I don't have any more ultrasounds scheduled to check weight, so only time will tell! Yes we are both getting so close now, it feels very surreal. Sometimes I look at the baby's crib and it is so hard to imagine him there, he has been in my belly for so long you know. I wonder how my dogs will react, I wonder if I will be able to breastfeed because I hear it's hard but I want to try. I also heard it is good for people with gestational daibetes to breastfeed. I am willing to try but if I can't I won't be upset I was a bottle fed baby and 90% of people I knwo use bottles and formula, I just want to be able to say I tried it. What do you want to do?

Hey I went to the doctor today and got some good news, yay! The baby was measuring 6.5 pounds as of last Thursday which is pretty good. My stress test today went good, he does really well with the contractions. I get off bedrest MONDAY!!! I was expecting Tuesday, so I am so excited! ANd if I don't go into labor on my own I am being induced March 13. So only 2 more weeks at the most for me, wow! I was just very happy to get good news this time around! Hope you are doing good today.

I am going to go down to Babies R Us to look at there Cribs. Its about a hour away but I found out my brother in law will buy me which ever crib I want so I thought I would go find Erin a luxury bed. :) Nothing outrageous but a solid piece of wood. I am glad you were encouraged by what I wrote you. I know how tough this time is. I have done alot to avoid fighting with hubby but I get into it with my teens often. I have to remind myself I know I am pregnant and have alot of emotions. They are just reacting to my attitude. I just tell my Hubby I'm sorry I know you can not help me and you feel helpless, its okay I know you can not help just be here for me. Thats usally all it takes. He still gets frustrated with me but I just talk to him and try to be stable for even a second. (I know we aren't balanced but I fake it HAHA)

I also am just goign to keep my eye on the calendar and wait for my big day. Its so freaking close...just have to be patient! Its not that long--LOL

Well you have a great day and I will talk when I get home later. Peace to you my friend...

Oh my gosh, your baby has grown! How much did she grow since last time? Wow, I wish you the best of luck with everything. I find out tomorrow how big my little guy is, hopefully he is still a little guy.

WHAT 2 WEEKS????
You should be in once a week now. I see the doctor every Thursday until D day.

I think the best advice I can give you right now is to ACCEPT it you are waiting til the induction day- just like I need to as well. If we start on our own before that date then BONUS! I am not focusing on all the pain I am feeling right now. It hurts pretty bad rigth now but if I sit her and focus on it or the weight I will just get myself so upset. Is the weather nice enough to at least get outside and sit in a chair? I think if I could have a bit of sunshine right now I would be doing so much better. I enjoyed the sun last week and felt a bit alive. I am really feeling the dragging burned out feeling as well as you are. I can only focus on the 13th of March this process starting. Do you realize how insane we are that we are wishing the worse pain we will ever feel on ourselves???!!! Its Gods plan - (but I never ate that dam apple!!!! ) that we would get so tired of being invaded by our babies that we would accept the pain just to get relief. Just imagine years and years ago they did not have the technology they have today. Pain meds, inductions, c sections...etc... Can you imagine 50 years a go when you just had to be pregnant until your body decided to go into labor. In my case with my 2nd I gave birth to a 10 + baby at 15 days over being induced- he was not wanting to come out...so if nature took its course he could have been 15 pounds. Triple OUCH! So I am going to focus on the positive things like I don't have to have a 15 pounder and I don't have to wait til she decided to come out. I don't have to have the ol' school medicine. I GET AN EPIDURAL! Yes!!! We can do this. We are so close to the finish line! We just need to stare ahead at that finish line. We can see it just ahead...see it?! We will be fine hunny. My sil is not even 5 feet, she is incredibly small boned and gave birth to 3 children vaginally all around 8lb. SO you will be able to get her out of you. The doctor would not let you try if they didn't think it would work. Okay coaching session over...now I need to self talk myself. Try to have a quiet evening with your hubby. Don't forget he feels really helpless right now. He loves you and does not know how to help you. Men react so differetnly to the situation then we would. They need to know its okay they can't fix us and we just have to wait it out. Let him know you love him and you are sorry it been tough on him as well. :) works wonders! Talk soon...

Hey I read your post in 36 weeks, is it today (Tuesday) you are going to the doctor? Let me know how it goes, crazy to think it will all be over soon. My bedrest is going pretty well. I only have one more week of bedrest, then I am free.. untill I have the baby of course! But I have a full day of taking my dog to the groomer, getting my own hair cut (which by the way I was supposed to have done in December!) and just run a couple other errands. So needless to say I hope I make it another week. Sunday I had a very rough day, I woke up very achy and was having contractions every 15 minutes. I also starting getting really nauseaus (spelling?) and even my mom thought that I was gonna have this baby! But I woke up Monday feeling 100% better, and today I am still doing good. Weird. Well I hope you are hanging in there, I know you have a lot on your plate. Let me know how you are doing, take care.

my pregnancy has beeen exremly well!! and still is expect im getting alot of back pain if my back isnt getting any support!! my back feels like 10000 pounds when i sit up for long periods of times.

startingoverat37 - Tuesday, 26 Feb
Well Erin is already 6 1/4 pounds according to the U/S today. She may be a big girl if she gains a pound a week...scary!

