tls, i don't think your words would be considered discouraging to either myself or kaje! both of us seem to want to hold our little ones in for a time yet.. but wouldn't it be ironic if we went before the rest of the eager mamas? 
:
i hope you can get more comfortable.. i often wonder if my birth experience will be the opposite of my first (which was very fast and dramatic, kind of frightening). wonder how likely that is?
welcome, juliem! you are going to be my role model for the next few days as i try to wrap up all these loose ends around here. you seem to be very ready! that's how i need to be too!
wooby, i've been exhausted too.. gah, it seems like my nesting instinct is waning. the drive is there, but my body doesn't want to keep up. and i keep having cravings for fatty foods. ugh. which is definately NOT helping.
okay, i have a question: for about a week now i've been having occasional (like 5 times a day..) sharp pains, sort of cramp like, but brief, in my vaginal area.. hard to tell where, exactly.. does anyone know what this could be? i was diagnosed with a mild UTI last friday, tho i exhibit no symptoms other than trace blood cells in my urine.. could it be that? or baby's head? or my cervix?

Now you can relax...
All you should focus on at that point is breastfeeding and sleeping. 
) and what our due dates are. Did I miss anyone?
What have we done! 
aww.. i know exactly what you mean. i secretly want a girl, and sort of feel like it's a girl (tho i'm not certain, like i was with my son), so i know that either way i'll be excited; if it's a boy it will be a surprise and therefore equally as special as if it's a girl. that sucks that your ultrasound guy told you. but i'm sure you will fall in love with your boy when he comes!
