@suesposa, @annbuhdahn - it took DD1 about 4 weeks to stop hurting me. It can be a haul but it definitely gets better. DD2 never hurt me. I got spoiled!
((Hugs)) blueinred - I really hope your mom does make it out soon to meet her new grandson when he's here! Have you mentioned how much it would mean to you if she did? I know my mom doesn't get subtle clues or anything that's considered common sense to the average person at all - I always have to spell everything out for her.

blueinred , that is really frustrating. I can relate in a small way but it's mostly related to the fact that my brothers all live near each other and my mom has a condo in their city, plus she doesn't get along well with my husband. So she will chalk up her not-visiting to the expense of having to get a hotel and the uncomfortableness of clashing with my husband, but she is always going up to my brothers' places to look after their kids. And by the way, I've lived here in SoCal for 10 years now and not one of my three brothers has come to visit us just for the sole reason of visiting us. It's been like "Hey I'm here for a wedding!" or "hey I'm in town for a conference, let's hang out". Cue sadface
joy we have the same due date and every time you mention we could still be pregnant around Labor Day it gives me such anxiety, ha!
I was having a dream last night that I was telling someone a really hilarious story that was making me want to pee my pants with laughter. I started peeing in the dream and was running to the bathroom, then woke up realizing I was actually peeing. I wear a pad all day long anyway and have just started continuing to wear one at night because apparently I cannot control my bladder at any time. *sigh*....
Other than that, feel ok today but still nauseous as heck. Couldn't eat dinner last night, just tums.
Hugs to you too frodabaggins - I've lived in this area (which is only 120-130 miles south of where I was born & raised) for a little over 10 yrs and no one seems to want to visit or even "meet up" when they're in town (I've gone up on numerous occasions). But I've learned to be ok w/ it. Actually the folks who offer empty promises of coming to visit or wanting to see us when they do come to town don't even know I'm pregnant lol! I know it's more difficult when it's family though. Oh and gotta love those peeling dreams!! Lol!!!!! I tend to dream that I'm frantically looking for a bathroom, find one but then still feel like I need to pee! Then I wake up and barely make it in time 😜 And hope the nausea passes soon!

It's so quiet in here today. Only two pages for randoms seems low!
Is everybody off having babies?
That's what I was wondering!! Who's having a baby and not telling us!? Although it does feel like we've gotten through many of our august babies in just the first few weeks and there are not as many pregnant peeps left.

We're in this together. lennonkdc is also with us. We used to have steph, too, but she left us.
I have heightened anxiety about the kid being born before September 1st for two reasons: 1. Um, get out of me. I will feel like I've failed as an August 2016er if my kid isn't born in August (illogical, I know); and 2. school cut offs. I have a lot of feelz on red-shirting kids and I don't want to be pigeon-holed into making a decision.

I'm here too! And I was very relieved to find out that our district cutoff is October 1st - I would have begged for an induction if we were looking at after cutoff.

I wish!! But sort of. I stated having contractions about 3:00am and then they let up about the Time I woke my husband. So I payed down for a few hours and they seemed to pick back up. So we headed to town about 8:00. I've been in a L&D room for nearly seven hours. I was at a four when I got here and am still at a four. But they are still watching me because I don't live in town and it takes longer to get to the hospital. Seriously, they told me they may keep me untill tomorrow morning and IF still no change they will send me home.
Seriously, keep me that long don't let me eat, keep me from my daughter, then don't send me home with a baby in my arms!!! I'm going to be pissed.
My husband is being heavily recruited by a company in VA. They just called with an offer and we would have to move in October. I'm having all sorts of feelings over finding housing, physicians, and daycares while I'm on maternity leave. Related note: anyone have any opinions on Charlottesville, VA?

penny2103 Charlottesville is gorgeous! We have good friends who live there and they love it. We actually looked into moving there a few years back, but the teacher salaries were not great.

It could always change though, right? Ours is September 1, but had changed from December 1 just a few years ago.
shanny theoretically yes, but it has been the same forever. I still would love to make it under the wire and have an August baby.
Definitely. Those sorts of cutoffs are very annoying. My daughter is an early October baby. When we were kids, it wasn't that hard to get school districts to let kids in early...things are very different now.
joy, our school cut off is August 1st, so I was happy that this baby showed up on 7/26! DD1's birthday is 8/29 so next year I will have to decide whether to try to test her in or wait until she is 6 to start kindergarten. So I understand wanting to hit that deadline!
DD3 hasn't been sleeping as well the past few nights. I am so tired. I had to go out and get coffee and a large iced tea to get some caffeine earlier. Then DD2 has decided not to nap for the past four days, and my iPad died today... Yeah. I'm ready for it to be the weekend so DH is home from work to help!
I'm pretty sure our cut off here is "by the first day of school". Which is the week following Labor Day each year. Absolutely DNW to deal with that mess in theory, let alone being in your position. C'mon, baby Joy! Clear up some of this anxiety for us, mmkay?

Phildelphia makes no exceptions: must be five on or before September 1st.
A lot can happen in five years, of course. But, I want to decide what's right for my kid and not some arbitrary date on the calendar.
My OB told me that baby K needs to change positions or there's a chance they'll have to do a vertical csection. I'm open to all advice on how to get a transverse (sideways) baby head down. In better news my restrictions are all lifted since I'm 37 weeks tomorrow.
Definitely look at the spinning babies website for specific suggestions, but off the top of my head:
I remember reading somewhere that breech babies (and I assume, transverse) are rare in developing countries because women there spend much more time in non-reclined positions, so because this was a particular worry of mine, I've tried to make sure that whenever I'm sitting down/relaxing, I'm still keeping my torso fairly vertical - lots of pillows behind my back. I also usually sleep on a pretty steep incline (again - lots of pillows!) both to encourage baby to get/stay head-down and to keep him outta my ribs! If you have an exercise ball, I think they suggest "vigorous pelvic circles", and trying to keep your knees lower than your pelvis when you're on it. When sleeping, if you don't already, keep a pillow or a couple of pillows between your legs, to keep your pelvic area as wide open as possible. No idea how much of this actually works, but I don't think any of it can hurt! Good luck!
