Hi! I don't know about castor oil, I've heard it can also get into the baby and cause that first bowel movement while he or she is still inside (merconium or whatever that is). Plus I HATE castor oil. I'm trying raspberry leaf tea, pineapples, long walks and this weekend, a little lovin' with hubby. Wish me luck! (I'd like to have the baby next Wed or Thurs if possible - yep, I'm a planner.

well, I was in l&d until about 11pm last night. I told my doc at my appt yesterday that she wasn't moving as frequently as she normally does, so he wanted me to get monitored, and can you believe as soon as they hooked me up to the monitors I started having contractions every 4 minutes. I was so excited, then they just stopped after like 3 hours. They think she weights about 7lbs 8 oz right now, and I am dilated to a 1 and starting to soften up. So hopefully within the next few days there will be a baby! and wednesday will be here before you know it! Can't wait for us to hold our babies, TTYL.

Aww I am sorry she wont induce you any earlier

But at least you know when she is coming!! I think you should be able to get out of bed. What I suggest is to lay on something that is low to the ground.. but high enough you arent straining. I slept on our couch because our bed hurt to get into because it was up high. Just take it easy.. get your oldest to help as much as you can. I would prolly tell hubby to take his week off when you come home rather than while you are in the hospital. They have nurses to help with that.

Let me know if your birthing date changes! That is exciting!

I have had a busy couple days! I went to the mall.. Sears is having a big sale.. got clothes for James and I. Then had to go return my clothes since I am fatter than I thought. I had to get jeans at Layne Bryant... but they fit me nice. I just feel chubby still. I have my doctor's appt next week for my 6 week check. Going on Birth Control and starting Weight Watchers too prolly. AND I get to have SEX!!! haha.. I haven't got to since FEB! I am dying... Then we go on Vacation the 2nd to last week in June.. so in like 2 weeks! YAY!!! Got all the info from the doctor for Maddie so we can go to the lake :)
Let me know what your doctor says!!!! I am excited for you!! I feel like I need to come to the hospital and be your birth coach, which is funny because you already have kids and know what to expect.

I am just trying to make the best use of my time off.. what lil bit I have left. I go back to work in a month. I am going to be so depressed.. I am desperate to find a work from home job different than Enterprise.. They have made changes since I went on leave.. and no one in my department wants to work anymore. They gave us twice the workload and no better hours, pay or nothing. I am frustrated. Plus they moved the office I work out of 15 miles north from where it is now.. so if I have to go into the office for anything.. its a long commute in my gas guzzling pacifica! Oh.. I am just whining.. don't mind me.

I did find a company that is like Mary Kay, cept you do wine tasting. Go to people's houses and have them taste the wine and they buy it from you.. sounds FUN! I just dont think I know enough people that I could make a living with it. I would love to do something like that full time.. and just do like wine tasting parties on the weekends and stay home with Madeline. I don't know enough people that would host a party though. Oh well... Let me know about your doctor's visit!!!!

I am not in labor :( I went to the doctor. I am having contractions they just aren't close enough together and I have not dilated any more. I am bummed!

denee85 - Thursday, 5 June
Thanks,I kinda thought that was what she meant...I hope he comes on his own without me having to get induced.....

3rdandFinal - Thursday, 5 June
let me know how the doc appt goes! Mine isn't until 4, so I have all day to look forward to hearing that nothing is happening, lol. TTYL

I can't wait to know when your baby will be here. That will be so exciting to know. Especially since it will be soon. I too have an apt tomorrow. I just want some progress. Hopefully my cervix has thinned, and maybe dialated to 2 lol. That would be something at least. I am really not sure what Dan's going to do about the baby. I want him to meet our son before he leaves and hopefully he will know what he will be missing out on by being an irresponsible guy. I still care about him. This whole deal is so hard. We really hadn't talked much for a couple days, then yesterday I had to call him to ask a quesiton and started crying and had to let him go. Its so hard, especially the timing is not good with the baby coming. But its for the best. Here comes the water works lol. Let me know what happens at your apt.

His b-day was totally unplanned. He just wanted to come then

Gees, I hate it when life gets in the way of birthing time! Just make sure you don't go TOO early. You don't want to have a baby in the NICU for any reason! That's the most important thing is keep that baby cookin for as long as it needs, you know? :) It will be fine!

I just got back from Party City, I bought little treasure boxes with locks to use as party bags. They are too cute and were only 50 cents each! Since we are having a water slide party I'm going with a pirate theme.

Nikon is a great brand for a camera. I have a Polaroid, Tim bought it for me because it's pink.

We took our pictures at JC Penney. That's funny your hubby is tired of pink. I can see that with 3 girls! Alayna's closet is full of pink! I think her room looks kind of plain in the pictures. I want to get her a little pink chair when she gets a little bigger. Maybe for her first birthday.

