Amy, I will pray. Glad it was the right decision, but I also know what you mean about wanting to know how it's going to work out.

Well I must be nesting - scrub trash cans and litter boxes... weird. I'm not even tired yet, but I will probably regret this later quote:
Lily, I'm praying you did NOT clean out those litter boxes, hun. This LINK will tell you why. I know I'm a little late...just surprised someone else didn't mention it. (((hugs)))

Lily, you should be fine with the boxes if you wear gloves and wash your hands. You are more likely to get toxo from undercooked meat or gardening without gloves than from cleaning the litter box. Take this from someone who worked as a vet tech through one entire pregnancy and also cleans her own box (when DH is out of town that is  ).

My personal doctors didn't freak out though one freaked me out. I handled a sick cat one day and it came back later that it was toxo positive. I immediately called my doc's office and went in for a test. Later one of the docs called me back and said I was positive for toxo and he would call me back later to let me know what if anything that we should do. He never called me back! I have some choice words for him still and this was almost 5 years ago. I did call the office though and one of the other docs put me in touch with a fetal/maternal specialist who read my labs and told me that the other doc had read them wrong. I DO have a positive toxo titer but I did before I got pregnant as well. So the idiot doc had only read my current titer and not compared it to my original test. I was not toxo positive after all (not technically anyway). That was a scary two weeks, thinking I was positive and had exposed my baby that whole time.
Anyway, the vets I worked for were great. I worked up to 4 weeks of my due date. The original plan was up to 2 weeks but our office was huge and too busy and I got way too tired at the end so I moved up my last day. Most of the time I was not asked to handle sick cats and I just gloved for everything else. The hospital that I worked for then was large enough to have separate tech spots for lab and pharm so I worked a lot in that position and a lot setting up animals in rooms, getting rooms ready, taking blood for labs and stuff like that.

I've been having never ending headaches here lately, probably just allergies.
I would get headaches bordering on migranes when I was pg both times, if I didn't get enough water and if I 'did too much' that day. Like if I spent too much time watching tv, playing on the pc, or reading a book/magazine. Anything that tired my eyes out would set one off. So I had to be careful of not overdoing it.

Anyone else breaking out? I usually don't have many pimples, but now I'm getting at least one once a week. I'm trying to stay away from sweets, so I don't know if it's hormonal or what.

Julie - LOL! That explains your signature. I was a vet tech for 4 years - we have 1 dog and 5 cats!!
Brandy, the last few days Caden gets super active at about midnight for some reason. I thought for sure he was going to flip over to breech the other night.
Well, had the church baby shower today - it was so much fun! We're definitely not going to need diapers for awhile! One of the other ladies at church had her baby - apparently her labor was only about 1 1/2 hours! That's just crazy!

We had a dr appt this morning. Everything was great. Took a while to find the heartbeat because that little bugger wouldnt be still for even just a moment! I had my prenatal labwork and thats pretty much it. We go back in 4 weeks for our ultrasound and the next appt.

Hi Ladies, I am back!
I have a prayer request. I just went to the dr. for my 30 week check up. She ended up checking my cervix to find that it feels like I am at 36 weeks instead of 30. She left the room to try and get me in to ultrasound but they were behind and completely booked, so she called around to other hospitals, I am headed to a hospital 30+ mins away to get an u/s. I don't really know how to pray, or what I am praying for. Maybe that she read my cervix wrong. I am just really anxious right now. What does that exactly mean??
I will be back on soon, to update and to give details of my lovely shower.
I am very happy for you Sarah, on you good news...God is truly amazing.
Kim - once again you are beautiful!!!

A cervix isn't 'defined' by weeks, that I know of. The cervix dilates and effaces. Did she say that you'd done some of that? Why was she giving you an internal exam at 30 weeks? Are you sure you're not meaning your fundal height?

ladies.. i also have a prayer request... remember last week I told you guys i had a weird red rash on my face... well the GP wasn't concerned about that, but while I was there I asked them to check out my ear and nose again cause I was in pain. Turns out I had infection again... and this time she wants to put me on antibiotics for 2 weeks!...its amocociline 500mg.. 3 times a day....I have called my GYNO and left a message to call me back to see if it is ok to take it for so long and how it could affect my baby.
The other thing that is worrying me to death is I was trying to do the kick count thing.. and really.. my baby is not moving at least 10 times an hour.. I am so worried.....
I have been gravely sick.. didn't really get out of bed all weekend and the only time I got out was to throw up... I have been coughing sooo hard that I just end up throwing up... even if I haven't eaten anything... I have a constant horrible headache.. I can't sleep at night from coughing so hard... I am soooo sick of cough drops... they don't even work!... and.. i came to work today cause I felt bad since I already took friday off... but I seem to be in such a bad state that my boss told me to go home!
my heart is heavy with worry over the saftey of my baby :-(

Even so, I am very careful about washing my hands thoroughly. 
I also notice with my boys that my hair is really greasy and has to be washed every day. It wasn't like that with Hannah. And no, I'm not telling you which way it's going this time. So there.
