Good morning ladies!

How did you ladies sleep?

Morning... was up from 1-4 in the am while DH decided to bring a bunch of drunk people home (including the 2 staying with us) and have a party even though I was trying to sleep. He just got up before noon. I couldn't sleep past 7:45 because my hips were killing me, so I ended up with less sleep than him overall, and I'm really POed right now. He completely went against everything I asked of him last night. We only fight like once a year, but he's in the doghouse now for sure.

Can't wait for my OB appt tomorrow morning. I've been having more contractions and lower abdominal cramping the last two days, so I'm wondering if my cervix has changed. I kind of hope it has and this pain isn't for nothing! I'm about ready to meet this little one.

DH and I met at a Valentine's day party his friend threw. I didn't pay him much attention that night, heard him talking about his daughter and assumed he was married or something. But he kept showing up everywhere I went for the 4 months or so afterwards, and eventually we started dating and then married after 4 years of dating. Been married for 5 years now.

kneenah I hope your baby shower went well! I would love to see pics!

I slept good once I fell asleep last night. I felt pretty anxious/down yesterday evening/lastnight. Had a breakdown and I am sure that's why I had more contractions than normal last night. I also paced around for a little bit because I felt anxious. I ended up going to bed and placing my progesterone and took my Procardia early to see if that would help. I stayed awake a little to make sure they went away and they did. I woke up early this morning due to my hubbys alarm going off at 730 which he turned off and fell back to sleep. That made one of us. I got up and ate and laid on the couch and watched the news. Ended up laying back down at 1030 and fell asleep for an hour. Now I am up for the day! Trying to be positive today and not get upset like I did yesterday because I know its not good for myself or my little peanut.

27 weeks today! Only one more week to I reach my first milestone/goal that I set for myself. Keep growing baby!!

I met my dh in college. We had a general education class together, the study of languages. It was a horrible class. I did not sure much effort into it, I was working full time and focusing on my nursing classes. So I got like a 2.8 or 2.9 in that class and he got a flipping 4.0 of course. We started chatting towards the end of the semester. We had homework assignments you could do with classmates and I always did it with another girl. For the last one I invited him to join our group. We met at a coffee shop for it, my friend purposely showed up late because I thought he was cute. When I asked if they wanted to grab dinner after she purposely said she was going home, but the poor thing was super hung over from the party we went to the night before, I think even if she wanted she wouldn't of. Well things progressed from there! I always tease him and tell him I picked him up. He claims if I wouldn't of he would of asked me on a date.. Sure, sure.. : )

Happy Sunday Ladies! Slept well last night. The nurse brought me an egg crate thingy for my bed which helped my shoulders and hips to be a little more comfy. Apparently you can get the egg crate once you hit 3 weeks here- lucky me! Trying to sleep as late as I can but they start coming in by 7:30-8am so it's kinda hard.

Yesterday was fairly uneventful. My co-worker and her husband visited. They are having issues TTC, so as much as bed rest stinks, I have to remind myself that we do have a new LO to bring home soon. DH and DD also come last night and I was grumpy to him, so I kinda feel bad now. i think we're both just tired of being apart for this long. I know it's hard on both of us but in different ways. Feel better today and ready to get back to the weekdays since I am working from here and there seems to be a little more structure M-F. Plus, we only have until Friday to meet our LO. My OB told me today she'd most likely stay in NICU for several weeks- so I need to wrap my head around that and just hope and pray for the best.

DH and I met through a mutual friend after college. I'd had a 5yr boyfriend that I couldn't quite cut ties with. After the weekend DH and I met- it took just a phone call and that was the end of boyfriend! We were already 25 & 26 when we met so we dated about 18 months, got engaged, and then got married 2yrs and a few months after we met. Then we waited a whole 8 years to have kids. Sometimes I wish we'd started earlier, but I don't regret having all the memories of just the 2 of us before starting a family.

Hey dolls,

I went to bed around 3am with ultimate back pain. I danced so much and walked around a lot. My baby shower was a huge success. She got tons of gifts.