I am disappointed that the labor and bleeding stopped but I can't do anything about it. I am ready to give birth! I AM SO READY!
Hopefully I will get moving along on my own without being induced. But if I am induced its still only 18 more days. You are sooner than me. I am going to beg the doctor when I see him on Thursday if I do not go in again before than to induce at 37 weeks. I can not bear this day in day out contracting and not dialating at all. The U/S tech said my cervix was still 4 cm long and closed. So so much for the thought that I was dialating. All this crap for NOTHING!!! How was your day? Sounds like your body might be preparing as well...though I don't think my body is doing anything (progressing) at all. Good night!

07babe - Monday, 25 Feb
hey hows ur pregnancy going?

startingoverat37 - Monday, 25 Feb
Contractions stopped being consistent at 4am. Still having them but I do not think they are consistent. I am to frustrated so I am ignorning the pain. I figure when I can't breath through them, well then I know I am getting somewhere. Catch you soon. Watch you went into labor and I am not one left to fend for myself. Hope all is good.

Hi. I read a blog that you posted on the SPD site and I have this pain as severe as you do!! I keep thinking I am the only person who is going through this but obviously not. I can barely walk at times and I have pain all day every day. I had this with my first but nothing to this extreme. I am already on moderate bed rest and had to stop working at 6months. I am having a scheduled C-section a week earlier than my due date. I am currently 33 weeks and can't wait until I hit that 39th week! Just wanted to talk to someone else that understood what I was going through. My husband doesn't exactly understand and he is starting to feel the wrath of my hormones on top of it all. I hope you are doing ok and I would love to hear about you and your pregnancy. Hope to talk to you soon.

Yeah bedrest is not too fun! Especially right now, it is Saturday night and my hubby is out to dinner celebrating his parents 50th anniversary. I can not tell you how bad I wanted to go! His super funny brother from out of state flew in, the whole family is going together and I feel left out. My hubby and I were just married in November and I love his family to death, and they love me too. But I feel isolated now. So anyways they went to the Melting Pot restaraunt, which is a rally nice restaraunt I have never been too before and I was so wanting to go becasue this had been planned for a couple months now. My hubby is so sweet, he has only left my side for work and if I need him to run an errand. So tonight it is just me and my 2 dogs, which is usually just fine during the day becasue hubby is at work, but I have not been alone at night in forever!!! I mean FOREVER. Ok so I am obvoiusly watching the clock, he is about an hours drive away so that doesn't help. Ok changing the subject... I am so afraid of physically having this baby! Everything scares me, I am afraid of maybe having to have a c-section. Episiotomy - nothing about that sounds appealing. Then all the pain and physical strain of natural childbirth. I am so afraid to get an epidural, if I can go without I will not get one. I just wonder if my heart rate will go too high, how the baby will respond to labor, the thoughts go on and on. And some days all that is on TV is the Baby Story, or Bringing Home Baby, so watching those shows give you so many more scary things to think about. But... us women have been doing this for ever, and for a reason. We can handle it. And my mom has had 5 kids, all natural not even an epidural. I just think about her, becasue we are so smiliar. We are the same height, weight, and pretty much the same physical well being. She did it, so I have to tell myself I can do it too. I honestly can't wait to have it over, my mom said once you are in full on labor you don't think about anything scary, you are just focused on getting the baby out. And whatever it takes, I know at that moment I will do, be it c-section, epidural, whatever. Ok I know I just wrote a book! But girl we can do it! I just have to keep giving myslef pep talks!!! I hope you are hanging in there too, we really are in the home stretch now. Keep in touch.

Aw thanks for your comment on my twin-belly photo!!! Yup, we know what we're having; a boy and a girl! Can't believe how close it's getting! It's mental how fast the last few weeks have been going! You have even less time to wait! How are you feeling now?

LilyStar62008 - Saturday, 23 Feb

Thanks for posting on my page! It does feel really great to know that I am not the only one who is totally overwhelmed with how much there is to do before the baby comes. Good luck!!

This is a general message to everyone who left a comment on my VIP page: I thought I would let you know that I have just posted a very detailed birth story on my VIP page. You can read it under 'olga83's children' in the top menu on my page. Good luck :) P.S. Thank you for your comment and congratulations :) I am sorry I cannot reply to everyone because with the new baby in the house I really have no time to log in long enough to reply to everyone :) Please let me know when you give birth by sending me private message. I would love to hear your story and see the pictures!!!
