Well since the "Water" here is doing its job I wanted to see how many of us Preggos there were! :D Just being inqusitive!

I am.... 24 weeks today! my belly is huge too! and I am up more pounds that I would like to! :D

Wow...I can't believe how many of us on here are prego!!

I'm 11 weeks and thank goodness have not experienced any morning sickness:)

About 5 1/2 weeks here!! It is so exciting!!:)

I'm gonna be a GRANDMA May 5 2007... it's a girl!!
Do Grandma's count? :D

33 weeks and counting here. Glad to hear everyone's pregnancies are relatively smooth sailing!

For those that know the sex....

Did y'all guess it before hand (as if you "knew) or was it a complete shock?

I am 19 weeks and counting down to 24.

I am the one having a more difficult pregnancy then most. so if you can spare a few extra postive thoughts for this one to stay inside until 32 weeks at the very least I would really apperciate it

All the best thoughts I got are coming your way KirbysMama!!!

I just came on to wish everyone a healthy pregnancy :o:
All my best!

Hope everything goes well. I understand how worrisome it can be when there are troubles. Take care of yourself!!

Olivia is 4 months now. But when we found out we were pg, I knew we were having a girl. I only liked girl names. I didn't care for a single boys name. We found she was a girl I was like 26 weeks. My DH and his family were shocked because, they are all boys and one other grand daughter.

29 weeks here, everything is sailing smoothly cept for the morning sickness that just won't go away, I guess it will in about 2.5 months! I've only gained 10lbs and I have my big belly now.....can't wait to see what it looks like in another month!

No names yet....we have some possibilities, but DH doesn't want to share them. This makes the 5th grandson on DH's side, no girls! Makes it an even split for my side, because my brother has a beautiful little girl.

I wish everyone nothing but the best and healthy pregnancies!

Another one here. I am 35 weeks. We are having a boy this time and I was happy and surprised. This pregnancy was completely different than the first, which was a girl. With her no morning sickness but I gained 52lbs. Ugh! This time I was sick all day long for the first trimester, have gained 20lbs. and carrying much different. With my daughter I was a beach ball carrying all around. This one is more in front and lower. Good luck to all, can't wait to hear all the updates. I've been having Braxton Hicks on and off since Christmas. Mostly hits at night lately before bed and I can feel my hips loosening cuz they ache all the time. And he is a little soccer player in there. I feel like the guy in Alien with that thing about to burst out of my gut!

Im totally off on this one too. :rolleyes: 18 weeks here....only put on a few pounds, but have "spread" at the hips enough that I am down to a few pairs of my own pants to wear. :roll2: AND this one came with morning sickness for the first trimester, issues sleeping already and these sinus problems - which neither of my other 2 boys offered. With the other 2 I was not at all sick and sailed thru both pregnancies without problem.....this little bugger has proven to be a real pain in my bootey already. We are crossing our fingers its a girl and looking forward to a positive and "showing" ultrasound soon. :D

NEXT!! :)

Well, it is 3:45 in the morning and I just can't seem to sleep....this has been happening for about a week now, this waking up numerous times in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep.:( I hope this is just me thinking too much when I wake up and not a sign of things to come....only 2 more hours until I have to get up...I should go back to bed! Did/does this happen to anyone else?

Kirbysmomma - Im praying your little one sticks like glue to your belly and doesnt move for the next few weeks!

I cant believe how many of us there are! I was 35 weeks yesterday and luckily ive had a fairly easy pregnancy. Nothing much to complain about until the last few weeks. I started with the Braxton Hicks around x-mas also, and my hips feel like theyre going to tear apart! owww! It's funny cause as soon as I hit my 3rd trimester I started again with the AM sickness. Not fun! Dr said its cause she's pushing on my stomach.

Anyway,
Allykat, i knew this was a girl! DH almost had me convinced it was a boy, but I stood firm! ;) It's nice cause he is one of 3 boys and this is the first grandchild and its a girl so everyone is REALLY excited. I think 95% of her clothes are pink!

Question for everyone....Is this your first baby?? Just interested in how many of us will be first time mommies and who is a little more expierienced in this field?? :brow:

I keep thinking that mine will be a girl also..that's why I was wondering!! I have so many friends/family that are due between April-Aug that it's gonna be baby season:)

This is our first! I can't help but admit we are scared #$#%^ about how we'll afford the baby and what kind of parents we'll be.

Oh us too!!!! I think DH is more scared than I am. Ive been carrying this little munchkin so I already have a bond with her. DH can watch me grow and feel her kick, but its different for him. he doesnt have the physical bond yet.

How are your DH's doing with this??? When Elizabeth kicks it freaks Chris out! lol So funny.

I got somewhat melancholy yesterday thinking I'd never get pregnant and have another child again. I always have wanted a girl.

Perhaps in a few years we can adopt.

I am at almost 19 weeks. This is my first. We will hopefully be finding the sex out on the 19th so cross your fingers that the little one will not be hiding what sex they are! I am doing good now, the first trimester was AWFUL but other then some back ache I am feeling much better.

AWW Im sorry Michelle. When I get tired of mine ill ship her to you ;)

Adoption is awesome though. I have a friend that adopted and infant girl, i guess about 3 years ago. She is the most amazing kid! They have never been happier. Theyre looking into getting a boy soon. Ill tell you though, sometimes it takes a few years just for the paperwork.

Did/does this happen to anyone else?

I had terrible insomnia with Anthony. Kicked in around the 7th month. This time it kicked in alot earlier. Oh, and somehow, at 33 weeks I have only gained 8lbs as of my last appointment a week and a half ago. I think this baby is gobbling up my fat from my last preganncy. Woo-hoo!!!

