    Sarah - At least Paciugo is less fattening then regular ice cream...you gotta find the silver lining! :-p

    Plus calories don't count when you are with friends ;) 

  • Angie, H and I have Galaxies and really love them.  H has played around with his and customized it a little more than I have, but I don't think I'll ever go back to the iPhone!

     Re: Labor.  I think at the time of delivery I'd just want Andy and doctors/nurses there.  Afterward I don't think I'd care in the slightest.  Just let me cuddle my baby.

  • imagesuperMcG:

    The stuff I didn't love about my first delivery, I changed with my second. I labored naturally longer, I stuck up for myself and insisted that I be allowed to walk around and eat and sit on the med ball during contractions. All of that helped so much. Flat on your back is about the least natural way possible for your body to labor productively, so I avoided it as long as possible. 

    This.  X 1000.

    Awww, I love my Iphone!  Don't tell me what I'm missing--ignorance is bliss.

  • Thanks for the phone input.

    I only want J in the room, and even then, he will be up by my head, with no view.  We have couple-friends and the husband wanted to be in the waiting room and have the doc run out and holler if it was a boy or a girl, but she nixed that idea real fast.  I'd almost be okay with that, if I didn't feel like I'd be cheating J out of the experience, and if I didn't think I was such a pansy that I'll really need the support.

    (Although, I want to know if it's a boy or girl long before delivery... I just mean the in-the-waiting-room part.)

  • Just Bill.  And medical people.
  • Chelsea, I was FINALLY able to look at your shoot that you did in California (that was how long ago *blush*) and you looked so great and happy in the video.  How sweet of Mack to send you flowers and chocolate covered strawberries.

    Labor-  Ideally, I would love for it to be just DH the entire time because I would like some 'us time' afterwards and he is the one person who does not stress me out (even my own grandma would stress me out because she'd be all "ahhh") and don't want to deal with anything beforehand.  I worry about being overwhelmed as it is so I want it to be in a chill environment; I do know people will not be there to see me.  I definitely just want it to be DH during the delivery.  

  • Julie: Great call on the dress. Red suits you (and prom).

    Birth: When it came time to choose, I just wanted my husband in the OR for delivery. He did get to announce the gender to me, and then to everyone in the waiting room. It was really cool, but I admit I was jealous that I couldn't see the reactions.

  • I'm going with just Jeff. I can see my mother trying to get in there, but I know he would stop her. He claims he can't handle it and he's just going to send MIL in. I explained as nicely as possible if he did there would be conquences for those actions.
  • Thanks, girls, for the thumbs up.  I appreciate it.

    Deepthi,

    Of course I will share my signature color. 

    Normally, by now, I would be home, propping my feet up and visiting with Judge Judy, but I have late meeting with a new DJ for the prom tonight and he can't be over here until 7 PM.  So I have to hang out for another three hours.  I'm so bored and I didn't bring my iPad or my laptop because of the rain this morning since I didn't want to carry in any more crap.  

    Andplusalso, there is no new Revenge tonight either.

    New episode, repeat, new episode, repeat.  I'm getting tired of the back and forth.  Pick one and be done with it.  

     

    All the labor talk is reminding me of The Office episode where Pam deliver's Ceecee.  

    I just came across the cutest tape dispenser in a catalog.  It's a shoe!  http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Dispenser-Magic-Inches-C30-SHOE-B/dp/B004LP6NLK

    The 2 food blogs that I subscribe to were about GM's today.

    I have that on my desk at work!  It's cute to look at, but I wouldn't recommend it.  It's not weighed down so you have to use two hands (gasp!) to pull a piece of tape off of it.

  • I was killing time at Staples tonight waiting to meet with a DJ and I saw those shoe tape dispensers.  They were so cute!!!!
  • I know I'm a day late now but wanted to update with my doctor appointment yesterday.  I was there forever.  They tested to make sure I wasn't allergic to something new.  They ran a few other test that I'm not 100% sure what they were looking for but all came back normal and finally they took a lot of blood and they are checking my liver/bile function because there is some really long named condition pregnant can get and it pretty much is my liver sends the bile to my bloodstream instead of my intestines and it is forming chrystals in my blood and causing me to itch.  This can hurt little Caroline because she isn't getting some of my nurtrients and her liver can start to mimick mine and cause her liver failure.  If I do have whatever the long name condition is they will have to induce me early.  I will know the results and plan Monday at my next appointment.

    Regarding delivery:  It will be David and my mom in the room plus the doctors/nurse.  David didn't want to be there at first because he said he's done it before and didn't handle it to well and I hit him in the head and told him just because he has done it before it was with another woman and he can handle it just stay by my head and help me through it. My mom will be in there becasue she is more understanding and caring during these times and I will need someone when David passes out.

    ANGIE:  I have the Motorola Atrix and I love it.  I couldn't wait to get rid of my iPhone and I love this phone.  Android is the way to go.  I have heard great things about the Galaxy and I think that is what David is getting next.

  • Oh wow, Dana glad you might have an answer.  Keep us posted!

    As in, next week?

  • Dana,

    I hope everything is okay!  One of my bridesmaids had a similar situation where her son was pushing on her liver and causing similar problems (I think.  I never heard about her being itchy).  Mom and baby are both happy and healthy, so don't worry!

  • Surprisingly not too worried.  Now that we are getting answers and she isn't at serious risk unless we go over 39 weeks I'm good.  I'll be 37 weeks Monday.  The NP I saw yesterday said my doctor would go over more Monday but she doesn't think we will have a little one until Feb still.  She is thinking week 38 or very beginning of 39.  DH is still kinda pulling for a Valentine's baby so he is hoping they wait until the 13th to induce me so we have a better chance of the 14th.  He said of course he will be happy with whatever day as long as we are both happy and healthy.
