I saw this picture in someone's siggy and thought of you...

Haven't seen you around in a while. How are things going?
Re: Mary
That is HILARIOUS- I just e-mailed it to my sister because she?s having a bad day.
I?m good thanks- I usually stop over to check out the board at the end of the day M-Thur before I leave work? like right now. I need to try and get back to posting more. Taking pregnancy one day at a time- I thought I would enjoy it more than I am? thought it would be all ?craving a milk shake at 11pm? kind of thing and it hasn?t- maybe I was just naive to think that. We?ve had some bumps along the way and all it's making me want to do is have a healthy baby come Nov. How are you?- Parker turns one soon doesn't he?! Hard to believe it's been a year already.Hopefully it will put a smile on your siters face!
I didn't have one craving my entire pregnancy. Rusty never made a late night grocery store or drive thru run. I had my fair share of bumps too. I had to have an u/s every week for the last 10 weeks and that got really old, especially the worrying. Try not to stress about things too much.
Parker turns 1 on the 21st. I can't believe he will be a toddler soon. You don't really understand what people mean when they say that kids grow up so fast until you are there. What day in November are you due?
I think it doesn?t help my best friend had her first baby in October and had the smoothest pregnancy and delivery EVER- no morning sickness, no heartburn, no concerns on any of her ultrasounds- just easy peasy and then went to the hospital- pop- out came baby fine as can be? my road has been bumpy and curvy and I think we might join the ?one and done? club after this!
I?m due Nov 15- which is my Birthday. We were joking yesterday if the baby comes Nov 14 I'll need to call someone other than my husband or family to take me to the hospital because everyone will be watching the Packer/Viking game...
Any fun plans for Parker?s Birthday??
That is too bad. We are here for you if you want to talk about things. Someone might have gone through something similar to you and they might have some advice. You never know!
When my 16 year old cousin was born there was a Chiefs game on and the doctor ended up having to turn the TV off to get my uncle to pay attention. If you are in a bind I can make the drive in 8 hours!
Nothing big for his birthday. We are just having immediate family over on Saturday the 20th. We have a double header kickball game on Sunday (his actual bday) and we are going to have our friends over after the games for just some pizza and beer.
Yeah I should reach out because I feel like I?ve been avoiding the boards and telling friends about stuff because I hate saying that I?m not enjoying being pregnant. It?s not that I?m not enjoying that we?re having a baby and I feel so lucky that we are able to have a baby- it?s just I had NO idea I would worry about this sweet little baby so much before they even got here.
My family are huge football fans and living in MN being a cheesehead we take that game in particular very seriously. That is hilarious the doctor had to turn the TV off so your Uncle would pay attention. I could see that being my reality!
That sounds like fun b-day plans. Get to celebrate all weekend! Hard to believe people?s babies are turning 1 already.
Just out of curiosity I created a poll on the August 2010 Moms board. Once people start responding go check it out...

Hi Mary! Good to "see" you. I've been thinking about you and your pregnancy and wondering how things are going. Hang in there.
Well that's good to see- I like the girl who commented she wants her own body back!!
Hey! How are you feeling?? Did you pick out paint and bedding for your nursery?
I'm feeling pretty good overall. We aren't going to paint the nursery - it's a neutral colour. Just do art work and probably some decals. Still no bedding. My mom is coming to visit on Monday so we are going to hit up the fabric store and sew a crib skirt and some fitted sheets.
That's awesome- I'm going to the fabric store with my MIL in a few weekends to pick out fabric for curtains, sheets and a bed skirt too. I couldn't find anything I like!
