Who is still pregnant round here?
I'll be 40 weeks in 2 days...my son was born at 39 weeks so this is officially the most pregnant I've ever been.
I'm 40 weeks today and feel like I'm gonna be pregnant forever. I know that's silly but I've had 2 false alarms and my mucus plug fell out a week ago. So I thought for sure she was on her way. Trying to remind myself that it could still be today, any moment. I've been walking a mile a day, having as much sex as my husband can, eating spicy food and drinking RRL tea. Every night I go to sleep I hope I wake up in labor, not today.....
Still here... my edd is the 29th, based on ultrasound and corresponds exactly to when I thought I was ovulating. My lmp-based date was yesterday. I really have no idea when to expect this little one since I have long cycles and going by lmp has always given me "late" babies, but my only other boy was my earliest, so...
I finally decided to wash the baby's diapers and clothes last weekend and am trying to get my birth bag put together. I am kinda dragging my feet on it though. I keep thinking I should do it just in case and then not wanting to because it is probably going to be awhile anyway.
I am still here! 8 days until my due date. I think baby finally dropped this week, but I am not holding my breath that he will arrive early. In fact, I have been hoping that he would hold out until at least today as we just met with the pediatrician this morning. I haven't completely finished packing my hospital bag either. I have kind of psyched myself up for going over.
Probably just some prodromal practice labor but I've been having contractions about 15 minutes apart for the last few hours. I did this off and on for several days with another baby so not getting my hopes up but decided to pack the baby's bag just in case.
Today 8/14 is my due date, still pregnant. I've had a few signs that make me think labor will be soon, but this is my first baby so who knows? But baby clothes and bedding are washed, bags are packed, and I'm officially getting antsy!
I'm 8 days past my due date, and still no signs of anything. This is normal for me, though--I only bought diapers and birth supplies yesterday! I think I've still got another week to go. Baby is fully posterior, and the back pain is unreal right now.
I'm still waiting too! My official due date by LMP is Sunday the 17th. I've got no idea if I ovulated differently so that's what I've got to go from. First was 4 days late, 2nd was who knows (no LMP and wasn't trying either!) so with this one, no clue. have had 2-3 weeks of braxton hicks including some we thought worth timing last weekend but to no avail. My OB stretched my cervix at the last two appointments. We were hoping to encourage labor before her scheduled time off for her own surgery and while it did seem to help soften the cervix a little and cause me to lose my mucous plug I guess he really will get here on his own darn schedule!
As long as it's not the evening of the 17th I'll be happy. I don't get to have my Doula then as my she has tickets to a really awesome play that evening. Not making her miss that!
We did finally finish painting our new bedroom and moved most of our things into the new room. All the heavy stuff anyhow. Our new room had collected some amount of stuff for storage while we were not living in it so now we get to re-shuffle the rest. But that's fine. It's got a built-in closet albeit short. It's got plenty of room for gun stuff as well as hanging up shirts and short dresses, etc. I'll have to fenagle the long dress that made it up to our room back into my storage closet in the basement that got buried behind the in-laws office in progress. oh well.
We did finally get to get baby things out and start putting them away! My folks got us a changing table that Hubby set up last night and I put washed baby clothes away in the new dresser! I feel a lot better now! As we get things sorted out and shuffled around we'll have room to set up the crib pretty soon although we're going to be getting a co-sleeper shortly for this one as well. At least until he's big enough to hold his own in the big bed. We co-slept with our first two but hubby was a much lighter sleeper then as was I and we have more white noise with heaters or fans in our new (very old) house. We're thinking it's safer with a co-sleeper this time around and we'll set up the crib that my dad painted up so beautifully for us for naptime at least since I have to go back to work soon and it'll be full time.
Anyhow, I'm still here but I'm feeling more ready if even a little antsy or resigned to being pregnant forever, depending on the moment in the day anyhow... :)
At least I'm not the only one...haha. Yeah 40 weeks today OFFICIALLY. Woot. I go in and out of being completely calm, relaxed and trusting that baby will come when ready, vs feeling completely insane and just wanting it OUT NOW.
Let's just say I am NOT a people person lately...I am starting to get calls around the clock asking about the baby. Not answering them...
I'm still here too. 39 weeks is either today (by lmp) or the 18th (if I ovulated when thought). I'm hoping this little one waits until next weekend though. Now would cause crazy stress with my husband's work schedule and house projects that the landlord has going on. Though I am ready to walk without waddling!
I will be 38 weeks tomorrow. I'm completely okay with still being pregnant. My goal was to make it to 38 weeks. I'm a few hours shy of that goal and now I'm hoping to make it to 39 weeks.
I am 40 weeks tomorrow. Had two scares. So far just been sitting at 3cm last time I was checked (last week, mid week). I have been walking, cleaning, having sex and drinking RRL. I actually recently stopped hiking due to heat but am still getting in over a mile a day, sometimes 2 or 3. I HOPE I am at 4cm. But I am afraid to go back to the hospital until my contractions are worse or my water breaks. I have been having contractions for over a week now. -_-
Ladies I had my baby today at 40 weeks 2 days. It was a homebirth and I was in labor for 10 hours. Everything went great. I was team yellow and now I have a baby girl :-) birth story coming soon.
Hang in there pregnant mamas! Your babies are coming SOON!!
Congrats, Othersoul! Hope you and your baby girl are doing well!
I thought it might happen yesterday at 39+2. I lost my mucus plug and had some stronger contractions in the morning, but they ended up being BH. Once I was going about my day, they tapered off.
At my 39 week appointment, my doctor brought up induction due to the projected size of my baby (he was measuring a little over 5 lbs at a 32 week ultrasound), but was completely okay with my refusal. I really feel like I will go over my due date and I am okay with that. He can take his time.
Congrats Other Soul. Today is my due date and I am going in to the hospital later on. Trying to stay home a while. Horrible back pain and contractions are worse. I historically have them on my due date so I am sure this is it. It's also the same day, 16 years ago, I went into labor with my first son. He was due the 18th also and was born on the 19th. I hope she is born today though. It's my birthday :)
Congrats OtherSoul!
I am due the 26th. Still pregnant. TONS of strong BH, baby is low but not bowling-ball-between-the-legs low. My first was born on her due date, so getting excited! HBAC here I come!
Still here too, at 40w 1d. I lost my mucus plug a week and a half ago, had a false alarm Monday evening and spent almost all night in the birth center, until I stalled out at 4cm - they had to give me Benadryl for a bad reaction to the IV antibiotics (GBS), and it knocked me out, along with the contractions. :( Had to go home empty-handed, very disappointing.
Baby is SO low, she feels like she'll drop out if I pee too hard...and seriously uncomfortable BH off & on all day, every day since the false alarm. I've been trying all kinds of stuff: hiking, sex, RRL tea, spicy food, you name it! Just had an acupuncture treatment today so we'll see if that gets things moving!
Good luck to all the mamas here - and congrats to OtherSoul!! :)
Last night I had enough contractions I was about to think it was the real thing, but there was no pattern whatsoever to them. Oh well, they must have moved little one somewhat because she(?) hasn't pinched a nerve to put my leg to sleep all day today!
2 Attachment(s)
Good luck to everyone. She's here! I posted my post in here. Had her the next day at 11:57am. 7.4 and 9.75"
Rylee Marie!
Congratulations! She's lovely!
Congrats to everyone who has given birth now! We are still hanging out here waiting on baby boy's timing. I am having more bh during the day but nothing to get excited about. He is still moving around a ton, though last week the ob said he was engaged and I was at 2cm so a bit of work is out of the way. I am getting a little anxious seeing everyone's pictures.
Congratulations to everyone who has had their babies. I'm still pregnant at 39w3d. My longest pregnancy to date.
Anyone else feel like this today? :hide
40w 2d here... feeling a lot going on but no contractions. As my 2 year old would say "waiting is HARD!" Lol
I'm about 40 1/2 weeks now (I know, not bad, shouldn't complain :smile:), but thinking this might finally be it. Contractions for the last few evenings that stop when I fall asleep, but today little one has dropped even lower, I lost the mucus plug, and the contractions seem to be getting stronger.
I'm still pregnant at 40w1d.
So glad I kept telling myself that no one is pregnant forever, it kept me (somewhat) sane last week. We had a beautiful little girl, 9 lbs, at home Sunday. That made us either 40w6d or 41 weeks.:girlbaby
So.. if anyone is left- hang in there!
Still hanging out... probably won't be on much till he is born, but I will be 41 on Friday. Will have my next appt. on Tuesday if he isn't here by then and then see how to proceed from there.

