ya, now i'm wondering!!!

[~Demeter~]

I'm still here. It's my anniversary today. I had a trickle of mucous earlier that I thought could potentially be my water but when I went in to the doctor for a check it wasn't. That was around 2 this afternoon and then around 6ish it happened again.

Happy anniversary, Nic!!

[~Demeter~]

Thanks Bee! How you doin mama?

[luckydog]

Ohhh, I'm very meh. Went to my DD's middle school meet the teacher night tonight. She's a 6th grader and a little overwhelmed/anxious about the transition. This was supposed to be the night that we took her schedule and rotated through her classrooms in order so she could have some familiarity before the first day.

Well.

About two hours before it started, a storm hit. An AZ monsoon storm is nothing like a midwestern storm - there's no drainage here so a relatively small storm can mean MAJOR flash flooding. I'm still not used to how disruptive simple thunderstorms can be around here! Anyway, traffic to this thing was a NIGHTMARE. We were late.

Then when we got there, parking was a nightmare. Then it turns out that the power was out and classrooms were flooded so they corralled all the 6th graders and families into the generator powered cafeteria (lights, but NO a/c) which was stuffy and super humid and we had to stand it was so crowded (I must not look that pregnant, since not one person offered me a place to sit <grumble>.)

So we got to listen to the teachers introduce themselves. There was a microphone, but of course we mostly couldn't hear it. My DD was completely, totally overwhelmed by this whole fiasco. Very counterproductive.

If only that stupid storm could have held off a few more hours. Wahhh. I felt bad for the principal/teachers trying to coordinate this last minute change in the plan. What a challenge for them.

I was annoyed that about 50% of the teachers didn't have their school supplies list prepared, even though we were told to expect this from them today. WTF? They say they'll have it ready on the first day of school (Monday). That is not exactly role modeling the organized, prepared behavior they expect the kids to have. Grrr.

Bleh! Aren't you glad you asked?

I hope you are having a better day, mama!

Oooh.. that sounds delightful I despise when the schools can't get their acts together. Sometimes they are so unorganized. I'm sorry she had to experience that, poor thing.

Other than the lovely watery gushes I've had going on this afternoon/evening I've had a relatively easy day. I didn't sleep much last night but was surprisingly pleasant throughout the day. I didn't even nap! I went to my grandparent's for dinner which was tacos and they were heavenly! I love when someone else cooks and cleans up. I brought leftovers home and shared a couple more tacos with Tron.

oooh.. at the doctors this afternoon I had to get on the scale, I put on 4 pounds in 2 days. Is that possible???? I now tip the scale at 160 which is obscene and I've finally hit the 50 pound mark, does this mean I get to go into labor soon??

[jee'smom]

bee~ sorry about what happened... that sounds horrible!!! i'm a teacher and that reminds me to always be organized (at least in front of other people!), b/c it does affect students and their parents.

nic~ those little wet gushes are exactly what happened to me. i then got a couple of bigger gushes and was like, "this isn't cervical mucus!" and my water had broken. looking back, i swear it was leaking slowly throughout the day! adn i'm glad i had a bigger gush when they tested b/c i was afraid that if i had a very small gush and then they tested like an hour later, it wouldn't show up b/c it would've leaked out by then, yk? and yes you can gain 4lbs in 2 days... water weight, hon! there's no way to gain that much fat that fast.

Noises?

Surely that means progress, right?!

I would say I'm *glad to see you* this morning, but I was kinda hoping you wouldn't be here!!! I know that's what you were thinking too, huh?!

It can't be TOO much longer now... the baby *will*, *at some point*, exit. You can be sure of that!!!

((((BIG HUGS)))) for the wait!

My bone is making crackly noises... it seems baby has finally engaged.

[jee'smom]

damn girl... my crotch never made noises just by turning over in bed. what a neat party trick, nic! i would love to hear those noises!

[~Demeter~]

Don't tempt me!! I might, in my hormonal craziness, take that as my cue to hook up a microphone to my crotch.

[jee'smom]

oh Lord... i needed a good laugh. thanks!!!

[kristen1978]

So I'm up at 4am crashing your DDC because I'm bored to tears and can't sleep. Now I'm in tears LAUGHING and holding my belly and trying not to PEE because of the noisy crotch thing .

As much as I've read, as many clients as I've had, there are things every day that I learn, and this, THIS, is a new one!

Thanks for the laugh -- it was needed.

[momazon4]

I can't sleep either and just had the best laugh I've had in a long time!! The image of a very pregnant woman even trying to hook a microphone up tp her crotch... Anyway, I'm jealous! MY crotch never says anything!

[jee'smom]

that's one thing i do not miss... pg insomnia!!! that's now been replaced with the prolactin-induced sleep... aaaahhhh! good luck ladies!!! your time is coming soon!!!

[Dreamer]
