Cordless phones, wireless internet, photos and the grumps

We don't have any problems with our phones/networks.

Seriously, you're not REALLY pg. You have a pillow stuffed up under there. And I can attest that Joanne looks EXACTLY like Norah Jones. Even DH said so when he met her. She's gorgeous.

Wow, Joanne, with a toddler and at 9+mo pg and you look as great as ever...that's funny, Sarah H- she does look just like Norah Jones! You could get some serious tabloid rumors started about Norah hiding a pregnancy, Joanne :)

Anyway, you look awesome, sweetie- you're going to be Miss Skinny Minnie when you leave the hospital with your beautiful (no doubt!) baby girl in your arms....

Hang in there- we can't wait to hear your good news!

Hugs,

LOL, thanks so much! :) I am hardly feeling presentable these days. First of all, the hair cut that looked boffo at the salon has fallen totally flat, and far be it from me to do anything more than comb it. And that's on a good day. And thank goodness for Zout. EVERY single one of my shirts has a huge food splatter right on the belly, below my chest. Every single one. I guess I could start using a bib, but that would be too easy. I'm really not a messy eater, I don't think, but you wouldn't know it to look at my tops.

I've always wondered about going blonde. There's no way I could. My mother would kill me, and I would look orange. But platinum seems like such a happy color. :) And I know my face is going to be puffy after delivery. I looked like a trapezoid with limbs after Gannon. BUT I have it on good authority from Mamahill that she's cute, since she saw her in a dream. Granted, her middle name was Bunny in the dream...

Ugh. I've been up for an hour. I figured that things would be happening when I went on a Swiffering frenzy starting at 11:30. THEN I even got out the Swiffer dusters! Decluttered our dresser top. Did some laundry. Plus I cleaned the bathroom. (Just a spot clean, but good enough!) Made sure everything was ready to go for the hospital. But nope, nuttin' yet. Even with the "other" stuff. DH and I both were like, "Really? Can't we just sleep?" :)

But, the nesting urge is still there, as I've been thinking about cleaning drains with baking soda and boiling water since the insomnia hit. (Thanks for that tip, whoever you are! :)) Off to do that now.

It's quite sad that this is the first night Gannon's slept through since Christmas and I'm the one who's up.

And I will pass along the info on the phones! Thanks again! :)

You could always hop on a plane and clean my place if you run out of things to clean! That cleaning frenzy never hit me w/ Ryden. I just watched my mom clean and that was exhausting enough for me!

You look great and clearly you are feeling great! You do know that you are suppose to be RESTING and saving all of that energy for labor don't you? Hoping for some easy labor vibes!

[newbelly2002]

I'm going with the pillow theory. Heck I don't look that non-puffy NOW! So much for girl babies stealing all their mothers' beauty. You look amazing!

I'm pulling for you (and tell Shawn to get to work on those feet. You're about to go into labor for pete's sake! And along with the hospital bag did you pack a hamburger or two for him as well :) )

Gorgeous as ever!

Girlie, where is all the swelling? I was mistaken for the Michelin man with Sophie :P

Joanne - You look fabulous! I've seen pics of you before and knew you were beautiful, but right now you are absolutely glowing and you look great - fit and healthy!

[houseof3boys]

Um, hello pretty pregnant woman. You look fabulous and fantastic and blah blah blah. I like Sarah's small font comment so ditto to that. You are too cute Jojo and so is Gannona Bunny. :) :) :)

No prob with the phones and internet connection. We have 2 900 Mhz phones and a wireless connection with no prob.

[aliceinwonderland]

...instead, I'll be off to the Mommyfit board to ask about excessive weight gain in pregnancy. Sigh.

You do look awesome!!

eri, only 27w1d, looking puffy all over...

>And along with the hospital bag did you pack a hamburger or two for him as well :) )

LOL, no...But I've made it pretty apparent that if he even THINKS about food outside the hospital there won't BE any more occasions to make babies. :P I've also threatened ALL appendages. (Yes, all of them.) If labor should strike when food stores are closed, we're stopping at the all-night gas station and he can stock a cooler there. Or, have a buddy bring some goodies. OR, he could just suck it up and be hungry since his life partner is pushing a child out of her nether regions. AGAIN. No, he won't be leaving...:)

I'm off to the store to get the ingredients for the magical eggplant parm...I'll just bring whatever is left with us if I have to! :)
