Morning ladies-- I am doing well. Only 10 days left! I have been feeling pretty good and just doing what my body asks of me. I am getting a lot rest and doing a lot of stretching and eating lots of small snacks. I have been waking up in the middle of the night just STARVING so I have been trying to figure out what to eat then. So far everything I've chosen has made me constipated later that morning. Booo! I feel like the baby is definitely lower but I don't know how low. Sometimes I feel her head move really low and feel it turning and it pinches all of these little nerves. It's crazy. Her favorite position still is butt up with her heels kicking out on my right side. It makes for great baby-feeling for my friends and family. Baby's room is all ready and clothes are all washed. My bags are packed and the carseat is in.. am just doing a lot of meditating on her coming so maybe I can will her due date to get here soon! x alice
Yes, Jen, I am right there with you. I am definitely ready not to be pg anymore, although I know that it'll be a couple of more weeks at least before I can really start expecting him to come. I am really excited about our u/s on Friday to see how much more baking he needs!
Alice, I'm glad you're hanging in there! Any day now!
I am very happy to report that I got a phone call right before lunch about maternity leave, and they are reconsidering and we will almost certainly get 8 weeks paid. I feel so much better! That's what I have been planning on, then working part time for 4 weeks. I was so stressed out about this all week last week and just angry in general that I felt bad about being pg. But now it's over
Alice, congrats on being so close! I hope that she comes soon!
Megan, you are so lucky to get 8 weeks maternity leave! Thats going to be some great baby bonding time!
Amy, Nesting is so fun! I hope that you can get everything organized! It sounds like you know exactly what you need to do before the baby comes!
Andrea, I bet its a girl! We decided on a girl's name right away and still haven't agreed on a boy's name (just in case we have a big surprise). It sounds like your body is giving you hints! I like the name Asa a lot! I'm all for the unique!
Sarah, Congrats on your husband getting accepted! Are you guys planning on moving far away or staying in the general area? I love the DC area, but hate the loops!
Camp is not living the hard life by any means! We have 2 bathrooms, satellite tv, and a massive kitchen! It sleeps about 40 people, but all the beds are in big rooms, so there isn't a lot of privacy. Us and our friends were the only ones up this weekend, so we had the camp to ourselves. Last time we were up there ourselves we got preggers! Its really funny. My DH's due date was the same as mine and my MIL got pregnant up at camp too! Its kind of icky to think that my in-laws were DTN on the exact same day and in the same place as us, but 27 years earlier!
Has anyone else had squirty nipples (sorry for the TMI) for a while now? Sometimes I'll squeeze them and they'll shoot out a few inches! Some days I'll just be hanging out on the couch and I'll feel a breze, look down, and see a wet spot on my shirt.
