Linda - Natalie is measuring a little ahead also, had an u/s today.
Got back from my appt, everything looks good.
IT was cute we caught her yawning. Then the brain, heart, and she is practicing her breathing.
She is measuring big 6 lbs 7 ozs right now, but doc thinks we should still try a VBAC as long as I am planning on getting hte epi so if an emergency arises I am ready to go.
I have a couple pics but not good ones except for her privates - she is definitely a girl. She had her hand in front of her face.

Hi girls, Congrats to Diane and LInda. Wow Linda, you must be getting nervous. A 10 pounder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just keep waiting to hear that one of you has delivered.
Jacque- How are you girl? You sure aren't checking in as often as before. Now you can understand how I was. It will only get worse after the baby gets here, (ie: Amanda and Kris Ha Ha.) Every time I come on here, I expect to see a big ol' message from you to all of us, but it's good that you are spending the time with your fam. Once your new little one gets here, she/he will take up most of your time. I hope you are well, and the pg is going great. Are you feeling anything yet? How about team green? Any more thoughts?
Take care, Alisha

Ok, here is comes.... my series of really long posts. I am going to have to start out small and work my way up because Mike is home from work early today and he is going to kick me off of the computer so he can get his paper done. Anyway, I am the queen of excuses lately! First I am not posting because I was sooo sick, then it was because I was so busy with work, then it was because I was sick, then it was because I did not have an assistant here during the day and I had to once again get used to taking care of the little ones on my own. Well, now I am only getting sick a few times a day.... I am not only used to not having an assistant here, but happy that it is just me and the kids during the day.... all of the big kids are back in school, so there is NEVER more then 8 kids here!!!! I wanna start out with personals, and then I will post more about all that is going on in the wonderful world of Jacque. lol Diane: It seems like just yesterday we met on Fertility Friend, and now over a year later you are getting ready for Natalie to arrive. I cannot believe that you have less then a month, that is just unbelievable. I hope the next 24 days fly by!!!!! You know, it wouldn't be a bad thing if she came a bit early. You look great in your belly pic!!! --- So, what are you going to do with your son during delivery??? -- Did you have the siblings class yet? If so, how did it go? Jennifer: HOLY cow I miss you! I hope you are having a great time with your family, that the new little baby girl is home from the hospital, that your sister's baby shower is perfect, and that you can check in soon... I miss your updates!!! --- PLUS you are officially over 20 weeks, you are over half way there!!!!!! I love the fact that your due date is fast approaching, because that means mine is too!!!!! Amanda: Hey stranger!!! I am now getting out and about, so I will be mailing your package any day now. About time, right? So, are you back to work yet? How are things with the girls? How are you feeling? What new and exciting things is Lexi doing? ? Have you thought about what the girls are going to be for Halloween??? Kris: Where the heck are you? I know i do not have room to talk , I have been MIA too.... But I would love to see some new photos of Sara! Your first "mommy Halloween" is right around the corner, what is Sara going to be? Are you back to work?? How are things going? Linda: 6 WEEKS AHEAD!!!! You might deliver before Diane, how awesome is that!!!!! 10 pounds is huge, I thought Kailey was big and she was 8lbs 10oz. How are you feeling? Did Luke have his siblings class yet, how did that go? -- Now, what are you going to do with your son during delivery? How soon after Isabelle is here will he get to see her? Will you have a gift from baby to your little man? Alisha: Look now, you inspired me to type one of my super long posts. I have so much to say, that I feel like I am going to burst. My friend Kelly is pregnant, and they were not going to find out what they were having, well she did one worse... she found out, but is not telling ANYONE if she is expecting a boy or a girl, which SUCKS because she has 3 boys already! --- I am going to tackle my next post to you on our other board... for now I am going to have to give up the computer so Mike can get some work done! Kohl's is having a huge on line sale, you all might want to check it out.Jacque

- I don't know, Luke was 10 lbs 3 oz, and I was measuring like a month ahead with him and he didn't come early, although I didn't have any contractions with him, and I have some every day with this one, so who knows!
How are you feeling? - I'm feeling tired and worn out and my back hurts and my feet swell, well you asked! LOL!
Did Luke have his siblings class yet, how did that go? -Nope, it's on Sept 13, so hopefully I'll make it, otherwise we are winging it with him!
Now, what are you going to do with your son during delivery? - My mom is taking him for when I'm in the hospital
How soon after Isabelle is here will he get to see her? - Hopefully right away, my mom will be bringing him with when she comes to visit and I assume she'll come a few hours after delivery
Will you have a gift from baby to your little man? - Oh yes, we bought him a GameBoy! He's gonna FREAK! He's gonna think his new sister is the coolest! LOL!

