Hey gals!
I am ok. I feel ok, my uterus has been tight like a basket ball on and off, is that contractions? It does not hurt, but sometimes i wonder if thats the babies rolling around. It gets tight and lumpy and then softer and relaxed.

Maybe 3-4 times a day and night.

Well, lyly - I know what kind of mental turmoil you must be dealing with. We are all pulling for you!

Debbie - I am not doing any packing. The army sends movers in on July 7th and they do it all! All we have to do is clean up afterwards! I have rested and laid around for weeks.

My last day of work is Friday, as my boss is closing the office next week! So I will start training his wife tomorrow, since we did not get any responses to our ad!

JasJulesMOm- So, what kind of stuff are you buying? Isn't it great knowing the sex. Is there anyone on this site not finding out?

Jen - It could be braxton hicks that you are having. My uterus tightens when I have to pee. I notice in the mornings I am flabby and as the day goes on I get harder and harder.

Julie - I may have to look into that. Is it safe? Yeah, when I have gas and need to pee I feel it more. You are right.
I just would rather come to this panel instead of going to the doctor with every question. I dont want to seem paranoid.

JUlie- I have purchased alot. This weekend I bought some cute bibs, socks, onesies, rompers and shoes. I cannot wait til the clothes for the fall are in the stores. I am ready to go crazy and buy everything...LOL. Big stuff I bought is a swing, so cute it is the butterfly papason swiong by fisher price and it is pink, stroller, car seat, bouncer seat, tub, bottles, diapers and wipes. I just keep buying. It is like a disease.

JasJulesMom - are you planning on having a shower. i forget. If so, don't buy too much because other people will buy for you.

I am not having a shower being this is my second child.

Jen - What you are feeling is normal. I have it and my best friend always mentioned it as well. I am pretty sure you are fine!

JasJulesmom,

wow you are on a buying spree!!! How fun!. I don't plan on buying much of anything. This is my second girl, so I should be set unless the size of Cara and season are a little off. My dd was born in March and was 8 lbs 12 oz. This one will be born in November, so it depends on how big she is and how fast she grows!. I have tubs and tubs of clothes from my dd that I am hoping to use again. As far as colors, I haven't even thought about it. We are in the process of moving our bedroom and dd bedroom upstairs. Both were downstairs and its been a mess. The one room upstairs was a game room, so the pool table and all that crap has to go back down the stairs (the room also needs repainted as the current paint scheme is quite loud and not good for a bedroom)

Lisa,

I think you, me and Reshema are all right there with the same due date. However, since you are carrying twins you will probably get to see your babies before Reshema and I. You crack me up with your postings about food!!!!

Lyly,

hang in there. Just a few more days. I will be sending positive thoughts your way. Think BFP!!!!!!

Jen,

that is nice that the Army moves you. That takes some of the stress away. I can't imagine in this economy that they didn't find anyone to fill your job. Just means you were too good at it!!

Ronda - what happened is that they listed it as part time and we did have one lady come in and she saw the nudie girl calendar in the basement that the guys use.
It is a construction company and thats just how they are. It is in the basement where you do not have to go!

Oh well, she told me that she could not work in a confined space with just her and my boss all day. oh well.

The bosses wife will be coming in and hopefully when she gets tired of it, she will be able to train the next girl.

My foot is healing up fine from stepping on the nail and I have had some painful headaches lately. So bad i can hardly sleep. not sure why. And all they say I can have is tylenol. That does not do me any good.

lisa - I tried the BK original chicken sandwich and for some reason they put bacon on it, not a good combo. So I think I will stick with the tendercrisp. I love to eat, but only really fruit and veggies. Everything else does not sit well. I too love reading about you and your food and how it made you pass out! LOL! YOu must have been stuffed and exhausted from the mural and gardening! Take it easy!

Jen - I am with you - tylenol does nothing for headaches! I feel your pain.

Hey girls- I had some bright red blood this morning but still slimy so I am thinking it is still mixed with mucous and only when I wipe. I spoke to one of the nurses at my clinic and she said it could be a side effect of the progesterone, but I told her I never spotted on progesterone before in any other cycle not one spec. Then she told me it may be implantation bleeding and I should stay positive. They wont do my test any earlier but she said if the bleeding progresses to a full flow I could come in and be examined by the nurse practitioner to see if they can tell where the bleeding is coming from. 2 more days!!! Uhggg!!!!!!!

Lyly -

Follow their advice, keep your head up. It could be a number of things. Yes, it could be AF but maybe not. Just relax.

These last two days will drag I know, but you will know soon. Prayers and hugs coming your way! :-*

Oh Lyly - I have my fingers crossed. You really deserve this as you have been through so much.

Lyly- Until you know for sure BFN continue to have faith and believe BFP.

Ronda- My dd is 5 and I gave away alot of her stuff because I just thought this was never going to happen. It is OK for the most anyway because she waas born in May and was 9lbs 15oz. So I am sure the seasons would be off since this baby will be in late October and hopefully not so big. I do have some special stuff I saved and outfits I loved so I have to dig them out and will hopefully get some use.

Julie- Since this is my third baby I do not expect a shower. That is why I am buying so much, in fear of not having enough.

Lyl, keep the faith honey. I have been thinking of you this a.m. and hope that it is just implantation or something that you don't have to worry about and you still get a + beta on Wed.

Glad I can amuse and entertain all of you with my food critiquing lol. Btw Jen, I too have that pressure in the middle abdomen. I feel like my belly is a hard basketball some days. I also feel it like you Jules, when I really have to pee or have gas. Also Jen, I have never heard of bacon on the original chicken sandwich...that is strange. I went to try that tendercrisp one from McD's the other day and go figure they were revamping the whole restaurant and I got shut down lol. Another day. :)

I found a cool free site for any of you who want to do a little thing to share with family re: babies that you can update and post a few pics on. It is free because it is limited as to how much info and how many pics you can put on but it is really cool. I only do the Live Space with you girls so I thought this would be good for others outside of our little circle. the website is www.easysite.com and mine is www.
www.easysite.com/FedorBOYS if you want to check it out.

Ronda, yes, you are probably right about me going earlier though I hope it isn't too much earlier as I would like to go to school until the 31st. of Oct. to give me 15 weeks off with my buggers while still getting paid. :)

Lisa,

Lyly,

Keep your hopes up....it could be a good thing. I know its scary, but all of us are pulling for you.

girls,

I cannot wait until Thursday. I get my hair highlighted, hopefully to hide some of the grey!

JasJulesMom - I am in the same boat. Everything I want - i have to buy myself.

Lisa - You are too funny with your food.

I am starting to feel a little run down. Hopefully, it is nothing.

Julie,

You are 31 weeks pg.....that could be why you feel rundown.! take it easy, try and gets some extra rest and push fluids and veggies and fruit. Hopefully you will start feeling perky again.
