Hi *MIL*

I don't have their emails so I couldn't send them the evite (to my daughter’s birthday), but will you please extend the invitation to your family as well?

Thanks!

Just wanted to say hi and make sure you were still alive and well. Haven't heard from you in a while. Bought a new game for our next game night. Call me if you need anything.

Hope to hear from you soon!

To: Me

Yep, I've been working 18 hour days for the past two week.  my show opens on Friday at the Anaheim CC.  I'll get my life back on Monday. 

From: Me

To: SIL

Holy Crap! Did you hear about *MIL's Niece*? Are you getting excited? 

From: SIL

To: Me

 Yes, made me nervous she was two week later

To: SIL

 Does *BIL* like baseball? I didn't know if he was into sports or not. I was just asking because my uncle's place (Company Name) is open now and I'm working here with him now while I'm finishing school. You guys should come by and check it out (obviously when your schedule isn't so chaotic) 

From: MIL

To: Me

 I just wanted to find out how you are doing.  I hope you are not having any more cramps.  Just try to relax more, maybe work less, talk to your uncle and actually tell him how many days and what days you can work a week, I don’t think he’ll mind, you have been very helpful to him so far.

I'm feeling better today. I'm kind of embarrassed by what it is because it sounds so ugly. They said that on my right lower side of my tummy, I have internal varicose veins on the side of my uterus. They said its because he is breached and is literally sitting on the right lower side of my uterus so the extra pressure caused them. My Dr said that the more I stand, walk, etc, the more pressure he puts on them and the worse they get and hurt. He suggested the prenatal cradle which is kinda like the belt support *SIL* had on but it comes up over the shoulders as well. I can't find it in the stores so we'll see. He said that sitting is OK so I've talked to my uncle and he will help accommodate. The cramping was just probably braxton hicks but the constant aching and pain is the veins. At least the baby is good and that's all that matters  :o)

Donde esta mi bebe? LOL

 Ohhhh. Baby *His nickname*’s gonna be tiny! 

From: Me

To: SIL

I’m so bummed. I didn’t look at the pic before I sent it. It is not the best picture. I look way different. Well, either way, you get the point. I’m closing in on 9 months and I just look like I’m a couple months trying to be all pregnant LOL

To: Me

I haven’t heard from you, so I just wanted to make sure everything is a go for tonight.

I always worry about everything and this is not an exception, so please ease my mind by letting me know what’s going on

From: Me

To: MIL

Hi! I called you twice yesterday on your cell around 4. It kept picking up and I could hear you and another girl talking.

Everything is going ok. My doctor prescribed me the terbutiline pills on Tuesday. I take them every 4 hours to stop my contractions. He said I only have to take them until my next appt this Tuesday and then I'm cleared to go into labor. FINALLY! Let's just hope that baby *His name* doesn't change his mind and decide to come late LOL

As for tonight, I am still very excited and I look forward to kicking butt again  :o)  I will bring the food and soda. *He* has to work late tonight so I will have *Our daughter* with me until about 7ish but then *He* will be there for her.

I'm sorry we haven't been over there in a while. I've literally been working M-F 3pm-9pm so I pick up *Our daughter* from school at 2:45 and come straight to work.

From: MIL

To: Me

Sorry about yesterday, I didn’t recognize the number, and I’ve been getting a lot of phone calls about refinancing, so I thought it was one of those phone calls.

I am glad you and baby *His name* are doing okay.  So, I guess will have a brand new baby in about a week.  I can’t wait.

*FIL* got the chips ready last night, and the garage and house are pretty much ready.

Hi Everyone!

First, I want to apologize for taking so long to get in contact with everyone after the baby was born. I learned a valuable lesson, never leave your husband in charge of keeping everyone posted.   :o)

A quick recap, I was induced Wednesday, November 14th. I went in and my IV was started at 8am and was advised that it would be well into the night before I delivered. Well, since I was late as it was, I got my epidural at noon and delivered at 2:28pm.

*My son’s full name (which ended up being the same as His with “the third” as the suffix since He is a Junior)” was 8lbs 12oz and 19.5" long. He had to go straight into an incubator for the first 24 hours because he had too much amniotic fluid in his lungs causing him to breathe too rapidly, requiring constant monitoring. Finally, he was released to me once his body absorbed all the fluid from his lungs.

As of last Tuesday (3 weeks old) for his checkup, he grew 3.5" and weighed 10lbs 3oz!!! The doctor said I make good milk (and I'm still not sure how to take that  LOL). I was worried about his circumcision because it looked swollen still after 3 weeks. When I asked the doc about it, he looked at me dumbfounded, and said it wasn't swollen. Yeah, total blonde moment. Clearly, I was raised only around girls.

Happy Holidays to all of you and your families.

PS. When's poker?  LOL
