Is she wanting to wear a full blown white suit or is just white capris and the jacket a different color? My mom wore white capris and I never thought anything of it. I don't think she stole my thunder in any way. I would say a white suit would be different though.

So I was stalking my registery the other day (I know, I know, I'm not suppose to do that), BUT I was! And I saw that the cutest little froggy robe was bought and I was too freakin excited and even showed James that someone bought it and I couldn't wait to wrap little Luke up in it. Anyways, I got a package yesterday and totally wasn't expecting anything cause I haven't ordered anything online lately. I open it and it's the cute little froggy robe with the adorable slippers!! I was jumping up and down and so excited as this was my first gift I've gotten in the mail. I read who it was from and what do you know - - It was from our very own JaimeLynn. I almost cried. I know I'm so emotional these days due to hormones. But it was so unexpected and so very nice and thoughtful of you Jaime. You are just so sweet!! James was like cool, who is that from. I said my friend Jamie on the forum and he had a weird look on his face, like you really do have friends on that thing. I didn't take a pic cause it looks exactly the same online Thanks again Jaime! You are so sweet!!

I know exactly what you're talking about Martha. I never in a million years thought I would have a baby shower. It was so weird registering for things that were actually going to be mine. I'm also having my family shower on the 20th. I can't wait! Thanks Mo! It's so strange knowing I'm so close and how our life is about to completely be turned upside down!! I registered Luke for daycare on Tuesday. I'm so nervous. They don't have an opening until March 4th - which is great because I go back to work around February, so my mom is going to keep him for about a month or so. He will be about 4 months when he starts daycare. He's going to have 9 other kids in his class with 3 teachers. I'm going to pop in on them alot between now and then just to check things out.

That sucks Mo!! Hopefully you will be done with your IV soon. Martha - I keep thinking I might go early too. Something inside just tells me this boy is huge as well and that he might not wait til the end. I go back to the doc on the 9th and am going to see if they will schedule a sono so we can check him out.

Oh mine is too. I have pains in it. James and I were shopping the other day and I told him I was having pains in my monkey...haha...and he was like...I didn't need to know that. I was like, yes you did!!

Yah - that's so exciting that our babies are all down in the "position"!! So my back aches have started. Started Monday during the day and hasn't went away yet. It's low on my hip area on my left side and it sucks. I layed on a heating pad for a few hours last night and today and bought some of those stick on heat things. I guess once you get back pain - - it doesn't go away until after delivery. Perfect!! I also have va-jay-jay pressure. That's really nice too!

Really Karma......do you have any pics of the 3D ultrasound you want to share I was wondering if Luke was head down yet. I never got the low kicks - only in the middle and up top alot lately, like right in my ribs and under my boobs.

My guy charges me $95 for a cut and highlight and I always give him $135. Not sure where I came up with that $$. He actually went up on his prices to $115 - but didn't raise me cause I've gone to him forever. I guess that's when I upped it to $135. Either way, I think 20% is good.

That's great Laura! I know they can hear it. I talk to Luke all the time and he definitely responds when I'm talking to him - with crazy movements.

Sometimes he moves, sometimes he doesn't. Thing is, I really don't know which way he is positioned. I think by now he is breech and not sideways anymore, but I can never tell! I don't really play music specifically for Luke. But we do play alot of music at home while we are doing things around the house, instead of watching t.v. I can't tell which way Luke is either. It's a little frustrating at times because I don't know "what" is sticking or poking me. I can't even tell where the head is

Thanks girls! And yes, I have a love handle from hell....lol!! Karma - our (well I should say MY) goal is to finish the room by the end of the month as well. Or should I say by my first shower which is on 9/13. James is still not motivated though and I'm tired of arguing with him about it....argh!

I just got my computer back this weekend, and was able to download pics from our girls night. I'm pretty sure these are the same pics as Jaime posted, but I thought I'd share anyways since I already downloaded. And has Rachelle posted hers yet??

I know I'm late posting this, but I wanted to give you girls an updated bump pic. Here's 28 weeks! Take note of the out-of-control left love handle!!

Wow Karma - everything is coming along great!! I can't wait to see the finished product!! Congrats Laura - that is so exciting!! Have you told Rayden yet?

Argh...I know exactly what you mean. James has the same "tone" with me at times. I blame it on him being the "boss" at work and he brings it home with him. I hate it! I always tell him that he's not at work and he needs to leave his bossyness (if that's a word..lol)and ugly talk there.

I've heard lots of movement is nothing to worry about too. I've noticed Luke is also getting alot stronger and alot more active. I can see him beating my stomach all the time!! Especially at night when it's time to go to sleep. He's sooooo not ready to sleep then.

Have no clue where I'm going to hang them, but we'll figure it out.

Have a great time Alyssa. I know everything will be perfect!!

Well crap! I still can't make a collage. Loving the siggy's ladies!

This sounds so interesting. I can't wait to see how much you girls save. I clipped coupons last week for the first time in forever and saved $9! I was so excited!!

Mo - I hope you can have the IV removed soon. Why do you keep getting dehydrated? Do you just not feel like drinking anything? I would be sure to start drowning yourself with water everyday so you can get it out asap! Karma - I can't wait to see the Hannah's room!! I would have been so excited too for the furniture to be here a few weeks early!

OMG that is hillarious!! That was very nice of his work to throw a man shower!

Lizz - yah for great results!! Just thought I'd check in. I've been off for a few days. We had to go to San Antonio for James' papa's funeral. That was a nice 5 hour drive at 7 months pregnant. Nice! Needless to say, it's been a long week. Try telling the 5 other people in the car that you have to stop every hour to pee Other than that everything is still going good. I bra shopped for an hour and a half yesterday trying to find something half way comfortable for my ever growing boobs! These things are getting HUGE!! I took my 28 week pics yesterday. I won't be able to post for a few days since my home computer is being fixed right now. I should have it back by the weekend. Hope everyone else is feeling good!!
