Re: August Mommies

We have a schedualed c/s date of July 30 so I guess I wont be an August Mommy!.......I have been feeling huge and uncomfortable the past week or so, so I am hoping July goes quickly!

Re: August Mommies

Girls....are your bags packed yet?? I need to get on this...I guess we should open the boxes of the co-sleeper and pack and play too! UGH...I feel like there is so much to do still.....

Re: August Mommies

Bags packed? Uh, yeah this is my second pg you think I would get on that since my son was 9 days early I am still trying to get my husband to take care of major stuff, hopefully this weekend will be more productive!!

Re: August Mommies

emc - you sound like me - my 1st was 3 weeks early and you'd think I'd be more ready. Life is just too busy these days. Also my fluid measured low a few weeks back (but appears ok now - have to double check next week) - that would be a sign I may go early!! I really hope to hold out to August...

Didn't even start thinking about the bag packing yet...maybe next week after my 36 week appt and see where they say I am....but then again I was not even a fingertip at my 36 week appt last time and my water broke 4 days later - 1st day of my 37th week!!

I still have a nursery to get set up and things to buy - we just got DS out of the nursery last weekend so now I have to get going on that and seeing what I have and still need.

Re: August Mommies

I only have one month from today to go!! AHH!!! I am due the 9th, it is getting scarier as I get closer!! I still haven't packed since I posted last...i am going to do it this week. I have my 36 week appt this week, then I assume I will start going weekly, right?? When do the internals start??? I want to know if there will be any more sonograms...guess I will ask at my appt tomorrow!!! How is everyone dealign with the heat? I went for a long swim yesterday in my pool...it was great to hang out and float. I felt so light! It was great!!!!

Re: August Mommies

bags packed... nope i guess I should get on that.

I dont even have a pediatrican yet.. I am so bad. I am working on that this week

what else... my shower is Saturday so I then will have the stuff.

I am taking a Baby Basics class on Sun.

I just took Lamaze last Sunday (7/8)

I am registered in the hosp. I called today

I need to make a list to bring to hosp.

I was told overnight pads are the best to bring to hosp. STOCK UP girls we will bleed for weeks.. ugh!

I think i need a hosp list.

I was also told to bring a robe

Re: August Mommies

I think I saved a hospital bag checklist...I will try to find it for you. I was told to bring a robe too...but they are not my thing so I am not doing it. Go with what you are comfortable with.
I have to check to make sure I am registered at the hospital...good one! I am meeting with a second ped soon, to make my final decision...I never thought choosing a dr would be so difficult!!!!
i am going to look for that list now!! :)

Re: August Mommies

HI ladies!
36 weeks this week, i have my sono and dr appt on thursday. I picked up some nursing tanks from target over the weekend, and flip flops for the shower, i still have to pack my bag and get everything else ready.

Re: August Mommies

Hey Girls!! Coming down to the wire finally!! Last night we washed all of the baby clothes, and put them away again. I just realized I need to clear a cabinet out so that I can put the baby bottles in there(I am not BFing). We still have to put together the bassinet, and stroller and put the carseat in(but DH is a police officer so I am not worried about that one). I am getting my car cleaned out this weekend so that I will have a nice clean car for the baby when he/she comes! I had some false labor contractions this past week so I am in full baby mode now. I feel like there is tons to do still, but I am not sure what it is. I have a million lists going which can be a little stressful. How are all of you doing????

Re: August Mommies

HI everyone....I am still not packed, but I did do severe cleaning in my kitchen this weekend to make room for all the baby stuff. I have washed her clothes and put it away. I just need to get the car seat in the car and get the stroller ready. I also have one more appt. with a pedi. next Monday. I can't believe it's almost here!!!!!

Re: August Mommies

Hi all!
Doing well here. I'm 34 weeks. Last week I had some false labor pains and they pretty much checked me all over - everything is fine but they discovered I have a short cervix. Don't really know what that means, maybe I'll go early maybe I won't. I would love to go about 2 weeks early (Aug. 15 if possible). There's more help around for me then...

Good luck to all us mommies!!

