I'd much rather have an episiotomy (though she said there hasnt been one done in this hospital in months) than a c-section, though!
My mom was induced for me and said I was a much easier baby to have than my brother. I think everyone is just too different to really lump things together.

I'm hurting all over right now, and have had no appetite today. Dh had to take ds11 to the dr today-coughing, vomiting (from drainage) but no fever. He is on antibiotics and cough meds. He and I have been laying in the bed for hours watching tv. I have so much to do, and no will to do anything.I didn't look at it as meddling at all. Thanks for the advice!

And now I've got that, too. He's not EVER moved this much!!
could have a dance off.
Check out banking, though. It's not bad and the hours are pretty consistant (since most banks have good hours!) and the benefits are amazing, I'll admit. My bank even paid my tuition for my Associates in Business Admin!Then I had to go and change my major to Elementary Ed....
(You can see which bank I work for on Facebook, it's one of the biggies and I know we're in Texas somewhere because my DM just transferred there! ) I 
everything, absolutely everything, about them. Except for the normal office drama you have everywhere (we're a 6-employee branch, it's impossible to keep things at bay!) it's a perfect job. I even love most of my customers, they're almost all elderly or farmers and truly great people.

Ahhh-- our company used to do that. They gave you an extra 2 weeks if you had a C-Section (I think it was exactly like you said, 6 or 8) but then they switched to automatic 12.
I think our requirements were 6months of "cash handling" experience and a diploma. I was hired when I was 18- with only 2 years of Burger King as experience. There is also a test that you have to pass to get an interview. It's a pretty good job, I do recommend! (just try to remember I work with FIVE other people in a teeny tiny branch whenever I'm cheering about now having to go back...

That was me. Natalie was going crazy last night. She kept rolling and kicking and punching. In fact, she is doing a pretty good job right now dancing. She and the banana
I know its making you feel sick, but I cannot wait to feel my little one move. . . I'm sure I'll say otherwise later, but I am a not jealous!!
About an hour after I posted that, it stopped.
Unfortunately, it stopped because my entire left leg cramped up and on top of being super swollen (because, of course, I told the Dr. yesterday I hadn't been having swelling issues for awhile) ... it was so cramped/tight/swollen I couldn't even wiggle my toes to work out the cramps.
I called DH, who was moving stuff to the other house, and was crying and gasping that I needed him to come home ASAP. ( I was in the recliner wtih the laptop on my lap and I couldn't move without causing another muscle to cramp, not even to get the laptop off my lap!)
I really wish I wouldn't have done that. He came running in the door, white as a ghost screaming for me.
He was engaged to someone else when he was in the Marine Corps.. She died, pregnant, in a car accident. I think everytime I wince/moan he thinks he's going to lose his family all over again...
Sounds like your DH has had a pretty tough time of it between that and the PTSD. He's lucky to have you by his side though : Don't feel too bad about scaring him. You were in pain and believe me, I know how bad those leg cramps hurt. Sometimes it feels like they're never gonna end! I'm sure he knows you weren't trying to freak him out, you just had a gut reaction to something that really is painful. Oh no! That's so sad
Well, I think I'm gonna head off to bed. I have my 4-d ultrasound at 9 tomorrow morning. I'm really excited about it! I have to be at work at 1 so I probably wont have time to share the pictures before I go in but I am off on Sunday so I'll put them up then. Have a nice night and a great Saturday everyone!

I can feel his little butt sitting right below my sternum. Hopefully Monday will be a good day for him.
Awww, just wait. It's amazing but it is painful sometimes. Especially when there are little feet or elbows digging into spots you don't remember having! DS has been moving non-stop since dinner. I think he's happy we had roast tonight but my ribcage could use a rest.
It was a quiet day! My feet were so swollen because it was hot. We didn't get to play outside much because my shoes didn't even fit. But I did get a ton of laundry done that can finally be put away until winter. I think we picked a paint color for DS2s room. It's called IcyBlue and looks nice with the fish theme. I really wanted to match the tan of the set, but I didn't want to go too dark. It's not a huge room to begin with, so the lighter the better. We'll see what DH thinks.
). My finger swelled up and turned purple, and dh threatened to cut them off. We finally got them off with butter, but it did hurt. So this time I just took them off about halfway and put them up. I can't wait to wear them again!
