Dropping in... 13 days left till my due date! Any day now!

Modkittn, your daughter is adorable! I'm so excited to greet our baby!

They say the U/S due dates can be off two weeks in either direction, and mine was so close to the date I calculated for myself I don't feel bad about not changing my ticker!

I'm now getting to enjoy one of the many "perks" of pregnancy----constipation! I went through this with Jake, as well. Time to break out the old stool softeners!

Ugh. I don't know if it's because I'm two years older or because I have a 16-month-old toddler, but I am completely fatiqued with this pregnancy. There's nothing I'd love to do more than shut my office door, turn off the light and crash in my floor!

On top of already being tired, DH told me last night that his work is requiring him be there at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. starting Thursday and lasting who-knows-how-long. So now I'm going to have to start getting up before 6 a.m. so I can have my shower out of the way and be "ready to go" when Jake wakes up. One of my small blessings has been being able to sleep an extra hour because Stewart spends that time with Jake in the mornings.

Sigh. Makes me *more* tired just thinking about it.

I've been super tired this time around too. I've got an almost 2.5 year old and I have a feeling that has at least *something* to do with it. Though when I was pg last time I was working in a daycare with a classroom full of 1 year olds

Husband told work he was hired to work 8-5 and he couldn't change because his pregnant wife needs help with the baby. They actually told him OK. Go figure! Works for me, though--I just hope they don't get sick of his diva butt.

Hope everyone is doing OK. I'm still beat.

Hope all is well with the pregnant women and new mothers!!

My DH was admitted to the hospital this morning b/c of chronic staph. They've been giving him progressively stronger antibiotics and finally decided to start him on an I.V. drip. He'll probably be in there for at least 3 days, maybe longer, because he has an active sore on his abdomen that they want to clear up.

Sigh.

What a cutie patootie you have there, Modkitten!! I love the dress, it's adorable. Isn't it just so sad when they outgrow their newborn clothes?

How's your new family doing?

I know what you mean. I count it a good day if I get to shower AND brush my teeth! It's getting easier, though, as he gets older. We're getting into more of a routine and so things get done a lot better than they did his first few months. Hang in there. IMO, it gets easier.

Oh and she was only in newborns for 2 weeks! She had her 4 week well visit today. She is 10lbs 9 oz and 21 3/8 inches long. She has gained 2lbs 1oz and grown 5/8 of an inch since born. They grow too fast!

Tell me about it! Caleb is almost 7 months old... I can't believe how fast it's gone. He's trying to crawl (currently skooching backwards) and is eating all kinds of different things now. It's just amazing how fast they grow up. Now I understand why people look at their teenagers and say things like "just yesterday he was a sweet sleeping infant." Enjoy it all!
