What's Up Physically This Week? huge & stretch marks are starting to come in all over the place!
What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? Feeling clingy & needy... husband is feeling 'independent'. This leads to an unhappy pregnant woman.
What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Just started a new book by Wally Lamb (not pregnant related)
Random Things Of Note? Had my consult with neonatology Friday and I feel a ton better about everything. Efren has the 'best case scenario' as far as Hydronephrosis goes. Luckily nothing he has dealing with the Hydronephrosis will cause them to have to take him away from us right away after birth.
How old is your baby this week? exactly a week old today!
What's up with you emotionally & mentally this week? i am exhausted. completely. i am tired of people parading in and out of my house and my MIL is driving me nuts. she is sweet but i have to repeat everything to her over and over and then she asks my man the same damned questions and she didnt understand at first why i couldnt let jack sleep through the night. uhm hello he was really sick and almost died.. he is on a very very strict feeding schedule!
What has been your biggest challenge this week? it was tonite! jack is so gassy and he is so hard to burp sometimes! i feel horrible especially when my patience wears so thin that i can't concentrate or stay awake enough to breast feed.
Random things of note? i truly as i said in my earlier post thank god for vibrating bassinets
thank god for joel and i having our own house! it's when she visits! she is super nice and super sweet but she doesnt listen and right now i dont have patience for her. she asks me a question five times then asks joel then asks me all over again and i felt like i had to fight with her to get her to let my son sleep. he is on a demanding sleep/eating schedule due to his jaundice and she was all "my pediatrician said they can sleep as long as they want"
... yea her pediatrician 26 years ago with her two healthy full term babies
oh geeze, It's hard because they think they know everything since they've 'been there and done that' but its so different from back then & plus like you said, you have strict feeding/sleeping schedules!
I don't know if it's a good thing, or a bad thing, but my nearest family is 6 hours away, so we'll be by ourselves with the baby when he arrives mostly ( my parents & brother are coming out for 4 days at Thanksgiving).
What's Up Physically This Week? drained. Everytime I resign to the fact I'll be pregnant until mid-november I start having tons of mucus/contractions and end up sleeping like crap and waking up feeling like poo.
What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? I'm sort of stuck when it comes to meet obligations (school stuff for my oldest, halloween stuff etc) because I don't know when I'm going to have the baby
What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? I sleep when I normally would do this lol.

Ugh, yes, THIS. Everyone expects everything to proceed exactly as normal up until the moment I push the baby out... and I sort of get the feeling it's supposed to go back to normal within a day or two. um, no.
What's Up Physically This Week? Lots of stabbing back pain last night, contractions, headache, just a general "blah" feeling.
What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week? So ready to have this baby. I honestly cried the other day thinking it could be early December by the time I have my baby girl. :(
What Are You Reading - Books, Magazines, Web Sites? Nothing. Too fed up to read anything but web sites.
Random Things Of Note? Please baby girl... please come early. :(
Seriously! I shed a little tear every time I think about it. Walks and sex every day BETTER get things going. lol. I'm sending this kid an eviction notice in a couple of weeks! She'll come out soon if she knows what's good for her. :P
I keep going from random stretches of no contractions to feeling nauseous, full of contractions, emptying my bowels so I think - this is it! and then nothing...sigh.
SO.TIRED. And my belly is now pulling down so much on my back that it hurts to walk around too.
What's Up Emotionally & Mentally This Week?
I go back and forth from 'want.baby.out.' to 'omg, what would it be like if the baby were HERE right now?' so I am really nervous about the life-change I guess. Everyone (other kids, husband) is excited, but I can't help but get worried that everything will be okay adding this other person to our family and making sure I do everything 'right'.

Just lj and plurk mostly...I keep starting and stopping contractionmaster.com :P
Random Things Of Note?Yesterday was my 12th wedding anniversary, and if you told me I was going to be 38 weeks pregnant that day when I got married, I'd have
( ... )
Congrats on your anniversary. My due date is November 20th and my wedding anniversary (3rd) is on the 19th! I'm really hoping he doesnt arrive on that day, lol!!!

Um I HOPE but I have no idea, SOMEONE will, trust me, if they don't get a bag of candy I have a feeling a new sister will fill the void.

I'm also getting a LOT of bowel movements...which doesn't seem to accomplish much beyond depleting our tp supply. Sigh