Today, Houston-based Water Standard Company announced an unprecedented funding commitment from two New York-based investment funds, which were so impressed with the startup's plan that they invested $250 million: that's arguably the largest initial funding in the history of the water industry.
Water Standard's plan is to create a fleet of Seawater Desalination Vessels-- mobile, ship-based water treatment facilities that can churn out 300,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day. Water Standard CEO Amanda Brock explained to me how these ships could end the global water crisis.
It's a truism of the 21st century that water is the new oil. Global warming is already catalyzing droughts throughout China, Australia and now the Western United States (among many other places). At this point, El Paso, Texas gets 40% of its water from so-called "toilet-to-tap" wastewater recycling. Some municipalities are luckier. If you're on a shoreline, you have a limitless supply of ocean water to desalinate. But global warming is the gift that keeps on giving-- in addition to creating further droughts, experts also predict that the severity and number of hurricanes and typhoons will rise over the coming century. Such storms hit hardest on shores, and they have the capacity to knock a coastal desalination plant into the middle of next week.
Brock argues that her ships are a better bet for seawater treatment than conventional shore-based plants. Aside from their ability to get out of the path of a hurricane, the ships are also better at protecting the environment.
Evironmentalist don't much like the land-based facilities because their technology is hazardous to marine life. Those plants have to suck in seawater with so much force that they often trap fish and other marine life in the stream. Needless to say, the fish don't survive the process. But Water Standard says its water intake and discharge systems minimize the technology's impact on marine life.

