Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

So, my brain is going away. Suddenly I've become very dingy. I think our little girl is sucking all of my brain cells up.

Yeah...it's still 91 degrees out here...I'm going to wait another or two before I go out & feed/water everything....I laid on the couch for a while and felt much better--until I stood up and started walking around.

Then the inability to breathe came back.

Its gonna be another bad night for DD... her back is killing her again. she has tried a warm bath but its not helping... she also is having a hard tim walking because her back is killing her... any advice?

I don't know if she has a back brace or not, but I bought one around 25 weeks of pregnancy and it helped me out sooo much! You might also suggest that she splurge on a massage - I got one of the chair massages at the mall ($20 for 20 min) and felt so much better afterwards! I'm considering going back for a foot massage lol

I am now 1 day away from where I was when I gave birth to my DD - VERY strange to think that I am about to be more pregnant than I have ever been before!! 38.5 weeks or so right now and feeling relatively good. I've been cramping a lot and spotting some with lots of BH, but don't feel like he's going to be here any time soon. I've enlisted my DH's help to try to get him to come sooner, but hasn't worked yet

I figured he would come sometime in August and tomorrow is August 1st, so it is truly any time now!

I ended up taking DD to the hospital last night. she was having small contractions but the sent her home... saying she was doing too much...funny thing is she was in bed most of the day hurting,,: ( ... they said she is probably at the early stages of labor. and the hospital told her no walking (she went for a very short walk the night before- but didnt get very far) ... her regular doctor tells her to walk... so which is it walk or not... she has now gained a total of 51 lbs

I'm back from my follow-up appointment for my glucose test and my ultrasound and everything is looking great! Baby is measuring within 2 days of my original due date, but they are not going to change my due date since it is so close to what we had before. I passed my glucose test (it was 100) so I'm glad that I don't have to do that horrible 3 hour test.

In the meantime, I think I will stick around the house the rest of the day. I started my morning by backing into my other car as I was leaving.

Tomorrow is meat bird processing day. It is the first time we have ever done it and I am hoping my nausea keeps at bay. I have a hard time working in the heat right now as well, so I am hoping I can step it up and actually be useful at least for a good part of the day. Wish me luck!

How adorable are they!?

Do they hold up well in the wash being stitched? No shrinkage of the pattern or anything!?

Ugh. Crafty people

..I missed out on all those genes.
