GemiLibria- I would be very annoyed with that too! Sleeping is almost non existent for me these days...between getting up for the bathroom, heartburn, and just plain old being uncomfortable! One more week til my due date, I almost cried today to not hear let's induce you!! Pretty sure FI was too, I take up most of our bed with all my pillows too!

 

Andrea- I've been itchy too, but I forget the name of it..From pregnancy I have little white bump looking things in the palms of my hands and soles of my feet...I feel for you!

 

Angel- So sorry to hear baby's still breech! Hoping she will turn for you on her own!!

 

I had another check up today...Still only about 2 cm dilated, but she scraped my membranes and said hopefully I'll see her in a day or two before she leaves on holidays..I really hope so too!! I'm feeling pretty crampy tonight, so I'm hoping that it's working and I go into labor soon!!! We've finally got the nursery 99% done, just waiting on some wall decals to write her name on the wall :) I will get pics up soon.

 

Hope everything else is all good with all you ladies! :)

Tlseege- thanks, you're so sweet! I just realized that you can't really see my belly in the pics, but it's there!!

 

GeminiLibra- I would be mad, too!! Of all themes to choose from and she chooses yours!! Just wait to see what her nursery looks like so you can decorate yours a little different and 100x's better!! I'm sure yours will look great!

 

Kat- Congrats on your little girl!!!!!!!!! Your hubby and you must be sooo excited!!

All of you are having girls so far!! Besides Bisha and I, are we the only ones with boys?! Come on ladies, start making some baby boys ASAP!!

 

Angel- Sorry to hear she's still breech. 3 weeks is a long time, so you never know, she may decide to flip by then!!

 

Summer- Count down is on....you're going to have a baby any moment now......popcorn.gif

 

Regarding the sleeping, yah, I'm having trouble too. The issue is, I've been waking up hot and sweaty (and I'm usually always cold at night) no matter the temperature, so I can't really sleep with a body pillow to help out. It makes me hotter, but then again my legs begin to lock up and they hurt with out one.

 

I hope everyone else is doing well!

Oh Angel, I'm sorry. I actually think that my little one might be breech too. She only kicks down in my pelvic bone... and the hiccups are up near my rib cage. So, I might be in the same boat as you are. Is there any way that YOU can tell that she's upside down?

Kelly- how was your appt?

 

I have a question for you all- what's up with Charley Horses while your pregnant? I have had so many lately!!! I don't even have to be moving in my sleep to get them, they just happen. Last night I had another one and I start yelling and my poor hubby jumped out of bed and thought I was going in to labor. I always freak him out when I get one, so he said in the future to just yell out "charley horse" so he know's why I'm screaming and moving around at night.

 

Also, for you ladies with kids already, I have a question about strollers. I already received a full-sized, system travel stroller, but I noticed on my registry that someone also purchased a jogging stroller and a light weight stroller for us. Do I need that many? I want to keep the jogging stroller because I love to run and I know I will use it for sure, but do I need the other lightweight stroller? If I wanted to use something lighter than the travel system stroller, I can always just use the jogging one, right? I haven't even received the other two, but I was just trying to figure out whether I would actually need all three so I can return one or just keep it.

I know, for my sister, she had a couple lightweight ones and just kept them in the trunks of different cars. It makes it easier, so it's totally a preference. Like when I lived with her and her ex, I had an extra car-seat in my car and they both had car seats in their cars (free or cheap from garage sales for the extras) and she left lightweight strollers in each cars trunks. That way we were never at the mall like "oh crap, we forgot a stroller!"

Yeah, I definitely have all three strollers. The jogging strollers typically don't compact down very much. So i have the travel stroller for big trips. I have the jogging stroller for jogging/walking/gravel trips. And then I have a Jeep Umbrella stroller (only one I ever found with high enough handles so my back doesn't hurt) to just throw in the trunk just in case. Because it folds up so small and easy it's really nice. especially if you're just going somewhere like the park or to the neighbors house or something. It's light weight, easy to travel with, and little to no fuss.

Thanks to both of you for the input. Both of you are right, I never even thought about just leaving the lightweight stroller in the car just to have incase I need it and it's fuss-free. Plus, it doesn't take up much space since it folds up. I'll keep all three!!

Just a thought on strollers. The light/umbrella ones have lower handles and can hurt your back after a while. The jeep is great with high handles but my favorite stroller of all time (i've used a lot) is the MacLaren. It is the BEST! I swear. They came out with a new line. But the handles are super high. It folds down super small and has a strap to carry on your back so you can hold baby too. I can lug that baby up stairs with a baby in my arms. Just a thought if someone was looking for a lightweight. It even comes with a storage place underneath. The new line is a bit different but you can find the older ones other places. Anyways just thought I'd let you know if you were interested.