Despite the appeal of the stories and the landscapes, you won't make it very far unless you strengthen your character through exploration and battle. After all, your character is your link to Skyrim and its stories. The character creation is more or less the same as Oblivion. You have several races to choose from, each with their own unique racial traits and/or powers. The one difference you will notice is that there is no longer a class selection. Bethesda did away with classes in Skyrim in favor of the player truly being able to shape the character in their own way, and I must say, it certainly feels great. Without the restrictions of choosing what major and minor skills you would like to use in the beginning, Skyrim lets you use the skills you want from the start, never fencing you in.
Another addition to the leveling system is Perks. Whenever you level up, which you do by increasing your skills several times, you get the opportunity to set a perk in one of your skills. This make your skills better in certain ways, like making your Sneak or One-Handed weapon more effective, lowing the cost of certain spells, or even adding special abilities like power hits. With the addition of these perks, your character truly feels like they are being shaped and leveled the way you want them too.
In addition to the leveling, Bethesda has also tweaked and fleshed out the combat and its mechanics. The combat feels so much more fluid now, much more so than Oblivion. Every swing of the weapon feels more natural than before. Even the new ability to dual wield weapons and spells (or one of each) feels comfortable for the most part. It takes a bit of getting used to, having two different buttons to use in the main parts of combat, but eventually if feels right. The spellcasting has been improved upon much in the same way. Casting is now easier and more natural to aim, and feels much more rewarding when it hits the mark.
Bethesda also made the menus much more accessible; giving you the ability to easily access quests and plot them on the map with just a couple of button presses. The same is true for equipment and items, giving you quick access to them with a clean looking menu interface. Having the ability to set certain weapons, skills, and items to a special favorites menu makes your most important inventory even more accessible.
Though your skills and abilities are some of the best parts of Skyrim, they aren't the only powers you will be using. As the Dragonborn, you have the ability to perform Shouts, words called out in the dragon language that, in a certain order, create special abilities like intense blast forces, ice, fire, and several other unique abilities. These powers are important parts of the story and you unlock their secrets as you complete more and more of the story. In addition to some cool abilities, they add more uniqueness to your character and aid in making you feel very powerful, almost as much as the creatures you have to slay to unlock such abilities.

