorite toys?
Abigail is (I hope) teething again. The past three days have been pretty rough. She is a serious cranky pants. I did at least get a fantastic picture out of her tantrum the other day to use against her when she's a teenager. When she gets angry she throws herself backwards over your arm or leg and throws a full on baby tantrum. It gets old fast. She isn't sleeping well during the day and her naps are almost nonexistent. I'm hoping this is teething for her top teeth and not a general phase. Other than the past few days she is a lot of fun. She is usually really happy and giggly. The daycare ladies say she is happy to play on her own, with other kids or to go to whoever is around. She "talks" all the time. And has started "singing" with the radio when we are in the car in the mornings and afternoons. It's pretty funny. She will be 6 months on the 26th and we go for her 6 month appt on the 28th. She still refuses to roll from her front to her back but can turn in circles on her belly and then scootch along using her legs to get to her toys. DH and I have pretty much given up on her ever rolling over. Ever since she figured out how to move and aim for toys she doesn't even try to roll over.
We seem to be headed into more births coming up. Can't wait.

I love it when babies are a little older an active so you can really see their personalities. Abigail sounds like so much fun. Good call on getting that picture to show her when she's older. Ha!
I'm to the point where I'm over being pregnant. I mean really over it. I get every crappy symptom and I'm done! These silly contractions are driving me insane. And the nausea and the hemroids. Get me off this ride!
My appt yesterday was good. The baby is BIG! The app says she should be 4 pounds this week...ugh try 5 pounds 4 ounces as of yesterday. No wonder she wants out. Lol it looked tight in there! My amniotic fluid is good and the baby has tons of hair. So yay!!! I'm on rest mode for 2 weeks. Then my dr gives me permission to get up whenever I want and do what I want. If the baby wants to come out then, she won't try and stop her. She warned me that sometimes after being put on bed rest she has to induce at 39 weeks. I'm like really? After all the contractions this kid better want to come out when she's allowed! So I just have to be bored 2 more weeks. Then I'm walking, bending, taking hot showers and baths and having sex. I don't care how big I am, he WILL have sex with me and like it! Lol! I am determined to end this pregnancy soon. It's been quite a ride.

You've really had it rough! Hopefully the next two weeks go by quickly. I wonder why he'd induce at 39 weeks so often, if there isn't a growth problem or something.

I spent half my pregnancy on the couch by choice, and I still wouldn't want to be on bedrest! I'm glad there's an end in sight.
I'd think an induced labor would be worse than a big baby labor. On the other hand, Teddy is over 9lbs now, and the idea of birthing a baby his size is kind of terrifying

Good luck JCM! Can't wait for the little one to come! They started my labor by induction. While I don't know any better, it didn't feel any worse than what other people describe regular labor to be like. 
. I'm sure the little one will come on her own though. She seems like she is giving you fair warning that she is on her way! And we all know that the babies are totally worth the pregnancy. Although, I will say anyone who tells me that pregnancy was wonderful and they love being pregnant may get looked at funny from now on. Mine wasn't even that bad and I still was not a happy camper and was so done with being pregnant like a month before I had Abigail. Keep up your spirits!

Life is just so busy and Josie is requiring more and more attention! When Josie got her first 2 teeth, she had a fever and was super fussy for a couple of days...then she started to do better and a few days later she cut the first 2 teeth. She had a fever this week, has been super fussy and not sleeping well at all! I am hoping this is all related to more teeth! Ugh! We need a good night's sleep!
PD - you asked about Josie's favorite toys. She has a Noah's Ark shape sorter that she absolutely loves and the VTECH crawl and play ball is a big it. Just got her a stacking toy and she seems to like that a lot. Anything that makes noise/crinkles! All she wants to do is stand! Crazy!
JCM - sorry you are on bedrest! I was told the weight estimates are less accurate as pregnancy progresses.

Hi girls!
Yesterday was awful...I felt like I was getting the worst period of my life. Cramps everywhere and so intense! Pressure all in my back and legs. I really thought "ok this is it" nope! It let up and then came back all night. Today I feel better. Just nausea and dizziness. I really hope this isn't what the next few weeks will be like. I'm ready to be done. I'm exhausted and huge and hanging up baby clothes literally has me breathing hard. The dr on call said if it escalates into labor they won't stop it which is fine with me. I just don't know what I'm waiting for. I'm so crampy and achy all over my stomach. Especially way down low. I swear I little hand is going to slip out of my vagina while I'm walking to the bathroom. End of my rant.
How are you feeling owl? I think my dr is checking my cervix on Tuesday along with group b strep test. You are being checked every week now right?
