Gale- you right on that one, I did it so that if there is something there i could be prepared and my family (grandparents ect) would be prepared, not to terminate. I remember when my daughter was born and the room got all quiet because she was not breathing well. It shocked us all to see her go to the NICU..and knowing that I could have had a amno done that would have told us her lungs were not ready (I had a planned C-section) was even harder to deal with.
..so your right, I think its good to know just so you aren't blind sided..

I did have and amno done; they are not bad at all, they numb the area so you don't feel the needle but i had it towards the very end, i had to have fluid removed..but I was scared trust me...I have learned: Never say never to anything cuz you don't know what you might have to do for your baby!

However whatever the test comes back with, if i still can get a read, I'm all good. I have to have a stage 2 ultra sound..I opted for this because I am a diabetic and want to make sure baby is growing correctly and that I'm controlling my sugars well. On my first one everything looked fine!

oh mah gawd HOT. We don't usually get above 90 all summer and even 90 is an oddity. It was 104 yesterday and at 8 am it's was already 70. I'm DYING...

MeganBeth, what the heck is up with that? Do y'all have humidity with your heat like we do? If it were 104 here, chances are the heat index would be closer to 115!

I think the humidity was around 24 yesterday...not that i have any clue WHAT that means lol the temp was106 with a 'real feel' of 110. It's supposed to cool down tomorrow but we're going to the beach anyways.

Yesterday was the first time ever recorded that Seattle has broken the record heat of 100 on the water front which was set in 1891. It was 103 there.

ETA: At the moment (9 am) its 71 degrees with 61% humidity. shoot me lol

One thing I must say is that although temps over 100 are very common during the summer here we have no humidity. 15% is a really humid day for us. It makes the heat easier to bear. I'm feeling for you Megan!

Whoo, me too!! Take it easy, try to stay cool and HYDRATED!!

I know I'm the one that brought up the humidity question (we ALWAYS have a humidity factor!), but 104 is hot, no matter what!

We finally have a name!! Liam Thomas! :D

I re-read my last post wow, i sound like a B***, didn't mean to come off that way..dang...

Guys got my screen back tested negative for downs and everything else, yes i cried like a baby! and they conformed it, ITS A GIRL!!! I seriously thinking about naming her after myself, does any of you know any girls that are Jr.'s??

Guys we in the Northeast are complaining it was cool over here, for the last week we had temps in the lower 70's..mean while the west is on fire!!! What gives?? Al Gore must be excited!!

Phoebe is such a cutie patootie!! She looks like one of those babies that has a perpetual grin, gotta love it.

I'm glad that you were able to nurse for those 2 months, that's great!

Enjoy your time with her, it goes SO fast.

I have one of those, too... isn't it wonderful? :D
