Re: *~* July Sparklers' Monday Check-in *~*
1. Weekend was kinda sucky. I have a sinus infection (went to urgent care today-Sunday-for it) and the heat has been nearly unbearable (most houses in my area don't have a/c because we don't get hot days like this). Bummed DH is going back to work and I'm on my own with DS again. So thankful my mom is so close!!
2. No updates. 9 days to my c-section!
Mama Jan's Kitchen... a food blog
The weekend wasn't bad. We had DH's Aunt & Uncle visit and it was nice to see them. We had lots of fun. I wish we had relatives closer by, I miss everyone so much.
No baby updates, other than I am running out of room for Max in my belly. He knows it as well.
1. Weekend was great. We are continuing to get odds and ends done around the house- organized guest room closet, put together bassinet, got rid of a bunch of random stuff and just hung out as a family.
2. Amazingly enough, LO is still in there.
I have an OB appt. on Wednesday and I'm hoping I've made no more cervical change. If all keeps going this way, I will make it to my scheduled section on the 13th.?
1) Well, productive at least. Got a lot of stuff done I'd been meaning to do but all my labor-inducing plans led to nothing. Which is sad. And also sad is that my DD's cold has spread through the house -- FIL came down with it same day as DD, DH just got it yesterday and MIL said last night she finally felt like she was coming down with it (not surprising as she and DD had been sharing drinks and I warned her not to do that). Knock major wood, but I don't have it yet.
2) Only that I'm still pg!!!! Ugh -- very done right now. Sacroiliac pain is awful, peeing every 5 minutes, lots of stretching sensations as he is low, contractions that lead to nothing but ticking me off. But worst case scenario, induction slated to start tomorrow night and I don't think it will take much to tip everything into action. Only bummer is FIL is leaving Wed. for a family reunion so may miss seeing his grandson (first grandson) until he returns the following week.
3) Knowing how it will be dealing with a newborn at that time, I'll let someone due later in the month assume check-in duties because I doubt I'll be on much!!!
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
1. Weekend was good. Saturday MIL hosted a shower for DH's family. It was small but nice to see everyone. Sunday I came into work for awhile (trying to get everything done before LO arrives) and then went home and cleaned out my car and installed the carseat. Whew.
2. Full term today! Weekly appointments now. Took our hospital tour on Friday... we are almost ready to have LO now.
Weekend was good but kinda short. We were supposed to take an all-weekend Prepared Childbirth course at our hospital. We went for the first 3 hours on Saturday and it was all stuff that we already knew from reading & from our hypnobirthing courses. Once the rest of our class voted to skip leaving for lunch and instead, bring lunch back to the classroom and watch childbirth videos while eating, we decided it was time to go so we explained to the instructor that we didn't mean any disrespect but that it just wasn't a valuable way to spend our time. Later that night I saw some friends I haven't really seen since the beginning of my pregnancy and that was fun. Sunday was a lazy day, but we did manage to buy some odds & ends we'll need for the new house.
No concrete updates. I have another app't tomorrow and I think I'm going to let my MW do an internal (she told me last time that I'd have one at my next app't) because I've been having a lot of contractions (even though they're probably just BH), cramping and over the weekend had a bit more discharge than normal.
I had a very productive weekend! Friday night DH and I made a Sam's Club run to stock up on chicken, dog food, diapers, etc... bulk items! Saturday I bonded with my kitchen. I made, 2 pans of baked ziti, 3 lasagnas, 4 dozen meatballs, 2 meatloafs, froze 10 packs of marinated chicken breasts, froze 4 packs of pork chops, and made 5 chicken pot pie fillings to freeze.
Needless to say DH and I will have plenty to eat once LO arrives!
(1) My weekend was great! DH and I had a date night Friday night. We went to see the movie The Hangover! I have never laughed so hard at a movie in my life!!! Then Saturday our neice turned 7 so we went to a horse park for her party. 15 screaming 7 and 8 year olds made for an interesting day especially when the birthday girl passed out because she got too hot!!! It was 98 degrees on Saturday with really high humidity. Sunday we just relaxed all day!
(2) no news on the baby front... just that she's growing and still baking!
M: My weekend was alright. Saturday was rainy so I had a few naps. DH was working so I took advantage of a quiet house.
