Give her time. I feel hopeful she'll come out on her own. :3

Haha, Mellie. :XD

I am really hoping so... I go to the doctor tomorrow to see if I have progressed any further! I am hoping I am at a 4 because my mom burst my bubble and was like "I was at a 3 for a month with all of you" >.>;;

I've been having contractions (at least I think so) they feel like what contractions felt like when I was in the VERY VERY beginning of labor with the boys... SUPER light and if I am doing things I can't feel them at all... I am hoping they are more then Braxton Hicks... When I was having painful contractions they were just BH... then I went a week with no contractions and dilated to 2cm lol so we'll see!

I told Cole I think you're gonna pop her out this week. :3 Gonna send the package on Tuesday as we have an appointment Monday and I don't think we'll make it back in time for the post office.

You should get the bottle/nipple package tomorrow or Tuesday!

Do you really think so??

I should so start a thread taking bets on when or if she will come before the 22nd lol.... I'm pretty sure that is against a rule though lol.....

Yay I have this cuddly warm 3 year old warming me and listening to his baby sister :) though he has cold hands and toes so I think we are mutually using each other

I do think she's gonna come well before her due date, yep! :XD

Aww, too cute. <3

Well we'll see!

I'll give you the heads up when the stuff comes in!

Sounds good!

I have a short (6-8pg) research paper to do today. So far all I've managed is a sleeping baby on one arm. :gonk:

Oh I was pro at one handed paper writing.... So long as Mene didn't distract me >.>;; I was one handing it this morning cause I didn't want to sit up and I was using my other arm as a pillow ROFL...

It's like she senses days where I actually have to do something other than entertain her. :lol: Whenever I try to type one-handed, she flops over on that arm.

She's gotten good at sitting with me in the evenings and putting her feet on the laptop, just enough to make it impossible to type. Brat. XD

Sean was terrible I'd be nursing him and he reach backwards to try to type on the computer... He was only like a month old when he started doing that O_o

That, too! :lol: Aren't they little rascals? It's a good thing, though, as it shows they understand how to manipulate. Even if annoying, it shows smarts.

It is pretty amazing how fast they learn :) and how they learn it all!

OMG I just got adorable baby overload from looking at all of Terra's pictures!!! She looks like such a happy baby!!!

She is. She's super happy and definitely curious about everything around her. So long as she's fed and gets enough attention, the world is gold through her eyes. >_>

**whines** I want to get my house done... It's never done... :( I just want it clean already... I feel like I've been cleaning for months and nothing ever gets done :'(

ok off my sad panda train...

Now where did my husband go? He needs to help me get stuff off the office floor so I can finish up here... I don't think it should take long... It looks like a giant mess but really it is just all still in boxes from moving it out of Ellie's room MONTHS ago...


Terra is such a cutie! I went though like all your albums oogling her cute little pictures <3 All my older pictures of the boys are on Myspace :/ I think the oldest one I have is of Sean around the time he was probably 4-5 months....

So we're thinking the reason Owen is super cranky is because he's just switched from formula to milk. >.> Which makes sense. I don't remember my kids having an issue with it, but everyone is different. I looked it up online and it seems that a lot of people have had issues with lactose intolerance in babies while they try to switch.

I loved watching my babies learn to manipulate their surroundings and I think it's super cute that Owen is learning it now too. Even if it is driving his parents crazy by doing it. ;)

I'm lactose intolerant... It usually makes me gassy :sweat: but it will cause a massive tummy ache that I just normally whine through until it passes..... Though I think Ellie has made me full blown allergic :( I miss ice cream sooo much.... It would explain a lot! None of my kids have trouble with milk... I introduced it really slowly though... Sean finish the can of formula he had in between trying out milk... And Mikes nursed in between...

Burande's daughter shows signs of allergy to milk... She has since she was nursing too... When Burande would drink milk she would spit up soooo much... Now she gets little red welts where ever the milk (or it's products) touch her skin....But it doesn't seem to bother her tummy all that much!

Interesting I'll pass on the info so they know. Everything I was reading online was pretty much saying to introduce it slowly as well. They're planning on talking to their pediatrician about it soon too. Because ya know, that just sucks having a cranky baby. I think a lot of it is uncomfortable gassyness though.

Could you imagine being little though with a bubble in your tummy that you can get out and it hurts... :( Poor guy....

How are his sinuses, Mellie? Does he snort or seem to be stuffy or snotty? Rubbing eyes? That's another sign. Terra gets it, but I was prepared for it. We all have food issues.

She doesn't like cow's milk, and has only drank it twice (once we shared a glass--that seems to get her to try new things). She'd rather nurse. Either way it's a slow introduction. We try and give coconut-based yogurts, but she does eat the dairy stuff way more now than she used to!

Thanks Jaz! Your kiddos are quite gorgeous! And you'll have another one to add very soon. No matter how you slice it, she's coming soon!

Mellie Poofed :(

Thank you Chi... And yes she is coming soon!!!

I'm so excited for you, Jaz! Can't wait to see baby pictures when she gets here.

I am excited... and scared all bundled into one LOL

Totally normal, Jaz. Enjoy it!

Definitely normal. We all know labor isn't exactly... mm, well, it's not something we'd really choose to do at any given moment. :lol: But once it's through nothing else matters. Imagine those tiny little fingers and toes and soft coos, and the new baby scent...

awww that is going to make me cry :') I'm scared for the changes that another little one brings... lol... Labor scares me a bit too but mostly I am worried about finding my balance after she is born!