The dragon fights are, without a doubt, some of the most monumental fights I've had in a video game and are, as I believe, how dragon battles should be: difficult, epic, and rewarding. In one instance where I was running up some snowy stares, a dragon swooped down on me unexpectedly. I knew I couldn't take him out in the open, so I found a tall stone to duck behind when he blew his ice breath. While he flew around, I stayed covered so as not to get hit with his breath. When he would land, I would pick away at him with my bow or a combo of fire and lightning magic (dual wielding!), all while ducking behind the rock to avoid his attacks. Finally, after several close calls, one of my arrows felled him as he tried to take off. As I sat there, I really felt like I had accomplished something. That is one of the major aspects that separates the good games from the great ones: a sense of accomplishment and Skyrim gives you that in spades.
I know what you must be thinking by now: "Where are those 'cracks' you mentioned before all of this high praise?" Not to fear, I haven't forgotten what I said. Skyrim has its issues and they are the same ones we give Bethesda a pass for but have plagued the previous two Elder Scrolls titles, as well as a couple from the Fallout series. The first one is the character models. Though the character models are definitely improved upon from Oblivion, the conversations with people still feel stale and unnatural. They mostly just talk and swing their arms or make a couple of programmed motions. However, the utilization of more than just a few voice actors makes for more interesting interactions with people. You won't have to walk through a town and listen to the same three voices over and over …and over.
Along with the characters, the animations have definitely been improved upon. However, Skyrim still falls short of what most would call "great looking" animations. First-person view is definitely the way to go, so as not to see the jerking and odd looking movements as you attempt to do anything other than run in a straight line. Climbing up or down mountains in third-person is just silly looking and most of the time a good deal of your character gets sunk down into the mountain. This, as you can imagine, looks ridiculous. Pop-in textures also plague the lands of Skyrim, although they aren't as annoying as Oblivion. Still, it can get quite annoying to see a table, door, or even a person *POP* into view out of thin air.
Finally, the load times are still annoyingly long and happen at inopportune times, such as in the middle of a conversation. They also plague you when you enter new areas, so just be ready. Lag also plays an irritating role in Skyrim. It's nothing that will get in your way too much, but it can hinder gameplay at times.
These small (yet almost signature for Bethesda) problems may get on your nerves while you play, but they will certainly not ruin what may arguably be your greatest Elder Scrolls experience. Bethesda have always prided themselves on their immense games, combined with a grand storytelling and gameplay experience. Skyrim is nothing if not all of this and more, now with fluid combat and a leveling experience that is truly your own. It may not be perfect, but it is something to be admired and enjoyed.

Des Allemands couple charged with burglary of gun, prescription drugs
Jonathan Menard - Nov 17, 2011
Two Des Allemands residents have been arrested after authorities say they stole several prescription medications and a gun from a neighbor and then refused to open their door to deputies.
Members of the St. Charles Parish Special Response Team eventually had to go into the home where they say they found the stolen loot that included six different types of stolen prescription drugs.
Travis Justice, 32, and Tiffany Bagley, 29, both of 136 Dufrene Lane in Des Allemands, have each been booked with an abundance of charges including resisting an officer, simple burglary, obstruction of justice and use of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance.
According to Sheriffs Office spokesman Capt. Pat Yoes, a nearby home was burglarized and a weapon and prescription medication was stolen. Yoes said that the person whose home was burglarized confronted Justice and Bagley about the incident and the two eventually fled back into their home.
"We developed information during our investigation that allowed us to secure a search warrant," Yoes said. "When officers arrived on the scene they used a PA system to ask the two to come outside their home, but a short time later officers had to go in."
Yoes said inside officers found the stolen medication, which included Toradol, Relafen, Requip, Xanax, Fanax and Darvocet.

