I am just hoping to make it to May 18 (37 weeks.) I really don't think I will make it to June, but we'll see.

Hehe Donna. I noticed the same thing...it really got me laughing!
I called the doctor today and his receptionist told me to go into the hospital because he was on call there and he would want to look me over just to be safe. Everything seemed to be fine and all tests came back negative aside from another UTI (which seems to be wanting to stick around as long as possible). But right before I left the doctor peeked his head back in and asked if he could do an US and I am SO glad that I agreed because we found out that my pain was all a result from my baby turning!! I am so happy. I do fully realize that it could keep turning, but right now the pain just seems to all be worth it. I know the head was still up yesterday evening, but the pain got worse as the spotting lessened into the evening and the doctor said that is most likely when the baby made the flip. He also suggested that I "take it easy" for the next little while.
I see my dr again on Friday morning.
Thanks for the advice!

These two posts in a row cracked me up...

You know about the meals, I'm pretty sure my church will be throwing me a baby shower and asking what I want. I am going to ask for casseroles that can be frozen with the instructions and those throw away containers be brought in lieu of a gift so that I can pop them in the freezer and anyone who is helping in the house can heat them up. I figure that's the most practical way to get what we really need. We really don't need other baby things. And there is no such thing as delivery here where we live. Plus I might get some really cool dinners that way and I can ask later for the recipe!!

True, true. The other thing I would actually ask for is a 24 hour urine collection. Even if your dip is negative, you can still have protein in your urine. Being overly hydrated, or having clear urine can actually cause a false negative result.
So, Kathryn, if you decide you need more than just meals, you can ask your church to collect their urine for 24 hours. 
Emily, the end is uncomfortable, for sure, but those are good signs too! I hope you're able to rest a bit after finals and before baby day!
That made both hubby and I laugh. Donna I can always count on you to make me laugh just when I need it. Thank you!!

Tomorrow is my last final exam and then I will be done (for now.)
I think I am nesting too. I keep reorganizing things and driving Chris crazy. Also, I have washed all of the baby's clothes and "preped" all of the cloth diapers. Now I am going crazy waiting for the dresser to get here so I can put things away.

Stephanie, make sure they keep careful watch of this. A persistent UTI can actually cause preterm labor.
You're very welcome, Kathryn.  Sometimes I have a sick sense of humor...but I'm glad you thought it was funny too.

I don't like to either, which is probably why there are 5 loads of laundry on my bedroom floor that need to be washed. I hate having to go to the laundromat.

LOL, Laura! How true...there are things we all prefer not to do, but they must be done!
ETA...Ryanne, I do NOT miss the laundromat days one bit.

lol, my husband is horrified about it being so close to Christmas. He was like "Um, could you have planned a little better than that?!" But he's over it now. :)
Kathryn, congrats! I'm jealous of you :)

S/G, you can always do half birthdays in June when the baby gets older. Lots of people have December birthdays...it'll be okay.
Kathryn, I had to read that a couple times before I figured out what you were trying to say. Half-baked must mean something different here...but I do know you're talking about being 20 weeks now. WOOHOO!!!

I was born on Sept 2, so my birthday falls on labor day weekend a lot. I'm not sure if I was born on labor day though.

Cool...I could deal with a Labor Day birth. Eek...that means school here starts the week of my due date. I will not worry about that now. I will not worry about that now. I will not worry about that now.
AH!! I hope you go one day after that. That's our wedding anniversary (9 years this year).
Well maybe I can labor on Labor Day and then have Gideon/Esther on your anniversary. Although, it would kind of stink to be in labor on Labor Day...we always have a big BBQ at my mom's.  I've already told my mom I'm bringing soda and nothing else (every holiday, we split up the food...but not this one for me!).
I'm getting really excited about meeting this baby already. Not sure how I'll survive waiting the next 17 or so weeks... And yes, I am bursting at the seams to "slip" and tell someone what we're having.

I was trying to catch up on all the posts since I was last online, but realised that I'll probably never be able to do that.
It feels strange to see that list without my name on it! Lily, I hadn't realised that you're so close to your due date!
And congratulations, SkillfulGourmet! I pray that you'll be holding a healthy baby in your arms at the end of the year.

Not at all lilly.
We are having my mom come out the last week in june. Baby should be here, we should have a semi routine down and feel good enough as parents to have company. Jer will go back to work and my mom will be able to help me out and get to know her granddaughter. I won't have all the pressures of newborn-ness and just given birth stress anymore. I hope. I know it won't be perfect but much better to my stressful self than having her from day one or even before and waiting.
