Vanessa - You're making more progress than the rest of us! That's a great report for 35 weeks.

Where's Robin with her check in??

I had those weird cervix pains last night too. I rarely complain but after a couple of ouches I found dh finally packing his hospital bag at midnight last night

Got to go check on Joy's girls too. Thanks Cat!

......with my leaking nose somehow leaked out good mood. I dont know what happened to me, I am sad, very sad and dont know why.

All of you, are in great mood??

I did try to go again for shopping today, after walking in two stores - I did turn around and went home without shoes for me and without any gift for dh. Again.
I dont know anymore what to do.
I really wanted to buy something for dh. Also wanted to buy something special for him for to becoming father first time ever. But looks like I am not able to do that.
I go take a nap. Have everybody good day.

...only 7 nights and Gregor will be here...

Cat, nose is same, using home made "tampons" from tissue.......thanks for asking.....

Vanessa - that sounds like a pretty exciting Dr's appt to me!

Cat - the hotel is tonight. I can't wait to relax all by myself! It will be such a treat to just do nothing after work and not have to make polite conversation with my ILs!

I'm off to check out Joy's blog!

oh, mirka you need a mirka pick-me-up. Give your doggies a hug. I hope the nap makes you feel better. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time at the stores. They're really crowded now. I find that first thing in the morning they're the least crowded so if you're up for trying again, i recommend when they first open tomorrow morning-- many malls are open at 7 or 8 am now- you can check online.

do you have a bag packed for your hospital trip?

Cat, I was already hugging them and giving them kisses and crying while I was doing that, was thinking I will feel better, but it didnt help. Its ok, I hope it is just some "TWO DAY THING" and that it will go away...

I will try tomorrow again, but it will be last my try. On weekend it will be everywhere big ZOO, I am sure I will stay at home.

ok, I go lay down........thank you

Mirka - I tried looking for shoes last week and had to give up after about 7 stores and the mall being mobbed. Do you have any athletic stores near you? I found some mens flip flops there that work and you can wear them with socks if you're desperate. Why not look online for something for dh so then you can go in the store and head straight for that one thing and ignore the rest of the crowds? Feel better over there!!

Cat - Dh packed a little duffle with shampoos, toothpaste, a few changes of clothes. Just the basics. Our rooms here have beds for the hubbies so he's planning on staying. Plus, I'm afraid he'll have to go straight from work so I don't want to be packing his stuff while I'm in labor

Boston - Have you checked out the room service menu yet?? I hope you have lots of fun with your r&r tonight!

Hey ladies, hope you all are doing well. When my OS said he was going to put casts on my feet because my tendonitis was so bad and I kept on wearing sandals, I found some great shoes that helped alot. They are Easy Spirit slide tennis shoes. There is some sort of stretchy material on the side which is great for swollen feet...YES!!! They are not very appealing to the eye...but man are they comfortable. I even wear them around the house, because walking bare foot hurts even more now than ever.

Mirka - I am sorry you haven't had any luck finding shoes yet. It must be so frustrating. I agree with Cat - try going to the store very early in the morning when it's less crowded.

Peachy - I haven't checked out the room menu yet...it's not on-line. But, I've eaten at the restaurant in the hotel before and it's VERY good...hopefully it will be the same kind of food...I doubt it though...room service always seems a step below on the quality ladder at most hotels.

Hi girls!

I just got home from what was FINALLY a very productive day. Mirka I know how you feel. The malls are insane right now. Its funny to think when we were all "April Cycle Buddies" I didnt even THINK about the holidays! I have told DH no more babies at Christmas time! We're missing Christmas with my family and I have to run around (like all of you!) trying to get presents when all you want to do is be a slug.

I went to the wedding photographers (remember we've only been married a little over a year) and I got all the photos on disc now. He gives them out at the 1 year anniversary. So I then went to Wolf Camera and got the greatest shots turned into all different sizes. Im so excited to give them to DH. He's big into birthday "weekends" so i might give him 1 present tonight. (his bday is on Sunday) The photographer still owes me alot of pics, but I didnt have time for all of that today. (Ive gotten completely slack with them since going thru IVF).

Vanessa-I agree with the others!! That appointment wasnt uneventful! Thats big news!! WOW!! Little Stella just make an appearance sometime soon!

Cat-I bet you arent Pseudo Ready! Just wash the bassinet sheets and you'll be ready to go!!! Your coffee/muffin combo sounded good! I caved into a cheesesteak at the mall today.

Peach-Hows the new jug going? *sigh*

Robin-POST! POST! What happened at the OB visit today???

Boston-ooooh, does the hotel have a big bathtub and you can order roomservice!!

Maybe/Nat/Lineali/Bri-HI TO ALL OF YOU!! xoxo

Havana - sounds like you had a wonderfully productive day!! I have not been going anywhere near the mall if I can help it. DH and I have had to run a couple of errands after work this week and it's all very focused shopping with a plan of attack before we even park. hahaha I don't know how you're managing the insanity of the crowds at the mall!

Yes, the hotel has a nice big tub but, I won't be using it. Tubs that other people have sat their bare a$$ in always freak me out....and I never trust that the hotel staff does a good job of cleaning/sanitizing...even in the best of hotels. I'll stand in it to shower but, I'm not putting my naked behind on it. hahahaha I have never even used the tub in our house...that's why I can't wait for our brand new claw foot soaking tub to be installed in the master bathroom....so I can take a relaxing bath. Yes, I know I am weird about this! hahaha

Peachy- Glad Dh packed his bag- that’s sweet

Cat- you so lucky the malls open at 7am. There is only one department store that does that around here- but I need the whole mall open!

Mirka-sorry you’re not in a good mood I have my days where I’m not in a “great mood- our brain right now is in overdrive! The malls are not the place for us ladies to be! I tried shop on my lunch hour and spent most of my time in lines
But on a good note- 7 nights and Gregor will be here!!!! Have a good nap!

Boston- Have fun tonight!

Havana- how ironic that you are sorting out wedding pictures now
