Hi Girls,

Where are you all ? I hope everything is fine with you. Sorry for not being regular as I am being busy at work.
Girls in the east coast, my prayers are with you. Seems like now the intensity is decreased, you guys should be fine.
Other than that, how are you all doing ? Looks like every one is tiered due to 9th month blues. Not seeing many messages these days.

Here is my update:
My parents are here and am being pampered nicely. Feeling OK, but little tiered and my ankles and legs are swollen. Trying to keep my feet up always. Planning to come to work till October 3rd, and will take 8 weeks vacation. Yet to pack my hospital bag.

Manvi - Congratulations on your Mom's Visa. When is she planning to come ?
Ritu - InboundUSA seems to be good for visitor's insurance. You can check path2usa(.)com
Reena/Disha - Don't worry everything will be fine.
Nick/Sumana - How are you feeling these days? You are due date is nearing.
Ashra - I will be going for GBS text next week. Hope everything goes fine.
Bargavi/sandhya/Khushi - You must be enjoying with your bundle of joys.Isn't it. Please do write few lines for us whenever you get time.
Radhika/Kalyani/Uma/Sweta/Nikki/Lakshmi/Vidhya/Suni/Manisha/Deepika - How are you all ?

Grils, Do keep in touch and keep the October board active.

Good luck,
Anu.
Lakshmi replied. Hi anu, so glad your parents have arrived and you're being pampered. I guess it's different when you have your parents in law and your own parents.. u know what I mean.

All the best and keep us posted.
Love
lakshmi Radhika replied. Hi anu
Glad to know u r having fun with ur parents. Hope u enjoy the rest before delivery. I hope i can go to work till 15th. Sitting at home alone, will exert more and get bored..
Had my group B strep test...was not painful, but i did hurt my praveen's hand when the doctor checked the cervix..(praveen says he is getting a backup something to hold on to during labour because he may just not have it in one piece later.)anyway was fine with his hands out..no pain and baby is head down posn. which i was praying for and said everything looks great..didn't hear what he said about dilation, but praveen says he said its started dilating. will confirm next visit. forgot to ask details. No pains yet, besides braxtons' contractions. Hoping delivery will be sometime after 15th /20th oct. so i take time off till dec end.
Manvi liked names Aarush and anika. have fun with ur parents too.
Take care .Anu keep updating ur news..glad to hear from u bye
Radhika Manisha replied. Hi Anu,
its good to see your message after a long time. How are u doing?
Good that your parents are here, My PIL will also be here next weekend, just waiting for them.
I also get swelling in feet, but after some care it goes in 2-3 days. Other than drinking water, and reducing on salt, try eating Vitamin C fruits, Kiwifruit really hepls me fast.
Other than that, my husband is telling me that I am snoring, i am worried about it, & talked to doctor but she says its normal. But i don't read the same on net. She is not showing any signs of doing ultrasound in week 36th, right now i am 34 weeks pregnant. I have started the countdown in weeks now.

Rest all is fine here.
Manisha Manvi replied. I thought your parents wld have arrived&hence u disappeared.Nice to know you r enjoying with them.My mom is mostly arriving on Oct 3rd,iam so thrilled finally.
Take care with adequate rest to reduce your swelling.Iam bugged bcos my doc has cancelled my appt for the second time this mth&my visit is delayed by a wk.Anyway this week bcos of the weather it is cancelled.The hurricane effect is over&we didn't have much problem except no water today!Hope we get it by evening.
