Mel has my phone number programmed into her cell phone to call me when she's on her way to the hospital. I have my phone strapped to my hip and beside me on my night-stand and she hasn't called.  But I do jump every time it rings...lol

Wow, I feel like I am a wanted woman!!  LOL! ;;D

Nothin happening here yet folks.  Just went out to lunch with my husband and son (it's Jesse's day off) and then shopping at Walfart.  

I have my 38week OB appt. tomorrow at 12:50pm central time and will find out if anything has progressed.  

Linda, my lord woman, you are just too much! LOL!

Can't wait to see a "Mel is on her way to the hospital" message or, even better, "Ava's here!" message... ;)

Hate to burst anyones bubble, but it looks like Ava just might not be here until her original due date of March 7th.  I had my OB appt. today and not much is happening.  I am still 1.5cm dialated, 40% effaced and Ava's head is very high.

I am up every hour and a half during the night due to severe round ligament pain, but told the doc I do NOT want to be induced.  I'll just suffer.

You can all relax now!  lol

hugs,
mel

I guess I can put the phone down now for a while.   My hand went to sleep 4 days ago, and I was afraid to leave the house to shop for food.  Jim has lost 10 pounds.

I read this today, and I thought any of us Moms would get a real kick out of this.  It's from our CWMoms website blog section.  Laugh and have a great weekend.

So the 4 year old comes downstairs the other morning...

as I'm getting ready for a party I'm going to have that afternoon, and out of the corner of my eye, I note that he's completely nude. Not that unusual for him, but usually he doesn't wake up and come downstairs naked, he usually waits until someone has pulled into the driveway, and then quick strips down to his underwear, just to check my reflexes. But this day, he's naked when he comes downstairs. So I just continue on doing what I'm doing, and he suddenly says, in a stern voice, laced with a bit of indignation, I might add, "Will you please LOOK at me?" So I turn my head, and look at him, and say, "Why are you naked?" He then looks at me with that look that I only thought TEENAGERS looked at their mothers with, and said, "Because I jutch tookted a bath last night, and YOU (pointing at me like Uncle Sam) didn't find me ANY clothes to wear!" To which I calmly replied, "No, YOU (pointing back at him) fell asleep on the couch, watching a movie, remember? You had all your clothes on when Daddy carried you up to your room." And his little face changed from consternation to uncertainty, to wonder in just a few moments, and he scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders and turned around and said, "Well, I'm not sure WHAT the hell happened then!" and went up to his room to get some clothes.

So there I am, all alone in the kitchen, the 18 year old is asleep in HIS room, Daddy's asleep upstairs, and I'm just laughing like crazy. I mean, REALLY! The look on his face was what I'd expect from a 21 year old college boy, wondering where he lost his shirt at a party last night, not from a 4 year old trying to understand his naked self! And I know, I know, I should have done SOMETHING about the "adult word" in there, but gosh, it's SO hard to appear convincingly disappointed in your child for saying that kind of thing when there are tears rolling down your cheeks and you're trying not to snicker. I mean, really, WHAT kid is going to take THAT seriously?

That boy is a constant source of amazement for me. Notice I did NOT say amusement. He amazes me. In just 4 short years, he's gone from this chunky little helpless baby to this, this, incredibly, frighteningly intelligent little human being who can, in the space of an hour make me so angry I can barely look at him without picturing him duct taped to the outside of the garage door, to making me laugh with his antics, and then make my heart melt with his sweetness! His imagination is SO far beyond my comprehension! He has, at times, played with three different pretend helicopters... making them do stunts and tricks, and he has three separate controllers for them, and he REMEMBERS which "controller" he set where... and what color the helicopters are, and it's incredible! He has more fun PRETENDING he's using a remote control truck than he actually HAS with the REAL remote control truck we got him for Christmas!

I just know, that if I can refrain from croaking him, this child is destined for big, big things in his life! I just have to figure out how to ignore things like the fact that right now, he's got a "coach's whistle" that he's snarfed out of his big brother's room, and I have to remember to put back before the 18 year old gets home from work and has a fit, and he is randomly just blowing in it SO hard, it makes my eardrums literally rattle! The cats have left the main floor of the house, pried open my closet door upstairs, and have made themselves a semi-sound proof room on the shelves in the closet. Maybe I'll just join them up there! Let him whistle till his lips fall off!

I knew someone would appreciate it as much as I did.  My boy is now 17 but I remember those days as though they were yesterday.  

Who needs pictures with a memory like mine......(except that period of time I was taking Dopymax)   ;)

Look on the bright side Mel - if you were an elephant you'd be pregnant for two years!

         Lmao @ you...


 Helen, My obstetrician said that to me when I was 10 days late....I almost came across the room and hit him with his stirrups.

It's no fun to be this pregnant.  It's uncomfortable...to put it mildly.

I wish I could breathe.

Post by Rosybabe on Feb 23rd, 2008, 3:52pm
talk to Ava, tell her you want to have her in your arms or at least to move a little bit so you can breath. Why don't you go to the nearest mall and walk for a couple of hours? The OB told me walking helps to speed up labor.

Wish I could Rosy but I'm out in the country and the nearest mall is a 30min drive.

I suppose I could pace the length of my house for an hour, lol.

Nah, I'm too fat and lazy! ;;D

Melly spicy food is supposed to bring on a labour - you want me to send you a recipe for a curry?!

Time to break out the chili - or hot sauce (Paul taught me how to make a fantastic one, I'm sitting here with some prawns and carrots munching my little heart out right now!)
Title: Re: Is Ava here?????
Post by Melissa on Feb 23rd, 2008, 4:29pm
Naw Helen, it's ok.  I made chili actually 2 nights ago, and it's always hot.  It was even too hot for Jesse this time, but I have no taste for it right now.

Actually, I'm not in a hurry to have this baby.  I'm just trying not to dwell on going into labor due to my anxiety and when it happens, it'll hopefully be an exciting surprise.  Until then, I'm just going through the motions.

Thank goodness I have my liniment spray to help with all the pain I'm in at night or else I'd just reach in there and grab her out myself right now!

:-*
