Yay! Congrats! That is great news!

OMG, Martha! He is so precious! I have been looking for this update all week and was hoping you would post before Wednesday when Hannah gets here! I am so happy for you and Jay! I hope you are feeling well! Congrats!!!

Thanks, Lizz! How is your back feeling lately? Hopefully it was just temporary! Yeah, girls. I can't really beileve she's going to be here either. It's really weird, but I feel like I am in denial or something! LOL. I guess it just hasn't officially hit me yet. That and I think I might be just a tad bit sad that it is almost over. There is a good chance this will be our last baby, so I'm going to miss being pregnant (even though I complained the whole time). :-) It really has been special going through the pregnancy with you girls! Just in case I don't get the time later, I wanted to thank you for all the support and the friendship you all have given though out the last nine months! BDW really has an amazing group of women! I can't wait to see all of your babies!!

Wow...someone is just a little WACKO!

Awww...Thanks ladies! You girls are too sweet! Christine- I love Ainsleigh's costume! It's so cute! I hope she had a great 1st Halloween! Lisa- I'm been feeling pretty good actually. We've been holding off on the sex this weekend, so I really haven't been contracting much at all. I go to the doc again on Tuesday too, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that somethings going on!!

Hey Girls. I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. We have spent our weekend last minute grocery shopping, and trying to get all of the last minute stuff together. We picked up our Maternity pics and I figured I would share a few with you ladies! These were taken at 36 weeks and 4 days so almost 37 weeks. Oh yeah, the reason it looks like I have 3 belly buttons is because I had a belly button ring that I had to take out. :-)

OMG, I am completely consumed by it. I'm already planning on putting our 4th of July (Flags, ect.) decorations outside our house on Tuesday to show our pride and enthusiasm! The worst part is I am getting induced on Wednesday and I can't seem to decide what I'm most excited about! LOL... Ok, I guess I know, but still. This is going to be the best week ever!

Hi there.. First I just wanted to say Congrats!!! I was somewhat in your shoes a few months ago. My DH and I had planned our wedding for July and we found out in February that I was expecting. I had already put down deposits and had already spent a lot on my dress, so postponing really wasn't a good option for us. Plus, we wanted to be married before baby came. Have you considered moving your date up rather than later? It really is easier to travel pregnant than with a small child. I agree that traveling 3 weeks before you due date probably isn't the best idea, but why not bump the wedding up a few months? I was about 5 months pregnant when we got married, and honestly we still had so much fun! There is another girl on the board "Just Martha" that had the same thing happen to her and she got married when she was about 6 months pregnant too. She had her baby this week, but I'm sure when she gets back would be more than willing to share her experience with you as well. Good Luck with whatever decision you make! And again Congrats!!!

I totally agree with Angel. I think you have a very good case, especially since she can not prove she paid you any of the money for the dresses (for example: receipt you signed). Also, the fact that she goes into emotions and her hard times in her rebuttal is very unprofessional and shows that she is trying to make excuses. Just go to small claims. It looks like you have a solid case.

Wow....words just can not describe how wrong that is on so many levels!

Quote: Originally Posted by TA Maureen I took my glucose tolerance test this morning. I guess it wasn't as bad as some say but it was definitely pretty gross. I think it's the fact that it's on an empty stomach that makes it worse. My sister's doc told her she didn't have to fast. Mine didn't really say but I went at 7:45 in the morning and so I just didn't eat anything after dinner last night to be on the safe side. I asked the lady at the lab and she said some doctors like you to fast others don't so you just have to follow your doctor's orders. I found that interesting! I know all docs make you fast for the 3 hour test, my doc didn't tell me either way for my 1 hour. I had an early morning appt so I did fast because I didn't have time to eat. So I guess, it just depends on your doc. It probably didn't alter the results for you so I wouldn't worry, if anything it was probably more accurate. Hope the results come back good!

He wants to do a sono in 2 weeks to see how big he is. I'm just staying positive about it in hopes that my body knows what to do, and trying not to let myself freak so soon before I'm due. I still have 3 weeks for lots of things to happen. I'm pretty surprised that he is already talking c-section. If he comes at 40 weeks then he will only be 8 1/2 pounds. That's if their measurements are right. Since they can be off by a pound. Try not to worry about it, our bodies are made to have babies! Tell James it's his lucky day and start having sex!!

Lisa--How did your appointment go yesterday?

