BTW, everything seems to be going fine. No long term damage from all the activity last week. I got the yard project done, my house picked up (camping ORGANIZED and put away) and Maria cleaned, I cleaned the inside of the van for our trip and we packed and zoomed to Louisiana for the weekend (RL's cousin got married). Pics of the weekend on Facebook.
I'm not a fragile person, but have had my appendix removed and three days later delivered Samantha (at 35 weeks) and had to be put on bed rest about the same time with Jack for early labor. I carried Jack to 38 weeks and then labor was four hours total from first contraction to baby out. So all of that to say I want to be careful and mindful of a couple of things: my SI joint becomes very mobile during pregnancy (maybe to make room for these big babies?), gestational diabetes, pre-term labor, fast laboring.
I'm not worried, Michael's not worried (except for the fast laboring part), and the midwives aren't worried. I think we're just all mindful.
Hey mamma!! Project looks good ... take care of yourself ... save the heavy lifting for Michael!!! You don't want that pubic symphysis separation again!!

Meh, bricks aren't that heavy if you take small trips. But you're right Julie, I don't want that PSS again! That was TERRIBLE!
The good thing is I think I'm much more aware of my movement patterns this time and have been able mitigate some pain just by consciously engaging my glutes instead of everything else! Yeah me!
Busy busy day! I'm going to rest before it starts all over.
Thought of you this morning as I moved as I moved without thinking and was rewarded with shooting crotch pain. Stupid loosey-goosey effects of pregnancy lasts way longer than they should. Sure hope you don't have to deal with PSS this time around -- no hint of it yet?
Diane, I seem to be escaping the pains of PSS this time around. Which seems odd because he's positioned sooo low currently. Who knows? Not me?!
What I do know is that I'm WAY backing off on my activities this week. This weekend we (the children and I) flew (I mean drove very quickly) to Arkansas and back for events for RL's extended family. Everything went fine until this morning, when I had three very breath taking contractions very evenly spaced 10 minutes apart. I was beginning to forumlate my plan for what I was going to say to Michael and who I was going to call to meet me in Benton, AR and take care of the children if I needed to go to the hospital. Thankfully I had a 1L bottle of water already in the van so I just chugged it even faster and didn't have any more until this afternoon when I had a few random BH contractions.
I have promised Michael that I'll be really good this week and only do the basics (meaning I'll rest on Tuesday and Thursday which are normally my "I have no children so I'll run 1,000 errands in 3 hours" days). Jack and I'll spend a lot of time at home and do lots of playing play-doh and uno. All of this so that my hubby can go on his 5-day golf trip and not worry. I know, you don't have to tell me. I ROCK as a wife.
I've gotten quite good at losing at UNO. (I play a fair amount at work and I'm generally steering someone else towards a win.)

We don't have UNO Attack...may have to consider it.
I'm 23 weeks on Wednesday...or something like that.
You probably will have to worry about me at the summit, although I have NO problem using my preggo card to excuse my required nap on Saturday!!
Walked the dogs for about 45 minutes today. I can tell it's getting warmer...Mo kept plopping down under shade trees and I eventually joined him on a bench. Z is TOTALLY out on the couch now from our earlier walk. Even the dogs are cute when they sleep...I must be pregnant!
I've made a promise to Paula. For the next month I will:

Here's my promise to you: dessert only once a week and I'm cutting out the damn crackers. If I have nothing better to eat in my house than crackers then it's time to go to the store PRONTO.
Okay WAY COOL Schnauzes! LOVE ME SOME OF THEM! LOL!
Also Roland is right.... You should stay active. Funny how I worry for you when I rode my bike 10 miles the day before I gave birth to my first. LOL! Called into work to tell them that I was delivering that day in fact and could not make my shift.

If I were a really good mother, Greg, I'd take pics so that when Luke looks back he'll be able to say, "Awww! There's my mom pregnant with ME!" But nooo, I'm too busy for that. Yes, I'm full blown at this point! And my cover's totally blown!
And I'm really sad b/c I just found out RL doesn't land in Houston until 8 freakin PM tomorrow. Uggg! That means I have a whole 'nother day by myself. Thank goodness it'll be a busy one and hopefully it'll fly right by.

Truthfully, I could have another. But I'm going to wait until 4:15 to decide (that'd be 20 minutes since I last ate).
I've had two piece of fruit instead candy this afternoon.
