Whit4you | Friday, November 08, 2002 - 06:42 pm     She said on the 3rd she was having contractions - any one know? |
Yuhuru | Saturday, November 09, 2002 - 06:37 am     I haven't heard Whit, but if she has had the baby it's pretty early. I think she's only ~35 weeks(?) |
Whit4you | Saturday, November 09, 2002 - 12:22 pm     35 weeks = 9 months right? I was just wondering she said she was having contractions last week and I haven't seen her on the boards since soooooo |
Yuhuru | Saturday, November 09, 2002 - 01:09 pm     Pregnancy technically lasts for 40 weeks. I have 2 more months to go, and I thought that Jewels was only 1 month ahead of me. I'll check our previous discussions to confirm. |
Sia | Saturday, November 09, 2002 - 02:11 pm     Thanks, Yuhuru, for offering to update us; I've been wondering about Jewels, too. How are you feeling, Yuhuru? Hope you're well. Hugs, love, and prayers to Jewels and Yuhuru and all expectant-mommies! |
Jewels | Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - 09:46 am     I'm still here! Thanks for thinking of me though. I have 4 more weeks to go. Contractions are still coming and going, so I have just been taking it easy and resting alot. I have a dr. appt. this afternoon..it would be nice if he told me it was time...I am sooooo ready.  |

Jewels | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 06:20 am     Thanks for the list Whit...I have been working on it! Also need to add all my holiday preparations. Haven't even started the Christmas shopping yet. Ugh. Thanks Sia, I needed that!  |
Sia | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 02:07 pm     Jewels, an easy way to do Christmas shopping is to do what my hubby used to do when he was a bachelor: buy everyone the same thing. One year he found nice alarm clocks on sale at a good price, so he bought one for everyone on his list. He got one for his Dad, his Mom, each of his sisters, brother-in-law, etc.; everyone on the list got an alarm clock. My own variation on this theme last year was the Pyrex casserole dish with zippered insulated carrier; I bought four or five of them, kept two for myself and gave one to my sister, my mother and my stepdaughter. My other idea won't help you now, but I keep a Rubbermaid tote in my closet year-round that I put gifts into as I find them on sale and buy them. By November I have an excellent selection of goodies from which to choose the perfect thing for almost everyone on my list. Sometimes I don't even have a specific person in mind when I buy something, and it helps to have this big box of items when Christmas rolls around. For years I've had a drawer full of coloring books, happy-meal toys, new toothbrushes, costume jewelry, and other little goodies for visitors with children. I did this for years before I ever dreamed of having kids myself. With nieces and nephews, it was convenient to have things for them on hand, and now that I have kids I always have inexpensive gifts suitable for the birthday parties they're invited to--and best of all, I don't have to make an unnecessary trip to the mall for a present! I keep greeting cards of all description on hand, as well, as I'm a big writer and love to send cards and letters. |
Whit4you | Sunday, December 01, 2002 - 10:52 pm     Jewels we are waiting! You know that having lots of sex can do wonders to trim a few days off this wait....lol. Hope you have plenty of easy meal things ready for the first few weeks after the lil one is born. Paper plates - cups and what-not... one of those hot water botttles is good idea too - Ok I'll shut up - hehe - excited to see this baby of yours - have a website planned for the lil one yet? A way to send us pics? |

Draheid | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 06:23 pm     After? Why doesn't she take her lap top and do a 'spoiler' or 'play-by-play' of the event! Woohoo! Just kidding!! Congratulations, Jewels. Sounds like you're almost there!  |
Whit4you | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 06:31 pm     Jewels! Well that's good news! I should have suggested you make arrangements to have someone get on and let us know when the new one arrives - if you have time see if you can hook us up with an informant...> I'm very excited for you - it's sooo amazing to see your babies fingers and toes for the first time, you'll see |
