Oh yeah, most definately! I can't wait to have her!But no signs yet! Lol she has almost no room left to grow and its funny because she is trying to stretch her legs and its not working so good, for her or me! Lol with my luck though she will probably be a million weeks late! Lol oh well! My positive is that she must be healthy cause she is moving and if I don't deliver by 42 weeks (lord help me) I will be induced! So keep your fingers crossed that chey is healthy and happy and cries at birth, because I will be one of those mothers that if she doesn't cry when she comes out I will have a panic attack! Smile

good luck and best wishes

Lol thanks hun! I will need that! I told austin and my obgyn to not even offer it to me cause I know when I am in the last stages I will want that more than life itself! Smile I hope I don't have to have a c-section! Otherwise all my mental planning is out the window and one of austin's cousins wifes had a c-section and she was so sick after it that should couldn't hold the baby! Sad I just hope that I remember to breathe!

Hi! Welcome to the boards! Congratulations on your little one!! You are right on about austin, he is my boyfriend. We live together in a 2 bedroom apartment in scottsdale,az. Austin is also 20 years old.
Ok so a little about me huh?
Well before I got pregnant I used to play basketball religiously! I was never the party type! I didn’t see a use for getting wasted, stoned or both every weekend! Instead I would watch movies, read and hang out with a real close knit of friends and we would have massive sport tournaments especially in basketball! Lol I am currently on bedrest until cheyenne is born. I have learned alot in the past month or so being on this forum! I have learned to be patient with myself and my limits and that not everyone is as much of a clean avid as me! But I think what I have learned most is that not everyone is as fortunate to have what I have. I see these girls that come on here that have had horrible childhoods and that seek happiness in all the wrong places and I am feel that I am so blessed that god has given me the ability to help and guide some of them! Not only that but these girls have guided me, they have given me the strength to strive to be the best mother, care giver, wife and supporter that I can be and because of all of them I now know that I will be better now than I would have been before I found this board! And for that I am forever indebted to them! Oh guys I just realized that I am preaching! Lol ok well you are probably sick of me ranting, so yeah thats me! What about you?

Good luck and best wishes
