Today couldn't be any worse of a day. I had this great day planned to go through a bunch of clothes with my mother in law and now my phone won't work. We cancelled our house phone because we were never on it and we both have cell phones. Now, my cell phone is acting like it's been stolen. It's restricted all of my calls and won't let me call anyone. I normally wouldn't care, but i'm far to pregnant to not have any means of communication.

I'm waiting for my mother in law to hopefully get here soon so we can at least go to the 'nextel' store to see what the hell is wrong with it....But I don't know if she's gonna come being that she can't get through to me. I know it's ridiculious but it makes me wanna cry. I really can't walk anywhere and use anyone's phone cuz I don't live near anyone I know.

I just needed to vent....Thanks for listening

Yeah, that stinks. : / does nextel not have a web site where you can get online support?

Also, I would hope your mil would come by. Especially since she can't get you. If it were me, i'd worry something had happened and would want to find you right away. Lol. But i'm paranoid like that sometimes. ;)

She'll probably come to check on you, I would think she would definitely come since you're so close to your due date and she can't get through to you. It'd probably worry her and she'll probably rush right over. Does she have a cell. If so, you can text her cell online for free if you're that worried.

I know that my phone will just dial the cc center if there is something wrong with my phone. Like if I call my mom and I have restricted calls it will just dial me into the network, kinda like I dialed the 1800 number. You can't access the network by dialing certan numbers like #777 (thats the one on my phone to reach ccc)

i hope everything works out for you.

I e-mailed nextel and they didn't send a return yet. When I say it won't let me do anything, I mean nothing!! Lol...I even tried to dial the 'nextel care' and it wouldn't let me. I dialed 911 just to see what it would say and hurry up and hang up; and it let me through...So I was kinda eased knowing that.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with it. I talked to my .Fiance this morning before it started acting up and everything was fine. Now, it keeps turning on and off and not letting me dial out. People that call me just get the voice mail.

Imma have to go to nextel this afternoon when my man gets home. It's just sooo frustrating!!! I was just gonna go to target and get some essentials:like a breast pump and swap out my swinger/cradle thing. And now my afternoon is jam packed!! Grr...I can feel my ankles swelling already!!! Oh man my pelvis hurts sooo bad!! Do you think they'd look at me funny if I rode around in one of those automatic wheel chairs at target?!?!? Haha...I know I can't walk longer than 10 mins without being in pain.

That's really frustrating - i'm sorry, .Sarah. :( when did you say you were supposed to go shopping with your mil? Hopefully she stops by, or if she doesn't, you can wait till your fiance comes home and use his cell to call her (his works, right?). In the meantime, try to focus on doing something else and keep an eye out for your mil. Good luck hun!

Yea, she finally came. We didn't do what we had planned, but we did go to lunch at this little .Mexican restaurant....Mmmm, the quesidilla was soooo good!! Anyways...After that I just wound up coming home and going through stuff by myself. The other day one of my moms co-workers gave her 3 garbage bags stuffed with baby clothes!!! They are all 0 - 6months too!! There is noooo way she's gonna be able to wear all of these clothes. Literally, she will .N.E.V.E.R wear the same outfit twice. Trying to find room for all of these clothes is a dooozey too!!

It's 5 o'clock and i'm waiting on my .Fiance to come home and grace me with his presence!! Lol...He was soooo nervous that he couldn't get in touch with me alll day.

Laundry is what i've been doing since coming home from lunch. I'm about 38, maybe 39 (seriously, I stopped counting) weeks, so i'm in no rush for her to come out. I'd rather be over due than have her now. But she may have other plans....We'll see on wednesday!!

Thanks for all your replies!!!

It sounds to me that you need to get your home phone hooked back up for a while or get in touch with the cell phone company! This can be a big priority!
Good luck!

Yea I hope i'm having a girl too!!!!!!!!!! I would be soooo pissed, not because I wouldn't love the boy to death, but because everything we got and own is .P.I.N.K!!!! I've always had a gut feeling that it was a girl though. If I can make it to my next ultrasound, which isn't tomorrow, but next .Wednesday, then we'lll see for sure. But if i'm starting to dialate tomorrow than I might get the ultrasound tomorrow. Which would suck because my .Fiance wouldn't get to be there...But it's all good.

Well, I went and got a pre paid phone yesterday for the time being. I said caca on the other phone!!! I hate cell phones because they're so damn technical!!! I went to target last night and got a caca load of baby hangers and my breast pump!!!! It's sooo cool! Lol...Of course I didn't use it becasue that stimulates uterine contractions....Soooo we'll see how good it works. I also traded in my aquarium cradle swing, for the naturals cradel swing...It's tan and green instead of alll blue.

My ankles swoll up to the size of incredibly cabbages!!! I was walking around target holding my crotch because it literally felt like she was gonna fall out. After 10 mins. Of that...I'd had enough and had to cut the trip short!!! Lol...Paiiiiinnnfull!! Lol...

Lol...My fiance was like...People are staring!! Haha...But people stare reguardless...It's like noone has .E.V.E.R seen a pregnant woman!!! I haven't gotten initial eye contact in about 6 months!!! People immediately look down at my belly first and then they look at me! Lol....I guess I got used to it so it doesn't really bother me that they were staring last night!!!