Now that shower is over I am so excited to remove my stitch tomorrow.

Qotd: DH and I met on MySpace,he he. We were both on late at night and I sent him a message, now here we are 5yrs later expecting our first!

Had Such a nice time

lindsleek · October 2013

No news is always good news, lol! We had a few visitors yesterday throughout the day. It was nice but I always just find myself wondering what the heck to talk about. Like I have done nothing for the last 3 weeks but stare at a wall. I feel like such a boring person, lol. Dh made dinner last night (not just his usually hamburger helper) he actually bought fish and followed an actual recipe. It was so nice! After we put dd to bed and stayed up until 11 just talking. It was cool.staying up that late helped me sleep pretty well! We met in 2007 while I was bartending. He was a typical guy on the other side of the bar hitting on me and I just brushed him off for a few months but he was persistent and eventually we started hanging out. I loved that he was older and had his stuff together.

@olemissbride - dh and I started ttc right after our wedding. I was only 25 but he was 33. We knew we wanted at least two kids and dh didn't want to be having babies into his 40's. Kylee was born 3 weeks before our first wedding anniversary. I sometimes wonder how different (maybe stronger) our marriage would be if we had had that time to just be married without kids. I would never regret our blessings but I think there is something to be said about that bond you create before babies.

Afternoon, ladies.

Slept fine last night. DD slept until almost 8:30 so that was nice.

33w4d today. I'm going stir crazy!!!!

Qotd: DH and I started dating after meeting up through a mutual friend. But technically, we knew each other since we were little kids. His mom and my mom were best friends in high school and grew apart when they started having families and growing up. We lived in different towns (about 15 minutes apart) so we went to separate schools and didn't really have any interaction until we were both out of high school. He's a couple years younger than me and I have a vague memory of my mom going to visit him mom at their house and he was just a little boy in a diaper. Haha. Small world.

I love the pics @kneenah! I'm glad you had a good time. Good luck tomorrow with your stitch, let us know how it goes.

I slept well last night, I was overtired and passed right out.

Today I am 27w6d...the day that I had my daughter in my first pregnancy. Ready to break my record!

I met my husband through friends. We first started seeing each other when I was a senior in high school but I was leaving for college the next fall so we didn't make anything 'official' but we fell madly in love and I couldn't be without him. I came home after just a semester away and finished school here. We have lived together since the moment I came home and remain just as in love. I'm now 29 and he is 31, happily married with a little girl and a son on the way. There's never a day that goes by that I don't think about how thankful I am for my life!

lsugirl3 · October 2013

I slept pretty well last night, but woke up several times to pee and/or reposition due to aching hips!

I'll be 23wks tomorrow and glad to have a week closer to getting little man as close to full term as we can. I was able to see him kick from the outside, which was exciting. We had some visitors and lunch delivered today, so that was nice.

QOTD: We met right before I graduated high school through a mutual friend.

morgandegan · October 2013

@Kneenah-So glad the shower was a success! And I love the color coordination :-)
@Roses-Yay for 27 weeks!
@JandM-Can't wait for tomorrow for the record breaking!

I just came in from a stroll (or should I say roll:)) outside! My sister was up visiting and asked the nurse if we could go outside. We could with the nurse, so off we went. I think she wanted a work out because she wheeled me everywhere, we even stopped for coffee and brownies! I feel like a new woman!

Slept normally last night, but hip pain is definitely not fun! I have so many pillows in bed with me supporting different parts of the body, its ridiculous. MFM tomorrow for fluid and cervical check. Hoping for zero changes.

My boys came to visit today, I hadn't seen them in a while so it was wonderful. Great day!

My husband and I met in the dining hall in college senior year. Super romantic, I know. We ended up having a lot of mutual friends, finding out after the fact. Spent all of senior year together. Been married over 9 years this past September, can't believe it has been so long. He's been a wonderful partner for life's many ups and downs :-)
