Hellobee Boards

@daniellemybelle: Woohoo! I think you'll find ways to stay busy at first. I've been off since Tuesday and have found that I have a lot of last minute things I want/need to do, plus, you get to REST! I'm taking a nap or quiet hour every day just because I can. As for the cervical checks, I'm anxious to see where I stand too. I hope you have a great weekend!

@Sadieloo: They seem clingier these days, but I'm not sure if it's because they sense change or what.

@MrsMed: Congratulations! Hope all is well and you are enjoying snuggles with your new bundle of joy!

@kjpugs: I love that you have Abe in the nursery. Statement piece! And yay for the baby shower, sounds like a fun time.

@evansjamie: Lookin good mama! Cute top.

@Jennimac: Me too! I'm so excited to meet more of our babies!

@MapleMoose: FX that she comes on her own!

@daniellemybelle: I would ask if I were you! Yes it's uncomfortable, but over quickly. I am ENDLESSLY glad that I did mine- the good things I found out were really motivating to me (baby's head being RIGHT THERE, and even the tiny bit of progress). PLUS, more importantly, I would never have known about my flat pelvic bone if it wasn't for being checked. And if I found out about it during labor I'd probably be limited in what I could do about it that late in the game. So to me it was worth being checked.

And congrats on being done with work!!! SO EXCITING! I'm jealous- although working from home I really am probbbbably not as hard working right now (and less showering too!)

Hi Ladies,

I've visited this board over the last 9 months here and there but have been so crazy with work I haven't participated much. I'm about to go on leave and finally feel like I can totally focus on baby now.

I updated my status on the board here. It’s hard to believe October is already here.

Good luck to all of you as you near your due date and for those of you who are past! Can’t wait to see pictures of all your soon-to-be-born babies!

Yesterday was my last day at my job. I feels good to be done with all the stress. DH works for the same company. They threw us a little baby shower! Very unexpected! And tons of people chipped in to get us an Amazon GC. I added it to my account and have had to restrain myself from just buying a ton of crap off of my registry. We've got the essentials already, so I should wait. I imagine that I diapers would be the best thing to use the money on, but I'm sure a few cute nonessentials will sneak in there.

I've been feeling halfway decent this week until I woke up this morning. Does anyone else have trouble breathing? I feel like I have a head cold or an elephant sitting on my chest? The doc says it's nothing to worry about, but I'm definitely feeling crappy today. Guess it's probably just another uncomfortable symptom this far down the line...

@TFrances: Teeheehee I splurged on some Aden + Anais swaddle blankets with part of an Amazon gift card. Now that I have them I'm happy I did because they are so soft and big.

Has anyone found any relief from lightning crotch? The last few nights its been horrible, especially mixed with the pelvic pressure.

@evansjamie: oh good idea! I will be buying one tomorrow!

I am one day past my due date and already people are asking me if I'm still waiting on baby. Generally, I am a nice person, but for the love of all that is holy, I could cut everyone who is asking me this question. I just want to say, "No, I'm keeping you waiting for shits and giggles. Because Ic an control when this baby comes. "

Sorry for the cursing, I am just super aggravated. I'm going to be a super fun person to be around these next 13 days.

@Mrs. Yoyo: I'm posting that on Facebook. I told her (my cousin) that we won't be inducing until Oct. 18 unless medically indicated that she needs to come sooner.

@kjpugs: LOL @ the visual!

@ladybee: I get that periodically but I didn't know there was a name for it. (hehe) Agree with @evansjamie: about bouncing on the yoga ball.

@Sadieloo: Congratulations mama!!

@Sadieloo: congrats!!!!!!!

@MapleMoose: @ladybee: @Jennimac: @kjpugs: thank you! Here's a pic of our little monkey.

@Sadieloo: Comgratulations!!!

@Sadieloo: he is so perfect and precious! I am loving these little baby pictures!!!!!!!

While at Target today, my DH found this guy and thought he was a must have for little mans nursery (remember the theme is whales, sailboats, etc). He has named his Squidward.

AFM... weekend update, urg. Last week on his day off DH decided to put together almost everything. I looked at our bouncer and it didn't look right to me. I shared a pic with a friend who has it and said it was definitely not right. I spent an hour crying trying to figure out what was wrong. Turns out DH had switched the L and R connector pieces. I was feeling pretty frustrated!!!! Don't worry though I was eating Reese's PB chips the entire time to make myself feel better, HAHA! I also put together our floor tiles (I like having the little area of our living room set up for baby now!) and set them out, as well as vacuumed and swept- it's my weekly "chore" but I haven't done it in a few weeks because it wears me out so much. Now I'm waiting on pizza!

Does anyone else feel like their hunger has it's own hunger now? I am just completely famished ALWAYS!!!!

Tonight's my last big outing before baby arrives: book club dinner. Really looking forward to it and eating some pie!

On a crazy note: DH just told me that the acquiring company plans on sending the PMs to Europe and other offices for orientation and training. He doesn't know when exactly, but it will probably be in November. That means I will be a single mom for a few weeks with a tiny new baby. Oh my! I'm hoping that it can wait until closer to Thanksgiving, but who know...

@evansjamie: yay! That's how mine started :). Keep us posted!
