its so quiet in here mamas...

[chrysalis]

boy, is it quiet in here or is it me??? : where is everyone? what are you all up to? anyone laboring? sigh.....................

i can't believe how dark it is outside at only 5pm.......... and its been rainy all day.... : and very blustery.

i just feel so blah today.......... looking forward to going to bed for the night.

sigh. i just kind of wish i'd see some mucous plug or....something. not in mood for ctx's though.....my energy level is so pooped out from this strep throat i'm fighting. dr. called me back about possibly changing my antibiotic and seemed to be weirded out that it isn't my throat that is bothering me so much this whole 'diagnosis'. he suggested i come in and get checked out more for flu and whatnot. like i have the friggin' energy... sigh............. i have all the other symptoms for strep, though....achey, tired, lack of appetite at times, etc. i just feel pooped out. i'd imagine antibiotics are probably not helping me w/ energy and feeling too up. they do that dont' they..............i just feel so blah, and uncomfortable and, well... blah. i hate feeling blah. its like i can't get a handle on what the heck to do about it to make it go. blah.

I haven't really been around for a couple days because I've been either tired or busy. Saturday was game night and general clean up day. Sunday all I wanted to do was sleep. Today was NST day and DSS had the day out of school for Veteran's Day. DH is coming home Friday Night!!! Found out we're having a girl... so now we just need to decide on a name... I wish my contractions would stay regular and strong like the one at the beginning of the NST this morning. It was cool to see the spike on the monitor, but kinda disappointing that it didn't happen again. Darn those comfy chairs! Off to nurse down DD and see if I can get some contractions going...

I'm here. But I mostly lurk... so unless other are posting I'm pretty quiet.

Yep, it's dark and gloomy here in Portland too... it doesn't help that I napped away most of the day light.

Because everyone is in labor except me! :

Just kidding. Although I do wonder.... I have been here waaayyyy too much today. Didn't get much accomplished around the house...

[Valerieg]

I've actually been nesting. My house is completely immaculate and just about everything is ready. I think I'm worried about someone coming to my house to care for DD while I'm in the hospital and having something that isn't just so. Gosh do I wish my mom lived closer so I wouldn't have to worry about that (my in-laws take it upon themselves to do things...argh).

So I'm around but usually just pop in to see who is in labor and who has given birth. Then I go back to cleaning.

I've seriously taken a vacuum to the entire house five or six times in less than that many days. I spent nearly four hours with just the vacuum yesterday- thank goodness for attachments.

I went to our local FNL chapter meeting today and bought my first Moby from a friend there. I also cleaned my bedroom, hung about 3,000 articles of children's clothing, went to the chiropractor, cleaned the kitchen which hadn't been cleaned in 2 days, got ready for the carpet cleaners who are coming in the morning, and had a total and complete freak-out on the kids after my 10 year old smart-mouthed to me.

Ever see Baby Boom? Like, the part where Diane Keaton starts screaming herself into oblivion and just passes out? Yeah, that. *sigh* 9:51 and dh is still commuting home. At least the house is quiet.

I've mainly been lurking lately.. The fact that I'm about to hit my due date is discouraging me I guess.. esp. since I have no labor signs whatsoever.

[AimeeandBrian]

It's too discouraging to see all the other laboring moms...especially first timers who are due after me. I have had major prelabor for 3 weeks, so I'm pretty cranky.

[De-lovely]

Hugs Lis and Aimee and any other discouraged mamas.....I am sorry you are cranky but you have the right so........!!! I have maninly been lurking trying not to post too much newborn news until we all have gone....
