It is exciting to be in July, isn't it? Since my estimated due date isn't until the 24th, I keep reminding myself that it is *possible* baby won't be here until August... but still I am excited :) I am doing tons of nesting (dear Lord, why does the furniture moving impulse only kick in once the belly is gigantic?) a *tad*…

congrats @sarah2002 on your "data collection"! so fun!

BOB! We have a single and now have the double! Worth every penny. I got my single new but then realized I could have saved a lot by looking on Craigslist. I was VERY picky about the condition, but found one that had been kept in the back of a car, not run too hard, in basically perfect condition. Some people use BOB…

@igottaworkout: praise the Lord to hear that baby turned! very cool. I will be praying about the fibroids too. @kellyknepperg: GOOD LUCK at the wedding. you are a true friend to take on being a bridesmaid at this stage. you will be so cute up there in a pretty dress and your tiny little tummy I am kind of excited that I am…

@ajzmann: congrats!!! So happy you were able to complete your 1/2! The last 1/2 I did this cute preggo gal was in front of me and I kept her in sight telling myself "come on, you can beat the preggo!". It was totally my dream to be that pregnant racer this pregnancy, alas it didn't happen. But that's okay, I am still power…

doing great @kcasey155!

Congrats on your new additon Rosy! And thanks for starting this thread, I was hoping there would be one! I too am interested to see what my initial drop in weight is... But thank you for the "warning" that it may not be as big as initially expect! I bet you are right on with your observation that swelling + milk coming in…

@igottaworkout : you are doing great. A lot of women would LOVE to have only gained 18lb at 34 weeks (including me!) you are so close to the end and your fitness will be back in no time!! Have fun at your shower today and don't worry about practice contractions - your uterus is gearing up for its big work out! And you can…

and also - running outside makes mommy AND baby happy! it is the perfect way to get through that hard part of the afternoon after naps but before dinner! my daughter LOVES going for runs :)

@ajzmann: worth every penny!! there is no way I could have gotten back into shape without it. I trained for two 1/2 marathons with the single and plan to keep it up with the double. you can even get an infant carseat attachment so that the baby can go in right away. the "recommendation" is that you wait until baby has head…

Yay! We got our double BOB revolution this week! Our single BOB has been extremely well loved and used to the point I wonder if it has any resale value left, LOL. The double looks so pretty and new in comparison - and we actually found it on craigslist! I am thankful that most of our runs my husband does the stroller…

just ordered my homebirthing kit! this is getting real! gah! can't wait! okay, I can wait, because I don't want to go into labor at 34 weeks. hehe. you know what I mean! oh, and now that I am off work I get to rest each afternoon while my toddler naps - that is when I have been listening/practicing with my relaxation CD!…

@kelly thanks! We are really excited!

I am 34 weeks, getting ready and excited for baby #2. My birth will be an HBAC (home birth after cesarean) and I am VERY hopeful that what I am learning through hypnobirthing will be the key to a wonderfully different birth than the first time. I did not know anything about birthing without fear the first time, I have…

@rosy03: your story sounds just like mine! i ended first pregnancy in the 160s also on pretty short 5'2'' frame. I will most likely be into the 140s this time, but thats okay with me! you are doing great, keep it up!
