I hope you are all doing well today. We had a great mini-vacation over the holiday weekend in the NC mountains. It's really beautiful there. I'm feeling good these days. No more troubles since the kidney stone.
Ellen Kate continues to grow rapidly these days. My tummy girth measurement grew by 1.5 inches this week alone! I'm starting to feel VERY pregnant instead of just pregnant... so the reality that she will be here soon is starting to sink in.

Judy! Congrats.. That is so awesome.. They always do that.It is so funny how they do the trickery. How is the ttc going? I wish you guys the best. We talk about all our options..I think we will try to get to endometrios(sp??) scraped out but who knows. that seems a little scary. I am hoping it won't be as harsh as it sounds.
Jo! How's Jace? Did he sleep at all this weekend?
Veronica! how is your chinese med dr going?
Bonnie! Hey lady how is the little missus doing? any news on the stones?
Well I hope you all are doing fantastic! Still in San francisco. until sat.! feeling alittle home sick..

Hi all Joey took his first steps on the 29th his big brother's 21 birthday!! He was outside and he hasn't done it since so we're going to take him outside today and work with him.
Hope you all have a great holiday -- tomorrow Joey turns 10 months. Take Care

Bonnie when are you due? (beginning of Nov?) I'm glad you're feeling better.
Jo, yes, we've been doing the usual but because of the cyst I'm sure it's more painful it is really swollen and purple today and I can see a little white and I'm assuming it is the tooth. He's sleeping at the moment and I hope he does all night.

Jo, It might not be as long as you think... Ellen Kate turned head-down last week... and I'm just 30 weeks now... Before that she had been doing those side to side kicks you've been talking about. They are no fun. Also- about the lemons, my doc suggested I have lemon in my water and drink lots of it...
Judy, Wow! That's great. I guess DH convinced you that Joey needs a playmate? Baby Dust to you girl...

Oh thats right, Joey shares the same birthday as my oldest son. How could I forget that? I am not due til Nov. 27th which is also thanksgiving this year so I am hoping he will come early. I guess I have a long way to go before he gets into position if my sides weren't so ticklish I wouldn't complain as much but it wakes me from the deepest sleep and he is a night owl. Congrats on TTC again. This will be my last and I am getting a TL too. I got PG with my two boys on b/c and I don't want to risk it. I don't want to try mirena or anything like that because I would have to go back later to have it removed and I am sure that I am done this time. Poor joey, I am sorry he is having such pain, have you tried frozen fruit in one of those little mesh bag pacifiers or popsicles. I am sure he is just so uncomfortable. who am I kidding your the mom of all moms you probably tried everything.

Jo- I can't remember when Joey moved into position, but I know he was there when I was having in the hospital 3 weeks before he was born. When are you due again? Joey will be 1 on 11/2. He'll be 10 months soon. My oldest will be 21 tomorrow!!! So hard to believe for both. Well here's a secret you'll be happy to be let in on. I'm beginning to TTC again so far my cycle is still mess up from the BC pills, but I think it is beginning to get regulated. We are going to begin trying in Jan. and what ever happens - happens. Then I am going to get another TL since I can't deal with the BC. Joey is in lots of tooth pain today I hope these 2 come through tonight. Gotta run Judy
Bonnie, i am glad you are feeling better. I eat a lot of lemons (not enough to ruin my teeth) but it is said to help prevent stones because of the acid in the lemons.
Reba-roni, pepperoni how are you? You know I couldn't resist. I am gonna pray that AF doesn't show for you. Am I gonna have this baby before we get together again?
Judy, sounds like Joey is quite a mover. When will he turn 1? Jace is still laying cross-ways across the top of my abdomen and just goes crazy in there, keeps me up all night. It feels like someone is poking at my sides.
Anybody know when they move down into position? he would have so much more room that way.
V, I am always praying for you girl. The rain was a nice break while it lasted. Are you still seeing the acupuncturist? What the next step?

Hi all. Thanks for the kind words, ladies. I am feeling so much better now - it's like night and day difference! I had my check-up yesterday and was released from the modified bed rest! yay! They did say that I'm measuring 32 weeks although I'm not quite 30 wks yet, so they may want to get another ultrasound around 34-35 weeks to keep a check her size.
Jo- I'm sure you are still a glowing beauty! Try to remember that the pregnancy and mommy bodies are beautiful too! (I know some days that's easier said than done..)
Veronica- Glad to hear you're ready to face another month. Hugs to you sweetie. I'm still holding faith for you that your elusive BFP awaits.
Reba-Roni Enjoy that wonderful weather and the newlywed bliss! Glad things are going well.
Judy- we love living vicariously through you and Joey! I'm sure he'll learn how to walk soon and you'll be wishing he hadn't when he's even more into everything! Enjoy his crawling days.
I think we are going to sneak away this weekend to enjoy a mini-vacation over Labor Day. We're trying to figure out where we want to go on the last minute plans...

Oh no!Bonnie..I hope you are feeling better. a friend of mine had alot of them and she was seriously not okay. she was in and out of the hospital for 2 weeks..I can't imagine being pregnant.bless your heart.
I love being married. Life seems no different but now everyone calls me reba aronne.. said really fast it sounds like rebaroni..funny huh..
V! today is cd 17. i suspect i will still get af . i have done nothing to clear the blocking of the tube so nothing eventful.
The job in sf is super busy but the days are so beautiful at 65-70. sunny and breezy of course i wore a jacket the first 3 days until my body started to get used to the weather.
We are off from fri to monday. so that will be nice to just walk and shop around the city. I do love it here..
well jo i hope you find that sunny disposition.your peanut will be here soon. see you guys soon. reba

Bonnie I hope you're feeling better. Did they do a US on your kidneys? They did one me when I was having problems. I'm glad baby Ellen Kate is doing well. Hopefully the rest of your PG will be uneventful.
Jo I hope your spirits look up soon. Some guys can't deal with PG figures and for others it's a real turn on then afterwards it seems like the aren't attracted to you thin again (I've had to deal with that aspect and I haven't been able to lose all of my PG weight) Remember how active Joey was? He's a mover now, but for the most part he's a really calm kid. A 4D US sounds really cool we wanted to do it for Joey but nothing is available near where we live.
V I hope you're feeling a bit more content about your situation. God sure does make us wonder what his plans are for us. It sure seems like at times he could just answer the prayers most asked. I know it's so flustrating at times.
Reba So how's married life?
Joey has really been getting into everything lately -- DH safety locked all the cabinets. The inconviences of babies -- haha. Joey's figuring out how to play with his toys and is so excited when he does something new. I wish he'd figure out how to walk!! DH found some slides of him as a chile and we put them in the computer and did some pretty neat comparisons and Joey looks almost like his daddy when he was young except he has my eyes.
I hope every one has a good afternoon Take Care Judy
