Erika - I am so happy for you and baby Logan!!!!! I had PM'd you last night in hopes that everything was OK, but I kind of figured SOMETHING was going on because we hadn't heard from you. SO HAPPY everyone is healthy

Take care of yourself and update us when you have time, yea right, lol..

Wow, Erika! Congrats on baby Logan.I hope you guys will be home together and feeling great soon!!!! Amazing!!!

Gena: I thought it was you who had the blog.you look awesome! I think we are about the same size too and I have a singleton!!!

Calley: the blog is super easy to do.....it took me maybe an hour,if that....now I just have to figure out how to get other choices for the back grounds (templets) seems like Blogger doesn't have as many temple choices......
Gena: DO you know anything about that? I wonder if there are other places you can get them .....kinda like PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE.PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE.PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE.PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE.PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE.PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE.PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE.PLEASE REPORT THIS MESSAGE., where you can down load them?????

Didn't I hear your doc mention that you should limit your bending at this point in your pg?

And besides, since it's MIL shouldn't DH be doing the cleaning?

Somewhat more seriously... now is the time to start setting expectations with DH and MIL about reality after the baby... at least early on your focus is not going to be on the house.

Any hope of enlisting MIL's help?

lol - I agree with Tia - I was thinking that MIL should come and do the cleaning.

GMT and Loren- Love the blogs and the pics. You guys look fantastic...you're all belly!

Kaj- glad you had a good appt. 3 weeks will go by quickly.

Sue- You are SO close!

Peanut- Hope your appt goes well.

AFM, I had u/s today and Evan is measuring well. He's about a week behind but has been for the last 2 months. His weight is up 4lbs/13oz so he's gaining the 1/2 lb/week that he's supposed to and he's now in the 28th percentile. He started off in the 20th the moved up to the 23rd and now is at the 28th so I'm happy that everything has been consistent. I also got to see him practicing breathing which was very cool.

Everything looked fine with my urine/bp etc. I'm 34 weeks/3days and I'm up around 23-24lbs. I have my next appt in two weeks and that's when they'll do the strep b and cervical check.

Hahahhahah: Very funny about my MIL cleaning for me............I don't see that happening, my mother and my step mother yes, but MIL...not so much! ;-)

My HUbby is helping too! Thanks god!!!

Ahh you ladies are so sweet. I feel so huge

Congrats Erika so happy you and baby are doing well

Heather I think that is so neat that our little ones have been on the same growth track this time. I can't wait to hear how your next appointment goes :-) and I really can't wait to confirm what you are having. I think it is boy/ girl too. Do you have names yet?
Loren I think you look smaller than me. But maybe we always look bigger to ourselves LOL. I get my backgrounds from a website called cutest blog on the block. They have tons to choose from and easy dowload instructions

Lora glad to hear that little Evan is growing do well :-)

loren · 03-18-2009, 02:45 PM

Thanks Gena for the info...that's awesome!

I don't fit into any of my clothes..........holy crap!!!! I think I am feeling extra huge since the MIL is almost here and I haven't seen her since x-mas....alot of expanding has gone on!!!!!

lmohall · 03-18-2009, 03:32 PM

Congrats Erika on little Logan! I'm so glad that everyone is healthy and safe!

Loren~ Good luck on cleaning!!

I'm appreciating all the comments about how big everyone feels...last week at 35 weeks they did a growth ultrasound and the baby was measuring 6lbs 14oz!!! Holy COW!!! My only consolations: I don't "look" as huge as other women that are due after me, and the technician that did the measurements was an intern...(so maybe she was really off?!?! Maybe!?!?!) I did get a 4D out of the deal (so she could practice). It totally looks like me!! I'd show you, but not quite sure how to post a picture?

I'll be 37 weeks on Friday...can you believe that we're almost there!!!! Some days I'm totally ready (especially to have my body back!) and other days...well, I'm just a little scared....