As far as the baby goes I'm 2-3 cm dilated, having some minor contractions but nothing strong or regular. My belly is soooooooooooooooo itchy, it drives me insane.
This week?s QOTD:
M: (1)Pretty good, mom's in town and driving me up the wall. The irony of having someone come to decrease my stress and in return give me twice as much- bleh
(2) First internal on tuesday, curious to see what's going on!
1: Our weekend was very relaxing - we went to a bbq and Transformers.?
2: We have a c-section scheduled for Wednesday morning @ 9:30 so we are both sooooo excited!! We're team green so we're anxious to see who was right about the baby's sex.?
Congratulations!!

My weekend was good...they had the annual Liberty Day parade in town, but it was so hot outside I opted out on that. SO and I did go to the fireworks show that night though. It was nice.
No updates really. I have a doctor appt today for my GBS test and my first internal. So we'll see how that goes....
M: (1) How was your weekend? My weekend was good. I had my last shower and got a ton of good stuff. DH and I are going tonight to buy the necessities that are left on the registry, which is not much. We also finished up the nursery and are trying to get as much done around the house before LO arrives!
(2) Any baby/pregnancy updates? Baby is still breech! We have NST and U/S tomorrow morning to check the amniotic fuild levels. It is at an "8" now and if it drops to a "5" or below, we will schedule c-section right away. If not, I continue to go 2x per week to check baby and fluid levels. We do know the LO will be here between the 2nd (when I'm full-term) and the 16th. We are getting so excited and I just hope and pray everything goes well!
(3) Is anyone interested in taking over check-ins while I have my baby? I would, but I will probably be in the same boat as you at that time, sorry!
1. Weekend was interesting- our bathroom is being redone so we are staying with my parents...
2. just eagerly awaiting baby's arrival...come on little guy we want to meet you!
1. Weekend was great. Just resting and trying not to freak myself out a bunch since LO's arrival is close.
2. Induction is scheduled for tomorrow.
1. Weekend was decent. I spent part of Saturday in L&D getting fluids.
2. I have an appointment on Thursday.
1. It was very busy. We moved DS down to his own room and set up nursery for DD. It was a lot of work.
2. not really, just trying to survive at this point.

my currently-reading shelf:
ahhh...it's been so long since I've posted...but I've been checking up on you gals!
M: (1) How was your weekend? Good. Friday I got the feeling I needed to be totally "ready"! So we spent all day Saturday running errands for last minute baby things and items for the hospital bag. and Sunday we organized/cleaned the garage and finished building the flower bed in our backyards that's been 'sitting' for about two months.
(2) Any baby/pregnancy updates? When I'm running around in and out of stores or 'working hard' around the house, or walking at night I definatly get something going in my ute. And back pain has set in-full force. I have my 37W apt. this afternoon and if they dont 'offer' me an internal I'm going to ask for one! I want to know if I'm really feeling pre labor pains OR if it's just in my head.
1. My weekend was good, had our prenatal class all day Saturday, and most of the day Sunday.
2. I had a doc appt today and my first internal and Alex is officially head down and i'm 1cm!
You can add my age too if you like, I'm 23
1) Weekend was good Saturday was my uncles b-day and Sunday was a day of laughter and just relaxing...
2) No updates i have an apt on thursday @ 10 maybe ill have some kind of progress then
M: (1) How was your weekend?
Weeekend was okay. The a/c in our van has went out. I don't have the money right now to get if fixed.
(2) Any baby/pregnancy updates?
No pregnancy updates, but My Birthday is tomorrow. I wish I would go into labar today so I could give birth tomorrow.
(3) Is anyone interested in taking over check-ins while I have my baby? (C-section is scheduled for 7/8, and I can post up until then. So maybe someone who can do 7/8-7/17. I can even put together questions for you if you want!)
I wouldn't mind doing it if I gave birth before then. 7/8 is my due date.
1. Weekend was good, DH and I went to see a movie and out for dinner on Friday, on Saturday we had a wedding to go to, and then on Sunday we just bummed around the house basically doing whatever we want too.
2. No updates, I have my dr's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully we have some progress going on, these BH's can't be for nothing now can they!?!
