Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

37w5d and 20lbs

I'm still here.  Still pregnant.  No signs of labor whatsoever.  Baby still riding high.  At the end of the day I feel very crampy (period-like), but I think it's just my body being grumpy about being 36 years old, full term pregnant, and chasing after two other crazy boys all day long.  I've had the evening crampiness 3 nights in a row now and nothing materializes overnight and I feel completely "fine" in the morning.  (Fine being relative of course.)

I feel like I probably have another week (at least) to go.  I'm trying to be patient.  Patience is not something I'm good at.

In other news, I hit the 20lbs weight gain mark.  I was hoping to stay at closer to 15lbs (remember I started overweight), but considering how swollen my feet have gotten in the last 7-10 days I can't say I'm really surprised and if I stay pregnant for another 7-10 days I'll probably gain another 5-10 in water weight pretty easily.  :/
