Donna, I hope you feel better soon - that's just way to much going on at once (even if you weren't pg)!
Brandy, I'm sorry about your mom. Do you have some friends near by who can help when your little one comes?
Well, this isn't really a big deal, but is just aggravating. We have some old "junk" we need to get rid of (broken dresser, broken grill, etc.). So I made an appt with a company to come out and haul it off - dh won't get around to it and I'd like it done before the baby comes. Anyway, we set it up for 1:30. I had my water aerobics until 1pm. When I got home they had come early and LEFT because I wasn't here yet.  I called and they want to reschedule for Friday, but I really just want it done b/c who knows how long I have.  I told him I didn't want to wait - they said MAYBE they'll be able to come back later today... What is the point of an appointment if they can just come whenever they want and leave if you're not there?

Thanks, Brandy - me too. I was just annoyed that he didn't apologize or anything. They actually seemed annoyed with me for not being here at 1pm when it was scheduled for 1:30. Oh well.
We don't have any family around here either, so I know how you feel in regards to being on your own to raise kids. I would be sad too if no one was making the trip once the baby is born. How about church? I'll bet some people would be willing to help (even just to bring over some food). The people at my church have really been great, but I know it takes awhile to really get to know people. I was going there for about a year before I really felt I had some friends there.

((Brandy))
I'll give you my help!! I am a weird one, I don't want anyone's help. I want my dh and I to experience it on our own. Afterall we are the ones that moved away from family! That being said, I am also fortunate enough that my in laws will be here. I love my inlaws, they are my second set of parents, but I wish they wouldn't be here. I don't want to hurt their feelings though, cause I know they are just so excited and I don't want to take away their excitement. My dh said he will set the ground rules for them, and their jobs are to cook and clean and let us deal with the baby, and if we need or want help we will ask. So I am hoping it all goes okay. I am trying to figure out if it will be rude to ask them to come once we are home from the hospital. They want to be here while I am in labor...that gives me anxiety!!
So if I could, I would give you my in laws for a week... 
I should say on the same hand as I just typed that, I am sad that my parents won't get to see the little guy for several weeks. But I don't want my parents feeling obligated to come...so who knows! I am all over the place with what I think.
Right now, I feel as though I am in denial over having a baby. I mean I know he is in me, and all but that just isn't getting me motivated to get prepared, I have a stack of books I need to start reading, and have no motivation...all I want to do is sleep.
My pain is still there, not quite as bad, just can't lift my legs to put pants on or spread my legs to far apart. I am counting down to Tuesday when I have physical therapy again.
Brandy - have fun at your class tonight!
Lily - I have never understood the appt thing either, even when it comes to getting your cable hooked up or phone lines...it seems they make a time slot for you but never come then. Go figure! I am hoping they are there right now picking up your stuff!! Way to be knocking things off your to do list!!

Did the dreaded Strep swab today. ew.
I went yesterday for the GBS swab. The nurse handed me a swab, told me to go in the bathroom, use it to wipe front to back, put it in the tube, and give it back. It took less than ten minutes from the time I got to the office, did the test, paid my $20 and left. That was not what I was expecting at all.

Kim, you're right. That's a great attitude to have.
Kristin, I'm glad the pain is a little better and hope it keeps mending! Don't worry about your motivation - if you want to sleep, sleep!! I'm still hoping the people will call and come by today...
Emily, that is weird, although a lot of people might prefer doing their own in private anyway. BTW, praying for you and Chris with the job situation. ... and I'm glad you're back. (((hugs)))
Brandy, what in the world is on that cat's head? LOL

Okay, they are coming out tomorrow at 2. I hope they don't get here way early again b/c I have my OB appt at 11am. Should give me plenty of time...

Anyway. I tried to pick Nadia up yesterday and I strained. I was on my feet all day yesterday and I think my body was just saying "You need to slow down". So I am. No other problems. Hubby and I are keeping away from 'that' for a bit too. But everything seems fine. Baby has been telling me he's fine too. 
my soldier!