Choose Between Two Options
- $29 for four weeks of 45-minute Baby Bear or Little Roo's gymnastics classes for one child age 18 months–4 years old (a $72 value)
- $35 for four weeks of 60-minute Daredevil or Twisters gymnastics classes for one child age 5 or older
Kids' gymnastics classes take place once a week and are divided by age. Older groups are divided between boys and girls as well, to focus on appropriate skills such as motor functions, basic jumps and rolls, and apparatus-based gymnastics.
The U.S. Gymnastics Academy
Helping youngsters succeed in gymnastics comes as second nature for husband-and-wife coaching duo Rosen Manolov and Neli Manolova, whose own daughters, Rali and Iva, grew up practicing gymnastics under their direction and now lead classes at The U.S. Gymnastics Academy. Rosen's stint as the men's gymnastics coach for Bulgaria at the Sidney Olympics and Neli's years of competing internationally are experiences they call upon while guiding aspiring gymnasts toward their personal goals, whether they be to join an Olympic team or to dramatically end conversations with back handsprings.
The U.S. Gymnastics Academy's sprawling 13,000-square-foot facility provides enough elbow room for fledging flippers to flourish, and its in-ground trampolines, foam pits, and high-quality equipment ensure a safe and fruitful learning environment. The world-class coaches also host various fun and creative summer camps, where kids tumble, draw, and learn to build campfires by high-kicking kindling in rapid succession.

Hello peoples,
I have mangled up the following to add fixed position left/right scroll links to a horizontal scrolling site:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#container').append('

«

»

');
$('.right a').click( function(){
$.scrollTo( '+=600px', 900, {axis:'x'} );
return false;
$('.left a').click( function() {
$.scrollTo( '-=600px', 900, {axis:'x'} );
return false;
I'd really like to make it conditional on there being a need to scroll. Any idea what the best way to detect this would be?
Thanks in advance,
//scrol 1px to the left
//check if it scrolled
// if this is 0 than jQuery was not able to scroll to left
// because there is no posibility to (no scroll bar)
if($(document).scrollLeft() != 0){
// x-scroll
alert('there is a horizontal scroll bar\
you must have a small screen');
// no x-scroll
alert('there is NO a horizontal scroll bar');
//scroll back to original location
that should workInd It is quite invisible
note: only tested it in chrome, but it should work in the others
Ha! That works like a charm. I had been looking at ways to detect the presence of a scroll bar by calculating element sizes vs. window/viewport size etc etc and it was all getting very convoluted! I didn't think to just scroll the damn thing! Thanks!

