My boss just came into my office and asked, "How are you feeling today? Are you okay?" - This was big because she generally doesn't mention me being pregnant at all or ask about it. I was like, "Oh, I'm feeling great today! I actually slept really well last night." She goes, "Oh, really? I'm glad to hear that....don't take this the wrong way, but you looked a little worse for wear when you came in this morning."
I just don't know how to respond to that sort of comment. It just is like, oh...well, nope, I actually feel really good for once (as opposed to all those mornings when I was running to the bathroom puking and she didn't say a thing.)
Do people not think before they talk? Sorry your boss is an idiot.
I'm so happy that it's Friday! Can't wait to sleep in tomorrow. I'm meeting some friends tomorrow night and I'm going to tell them that I'm pregnant. I'm excited.

Huh, no filter...
So glad it's Friday! My ILs arrived yesterday. They're moving back to Miami after living in Switzerland for 8 years. I think it will be really good to have family closer, but I'm sure it's going to take some time to adapt. My MIl can be a little... intense. LOL.
spankswife - people are so stupid. And who asks someone if they're sure they aren't having twins? Um, pretty sure you would know better than they would.
miamigirl - good luck with the MIL. Mine can be a bit intense and overwhelming too, but we live across the country from her right now. Will they be living very close to you?

Im laughing at all the times I have to pick the restaurant when I meet up with my friends now. Everyones all you're the pregnant one you pick. Sometimes I don't want to think and plan and just want someone else to suggest!

Thanks! We'll see how it goes.
Yes, they will be 10 min away. At first they were considering a few houses that were walking distance from ours. Luckily, they chose another one.

I posted on ML on Tuesday morning but on Monday evening, my water broke. I'm 31 weeks. I've been in the hospital on bedrest since. I'm doing okay, but I'm so worried about baby. They've given me steroids to help baby's lungs, I'm on massive antibiotics to keep me infection free, and being monitored closely. All in all, really great care. Just not the way I envisioned the last part of my pregnancy going. They're trying to get me to 34 weeks.

Glad you are getting good care. I can't imagine how stressful this must be for you. ((Hugs))
I woke up at 4:30 to pee and couldn't fall back to sleep. Yipee!! Should make working fun (I didn't need to get up til 6:40). Grr. I wasn't feeling ready lately to have this baby yet, but work has been so stressful this week, I'm ready now, lol.

Lots of thoughts and prayers for you, I'm glad you're under such good care, I'm sure everything will be fine. Keep us posted!!

I'm so sorry you're going through this. But I have a lot of faith in where you are (not specifically, just at a hospital). I have a friend whose water broke at 26 weeks and the hospital kept her out of labor for another 2 wks. (Her son is fine now, BTW, it's a happy ending story).

This sounds so stressful, but I am glad you are doing okay and under good medical care. Sending you lots of good vibes to get through a few more weeks!

Monica Geller sending good thoughts your way and hoping baby can stay put as long as possible! How stressful!
I'm getting antsy lately. Mostly I just want to be done with work, haha. But I'm starting to feel like we're ready. I still need to get some things together for a hospital bag, but I at least have a list going! I'm probably not that close to going into labor but for some reason I just feel like I'll go a little early. We'll see though in 3ish weeks
monica_gellar I hope the baby stays put and that everything works out well!
I am at the airport headed to Virginia. I looked at my calendar and the next time I have a full week with no flights is March 20. I think I should move into logan airport.
I'm glad to hear the baby is still cooking and they are taking great care of you, monica_geller!
For the past two nights, I have been wide awake from 4-5:45 am. I hope this is not a new pattern!
I just had an OB appointment, and my GD diet and meds are working really well. Next weekend we have our maternity photos, shower and my mom will have the fabrics all sewn for the nursery. I am hoping in the next two weeks we can finish all baby-related stuff and then spend the rest of our time doing regular house organization and just enjoying each other and having fun.
(Monica Geller)), glad to hear you're doing better, I hope baby Geller stays put for a few more weeks!
I had my gd test yesterday, they said results should be by Tuesday, but they only call if I fail. If I don't hear by Thursday, I'll call just in case.
I finally caught dh's cold Took half a day yesterday, and staying home today. I should be resting, but I'm getting some stuff done around the house. I still need to clean out and organize so much before the baby comes. I do not have the organizing gene, I just shove things away.

I just drank the glucose drink and baby is going crazy in there! Leaving in about 10 minutes to get to the lab and then I have an ultrasound after. I'm so excited to see her again!! Fx I pass this test!

I'm keeping you your baby in my prayers. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I am glad you are getting great care and hope baby stays put.
I'm hanging in there. Just day by day now I guess. Had another NST/growth yesterday along with my regular prenatal check. NST was perfect, growth and fluid all normal with an estimated weight of 9lb 2oz (give or take 22oz. Pretty precise, huh? lol).
Prenatal went ok I guess. It was with a different provider again. She checked my cervix and said I was 1cm dilated, soft but still posterier. I'm beginning to wonder if the Ob on Sat. really even checked my cause I swear this lady was elbow deep and it hurt like a bitch where as the other was quick and not really too uncomfortable. Bled pretty bad but did have some contractions here and there; nothing like she said I would though.
I lost my mucous plug right afterwards. Small victories??? I know it really means nothing though.
Now I'm sitting here waiting to see if E will move some before I go into work. She did a bit last night but not as much as usual again. Same thing this morning. Not usual but enough to pass a kick count. I can't lie, it makes me a bit nervous since last time she did that my fluid got very low (5) but it was 9 yesterday. So we'll see what happens.
Oh, and DH is now the happiest guy on the planet and I admit I'm happy for him too. From the beginning he really wanted this baby to have a Disney name. He is a fanatic (I am not) and he really pushed for Aurora but its NMS. Very pretty, just not for me and I really tried.
Well, Disney announced the introduction of Princess Elena (will be a new spin off of Princess Sophia I guess) yesterday. I know that means our choice will probably become more popular but it is what it is and I chose it for other reasons. But I'm happy for DH because I felt like he was somehow settling and right as she is due he got all he wanted. The smiles from him last night.....so many.
