Just keep working on it. She'll get it, Kathryn.

And I would not be worried about a spot of brown blood on Monday and no signs since then. Just mention it to the midwife. It could have been from the last time you were with hubby even if that was days before, since it was brown, KWIM? Maybe just overdoing it a little worked it out?

Yeah, my friend is totally not one of those crazy bride type people. She just wants to get married and have her friends/family there.


so what are the colors....maybe you need to make a carrier that matches the colors so you can carry baby down with you if you have to....that will keep him/her quiet!!! LOL


I've already thought it...her colors are dark purple and silver. (subject to change) I'm already thinking little suit for a boy or a cute frilly dress for a girl! And yeah, I am sure she wouldnt mind if I had to hold baby during the ceremony, it will not be a super duper formal type thing. And her whole family knows me well so they'd just be tickled to have us there!

And yes, hubby will definitely help, he'd even suffer through hair appts etc.

Friend is a very sweet girl and I am sure she'll be "nice" on the dress choice. I did tell her it couldn't be anything backless or where I couldn't wear a bra (leakage and "size"). She just laughed and told me that she'd be sure to pick the lowest cut, sleaziest thing she could find. (joking of course)

ADRIA - that sounds kind of scary. I've never had anything like that happen. I think you should check with your doctor. I don't want to say anything scary, but it almost sounded seizure-like... anyway, it wouldn't hurt to call your doc.

KATI - can't wait to see the pics!!

Just had my OB appt. My BP was a little high again, but dropped. Nonetheless, they'll have me come in Tues. (due date) to check again. My cervix is just barely dilating (she couldn't get her finger all the way through it), but I am about 1/2 way effaced and his head is WAY down low. She had to reach around the head and mash on the top of my uterus to get to my cervix. She said she thinks it will be "any day now", but of course we don't really know.

"Any day now" is I think the cruelest thing an OB or m/w can say! It will be "any time" between now and 42 weeks! And while that is "any day now" compared to 8 or 9 months off, it's still a long, long time! Glad to hear that you're effacing and dilated a bit, though - always good signs!! Little Caden will be here before you know it!!!!

Kathryn - sounds like Nadia's doing just great and will be a big help with your new little one!!! I love seeing pics of her on your blog - she's so growed up!!

Adria - I agree with Lily - I would contact your care provider and let them know what happened. That sounds really odd to me!

Okay, question! When I get really "intense" BH, it almost feels I'm having trouble catching my breath. Normal?

As for Nadia, it's probably a good time to start teaching her to walk beside the cart since in a short while you'll have a new baby strapped to the cart and she'll be usurped anyways!

(no offense Kim, but....) ok..so are there any "older" moms out there that find this statement to be funny? I personally like to strap mine into the cart as long as humanly possible so I KNOW they can't run off and me have to chase them!!!


I'm not an old mom yet, but I feel like it! 6 siblings, tons of foster siblings, babysitting since I was 11! I would say it depends on the kid. With my 3 youngest sisters, the goal was to keep them in the cart as long as possible. I remember going grocery shopping with my mom, and I would push the cart with the three girls in it, and she would push the cart with food. Unfair at the beginning, but by the end I would say we were about even.

I agree with Sarah, take Brian up on any offers of assistance...like back massages, breakfast in bed, etc.

You obviously don't know my Brian. He did make dinner last night, though his first thought was "cereal for all!" LOL

Donna, I think we're married to similar men! It's like pulling teeth to get a back massage from dh. I'm glad I'm not the kind of woman that gets upset about that stuff. Even in pregnancy, stuff hasn't bothered me. I just know how he his, he knows how I am, and we're madly in love, so we're good together.

My US was ok. I had a student, who I didn't think was very good. I couldn't see well, and kept asking her to turn things. And explain things....I had no idea what I was looking at half the time. Hubby said he could see quite a bit. I would ask her to tell me what I was looking at and she would say it quick and move on. I kept making her go back and point on the screen and show me, but it was getting rather annoying. When the real US tech came in at the end, we got to see some good stuff then. Saw baby sucking, and got the nice bicep picture below. I have strict instructions to email that one to all of DH's brothers. Anyway, I'm embarrased about how disappointed I was at the US in general. Probably because I'm so into that stuff that I really was interested in EVERYthing we were seeing. But dh had fun, I'm over it, and we did get some cute pictures!