CRAP!!!! I've been so busy with the move that I forgot to look into pediatricians.

We are supposed to register with St. Charles? Did you fill out the paperwork and mail it in? I thought that was it. Help me Christine!!!!!!!!!!

I have a robe!!! I was told not to get pretty because it could get messy, so I found a thin black robe on the clearance rack at walmart. YES!!!! I did one thing!!!!

Re: August Mommies

we're almost there girls!!! i cant believe it...
we have everything pretty much ready. everything is out of the boxes and we assembled what needed to be. the infant car seat and base are not in the car yet, but DH will do that before he picks us up...
i have my next dr appt on thur so i will see if i still have to be on "bed rest"...hopefully there wont be much change bc i just cant picture being here in less than the 34 days i have until my actual due date...im sooo nervous!!!!!!

Re: August Mommies

It's coming up fast!!

I haven't had my shower yet!!! But I know it's this weekend (though it's supposed to be a surprise)...so I am sure that we'll be more prepared after that!

I did set up the pediatrician...I have to finalize day care, and pack my bag!!!

How is everyone else feeling??

Re: August Mommies

I am 35 weeks today. I haven't packed my bag yet but I should be soon. My last day at work is this Friday . I can't wait to be home and relax.

Re: August Mommies

i have my 37 wk appt tomorrow. i packed my bag this week and made sure i have everything. My house is still in need of a good cleaning which i hope to do tomorrow after the DR. I've been walking for about 45 minutes every night to try to get things moving, sex and wine are this weekend :)
I got a cold this week, yesterday was worse than today, but my head and ears are still really congested. Hopefully it will pass soon.
Im physically very ready to have this baby. i think there will always be "things to do" so im ready for him whenever he wants to come out.

Re: August Mommies

my shower was this past saturday but i do need some other things and have to return things now..

i saw the dr yesterday and i start internals in 2 weeks i cant believe it. i did not do wash yet but am organized and my hubby built a cabinet for all baby stuff in the kitchen so talented!!!

sooo my kitchen is clean and so is every room just keeping on top of things

time is gonna start to fly

Re: August Mommies

I too have my 37week appointment tomorrow. My bag is "somewhat" packed, I plan to get on this today since I won't be doing anything!!!

At my last appointment I was told I was 1cm dilated so let's see if there was any progression. I am soooooooooo ready for her to come out. I just really want my body back!!! LOL!

I am terrified...but there's no turning back now! 20 days left!!

Re: August Mommies

Hi girls- next month is it!!

I have my c-section scheduled for 8/20.

I have even THOUGHT about packing anything and probably won't do it until the weekend before.

I am sweating like a beast lately and can't stand it and insomnia is starting. Crampiness is happening more and more often and hurts sometimes.

I can't believe that in less than 5 weeks I will be holding my daughter! It has gone so fast, thanks to DS who keeps me super busy all the time.

Re: August Mommies

make that thre of us for having a 37 week appt tomorrow. Your girls have to update me on your status after the visit. I was just about 2cm last week.having lots of contractions - Monday nights were even that uncomfy/crampy ones - so I am watching everything waiting. Still have a to do list but working on it....I am hoping to make it to august 1st - we shall see what the dr says tomorrow...if I followed my first pregnancy - I would be going into labor tomorrow evening...first day of my 37th week - crazy to think we are that close now!

Re: August Mommies

I had my 37 week 4 day appointment yesterday. I am starting to have contractions but no dialation or effacement yet. I can walk and talk through the contractions but you can see my belly harden and release. It has been hapening for the past two days now. I hope it will help me make some progress.

Re: August Mommies

I'll be officially 38 weeks tomorrow. Two days ago, not much progression. Doctor said I'm still closed but probably 50% effaced. Guess that's better than nothing. Due date is Aug. 2nd. Can't wait!!!

Re: August Mommies

I have had some more contractions today, but still feeling good, and I have an appt next week. They will double check me then, and if all goes well, hopefully we will be on time. Although, they said that I could go at any time now due to the severe contractions I had last week. I am happy to be at 37 weeks which they told me is full term so I am ready to meet or
The suspense is killing me now though!!!
