    @dreadgamerwife What kind of pancakes? They can have really different flavors! Do you prefer real maple syrup or the (often thicker) corn syrup maple syrup?

    Best wishes for your induction!

    At this point, all types of pancakes.  Says the GD women who hadn't had a pancake in months.  Normally, my favorite type is buckwheat as that was always what my Granddad made for us.

    And it has to be real maple syrup.  I am strange and prefer grade B.

    Married 10/06

    Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)

    @AMShark - I've heard the bigger butt thing is real--your body spends a lot of the first tri building fat stores!

    Hey All! 
    I pray and think about all you IF girls often.  I hope to see you in PAIF soon!  

    AFM:  I'm 31 weeks and on hospital bed rest.  We were having twins and lost one at 21 weeks.  At 29 weeks my water broke and I delivered our angel.  I was 5cm dilated and 60%effaced at last check.  They will reassess at 34 weeks.  It feels like i'm in jail except they get outside time.  I get a new IV every 4 days so thats fun.  But hearing my baby every day and having the nurses tell me he is doing fantastic is great.  I have heard they may induce me at 34 weeks but we will see.  Until then the hospital bed I will stay.  

    QOTW I agree with the cinnamon rolls!  YUMMMMMM
