Garnet Gab Thursday October 22

[malaynasmommy]

Hey sorry I'm late again.. my internet and phone were out again. You would think with all the issues we have with time warner cable they would give us a discounted rate or something! I am going to try and make this fast before it goes out again. So if I am MIA for a while that is probably why. They wont be able to come out to look at until tomorrow. grr. I started spotting again this morning. My midwife is in Florida until next Wednesday too so I am just going to keep an eye on it and if I start having contractions or more spotting I will just head to the hospital.

Good luck at your appointment today Stephanie!

QOTD: Did you have baby names picked out when you were a child? If so what were they?

AOTD: I always wanted Logan for a boy and Hope for a girl

Ashley: Sorry about your stupid internet and sorry about the spotting. Crossing my fingers that it isn't anything major.

Good luck at your appointment Stephanie!

AOTD: I can't think of any names I wanted to use as a kid. I don't think it was something I thought that much about.

So does anyone else have vaginal pain? Like the outside, not the inside. It is almost like a pulsing and I can feel it quite intensely when I am walking around. I feel like my labia is going to explode with pressure or something.

AOTD: I wanted Xavier or Alistair when I was a kid. Xavier was the name of the maker of cabbage patch dolls and Alistair was a cute boy on "you can't do that on television"

You probably have vericose veins there. I do but only when pregnant and they popped out a lot sooner this time but I can actually feel the blood pulsing through them from time to time.

Bess, I have actually been having a lot of vaginal pain. Mine feels like it is my cervix cramping though. Labial pain, not so much... but I have noticed I am really swollen and it feels strange to sit sometimes.

Ashley *hugs* Sorry your internet is crapping out on you right now <3

I am going to work on situating and cleaning up my sewing station. I haven't used my sewing machine in about a year and a half, so I started using my sewing table for other things-- like stacking file folders and overflow from the book shelves LOL. I think I am going to move it out to the living room so I am farther from M's office. I've just got to find an open corner (LOL!) and a lamp.

AOTD:
I am sure I picked out one or two, but I probably used them on cabbage patches or troll dolls lol.

Ashley - I hope the spotting is nothing serious Take it easy today.

Bess - I've had a lot of discomfort down there, too. Some days I feel swollen, others I feel pulsing. I wouldn't say it's painful, just annoying.

AOTD: I would never be able to recall all the names I went through as a child for my future children, but it's been Emma ever since I was 13 for a girl

[NewYearsBaby]

Ashley- i hope the spotting is nothing to worry about, take it easy

AoTD: I've always had a few picked out, Mackenzie, Isabelle, Kathleen, Bryce, Dillian and Rhys are the ones I remember. I kinda lucked out since I still love most of them and Im having a Bryce, if he had been a girl she'd have been named mackenzie isabelle

I really feel like poo today. I woke up, ate breakfast and just wanted to pass right back out, like i could hardly keep my eyes open, and i had a headache to boot. took a like 3 1/2 hr nap on the couch and woke up feeling even worse, feverish and my head is pounding. Gr. I hope im not coming down with something, and i have bradley class tonight. Grrrrr.

Add me to team vag pain.
Mine is especially bad when I squat down (doing house work or cleaning up after Joey). Just feels like the muscles down their are being stretched too far.
I wonder if something like a birthing ball would help this?

AOTD: I remember loving name Danielle as a kid. Don't remember any boy names.

Keep us posted Ashley. Hope the bleeding stops and things calm down.

[Ellowyn]

Yep, I've got the vag pain too. I have to be careful about doing too much standing during the day. I just get so busy that I forget to sit down sometimes. I was worried about it and took a little peek "down there" with a mirror and yep, varicose veins in the hoohaa area. *sigh* ah the joys of pregnancy. I did some major pushing with my 3rd baby and I think that's what did it.

AOTD: I think it's interesting the names that come out at each generation. I used to LOVE the names Ginger and Debbie when I was a little kid. Too many Gilligan's Island reruns! LOL.

I hope that bleeding stops Ashley! It's still too soon for these babies to be appearing!

[Meadowmother]

AOTD: I loved the named Ruby when I was little. I thought it was so glamorous to have a name like a jewel. And Bethany, I named a stray cat that ended up living at our house Bethany. In 7th grade I named my egg baby Sidney because I thought that was pretty cool.

And at team vag pain, not at the pain you're all having, just the title
