Laura, so glad you like the necklace. It is just a reminder to you that we are all thinking of you and praying for you.

Tabitha, thinking of you hun. Let us know how you are when you can.

Laura, your nursery is coming along great! So cute, and so are you!

Brandy, that stinks that you lost the pics. Blame it on pregnancy much brain!

Melissa, hope you enjoyed your pool day!

Claudia, I can't wait to see pics of your big day. I bet you both looked beautiful and had a wonderful time.

Christie, you are putting us all to shame girlfriend! Mowing?? Don't tell my dh!

Holly, I am glad that you are feeling better. I too find that when I go through a growth spurt my belly seems to ache.

Dh is putting the crib together as I type this. I better go supervise!!

Sorry I know I missed a few of you girls, but I hope you are all doing good and enjoying your weekend!

Laura - I'm so glad you liked the necklace! Amy coordinated everything on our behalf. You are never far from my thoughts.

Brandy - Big bummer about the pics! Hopefully they will turn-up when you aren't looking for them.

Amy - Take some pics of the crib!!

We bought our Orbit stroller today & I love it! It took about 5 minutes to put together. Now I am just anxious to have a little baby to put in it! :-) We also put up the curtain rod & curtains in the nursery...it's baby steps, but we are getting there!

I hope you've all had a wonderful Saturday! Sounds like it's been a hot weekend for all of us.

Laura, I also posted that I was concerned about the lack of movement I was having from Ella on some days. From what other gals said, it is pretty commong, so you and I are not alone.

It seems to be that there has been progress for some of you to bring the nursery together. DH painted the second coat and now we have to empty its contents. I am not there yet, urgh! I'd wish I can move stuff here and there but I just can't.


Tabitha, thinking you! Last night, we were awake by serious thunder and lighting. . . and heavy rain that I just couldn't go back to sleep. I remember you were planning to fly home for your first shower this weekend. Can the shower come to you?

Every Monday, when I return to work, I seem to have a growth spur over the weekend and people do notice it and obviously, so do I. Last Monday, I went to pick up some Chinese after work for dinner and we are regulars there. The owner walks by me and says "so Netty, you are due any time, uh?". I don't think I look that big but being on the petite side, my belly may be looking bigger than my body. I also came to the conclusion this late that loose tops make me look bigger, whereas form fitting tops just fit me better.
Also, I think I can breath better since I am sure that my innie-once-but-flat-now belly button will not stick out. yay!

Laura- so glad that you liked the necklace. We just wanted you to know that you and your DH are in our thoughts.

Netty - my step-sisters who were planning to host my shower have decided that we will just have a shower later and the baby will be the guest of honor!

Not much change here, just laying in a hospital bed. A resident came in this morning and said somthing about letting me go home, which made me very nervous. Then the attending came in and said that wasn't going to happen. Which is fine by me, since they are not sure where the bleeding is coming from.

Tabitha- Hope that baby boy stays put, just drop a quick line to let us know you are okay every day or so!!!

I promise ladies, no more mowing!

Well, we made great progress this weekend on the nursery. We still have little things to do, and we have no furniture yet, or bedding but WE HAVE A ROOM!!! I will try to post some pics later, but we managed to get all the trim up except the crown moulding, the closet door in, the carpet in, the light moved to the center of the room and all other junk moved out. Its coming along finally!!

Now for the important news. My 3D ultrasound. It was amazing. First of all, my child is going to be like her father, she doesn't cooperate well when you need her to. Almost the entire time, she had both legs and arms on TOP of her head hiding her face. The lady said she was completely folded in half, with feet on top of head and hands on top of face and head. Finally, the lady had me turn facing the wall (I could see NOTHING)!!!and they managed to make her mad enough that she showed some of her face. She looked like she was trying to bite the cord. Anyway, here are a few pics of her, I hope they post.

Tabitha - sorry that they haven't found the source of the bleeding. Get plenty of rest and update us when you can. We are all thinking of you.

Christie - awwww..I'm always so amazed when I see the 3D pics. Bailee sure does look like she's trying to take a bite out of her cord on the first pic. Glad to hear that your nursery is coming along. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Hiya ladies! I have been out of town fo the past week but am darn glad to be home!

I'm sorry to everyone who is having contractions, I hope they are able to hold them off for awhile longer!

The 3D pictures of the babies are so cute! thank you ladies for sharing them!


As for me, I failed my 1- hour glucose test but PASSED my 3-hour test! I couldn't believe it, I truly expected to fail it! My blood pressue still hasn't come down yet even with the medicine so I expect my doctor will up my dosage on my visit Tuesday. Last time I saw him he said if he couldn't get the BP down then it would be strict bedrest for me.

Christie - Your 3D pics are amazing! That first one is hilarious...it really does look like she's trying to take a bite out of her cord.
