That's fuuun! :lol:

Yes, it's the first baby. He will be sooooo spoiled. He's not only OUR first baby. He's pretty much THE first in all our relations in the family :lol: . Aunt Gwen already said 'Oooh, at our motorbike event September 2nd I already know what I'm doing.' MIL said 'Yeah? What's that then?' Aunt Gwen was like 'Of course, holding Stef's baby.' I was like 'Great, I get to ride with my husband again.' :lol:

I think, my time is Eastern time, but I'm not sure. We live in PA... so I think, it's Eastern.

Thanks for this poll. Do I get to guess, too?

Yep Steph we are Eastern Time

I am so happy for you, do you have the nursery all decorated?

No, unfortunately not :( . This is because we had the baby shower at my MIL's house, with glutenfree cake of course :rolleyes: , and everything we got didn't fit into my car. So Lukas and I got like two car loads of goodies :lol: . And we had to leave my husbands truck up there, because his dad wanted to repair something in it's engine (he is the owner of a machine shop, so it's for free). So, everything we got didn't fit in the car, especially not the baby crib and the drawer/cupboard, whatever you call it. Then the bassinet is still up there and some other stuff. We will get it down here, when the truck is fixed, which already took like 16 days so far. So I hope we will get everything soon. <_< And then I will get going here like a whirlwind. But I already did some small stuff. I maybe can post some pics soon, if I have the time...

Just wanted to let you guys know. Nothing so far! I had to go to the bathroom tonight for the first time in this pregnancy due to pressure on my bladder. Might be a sign, that the head is engaged and putting pressure on. Then I woke up to very slight tension in my back. Felt like a kidney problem :o . No real pain, just disturbing for a while. 1 hour later it was gone. I've had disturbing pressure on my pubic bone all day, even now as I'm writing this. So I hope, something will start here soon. I don't know though. Could be being sore from working out and having loose ligaments and joints at this point in life as well.

Good night. I'll let you know, if anything changes as soon as I can.

Sounds like things are on the move. Could be another week or so though.

I'll be looking for updates. Gotta live vicariously through you gals that are expecting now. :)

My predictions are

21 inch long

7lbs9.2oz

time of birth 2:15am on Aug 26 sorry unless you have sex with your husband alot, sperm has some kind of magic on getting contraction to happen

I think that you will go fast because you are in shape maybe 8hrs

without pitosin, which will be easier

no drugs, natural all the way, maybe some Demorol to take the edge off at the very end at 8-9cm works like a charm gives you enough rest for the finally.

When you do have your baby if something does not look right and the nurses are not feeling you about your concerns then get someone who will. I work with newborns I'm not a nurse but I have seen baby not looking right color and all making noises that they are not suppose too, like grunting sounds cute to someone who does not know that the noise is wrong. so if you don't feel comfortable about your baby send him the nursery between feeding at first and then ease him in back to your room to get to know him, let the nursery staff take care of him especially if your are tired, if he winds up big like over 8lbs let him have a little forumal if you are breastfeeding your colosterum yes is enough but sometimes not enough for a big baby. Hope you have a great birthing experiance.

How are you hanging in Stef? Anything yet? We're still 18 days and counting over here.

Hi there, 9 days left and still nothing. Sometimes I feel pressure from the baby trying to expand and he puts the pressure either on the front of my belly or down. And even though, the pressure is slightly uncomfortable, I try to support him in putting the pressure down there. In the hope, maybe something (like the mucous plug) plops out :lol: .

I will hop over to your poll in a second, Angie! Just hang in there! I'm still counting, too!

She's naming him Lukas. Isn't that beautiful? I believe her full name choice was Lukas Alexander. Sounds so regal, doesn't it? :)

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