Hey, PureJoy, you might want to edit your full name out if you care about such things.

awesome pics Purejoy. Did you find out the sex? Or are you in the surprise category? Or do you already know and I'm just an idiot?

I admit I used to be upset by his seeming lack of care. Now I realize that he does care...he just doesn't do it in the ways I think he should. We're both growing and learning how to do this "marriage" thing. And I love that man with all my heart, even if he never ever brings me breakfast in bed. He does do a 30 second massage here and there...and I know I am loved. That's what matters.

Nice ultrasound pictures! Your baby's foot looks just as big as my baby's foot.

Sandy...your punishment for calling yourself a not nice name...you now must say 5 nice things about yourself.

Eeeww ouch! I found myself crossing my legs as I read that!

I don't get all these internal examinations that y'all seem to have towards the end of labour. Back in the dinosaur days, there were no internal examinations all through pregnancy - nothing, in fact, till you were in labour. Not sure why they feel the need to fiddle about there before that.

Ryanne- thanks for pointing that out. I totally forgot, thinking they were just regular pictures.

Sandy
- Nope, we don't know! Today would have been the day, but we did not find out. We're up for the surprise. Although I'm starting to think girl, and when I asked dh about it a couple days ago he said maybe girl. Who knows....a boy would be so fun too. We're really up for anything!

Donna
- My dh wears a size 13, so.... But, he does have a small head! His whole family does. I'm hoping this baby takes after them. The head circumference was about 6 1/2 inches....when I came home I looked at that on a measuring tape and told hubby "I can do that!" Now if only it would stay that way! Big brain, small head...I'm up for that!

Kim- I'm 20 weeks 2 days. Which is exactly what baby measured. How random. Guess we're right on!

Manda, I agree! Actually my practice doesn't routinely do them until you hit 40 weeks, but since they were concerned about my BP they just wanted to see if there was any "progress".

Donna and Kati - I'm there with you in the DH department! LOL He loves to be massaged, but it's like I'm asking him to cut off his arm if I want one. Well, he's got some really good qualities, so I try to think on those things.

Well, I don't know if she pushed him down even further during my exam (since she had to mash on the top of my uterus), but he feels even lower and he's moving around like crazy, and it hurts!!!! He keeps ramming me and sending sharp pains into my cervix and rectal area... I'm going to go lay down for awhile and see if he settles a bit. It doesn't feel like contractions, just his movements that are hurting...

Something to keep in mind, is if he is down there putting pressure on, things will start to efface.... and he's closer to "getting here"

The good thing about a positive feedback loop is that the more pressure there is on the cervix, the more the hormones are released to cause contractions and bring on labor....

Well...I'm still waiting for those five good things, Ms. Sandy. Or else we'll have to come up with them for you.

Lily, try to focus on it as being GOOD pain, because it is! The more pressure you feel, the more things are probably changing in there. Baby day is comin'!

Purejoy, my husband wears a 14 and he has a big head. But then, these big birthing hips have to be good for something, right? And um, you do know the baby's head is going to grow still, right? It'll be fine though. I'm sure of it.

I just realized I am 24 weeks today. WOOHOO!!! I'm trying to enjoy this pregnancy, but at the same time, I can't wait to meet this little one. I'm also getting antsy to share what the baby is. Yes, already.

Oh, and feel free to share away!

LOL...okay, you can live in denial.

It's killing me not to share, but I know some of you have a good guess anyway, so that helps. LOL Besides that...I know better than most not to rely on ultrasound.

Five good things about Sandy...
1) She is a daughter of the King...a Princess!
2) She is a loving wife and mom.
3) She knows where her strength comes from.
4) She is a great friend.
5) She is fun!

I'm on the girl bandwagon for you too, Donna.

Erin, I tried finding pics of the maternity and regular bridesmaids dresses for my SIL's wedding, but they're not on there anymore. You'll have to post what dress you'll be wearing once they're picked out. How's the baby room coming? Do you have the furniture all set up?

Yeah, I'll post pics when I see what we are getting. We'll go in a couple weeks to pick them out.

We havent got the furniture put together yet, but the room is pretty much cleaned out, we'll probably get to that next weekend or so.
