We can't paint the baby's room pink... it's all knotty pine on the walls. The room is decorated gender neutral.

Gender neutral is smart.  Joey was supposed to be a girl up until the ultrasound they did while I was in labor............oops!!  But I had him in Germany so there is no telling what they thought they were looking for:)  And by the way his 5th birthday is tomorrow...the get old quick so make sure you pay attention:)

So you'll have a 5 and 6 year old?  Damn!

Happy Birthday Joey!!

Well if Isabella does turn out to be a boy after all his name will be Isaac Joshua. Although after numerous ultrasounds w/ different techs they all came out with the same gender and we were able to see "her" ourselves the time before last.

And I probably should get you our contact info....just in case....cause I don't think we're 6 blocks away.  And until he finds employment, Dad is home all day ;).

your shooting for Sept 29th DD? hmmm, anytime in September ROCKS! I love this month! Sarah was born Sept 30 at 10:10 -I was beginning to panic because I did NOT want an October child!

 

Here is powerball... 46, 15...26...25...13  PB 28

someone has to have those, they look pretty typical

Me2 - Sept 29 is my actual due date, or at least the one that the doctors decided on anyways. LOL I'm hoping and wishing for something either late this coming week (Sept 8 would work!!) or the following week (Sept 15!). I hope I don't have to suffer through until the 29th. ugh! ESD however is hoping for the last week of September, but then again he doesn't have to carry her or have huge ankles either....

Hey, Dont be begging for her to be born too soon-believe me...you can wait! Don't beg for that PAIN to come early!!!! LABOR SUCKS! I know this sounds crazy but TRY to enjoy the jabs to your ribs and pushing on your bladder.

yeah, but it's the constant pain in my back that I can live without right now.... as I down more vicadin and dig out another ice pack. ouch! I did way tooo much standing and walking yesterday.

6th of october, because that's when they'll induce

As long as we're guessing, I'll guess 9/30 will be the day they induce if they need to because they won't be able to risk Belle growing any more than she already has.

hey no fair, honey. you decided on oct 6th last nite.

Digger Dawg

ya ya that's it TC keep moving your date up! =)

Well, blood work is back from my dr visit yesterday and i'm now on a form of bed rest. I can get up for bathroom breaks, to let my dogs out and to get a snack every couple of hours but beyond that i'm suppose to be laying down on my left side and I can sit up for a limited amount of time each day with feet elevated. Soo... unfortunately I won't be able to post as much on here for a while unless things change with my next appt. I'm really gonna go crazy without my contact with the outside world. UGH!

ESD does a lot around here to help, but he can't be here 24/7 unfortunately to wait on me... so it's during those times that i''m on my own for food and taking care of our furry kids.

Yeah... just wait Kitch, i'll be back to JOE hunting in no time. Until then the Joe's are yours for the hunting..

I had one of those non-stress tests done today... the one that monitors baby's heartbeat, movements and also tells if you are having contractions or not. Well during my time being hooked up to the machine it recorded a "real" contraction, not one of those false braxton hicks things. Anywho - things are finally starting to progress, although slowly. My doula is coming over tomorrow to show me some exercises to help move things along. WooHoo!

I'd forgotten about that Kitch.  I always had an urge to clean the house really good right before I went into labor.

I thought my wife went nuts the first time she cleaned it like that....

Digger Dawg

I've had short little bursts of energy the last couple of days, but nothing real wild and crazy yet. I'm actually thinking that this "flu" might actually be strep. If my throat is still this sore in the morning i'm going to see when I can get in tomorrow (Sunday) for a throat culture. ugh!

Oh, and i've also started having "real" contractions... so far averaging about 2 a day, nothing to get too excited over yet.

well, the board hasn't heard from these 2 in 2 days!!! and 2 contractions a day IS a big deal!!!!! hmmmmmm, I change my date to:




 September 17 - a girl ;p - 1:17 pm -19 1/2 inches long

actually I wouldn't put it past the 15th but I like the 17th :) --- I wouldn't be surprised if they were at the hospital RIGHT NOW! 2 a day goes to every 5 minutes QUICK! goodluck you 2!!!

Have you guys compiled guess list yet?

Mon, 09/13/2004 - 10:49 PM Permalink
Digger Dawg

nope - not yet... i'll try to work on that guess list today.

I'm still personally hoping for a Sept 15 delivery.... that's my dad's birthday. We've got a baby doc appt at 9am this morning so will have more news after that.

Digger Dawg --I wouldn't be hoping for the 15th......I'd be hoping until after you kick that cold!!!

Tue, 09/14/2004 - 6:11 AM Permalink
Digger Dawg

The baby pool is officially closed for any new guesses. I'M IN LABOR!!! I'm at a 3-4 dilation and 80% effaced... and since returning home from the clinic an hour ago i've had 3 good contractions and started having some back ache discomfort as well. Doc also said she is really really low.

I know I wish this stupid cold would go away like right now so I could breathe normal!!
