AJplusKev

::taps back:: I'm here, but I'm not really paying attention. These itty bitty contractions are kicking my butt.

Here.. drinking...

Nope. I'm going to hold out until tuesday or thursday. I can't find any info on FF or google about variation in LP length, so I'll hold out until its longer. Everything I found was about problems with it being too short. My last cycle I had a 10 day LP, but that was the only other cycle I had the actual O date.

That's some major willpower!

Oooh Stephanie good luck. As my birth coach would say "ignore labor until you can't ignore it anymore". I hope this is it for you. Are you ready?

Not even close to ready! My shower at MIL's is on Sunday. The contractions are regularly irregular, if that makes sense. I know they are just practice and not real, but they still hurt.

Stephanie, I didn't realize until recently that you lived in the 'bury. I was just telling schwandy the other day that I'm only 30 min from there Hey...maybe you know the answer to this question...does the Gap at Woodbury Lakes have a maternity section?

I'm not letting myself believe that my chart looks good. If I don't believe there's a chance, then I'll (hopefully) have less of an urge to POAS. It all depends on this weekend's temps. If they keep going up, I'll have some willpower problems.?

Yes, they do! It's at the back of Baby Gap. Where are you? Hudson, new Richmond area?

zeesbride

I am here but having major anxiety! I am emailing a professor at another university about some research she recently had published that I would like more information on...for some reason I am like freaking out trying to write this !!

StephanieBride1

I'm like that too, zees. I get nervous talking to people who know things, I don't want to sound dumb.

?You got it! NR. Sa-weet about Gap. My BFF and I were just pondering whether they had a maternity section or not, and now I know.

AJ, wait just a gosh darn second. I totally just placed you. I remember you from local knottie days. Ahh yes but you were a minnesotan then, right?

I was always a little nervous when talking to someone about their research! Never wanted to sound dumb.?

AJplusKev

Haha! Funny. No, I lived in WI, but my wedding was in MN (Rochester), and I associate with MN more than I do WI since, you know, all media I listen to/watch and shopping I do is in MN.

It's hard to keep track of people after they change their siggies! I ma remember you too. Get out an old siggy and I'll let you know for sure.?

zeesbride

Exactly ladies! I just dont want to sound dumb. Especially since I am doing something that my advisor did her second year of graduate school and I am in my last semester of my BA. I havent had any practice with this yet...literally my first email like this

biomaj5

Eh, its ok. Usually if you mention where you are in your education, they'll judge your email with it in mind (in my experience, anyway). What kind of research is it?

StephanieBride1

I don't remember any of my siggies from those days. But my wedding pics are in my bio. Do you frequent the local nest board at all? I kinda gave up over there, it's more fun here.

I don't think that the person will actually judge by inexperience or anything. Probably will be flattered that you found their work interesting. Nothing to be scared about.

Social Science research. Dealing with helping immigrants in other countries become educated enough to enter the workforce in their new home country.

I am doing an independent study class with my fav prof in which I learn how to create and fund a NPO. Its actually REALLY fun!

I'm popping in here and there. 

Leaving now to watch Tropic Thunder.  I was trying to wait until dh finished watching the UNC game.

?Ah yes. It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now. I check in on the msp nest board about once a week, but it's boring over there. Remember maydaygirl? She had a baby this past weekend...not sure if you knew that.

She has so many blog stalkers Brighton is so cute. I'm feeling...okay. Some days I feel very nauseated, others not so much. I got into a car accident on Monday (I got rear-ended) so that was kind of scary, but aside from going to the chiropractor 2x week until who knows when to fix my upper back, I'm doing fine.?