Quote: Originally Posted by LisaG I thought about having sex for like 1 second last night and even told James we should - to help soften the cervix - - then the subject was dropped. lol. we had sex a week ago Saturday and that was plenty for me...rofl. i just have no energy for it, but i guess i can suck it up and do it for Luke LOL... I know exactly how you feel. I literally told Steve to get it ready before we even started. So I didn't have to do too much work! Steve felt so used because I just wanted him for his "little swimmers"! Ha ha... Quote: Originally Posted by TA Maureen My appt. went well, nothing too exciting. I finally gained weight! I gained 2 lbs. since my last visit 4 weeks ago. It seems like it should be a lot more because my belly is really getting big. The new doctor in the practice seems really nice so it was good to meet her in case she is the one on call when I go into labor. They said I can go for my GD test either tomorrow or Thursday morning. Do I have to fast before that? My next appt. is Nov. 17th then I start going every 2 weeks. Thanks for asking how it went, Karma! Yay, for gaining weight! That is great! The drink they make you drink really isn't that bad. It's like a punch. Hopefully the results are negative! Once you start going every 2 weeks, the time will fly!

Quote: Originally Posted by LisaG That's SO exciting Karma! Wow - a 2 1/2. I want to be a 2 1/2 at my appt. today....lol! I hope Hannah holds out until the 5th for you guys. When is your mom coming in? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! If not, start having sex every night. That's what Steve and I did. It was MISERABLE for me, but it looks like it did the trick so it was worth it! If my mom can come she will come on Tuesday. It's totally last minute, so we are not sure she will be able to make it, but it would be such a huge help for us! Can't wait to here your update! Quote: Originally Posted by TA Maureen That is really exciting news, Karma! I can't wait to see pics of Hannah. Thanks, Mo! How did your appt. go today? Did you do the GD test?

Quote: Originally Posted by Bisha Karma! that is soooo exciting!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You never know, Hannah might decide to make an appearance before the 5th Thanks, that is totally what I am afraid of now though. LOL!! We are inducing for schedule reasons, since my DH owns his own business and has to be there by law. Now, my mom is thinking about flying in, too. Oh, I just noticed your Anniversary is today! Happy Anniversary!!!!

Oh NO! Poor Jay! At least you have a funny story to tell Noah about the day he was born! Happy Delivery, Day Martha! Can't wait to see pics of little Noah!

Hi Girls! I just got back from my appointment and the good news is that I am 2 1/2 cm dilated!!! So, my Dr. will go ahead and induce me next week! Hannah will be here on Wednesday, Nov 5!!!! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I'm sure it will sink in more this weekend.

Hi Girls! Lizz- I started getting lower back pain about a month ago. Some days it's worse than others. At this point everyday it's bad though. My doctor said it's normal, just make sure that the pain is not coming in intervals because it could be contractions. I would mention it to your doc for sure at your next appt. Lisa- I'm so glad that you got some good rest this weekend! I was starting to get worried about you and Luke! Can't wait for your update after your appt. tomorrow! Mo- Thanks for checking up on me. :-) Since yesterday at 5am I've been having what I think are BH that are about 13-20 minutes apart. Sometimes they stop though for a while then start up. So I'm hoping/praying they are doing something. The bad thing for me is I'm at the point is that the BH are so uncomfortable and sometimes painful that I really don't know if they are "real" contractions or BH. Now, I'm scared I won't know if labor is actually starting. :-( I guess, I will find out tomorrow if I'm dilated if they were real. Martha- I just wanted to tell you again, Good Luck tomorrow! I am so excited to see pics of Noah! Try and get some rest tonight! I know that will probably be hard!

They came out great! Good job!

You are such a natural beauty and you looked fantastic on your wedding day! Congrats again!!

I came over here looking for these after I saw your siggy pic, and all I can say is WOW! Everything turned out beautiful and you were a gorgeous bride! Congrats!

Aww, I hope you feel better soon Lisa. I totally understand how your are feeling right now. I have all summer maternity clothes so I have nothing to wear in this cool weather. Hopefully the cramps are making some progress for you though!

Yay, Martha! I am so happy that you are so close to meeting Noah. Don't worry about the C-section. Hopefully the recovery will be fast and easy.

Thanks, Lisa! Yeah, I'm feeling ok. I guess as good as I can at this point. Just a little tired and achy. Good Luck at your appointment today! Let us know how it goes when you get back!
