AmamaAgain - glad to hear your LO perked up after the candy bar!! It's so easy for us to get fixated on *something* at this point, but it's important we acknowledge fear and then put it away. Easier said than done though!! 
PW - hope you have a wonderful day focusing on things other than baby coming!!
Tara -
I hope whatever stress it is gets resolved, or easily put out of your mind, so that you can focus on your pg and upcoming birth!
Myrmom - sorry you're ill!! Hoping you feel better real soon!
OrchideZ - have fun at your breastfeeding group! I'd send you some Fall weather, but I'm not sure it'd make it all the way down to you... lots of Ca needs rain!
to those getting "watched pot" phone calls!!! I'm really hoping not to have that happen, how annoying!! Like you wouldn't let people know you'd had the baby! 
AAM: I lit our furnace pilot light this morning!!!!!
: 
That means it's officially Fall and COLD. We turn off the pilot light in the Spring when it starts warming up, so turning it back on is an acknowledgment that the warm days will be few and far between from now on. It's been super overcast and rainy the past few days, so waking up to a bright and crisp sunny day is awesome. The leaves are fast changing and after our rain a lot of them are on the ground now.
I've got a TON of stuff to do today too! My house is trashed after this weekend since Dh and I did nothing but veg out. I think I slept for 12 hours last night (waking up often to pee though)!
Have a midwife appt tonight, wish me luck! They are drawing my blood again. If there isn't a change for the better I'm thinking of just saying, "Look, this is how my body is. It doesn't feel right to be force feeding myself and obviously the supplements aren't working. I feel healthy, I look healthy, I just want to enjoy the last part of my pregnancy." I'm trying to be positive today so I don't want to whine, but this last week really has NOT been enjoyable b/c of all this stuff.
I can't decide whether to ask for a cervical check or not!!! On the one hand, I think fixating on that isn't helpful b/c we all know it can change in an instant. On the other, it might be nice to have a "baseline" kind of thing since I'm calling my Mom in labor and she's driving 6 hrs to try and make it for the birth. If we knew I was already a little dilated we might call her earlier than if I was tight and closed still. What do you ladies think?

: Well so much for being positive today. I just got off the phone with Dh; the rumor mill is back in action. My FIL was, by governmental mistake, put on a sex offender registry with someone else's charges. This stayed up for years without his knowledge until it came to a head when Dh and him tried to start a business together. I went and looked and was flabbergasted what was on this official government site when it wasn't true; it was REALLY bad! FIL sued, got his name taken off the registry, got restitution, but they live in a small town and how do you fight rumor that was started by the freaking government?!?!? I don't know why this should involve my Dh's business AT ALL, but apparently it does, b/c a client is "very upset" and is needing to talk to Dh about it immediately. If we lose another job over this I'm just going to cry (we have lost jobs b/c of it in the past - hence my going and looking it up). It's so unfair.
I'd be ready to kill someone too. That's a HELL of a mistake to make.
GL.
to all of you still working out!!!! While I have been released from 'bed rest' and I may cook, walk around a bit, I am DEFINATELY not to work out, or even clean much! (
: For all of you who are 'overdue'. I hate that phrase!
I have so enjoyed being his mommy, that I know I'll love being a mooma of 2, but I want to make sure DS knows how much I still love him. It's funny, but if we hadn't loved him so much, we would never have tried for another one! I know he won't understand that. I just want him to still feel precious to me. Oh, now I'm gonna cry! 
You should post it in the belly thread if you haven't already!
I do need to get over to that thread; can you believe I've never posted in there?
Yikes. I hope that can work out.
