Fairymom - Ugh, stupid yeast infection, heres hoping it doesnt last long! And Fridays the big day?! Yes!!!

Heather - Sorry about the disappearing ctx. I know what you mean about wanting to share the babys movements, Ive been seriously tempted to say "See that?! See her?! Crazy!!" to anyone thats around me!!! and patience can kiss my butt!!

Bexo - Im keeping my fingers crossed!!!

michelle - YAY::: for last days of work!! Bring on the labor!!!

Azreial - Im in the same pelvis boat as you! My mw did the measuring today and when she pushed down a little I almost yelled OW!! I knew I was spreading open but I honestly didnt know I would be tender on the outside!!
Also Im with you on the scare. LO didnt move much the past couple days but I figured it was from the glucose testing I did. When I laid down, I COULD feel little fingers tickling around. And your poor kids!! My dd is doing the same thing. This is the ultimate lesson in patience!! (and nurturing something to grow)

Peony - heres hoping tomorrows the day! Oh and by the way, I looked at your blog and I LOVE the pic of you in the grey shirt, you look like you have a torpedo in there! (and Im saying it in the most loving way!)

Shine - Im with you on the insomnia. Are you doing the sleep crazy deep for an hour, then up for 3 hours? Im literally sleeping 4 hours a night but Im not to tired in the day! Practice I guess!!

Fischk - Im glad you had some room to move last night!!! Those nights are invaluable!!

bohdi- Im so excited for you!!! The light at the end of the tunnel!!! Im SO glad you have obs you like, the trust makes all the difference!


Murph - hopefully its something you ate and not a real sickness!!

Incamom - What kind of reflexology did she do to you? Stuff for labor? Relaxation?

Kate - Cmon BABY!!!!

Gnatty- LOL!!! The Labor recipe!! How about add one husband to stimulate nipples with a hot compress on your belly. And Im so sorry to hear about your dh grandpa. My Opa died last year and he was pretty much worn down to nothing the last 4 years, from strokes, heart attacks. I remember him asking to talk to me on the phone about 2 weeks before he passed and we had a great conversation, laughing and reminiscing !! Ive experienced this with others too, they get enough energy to say their last goodbye and im SO grateful for it!!! Im glad you guys got to be with him a little when he was "doing better"!

Ciar - Thinking of you tonight and sending thoughts of labor your way!!!!

lilgreen - That darn cough is going around here too!! DD is fine but she sounds like a 70 yr old smoker!! (I think it might be part allergies too)

Fruitful - its hard NOT to be in a funk at this time, Im sure. Were almost done, you have a cold, youre worn out, etc. Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

Webjef - My due date got changed from the 29th to the 25 the other day so the race is on! Nothing much here to report either!

liseux - Im so sorry for your loss. I know from experience that just because your loved one is in hospice and you KNOW what it really means, it doesn't make it ANY easier.

I think I got to everyone!!!
Im feeling WAY better tonight!!! DD and I dyed easter eggs, we did the natural thing, using grape juice, coffee and tumeric, which turned out BEAUTIFUL. AND we did a kit of funny princesses with funky little cowboy hats, Im going to have to post a pic, hilarious! In addition to those, we also did High School Musical eggs, so cute! (2 dozen altogether)

I bought the Stephanie Meyer book The Host for the time Ill be in the hospital and some new slippers. Then I took a mile long power walk with dd1 and her and I checked my blood sugar together. Shes so protective of me, shes been monitoring my eating and exercise all day and then writing my numbers in my chart! Did dishes, one load of laundry, had THREE drs appts today and went to a friends to have tea! Whew!!! Tomorrow Im doing bathrooms, getting MY hospital bag together (dd1 and 2 are done), putting the George Michael greatest hits on mp3, dd1 to dr appt, lunch with a friend, etc. Seems like the closer I get to labor the busier I become!!!

Have you tried stripping the membranes and then dtd? That was the charm that did it with my previous births.

[fruitful womb]

pumping now..on the birthball all day

I may have to try these...So hoping it is working for you!!!!


Lindsey: I slept really great last night till 4am...now I"m wide awake. I guess that's better than being up every few hours which is what the last few nights have been like. I took a walk after supper and a bath so maybe that helped relax me???


"liseux - Im so sorry for your loss. I know from experience that just because your loved one is in hospice and you KNOW what it really means, it doesn't make it ANY easier." This was Lindsey's response, but I second this. My dad was in hospice 6 years ago and passed there. I miss him terribly!
