By the way, if any of you girls are on FB, and want to another friend, look me up! Include a message that you are from BYC or send a PM so I don't "ignore." Deanna Fite McCoy

Done!

Me too!

LOL!

Well, since it's not your mother's day, if you come give a foot rub and a back rub to the rest of us, I'm sure that karma will return the favor and you will quickly become a mother as a "thanks".

Happy mother's day to everyone on here - whether its your first or your fiftieth - a VERY happy mother's day!!!

ETA - yes, Kelsey... I think its even your mother's day, too!! You've been pregnant for nine months now... that in itself deserves a mother's day!!

Unfortunately, I doubt it... I had the same problem with my DD - she was ALWAYS in my ribs, but I think this belt, if anything, would push your uterus closer to your ribs. If you have a maternity store close by, you might stop in and ask to try one on though. Good luck

no, still not gone yet. I am ok with it today, such a nice day, would be a shame to spend it inside a hospital

My patience has returned and someday I will have this boy. Just dont know if I wanna have my membranes stripped tomorrow. I would rather it come as a surprise. Plus, I think he heard the forecast and wants to wait until it gets into the 70's..can't blame him.

sorry happytxchick that you are overdue..you seem like you are being patient though. I am wondering if I will be 5cm tomorrow and still not in labor, maybe by the time I am in labor I will only have a few cm's to go

Good tips on the diapers guys. I talked to a 7 time mom yesterday and she was showing me the cloth diapers...they look pretty cool and would save some money, but I am not a stay at home mom. She said they have to be washed TWICE! once in warm and once in hot or cold...I dont have time to wash things twice. Idk, I might try it though.

Happy mothers day everyone, hope your day was a nice as mine!

Thanks for all the diaper insights! I now have about 200 N's , roughly 100 1's and a smattering of 2s and 3s. I got a TON of coupons over the last few months so I was trying to use them up before they expired. I mostly have Huggies but there's some Pampers and some store brands too. I think I have a good basic stock now.

I think I've watched extreme couponing a few too many times. I think I've saved about $30 on the diapers and whipes alone at this point and I still have some coupons left.

Oh, and please cross your fingers that my DH can finish the coop before I deliver. We have made progress this weekend but it's still not done enough to move out our new chicks. He ran out of the second type of wire we're using for extra support on the lower portion of the run so he wasn't able to secure the latices but he did set them up so I could see what it would look like finished. We still need to finish the run, add the trim, add the latches on the doors, finish painting the interior (basic white for cleaning/odor control purposes) and there's still a piece missing from under the overhang in front (underside).

Rarefeathers- I think you have every right to get any and all the baby stuff you want/need! All first timers should not hold back, unless they have to financially, in my opinion!

I bet you have an AWESOME baby shower! Hope you can post pics!! My best advice for all that baby stuff though- tape your receipts to the packages, that way, in the future, you could exchange it if you need to for something else.

Kelseygirl- You will be in labor very soon, I think. Well, thats my very unproffesional prediction!

Anyone else have one of those curvey body pregnancy pillows?
I just bought one, but I think I'm using it wrong. One end is more curved than the other and I cant figure out if the more curvey part is the top or the bottom! If I use it as the top, it pokes me in the face or neck, if its at the bottom curved between my legs, it pokes me right in the belly. I'm starting to think I'M deformed or something- maybe its because I'm too short for it? I really like it though, its very comfy everywhere else, and I think it will get better when I am further along.

Is it just me?

Had to go bowling, MIL Got me soo angry and just totally ruined my first M-Day morning, so DH did everything he could to make it good again. He took me bowling (Where he said all the pins had MIL's face on them) , then took me on a ride along the lake where we awwed over all the baby geese sunning with their parents. Then we came home for a nap, then planned to go to a movie, but got lazy. Now He is making dinner, and Ice cream to follow (While I still have my built in ice cream table.) . I actually have more patience now that Mothers day is over, I'm ok with the he'll come when he's ready idea, I just get really ready when the weekends come, because the idea of going back to work on Monday SUCKS!