I love the idea of 6-7-08! I hope your doc aggrees to that date. Tell her it is the only time you will have someone to watch your children. If I can hadle 4 you will be good with 3. After 2 one more is easy. It's just rough in the beginning as always.

I'm so excited for you!!

saraha - Wednesday, 4 June
My son's birthday is 01-02-03. It is nice to have a birthday like that. No one ever forgets it! I hope it works out for you! Good luck!

momofboys - Wednesday, 4 June
Just stopping by to see how you are feeling. My guess is really ready to get your baby out. LOL! Next week, how exciting. Did you find her a little dress? It is so hot here!! I posted some pictures of Alayna's room on the nursery room page. She is such a good baby, I am so lucky! We took her one month pictures already and I think they should be ready this week, I am so excited. I am trying to get everything ready for my sons bday party this weekend. I wish you lived closer, your girls would have a great time!! I hope I get to slide on the water slide too. I am a big kid at heart.

Just bh contractions lol? I want them to be the real thing haha. I just want to make sure Kyle is taken care of. I am afraid to leave that kind of responsibility with Dan. That kind of says a lot about him right there, ya know. I will actually move to South Dakota, that is actually where I am from. My mom will be here probably Monday, and after talking to her last night, I can tell she is excited. This is her first grandbaby, and I know she wants to see me all fat lol. I am so excited for her to be here for the birth. Who doesn't want their mom there, ya know! Do you feel that way at all? Or did you at least with your first? I am excited to go home though. Wish I didn't have to stay with my parent lol, but its alright. I will get to stay home with the baby for a while at least, and not have to worry about any bills, plus I will have access to a computer lol.

I don't want to think its her fussiness that has something to do with it.. but perhaps. She has gotten alot better. I am going to talk to my doc next week at my post-partum check to see if he thinks I might have PPD. I really hope I don't but I would like to catch it early if I do.

Cloverfield is like King Kong, cept set in New York City. Its filmed like a documentary.. Its a strange movie.

I think I am going to get James a new card holder. He doesn't like to carry wallets so he uses a card holder for his Credit cards and buisness cards. His is all scratched and dented since I got it like 3 years ago for him. So I think I am going to go to Things Remembered and have one engraved for him from Madeline. Its not expensive, and we don't have much money.. so it will be something he will like I do hope! He got me a hanging basket of Impatients for mother's day.. which I killed because I don't have that great of a green thumb haha.

I don't think Madalynn will be bigger than Maddie.. I hope not.. lol Maddie is 9lbs now. She was only 6.15born. The formula from Sams is working out well... its cheap and she seems to taken to it well. She was constipated.. now she has what I have been calling "big girl poops" they arent nasty creamy anymore lol They are solid like a 3+ month baby! Its weird.. but I will take it over the messy explosions.. HAHA

I think it might also be because I am giving her a teaspoon of rice cereal at night in her bottle before bed.. it holds her over longer so I get some more sleep.

poprocksncoke - Tuesday, 3 June
They are going to get us a camcorder.. we have to pick it out first. I think she is more a daddies girl. I was just talking to a friend.. telling her I dont feel that "bond" with her.. and that makes me so sad. I am sure it will come sometime.. but its hard right now.
What did we have for dinner.. healthy chicken nuggets and corn. WOO.. haha it was a bad day so I made something quick for us to eat. If I had my way.. I wanted chicken alfredo with garlic bread and salad.. but I couldnt be bothered to do all that. haha
I havent seen any movies in the theater since that national treasure 2. We did buy Cloverfield. that was an interesting movie lol DEF not for the kids.

KariLynn - Tuesday, 3 June
Well things are going well with Dan's son. And I am actually moving back home because of Dan. Despite the picture, we are actually not married. He is just my bf. But he is irresponsible, and disrespectful twards me and I have had enough!!!! I have given him chance after chance after chance. And so I decided the best thing for the baby is going to be moving back home. It will be so much easier with my family close. They are all 900 miles away right now. And I can't raise this baby on my own. Its all for the best. Its all for my baby. I will have access to a computer lol. I really enjoy that idea lol. No more only getting online while working. Dan's son is still at our house, so I have to figure out a way to get him back to Indiana. It would be easier if he went back before the baby came, but of course is welcome until I have to leave my apt. With him there though it makes kicking Dan out all that much harder. I didn't sleep at all last night. I am soooo tired today. I am pretty sure I was having contractions earlier, so I hope thats a good sign. I wish I had something to compare them to, but my stomach and back were hurting and felt real tight. They say you can't breath through contractions, and I could, but had to sit down. Hopefully it will help with the cervix at least. Sorry for the rambling lol. Have you had any contractions yet? A coworker was telling me that his sister in law is due July 7th and is up at the hospital right now having her baby. I got kind of upset lol.
