Good morning Seattle Mamas (and niq, if you're still hanging in these parts)!
We had a busy, busy, busy weekend. Saturday was my Bridal Brunch with my mom - she's getting married on Saturday. I can't really believe it. Then we had dinner with my birth mom at Zeek's in Bothell, which was fun. Then yesterday, we went on a play date to the Snohomish Aquatic Center. If you've never been, it's worth the drive! I feel lucky that it's only 15 minutes away from our house. Super nice facility, really kid friendly, and for the three of us (DH didn't come), it was $10 for about 2 hours of swimming. M would have stayed in the pool all day if I let her, haha. B had a great time, but clung to me most of the time. I'll add a picture in a few minutes.
We need to do a catch-up post with all of the impending babies! I know ilovebed is expecting very soon, and karebear219 is newly expecting - is anyone else pregnant around here? I know of someone else, but I don't want to out her.
jennlin, I'm hoping you get a plan in place so you can get some sleep! <3

Looks like fun picks! We have gone to the lynnwood one several times. I wonder if the snohomish one is warmer? I'm always freezing at lynnwood.
I want to know who is pregnant! Spill!
Bkb has a cold where mucus is comingt though her eye and at night they are getting stucks shut so every morning this week at 4am we've awaken to crying because her eyes are stuck shut. At least today she went back to sleep. She's been a monster all weekend from staying up and not napping.

Definitely warm enough! Water was perfect, and it's salinated, not chlorine, so that was extra nice.

I'm almost sure you're friends on FB with her, so you probably already know, too.
No signs of baby yet other than some really low abdominal discomfort. I have my regular OB appointment today at 11:30 and I'm asking him to sweep my cervical membranes. Has anyone done that? What can I expect in terms of discomfort?
What a gorgeous weekend we had! We had some really special family time together. It was what we all needed. I also managed to wash, fold and put away every bit of laundry in the house. Come baby come!
Had a nice morning coffee w/ mom & babyniq. Poor mom didn't sleep well at all last night, but she was a trooper, got up early, joined us for coffee, and took him to daycare.
We just got back from a wedding in Atlanta, babyniq was quite the charmer. Here is a fun pic of someone to ask him to dance, he said "BRIDESNAME AND GROOMSNAME HAVE TO DANCE FIRST!" lol

Um, it's uncomfortable, for sure. It'll cause cramping, and maybe some spotting. Have you lost your mucus plug yet? If not, this may cause it to come out some.
ilovebed, I had it done with all three kids and my experience was with both girls it wasn't painful at all. With Aj it hurt just because I was still so high and not dilated so the pain was really because of how far he had to try and reach in to get to it.
I feel like a broken record lately with the kids all being sick and not knowing what it is. They each seem to be in different stages of it and then I caught it or something right before the weekend so its been the struggle bus around here. I tried getting into the walk in clinic but the waits are astronomical when I have to consider three kids waiting. Soooo yeah. I have Aj's well child apt tomorrow and I'm going to see if he will give me something for myself and the kids.
He didn't do it He said I'm more ripe than last week but not ripe enough for my cervix to be optimal for the sweep. At least it's progress! I'm 30% effaced and much softer...less posterior. The check was kind of rough in and of itself though. I'm bleeding quite a bit.
Hi all! I still check in time to time ? Membrane sweep didn't hurt me either. Just uncomfortable. And we do snohomish aquatic center for swim lessons 2x a week. I love that place. The Y is much closer to me but the water there is freezing. Feels busy with preschool 3 days a week and swimming the other 2. Poor little one is just drug around to older ones activities. And in a few weeks I might start watching another 2 year old. Please tell me this isn't insane. I feel crazy as is so we will see...
jamer, I don't think its insane. For a while I watched my friends little one, and then we both got pregnant so I went from watching one to three lol. Then after a couple years I got pregnant with #2 for me and decided that would be enough so I stopped. It was nice extra money though it was just a matter of sanity

Yes i/ we need the money so it's either this or go back to work so this seems like the best option for now. I'm working very part time on the weekends so hopefully we can last til girls are in school before I have to go back to work.
