[Franca]

Hi my lovely ladies, happy thanksgiving to you all in the states. We don't have that here i wish we did, Us brits like to party

Angela- Do you know how many women hear this about there babies? I have friends, reletives who have also been told this and there babies come out perfect. Even if she is small doesnt mean anything bad is going to happen, its just means she is small. Angela Technology and medicine now is brilliant, the best and you must try and get negative thoughts out of your head and just think positive. I know it can be hard as you know what i'm like. I am probably the worlds worst worry wart and everyday i have to fight all the horrible things that come into my head. The other day i thought i was having contractions, when i looked at my tummy it looked like Elizabeth was doing a 360 turn. It made me panic as you can imagine. I was desperate for my DH to be home so he could give me a checkup and to hear those words all normal. Those 4 hours of waiting for him was like a life time. She now has started to get heavy and do the mexican wave. I hope i get use to it lol!!!
Anyway darling Angela everything is going to be fine because i feel it for you, me and everyone else here. I love you

xxxxx
ps Thankyou for being here for me xx

Hi ladies!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday I enjoyed the day with my family-everyone is so over the moon with these babies and I just love to watch how much they love on them.

Gi-Yeah, CONGRATS!!!! It sounds like a pleasant surprise to go to the doc. appt. and stay to have Kayla. She is a great, healthy weight-wow! I can only imagine the happy tears flowing over your beautiful daughter-Jason and your mam have to be adorable sights cooing over your darling! Enjoy her and take it easy while you recover-we can't wait to hear more later

Katie-I should have sent my mom to your house to cook, the woman was on overdrive! She made 6 desserts and we only had 9 people eating. She loves to cook and fuss over her family. If I had to cook it would have been pizza for sure. I am so glad that Ryan is giving you a few more hours of sleep. It is amazing how transforming it can be when you actually feel a little more rested Thank you for fixing the list and the compliment on Delaney's name. We've been calling her Laney and my daughter calls her Laney bug-I just love how she loves on her siblings. It takes my breath away.

Babyluv-I completely understand how you feel-no sleep and crying babies makes the tears come I'm glad you got some sleep and feel better. Luckily, every day is a new day and a little rest (or a shower) can completely change the day! Take care of yourself and remember you are a great mom!

Angela-I hope you are doing well and relaxing on bedrest. I'm sure it is hard to wait til Monday-it is always waiting in this journey I know you have so many reasons to worry and think the worst but I am so glad your are trying to stay positive and believe in this miracle.

Steph-How was your Thanksgiving? Did you get to spend time with family or friends? I hope you are taking good care. The crazy parent is exactly why I sometimes hate teaching. I can't believe how ignorant, lazy, and ridiculous some people are-it just kills me. I always give people credit and assume they have common sense/morals and are generally good people. Not always so...Alex unfortunately gets the life lesson that not everyone has a brain (or a heart) like her

I will have to finish personals later...my family is in town and I need to spend some quality time with them. Have a great weekend everyone!

PA_FA – Yeah for her turning! We are just going to hope that she stays that way, right? Oh yes, Gabriella has been head down during my entire pregnancy and as she grew it became extremely painful especially after sitting for awhile then getting up and lying down trying to turn over. When she drops, you will have more pressure on your bladder and a little more pain. The best advice is to rise slowly and turnover slowly also.

Katie – I am on modified bed rest so partial leave I suppose. Yes, I hope I get more answers on Monday also. So you cooked Thanksgiving dinner … I think it would have been a very small dinner if it were me … lol. I am sure you did a wonderful job and I hope you were able to enjoy yourself for your first Thanksgiving as a family!

Jamila – Thanks for the concern! Yes, I made it to my sister’s house just fine and I lied down for the most of the evening until around 9pm … I sat up for a while enjoyed some music with my family. Music always makes me feel so much better … lol.

Franca – Thank you so much for the reassurance! You are so right, I do need to continue to think positive but every once in awhile those negative thoughts creep up but you ladies have been wonderful keeping me on track.

Sara – Yes, I have been relaxing for the most part but I am also anxious for Monday to arrive.

AFM – My NST was just fine today, which certainly made me feel much better because if she was in distress, the test would have indicated that was the case. So in the meantime I will sit back and enjoy the weekend as much as possible w/ my DH. I thought the traffic would be crazy on our way to the appointment but I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hospital. The nurse said that they should have been much busier but they had a lot of cancellations, which I thought was really strange because we are all pregnant women so it couldn’t be from the excessive drinking or staying up late from Thanksgiving but then again you never know, right? Well, I guess they all could be shopping a lot for black Friday. Oh well, anyways, have a great Friday ladies!

