post #21 of 27
Just had a good belly laugh...

I was getting dressed and put on my only remaining pair of maternity pants that fit. They felt really tight and awkward so I was getting weepy and whiny that none of my clothes fit and I can't even go out anymore and where's the darn baby anyway, etc....

when suddenly I realized...I had put my pants on backwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a good laugh and have been feeling better since!

Too funny! :LOL

As of last week, I had 2 pairs of shorts that I could wear, but after tonight, I'm down to one. You'd think that I was strangling Wee Bitty or something w/all the kicking, punching, rolling, bobbing and weaving that were going on. We were out grocery shopping and I ended up having to roll down my waistband so I could get semi comfortable (and these were under the belly shorts!). I'd love to be naked 24/7, but I have to at least wear a shirt or ds thinks the breasterant is open for business.

You know how everyone 15-20 years ago used to whisper the word "cancer" when they would talk about someone, "you knew that so and so has *cancer*, right?" Well people are using the same tone to ask me, "But HOW are you feeling?" This is after I tell them that I feel fine. What, do they want a play by play of my bowel movements? My fil who NEVER calls (and we like it that way) is now calling every 3-4 days and stupid me doesn't look at the caller id, just answers the phone. "Yes, I'm fine. No, no baby. Yes, we'll call you when the baby arrives. Thanks for caring." And I haven't even hit my due date yet!

Once sil is suggesting I go get induced and the other is sure that I'll have the baby on Friday, because it's a full moon and you know that's when babies come, on the full moon. My sister on the other hand thinks that we should go 2 weeks late because she was here to visit on Saturday and our house "clearly isn't ready for a second child." No, it's pretty much ready, it's just that I don't clean to her ocd standards.

Oh - please send sticky vibes to the full moon sil as she had an iui a week or two ago and finds out on Thursday if the two eggs "took." They've been trying for three years now and I know that it bothers her that we're having our second when they haven't even had their first yet. W/that in mind it would be pretty cool if she found out she was pregnant on Thursday and Wee Bitty came on Friday, sort of a continuation of the pregnancy cycle. :

Question for you ladies, I'm having some deep cervical twinges from time to time. Is that another kind of bh or just Wee Bitty headbanging away down there? Anyone know? They're different than the punches and kicks that I felt earlier in the pregnancy, they almost feel like my cervix is stretching or being pulled open. Does that make any sense?

Ok - it's late, I've eaten my cereal so my excuses are gone, time to join dh and ds in bed. Hopefully sleep comes easy tonight and I can limit the bathroom trips to 3 or 4. Wish me luck!

Happy Labor Vibes, if you want 'em!

Yep, those twinges are prob normal. I just asked about those in a recent post and several other folks had had them, too. Our bodies are getting ready!

Ah, I'm already up for my 1st bathroom visit. SIGH. Would like to sleep through the night for once.

My " psychic " niece was wrong. I don't have that baby yet! Now she is predicting Tuesday, the 23rd. Hmmm, doesn't sound very psychic to me!! If she keeps guessing she is bound to get it right eventually.
How is everyone doing?
I am a bit grumpy and introspective today. Could mean something- could mean absolutely nothing.

Sorry about your "psychic" niece being wrong. Maybe she was chanelling about your next baby?

I was feeling really crappy this morning, nauseaus (sp?) crabby, having to pee every 2 minutes, but went to our LLL mtg anyway. I feel much better both physically and emotionally. There was a 3 1/2 week old there (SOOOO cute and tiny!) and the mama love that ds and I got was tangible. I know Wee Bitty will come when he/she's ready and I just have to let it go. So I'm consciously not worrying about when the big appearance will be, just knowing that it WILL BE. It's working well (for now!)

I had a few "deep thoughts" this week;

The first time you hear your baby's cry, is also the first time your baby hears himself/herself as well.

Your baby has never experienced "real" gravity before.

Your baby has never experienced hunger, thirst, cold, heat, a breeze, your unmuffled voice before - how overwhelming it must be to be born!

You are your baby's world when they are born and while that totally freaked me out after ds's birth, after this baby's birth it'll be crazy for a while, but that's ok.

Ok - maybe that aren't such "deep thoughts" but considering that I'm forgetting to put a bra on in the morning or to rinse the shampoo/conditioner out of my hair in the shower, they seemed pretty deep to me!

I like your deep thoughts. Very cool.
I cannot wait to hear the baby the first time. With my DS it was by far the most amazing experience of my life ( and I have had some good expereicnes!!!) I exploded in joyous tears and I was soooo in love.
I cannot wait for that again.