Linda: A GAMEBOY!!!! Wow, Isabelle is the coolest little sister EVER!!! He is going to freak, how awesome is that. What games did you get for him? --- I think we are going to have Kailey in the delivery room, keep in mind she is alot older then Luke, she will turn nine 3 days before the baby's due date. She has been to every appointment, and I think she is ready. We will have someone there to talk her for walks and what not just in case she gets board.... but for the most part I think she will be there the entire time. The other day she came to me and told me that the Baby Story was very deceiving. I asked why, and she said because they parents go to the hospital, have the baby and come home in less then 30 minutes. I had to laugh. She knows that I was there for 12 hours before I had her, and that we did not leave until about 36 hours after she was born. --- I remembered that you said the siblings class was cutting it close to your due date. Part of me wants you to be able to make it that far, the other part says.... wow, you are really pregnant and I know that Luke is going to be a great big brother, so who cares!! --- So, are you still working? When does your leave start??? How much time are you taking off?

Hey girls! Just checking in. Sorry I haven't got to do it earlier in the week. I've been pretty busy. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive! We are going back home tomorrow so I should be on a lot more after that!
Things are good with me. Just been busy seeing family and shopping!!! We have been shopping 2 days this week! Aryanna has gotten some new clothes! And so has mommy!!! I got 2 new pair of pants (capris and jeans) and 5 shirts since we have been home! Other than that, we have been going to our fair every night. I am hoping to see one of my old best friends there tonight. I haven't seen him for about 4 years but his mom said he will be there this evening.
Update on my sister and Amelia......the baby shower went great. We went up on Wednesday to see Amelia at the hospital. I got to touch her through the isolet but couldnt hold her. She is going really well. Although her oxygen levels dropped so she is under 48 hour watch right now. Hopefully she will be coming home soon!!!

Jennifer: I am glad things are going so well on your Vacation. I am glad you will be home soon. So, you talked about all you got for yourself.... but what did you get for baby? How is everyone's weekend??? Yesterday I took two naps and ate. Oh, we also watched Cheetah Girls #2 on the Disney Channel... which was awesome, tons better then Cheetah Girls #1. lol Today I think will be about the same. Mike has a huge project for school, and once that is done I think he will either crash or start studying for finals, which are next week. I am so glad that he is a senior!!!! Only 56 hours until I get to hear my baby's heartbeat!!!!! Well, gonna make some breakfast..... Jacque

Jennifer - glad you are having a good time
Linda - wow, if Jacob would know what Luke is getting he would ask for a new family. he is getting a Thomas Train to add to his collection and 3 new books
Jacque - I really liked our sibling class. Jacob did really well. toured the maternity floor and the nursery, saw a new baby and they showed the belly button. what they will do to mommy and baby, so I would recommend it since your DD is going to be there. They showed the baby warmer and the IV's how the bed tears apart, etc, so she will be ready.
They also were taught how to change a diaper and got a big brother shirt, or in your case a big sis shirt. and the best part in Peoria it was only $5

Diane: Kailey will be going, It is in December I think..... they might have a class in late January, but I will not know for sure until later in the year. She is excited about going, but it is going to cost $20.00.... it could be worse. I am just happy she is excited about going. We are also thinking about going to a childbirth/lamaze class... after all it has been 9 years since I last done this, a refresher course might not be that bad.--- So you are going to deliver in Peoria? At St. Francis?? I had to tour their NICU for an article I did for the paper several months ago, it was awesome. Granted, I hope none of us every have to take advantage of it, but if we do I know our baby's will be in very very very competent hands.

I had JAcob at OSF, but this time we are delivering at Methodist.
I did feel really comfortable at OSF, knowing that was the children's hospital.
I am on a different computer, so I see my ticker, did you make that one, I thought I had one myself. I noticed because I will be 37 weeks tomorrow?

Diane: LOL I changed your ticker forever ago, you told me that you could see Linda's, but no one else's, so I tried making one for you from the same site that Linda's was from.... but the ticker I made for you stopped working about a week ago, I kept going to change it but that ticker site was being a pain, I went ahead and just made a tickerfactory.com ticker for you, and that one is now correct.... just out of curiosity can you see it when you are on your home computer??? --- I loved OSF, and I am glad it is not to far away, but I would not want to deliver there either. I am going to deliver in Geneseo. I have never been to Methodist, but Mike says it is awesome, a friend of his delivered there not to long ago, and they LOVED it. Jennifer: Welcome Home!!!! --- Yesterday was new belly shot day, you need to post it... I bet you are to the point that you are getting HUGE! I will post my new one on Tuesday!!!!!