COLUMBUS, OH -- No. 21 Florida State suffered an ugly defeat at the hands of No. 15 Ohio State in their ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup, falling 77-64. The loss, which came in the final game of the 11th annual event, gave the Big Ten their first ever victory in the Challenge, 6-5.
"I thought we just got beat by a team that in my opinion played with a lot more of a sense of urgency than we did," Florida State head coach Leonard Hamilton said. "We didn't match their intensity level."
Once again, Florida State (6-2) struggled on the offensive end. The Seminoles committed 20 turnovers while shooting just 25-for-61 (41.0%) from the field and a woeful 2-for-16 (12.5%) from the perimeter. The Seminoles once again started slow and sloppy committing 12 turnovers in the opening half.
"Once again, I think we cannot and make 12 turnovers in the first against the 15th ranked team in the country and expect to compete at this level," Hamilton said. "Most of the turnovers that we had, if you go back and look at them, they were unforced, poor decisions."
Early turnovers, and a general lack of focus in the opening half, is something that plagued the Seminoles throughout their recent road trip.
"It is just something we have got to correct over this next period before Christmas break, before we get into the ACC," sophomore forward Chris Singleton said. "If we keep doing this and playing this type of competition. It is going to be a rough season."
The Seminoles were not much better on the defensive end, allowing Ohio State (7-1) to shoot 25-for-58 (43.1%) from the field and an impressive 12-for-28 (42.9%) from the perimeter. Leading the 3-point barrage for the Buckeyes was guard Jon Diebler, who was 6-for-12 from deep on his way to 22 points.
"I've got to take my hat off to Jon Diebler," Hamiltons said. "Our scouting report certainly told us to look out for him but he was tough to find. They did a good job with some misdirection and kick-out plays that got him open. His performance gave them an extra edge and kept their entire team in rhythm."
Starting point guard Evan Turner led all scorers racking up 25 points en route to a double-double (13 rebounds).
"He is as advertised," Hamilton said of Turner. "He is a great guard that was very difficult for us to handle."
For the Seminoles, they were led in scoring by center Solomon Alabi, who had 21 points and 10 rebounds in the losing effort. Derwin Kitchen contributed 12 points while freshman guard Michael Snaer had 10 points coming off the bench.
Sophomore forward Chris Singleton, who entered the game as the Seminoles' leading scorer, had only eight points and fouled out with more than six minutes remaining in the game.
Hamilton's club wraps up their grueling road trip with a 4-2 record over the six games away from Tallahassee. He is glad his team will now return home, and enjoy a few days of work amongst themselves.
"We get a chance to come home and get some practices under our belt and regroup," Hamilton said. "These have been learning experiences for them and I am sure we are going to benefit from the caliber of competition that we have had to play this early in the season."
They will now return home to face Florida International this Sunday at 1 p.m. That game will be televised on SUN Sports.

Soluzioni: A Practical Grammar of Contemporary Italian comprises an engaging reference grammar with related exercises in one volume.
Using an appealing visual layout, Soluzioni explains the main topics of modern Italian grammar in clear and concise language. Real language examples and plenty of varied and imaginative exercises show how grammar works in practice. No prior knowledge of linguistic terminology is required.
Features include:
This new and third edition has been fully revised and updated throughout and continues the accessible methodology and focus on contemporary usage that has made Soluzioni the clearest and most comprehensive pedagogical grammar available on the market today. More attention has been paid to the link between grammar and communicative functions, and those between grammar, context and register, and there has been expanded coverage of key areas of difficulty such as tense usage, the subjunctive, word order, causative verbs and verbs of perception. In addition, there are many new exercises. The companion website has also been revised to offer more resources for both students and instructors.
Suitable for class use and independent study, Soluzioni is the ideal grammar reference and practice resource for all learners of Italian, from beginners to advanced students. It is particularly suitable for fast track use in ab-initio courses at university and at colleges.
'Together with its companion website, this new edition of Soluzioni constitutes a useful resource for learners at different levels of proficiency. It can function as a reference book, thanks to its detailed and comprehensive presentation of Italian grammar (including an analytical index of forms and topics at the end of the volume). At the same time, the presence of practical exercises (with keys) and explanations of grammatical terms make it suitable for both class use and independent study.' - Dr Alessandro Carlucci, Faculty of Medieval & Modern Languages, University of Oxford, UK
Praise for second edition:
'Comprehensive but not daunting, clearly laid out in table form followed by exercises, this a very helpful tool for those adult learners, specialists and non-specialists, who wish to gain a more in-depth understanding of the language than is possible by simply following a textbook.' - Dr Elisabetta Tarantino, formerly at Department of Italian, University of Warwick, UK