Hey ladies I hope you had a wonderful day today. I was flipping through a catalogue and found something that made me think of all of us. I went to the web site and found the item. Here is the link.

GI - Just wanted to say Congrats on your baby girl I am so happy for you both. It was a long road to travel to get here but makes it sooooo much sweeter, right ???? Enjoy your precious gift and try to get as much rest as you can, HUGS !!!!

AFM- I'm 26 weeks along and getting really big. I'm due @ the end of February with a baby boy. I've had alot of family stress this pregnancy, hoping life gives me a break soon The pregnancy seems to be doing well (knock wood ). Hope to see you around, miss talkin to ya, congrats again

[karenthescorpio]

Gi- congrats on the arrival of Baby Kayla! Just rest up and enjoy ever little moment. Xoxoxo. It really is such a huge blessing

My second beta was 256! Woo whoo! First ultrasound is next Thursday! Sooo darn excited! Feel so incredibly blessed too!

[natasha10]

Happy late thanksgiving mommas!! I hope you all ate well yesterday

Gi- congrats on the arrival of your precious baby girl. I cant believe how fast time went. Every one is having their babies back to back it seems. Congrats!!!

angela and steph- Im excited for sunday. I didnt even get to tell you andre suprised me with a chihuahua last friday. my hands are extremely busy. He is a fulltime job but so cute. I dont no what im going to once nataliah comes. this potty training is exhausting already. I will definitely post the u/s pics. your right no one has posted them huh. i have no idea what to expect but i heard they were really nice to have done.

I'll be back in a few days to check on you ladies. have a nice weekend mommas!! ( im staying in its freezing outside. I went to go shopping for black friday and grab my crib and carrier and stuff and OMG was it packed and so irritating, never again. I should have been warned)

[Stephanieford78]

Angela - Glad that the NST went well! I'm curious as to what your ob will do with your suggestion on Monday. She could be here in a week! Time is just flying! I can't wait!

Sara - Thanksgiving went well, how was yours? I bet being in your profession, you know all too well how lazy parenting effects children. I am sure it is a much harder job now-a-days between that and all the drugs they got so many kids hopped up on just so their parents don't have to deal with them as often.

Katie - They don't need as many people in the military anymore because the military is where Obama is cutting the budget. They stopped offering money to enlist and reenlist. He has been proposing no pay raises since he has been in office. If it wasn't for the senate over ruling the president, the military wouldn't even get the normal inflation raise. And of course, he is looking for ways to get people out of the military. Orders came down from way higher ups to chapter everyone they can because this will save the government money. They aren't even offering early outs like Clinton did (during a time of peace) they are looking for any reason to kick people out. If someone is late to formation, they are getting UCMJ action. Can you believe it?? As for the bleeding, yup... it's back. No fun at all I might add. Though I didn't get the nice long 9 month break you did. lol Remember, I had that lovely 5 week SCH bleed. That was the most annoying bleed ever and very scary at first. You know, we haven't even put the twins in their cribs yet but once and that wasn't to go to sleep. lol It was just two nights ago and they loved the mobiles there too. Maybe try to have Ryan follow your hand or a colorful toy to look up. I am sure once he looks up, his eyes will be glued. I don't think they see very far yet, just a couple feet in front of them until things are blurry after that at this stage. You are so lucky that Ryan is starting to sleep through the night. I have to keep reminding myself that the twins are probably going to be 3 weeks behind and have patience. I think it is more of a perfected skill than a virtue. lol

Pa - That outfit is too cute and so fitting. lol YAY for little girl turning around. Hopefully she stays there just to be on the safe side. Don't want a breech baby at the end, that's for sure. If she is anything like Ethan, she will do many summersaults while in your belly.

Gi - Oh Gina... your miracle has finally arrived! All that worrying you did and now you know for sure that she is safe and perfect! How could life be any more grand? I am so proud of you for getting through this. You have been on a long hard road, a journey that has had many bumps, but here you are! I hope to see pictures soon of you and Jason's masterpiece!

If I missed anyone, I apologize!! Have to tend to babies! Quickly though... Babyluv sent me this and I wanted to share with all of you. I swear this is EXACTLY what I hear each time I go out.
