Wow its been awhile. I have been so busy ltely it seems like forever since ive been on Mylot. I had a friend from out of town visiting so I have been so busy hanging out with her. And my other friend had her baby so I was visiting them as well. Seeing her little girl so made me what to have my Savanna I just cant wait. Right now I have about six more weeks to go but its getting where i can barely stand up so we will see if I go six more weeks. So what is going on in all my friends lives I havent really been able to keep up to date on everything (sorry)?

Hi minnie, It's good to see you back here. I'm glad you've had the chance to spend time with your friend. I'm sure your six weeks will just fly by, if you make it that long. I'm looking forward to your dad's and your related discussions. As for me, I've been going through a couple of things of late, that aren't the greatest, to say the least. They are ongoing. On the positive side, my daughter and I leave for a week with my sister and her family, next Monday. We've already had one week with them, at the beginning of July. I can't wait, as I really need to get away. Please take care of yourself, and don't overdo. These final weeks should be a time for you to be pampered. Hugs.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to a relaxing time. I'm glad to hear that you've been just resting. This is definitely the time to do it. I can remember before my daughter was born, I was so tired and uncomfortable. She was nearly two weeks late, so there wasn't much I could do but relax.

It sounds like you have been having a good time with friends. My grandson has been here for a visit and my daughter come this past Saturday to get him and to spend some time with us also. They will be leaving tomorrow to go back home and I am sure going to miss them. I hope the next six weeks go by fast for you, I know all of ya'll are very excited for your daughter's arrival.

I bet you will miss them alot thats the part that sucks is your guests have to go back home at some point. I know I was trying to keep my friend from leaving i told her I ws gonna go into labor the day she was gonna leave so she has to stay a few more days. That means i better get to work i only have till tomarrow lol.

Wow six weeks to go, I cannot believe that, it has gone so fast! It will not be long before you are telling us that you have had her. Or your Dad will! I have not really been up to anything exciting, weather has not been great again this summer meaning that we have not been able to do much while the kids have been off school but they have found a friend that they have been going off to play with everyday so they have had fun!

It has went pretty fast too bad these last few weeks arent going as fast. Im pretty sure my dad will beat me to it seeing they will be making me stay at the hospital with no computer lol. Bad weather is no god i know that its either raining or too hot here this summer most the time.

Glad to hear you are doing alright. I remember that stage where one gets bigger than one ever imagined. Hard to believe the stomach can stretch out that much, lol. My last was big and four days overdue before he was born. I could place a dinner plate on my stomach, lol. Enjoy the time you have left that you can spend with your friends. Once the baby is born you'll be busy busy busy... and tired.

Hi Minnie! I was wondering where you have been, Luckily your dad posts often so he would have told us if you had the baby. Did you have your baby shower? If so, I'd love to hear about it!

Silly Me - Heres me at my baby shower.
Yeah it ended up being a very small baby shower but it was fun. My friend had her baby the day before the shower so we lost a few guests due to that lol. We ended up cutting it short and brought the baby shower to the hospital as it was supposed to be for both of us. I ended up just wearing a silly red fuzzy hat as it was easy i didnt feel like doing alot of work.

Glad you're back even if just for a bit. I know busy, so I really understand. SOmetimes I don't have a chance to come here for quite some time as well. But it's always nice when we have a chance to sit down and relax in front of the computer reading and answering discussions.

Part of me hopes so cause I dont know how much of this I can handle. But the larger part of me wants her to stay in as long as possible i want her healthy. But she seems pretty big and my doctor is going by the later date my ultrasound has me at about 37 weeks instead of 34 so that could be all the difference.

I told you she is getting excited to meet her family....but we do want her to be a healthy little girl!

You have nothing to apologize for! We all have lives to live so, if we can't always be on myLot, who can blame us? As for me...there really isn't much of anything interesting to talk about. Seriously...nothing! I am doing the daily grind. Work, home, make dinner, eat, watch tv, go to bed and do it all over again the next day. Sorry! About the only exciting thing is that the hubby and I will finally be getting new kitchen counters. We are looking at Silestone. We also plan on replacing the sink and having back splashes put in too. So, once we get out and finally start looking for that stuff, I will be a little excited. I have had birthdays to shop for. Practically everyone I know and am related to has a birthday in August or September. So, it is an expensive time of the year for me. LOL! Anyway, that is about it. Take it easy and try to keep Savanna hanging in there for another 6 weeks!

Remodeling is always nice in the begining and the end its that middle part that is a pain in the bum lol. I dont want to keep her in for six more weeks she really wants out lol. Actually my doctor has me at 34 weeks but my ultrasound is more like 37 weeks but ive been known to have a bigger baby so she decided to go by the later date which sucks. But if she comes now they wont be too worried at all.

Yea...I am not looking forward to the middle part. But, I look forward to the end result! It will be gorgeous...if I could just find the color and pattern I am looking for! LOL! I am glad to hear that if Savanna comes early, it will be ok. These days aren't like when I was a baby. I was 5 to 7 weeks premature and it wasn't as easily dealt with back then. Now, no biggie! So, basically, Savanna already shares your impatience? LOL!
14 Aug 08
Wow you have been busy!! Just think you will be even more busier in 6 weeks, when Savanna is here!! Its hard when friends come to visit, you get side tracking with them and then your other friend has had her baby too!! Bet you cant wait to have little mother meetings with her!! Well Ive had workmen doing my kitchen and bathroom. They have been around for 5 weeks now and are at the finishing odd job stage!! My mum came up 2 weeks ago for the day, to have a girly natter and catch up. i went shopping on tuesday to meet some old school friends. It was nice to have some girly time!! Hope the six weeks passes quickly for you and you will have to let us know when Savanna arrives. Take care x

Yeah busy is definatly in my future. Me and my friend cant wait to get together one of our friends got our girls matching outfits it will be so cute. I hate when work is being done it disrupts everything at least they are almost done.
14 Aug 08
Matching outfits!! How cute, you will have to post a photo of them both!! Having work done is a pain, but its worth it. Hopefully it should all e done by tuesday but then we will have to wait for the men to do the windows as we havent got double glazing in all rooms yet!! A whole transformation of the house!!

I too seem to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life; but I always end up being drawn back to this site when things settle a little! As for what has been going on with me? Pretty much same old, same old! All I seem to do is work, rest for a day or so and then back to work! I have though travelled to the US, UK and Turkey for business in the last two months so I guess this is a little extra-ordinary compared to usual! I do generally travel a lot for work but this year has been a little quieter on that front than usual.

Yes I was wondering where you were and was wondering if you had had your baby yet. So you're naming your girl Savanna...what a beautiful name. Well I bet the six weeks might seem to drag now but you never know they might whiz by instead. Your dad is definitely going to have to have discussions about when Savanna does make her appearance to the world..just bet he'll be photographing like crazy

Nice to have you back! I know how you feel with the pregnancy thing. During my last two months, I walked hunched over. My circulation was bad. My muscles were sore all the time. And it felt like someone was constantly sticking me in my back. As for me, I started out August with best intentions to get some non-Mylot work done. Maybe getting some more ebooks published. Instead, I hit my 7000 mark on Mylot and developed Carpel tunnel symptoms in both hands. Now when I type more than an hour a day, my hands hurt. Lately, I've been watching lots of TV shows online. I have missed so much of the Olympics, it's not even funny. And I was looking forward to them. We don't have cable. And our local reception is not clear. I was hoping to find coverage online. But so far, no luck. Oh, yeah, I forgot. We got a new orange kitten about three days ago. My daughter is in love with the kitten. Best of luck with your baby. Post pics when you can!
