Crosscat - thanks for the new thread! How did it get to be Aug already???

I had the best intentions of leaving work at 12 today but then... I called into an urgent meeting with the Mayor's staff that kept me busy gathering data and such and etc. until 2:30! But I left then... I'm getting better...

We'll see what my dr has to say next week about how much longer I should work.

Michelle - how are you feeling today?

Well, July has passed, no baby yet!

40 + 3 today...

Still just feeling intermittant contractions and crampiness.

Ah well. At least DH and I have been getting out and going on dates, enjoying each other these last few days.

Still waiting on Nony's update!

Jencat, what did your Dr. say about work?

Thanks for the new thread crosscat!

Michelle, been thinking about you, lady! Sounds like you're in good spirits. Sending peaceful, birthing vibes your way!

Jen, you're a workhorse, woman! I don't know how you do it. How are you feeling physically these days?

Welcome to our new mama, and thanks to crosscat!

I'm 31w3d today, which feels like I can practically claim 32 weeks... so amazing. I'm so grateful to still be carrying my two little guys, despite feeling stir crazy here in the hospital.
They will want to induce as soon as I hit 34w, but I think if things are like they are now, they might have a fight on their hands!!
Gotta run and shower before they come get me for my non stress test.

Hi to the rest!

Yay Celeste! Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the thread CrossCat.

Welcome Leomother!

I wonder when we'll hear from Michelle and Nony?

Jencat - maybe this is a good time to take up a craft hobby like knitting, if you don't already

Catherine: looks like you are creeping up towards the finish line... I can still remember pm'ing you about preseed like it was yesterday, but apparently not...

Like Catherine, I'm also doing well, just moving along, week by week. I went to a family reunion on my husband's side this weekend and one of his cousins (who hosted the event) gave me a whole bunch of baby items: a handmade sling, a carrier (baby bjorn, but hey, I had none so far), a carseat with a coordinating stroller (pod goes from car to stroller frame), a high chair, a swing, safety latches, receving blankets, and and handful of other items. I am so grateful. She has two boys (ages 5 and 2) and my sister in law has two girls (ages 3 and 2), so I'll have good sources of clothes for when our surprise baby arrives.

: Congratulations, Michelle!

I am so very happy for you and I look forward to hearing more details when you get settled in a bit more.

Oh no, Jencat!
: Stay in there little babies!
: I'm glad to hear that they were able to stop the labor. I assume they are giving you the steroid shots for the babies lungs (hopefully, they will stay put and won't need them)? I'm sorry you have to be on bedrest, keep us posted if you can and remember I'm a NICU nurse so if you have any questions I can answer, let me know.

Speaking of twins due in October... looks like Celesterra had her babies today-- their weights are terrific for 32 weekers!

:
:Congratulations, Celeste! And welcome to the world, Maxwell and Shoghi!
:
:

May you both breathe well, gain weight, learn to breastfeed well, and go home soon!

PS to Jencat's Babies: Just because Maxwell and Shoghi showed up today, doesn't mean you get to. Stay put!
