BABY DUST 11
Well things are good with me. I can feel my little girl moving around all the time and its getting stronger and stronger everyday. Hearburn has been extremely bad the last few weeks, I get it alll the time and from everything. I have noticed I have been very easily annoyed in the last few weeks.........and hubby would agree. I just feel irratable so dont worry Joyce you are not the only one. Seems like at night my stomach hurts, like the skin maybe. I think after a day of eating and a bit of growing it just seems to hurt a bit at night, sleeping is hard b/c I cant get comfortable.
Sounds like alot of complaining but really I am doing well, just a few complaints. I am enjoying some aspects of being pregnant, like feeling her kick and people commenting on my belly. We bought a stroller and car seat the other day and it was pretty exciting, the hubby was rolling around the store with it. He was excited about it so that makes me excited. We had a 3D ultrasound last week and are going back to finish the DVD tomorow, they want to get more of her moving and coke does not make her move. I am thinking ice cream. I'lll post more pics after!

I'm 37 weeks completed as of yesterday, whoo-hoo!
Went to a semi-formal for my husband's work tonight (he works at a hospital) and ate too much cheesecake. I liked meeting all the people he works with whom have been asking about me. It was a lot of fun to be the center of attention and to feel like I was looking decent. I think this is my last hurrah for that, probably for the rest of my life ;)
I am sorry Joyce that your hernia hurts! THat really *****. Has your belly button popped yet? are you 26 weeks now?? Sorry, I don't remember the exact place you are at! You are right though, it won't be long... My last 10 weeks sped (and are speeding) by.
Krissyy- I love the way you talk about your little girl. I can really feel your love for her though your words. :) I am looking forward so much to falling even more in love with my son and as a by product, my husband as well. I cannot wait to see all of his reactions to Daniel, as he is so excited to meet him, cuddle and hold him.
Yeah, I'll find out in a day or so if I'm group B positive or not...something tells me I am going to be... I think that is my mind just preparing me for the worst, so I'm not disappointed if I am. :P Even though it's a very natural thing to have the bacteria I know.
Ok, time for beddy-bye now. :D

i just went into my 23rd week and no my belly button hasnt popped...not sure if it will, it never did with my other kids so i am not sure if it will for this one or not. but it has gotten a little shallower. i am wayyy overweight anyhow and have so much excess fat and skin from being overweight and prior pregnancies. plus excess hanging skin from being 313 may 04 and getting down to 222 jan 07. i had gained a little bit from there but not much (20 lbs i think in 2 yrs) i have only gained about 15-20 total so far...feeling baby move everyday several times a day. this morning as i was laying in bed there was alot of steady "bumps" i think baby had hiccups cause is was constant and steady...
a hernia is a hole in your muscle tissue (with me it is at the c-section scar) that allows intestine to pass through causing a bulge. it is normally not painful but with my growing uterus i think that when i do too much standing and walking it pulls or pushes on that muscle wall and if it is NOT tearing it more then it is straining that muscle causing severe discomfort. so i am trying to not do too much and to wear my abdominal binder as much as possible. it holds the hernia in so that it doesnt push out on that abdominal wall. it really isnt as complicated as it probably sounds.
my stress level does not seem to be going down much, bf and dd seem to still be arguing alot and that makes me feel like a yo yo and being pulled between the two of them, most of it is over stupid stuff that i just brush off....insignificant things. and he gets after my boys over silly things too. he doesnt like how they "treat" each other with the bickering and such. he grew up basically as a only child and therefore doesnt realize that THAT is what sibling DO. whether it is right or wrong siblings torment and torture and pick on each other. if they treated each other with "respect" and such all the time i would truly be worried that something is wrong with them.....lol
i will be doing glucose test on wednesday and they are SUPPOSE to be doing a u/s as well. i hope that the doc i saw last month make a comment in my records about it, cause i am seeing another doc in the practice and if he didnt put something in my record about it then the other doc wont know to do it....lol
katebud, can not believe how close you are to delivering that sweet lil boy.
anyhow i think this is long enough. keep us all posted on how things are going. and i will be checking in and will let you know of anything new happening...lol

Hi Ladies, I also posted this in the other forum I frequent, Feb babies '09... :) so you can see it there too.
I'm currently 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant.
I've been having crazy dreams about having my baby lately. Also, been having tons of bm's the past 4 days (gross, I know). And this morning in the shower I lost part (I think it was just part) of my mucous plug. It looked like a huge snotwad. heh :P
Last night I was so stressed out at work, and then one of my "friends" decided it would be good to start some stuff with me over the phone even though I had nothing to do with what she was b*tching about and she was blaming me... and then I ended up yelling at her to get her to leave me alone, which I NEVER do with my friends (I am very anti-drama and if it's brought to me, I usually shut it down asap). :( gotta love that. I was having contractions most of the evening/night, and her phone call made them about 10x's worse.
At my appointment on Monday, the OB said my baby was engaged and my cervix was very soft and favorable. Not dialated or effaced, but getting ready for the big show. So that encouraged me, b/c just the week before she was able to bounce Daniel's head up and down, lol.
I just hope that everyone else is doing better than me. I'm very cranky and wish I wasn't... It would be nice to be in control of my actual emotions and pick and choose which ones I would like to have today (I know I can control my reactions, which is what I'm trying to do for everyone else's sake).
How many of you other ladies lost their mucous plug days/weeks before delivery? I know it can regenerate, but I'm hoping very much for my baby to come this weekend when I'm at the beginning of 38 weeks...starting to get antsy.

Joyce- Congratulations!!!
hkenny thank you.....in the pink team...lol
apparently they are gonna wait for my 1hr glucose test until next month and then i will go every 2 weeks from there.
i am trying to get the doctors to take baby 3 extra days early (at 10 days early) and they are having a hard time with that idea....something about babies having problems if born before 39 weeks via c-section. idk but it is gonna stink if my daughter has to go to summer school to do her exams because they dont want to put it for the prior weekend. i just dont know, but will have to talk to the hospital board i guess.... might be the only way, the doc i saw today said that it is the hospital who makes those decisions not so much the doctors anymore.