Good luck finding out the sex Lyndzee! We didnt find out until 25 weeks, she was a stubborn one!! :) Is your little one kicking alot now??

I am only 5 weeks 2 days. I am having awful back pain. Did anyone else have this so early. I am a little worried. I don't go to the doctor for 2 more weeks. I think I might call today, just to be on the safe side.

Upper or lower back pain? it is pretty normal to feel crampy, kind of period-y the first few eeks, but I would call if I were you just to be on the safe side.

Well lucky you Jen! :p:

I wish Elizabeth would gobble instead of me! lol

Its getting alot harder for me to sleep now that im so far along. im up about 3-4 times a night. My hips are really making it hard for me to sleep. It hurts when im on my sides. I hope you ladies dont have a rough 3rd trimester. All I want to do now is sleep!

I would definetly call if you are worried! Do not feel like you shouldnt call just to ask a question. You might have some spotting too. Its normally just the implatation that is causing it!

Best of luck to all you pg ladies out there! :clap:

We've been TTC our second child for months now with no luck....I hoping it will happen soon.

We'll pass along the water cindy! dont you worry! lol

I think we should bottle and market this stuff! ;)

Congrats to all of you who are expecting!! I am now going to step quickly out of this thread before I get some of that fertile Lab Board water on my fingers or something....;)

Well lucky you Jen! :p:

I wish Elizabeth would gobble instead of me! lol




A little lucky. I gained 38 with Angelina, lost about 1/2 of that, got pregnant two more times (2 MC:( ), then got preganant with Anthony, gained about 25 lbs, again lost about half of that and then got pregnant when Ant was 9 mos old. So....I actually am still way behind in losing baby weight!

AWW Im sorry Michelle. When I get tired of mine ill ship her to you ;)

Adoption is awesome though. I have a friend that adopted and infant girl, i guess about 3 years ago. She is the most amazing kid! They have never been happier. Theyre looking into getting a boy soon. Ill tell you though, sometimes it takes a few years just for the paperwork.


Yeah, I've looked into it. Yesterday I was doing a little research online. It was sooo sad, b/c the only children available in Alabama were over 8. The average age is around 13-16. I would only want an infant though and I know they are almost impossible to obtain. International adoption would cost around $30 grand I think. We've always talked about it though, and hope to do it in the future.

Best of luck to you Michelle :hug:

We've only tried for a month with no luck, but hopefully we'll have some baby dust this next time of trying. I hope that an ovarian cyst won'd hinder my chances. I also hope we don't have troubles. It's kind of scary not knowing if you can/can't have a baby.

Good luck to all of you who are due. Hopefully I'll be joining you sometime in the next few months or so!! :)

Lots of Baby dust to you mommies who are trying!!! It always makes me feel bad thinking about all the loving couples who want a baby so bad but cant have one, and then theres those of us who wernt even trying. I pray that god sends a blessing to you all!!!

With out going to the doctors how do you figure out your due date?

You take the first day of your last period and count ahead 9 months and 7 days. So say your first day of your last period was December 9 You would go to September 9 plus 7 days you would be considered due on September 16th. I think!!!

With out going to the doctors how do you figure out your due date?


I sent you an informative PM.


PS...I've found some forums for women who are trying to get pregnant. It's kind of nice to read!

Don't feel bad. Every woman's body is different. I hope I don't have trouble, but if we do, we'll deal with it. I'm so excited for all the new mommies to be. Yes, it's frustrating that some of us have to try and try...and try some more, but you all shouldn't feel bad. Just send some baby dust and some lab board water and maybe a few thoughts and that would help a lot.

Like I said, we've only tried for a month, so you never know!!;)

11/22 = 9/5/07???

try babycenter.com
I think they have a calendar
and they have great message boards

If 11/22 was the first day of your last cycle and you have a 28 day cycle the estimated due date would be 8/29 and you would be exactly 6 weeks today. :)

Try this website
http://www.babycenter.com/calculators/duedate/

HAHAHAHA

Try this....
It is the cost to raise a child calculator. By the time Elizabeth is 18 we will have spent almost $600,000 to raise her. (estimate of course!)

WOW!

If 11/22 was the first day of your last cycle and you have a 28 day cycle the estimated due date would be 8/29 and you would be exactly 6 weeks today. :)

So a 35 day cycle would be Sept 5

Sarah,

I totally feel your pain. Although it does get better....for me the first few months of pregnancy this time were awful. I was up every night aroud 2:30 or 3 until around 4:30. And it wasnt to potty. :rolleyes: I would just toss and turn and could NOT find a comfortable position.....that has since passed, lol. So no worries - things get better, promise!! :)

exactly hallie! :)

Congrats to all the preggos!!! Enjoy it, I know it sucks now, but you will miss it someday. My baby is going to be 10 months this month and boy did it fly! I sometimes wish I was still pregnant anticipating her arrival!

:)

I know, i keep thinking about how much I am going to miss the kicks and punches and the little hiccups! Ill have her here, but im gonna miss that stuff.

Oh my goodness she is almost 10 months :eek: :eek: Wow does time fly fast!

I'm about 8 weeks...not exactly 100% sure though! I have my first prenatal appointment on Thursday so I'll find out for sure then. I've been having horrible sickness...I can't wait for it to go away. It seems like any little thing that smells icky sets it off.

We've only tried for a month with no luck, but hopefully we'll have some baby dust this next time of trying. I hope that an ovarian cyst won'd hinder my chances. I also hope we don't have troubles. It's kind of scary not knowing if you can/can't have a baby.

I had surgery on a rather large ovarian cyst in the beginning of October and was told we could start trying in November. So we did and I found out that I am about 5 1/2 weeks along!! Good luck!:)

Congrats to all the pregnant ladies and grandmothers-to-be!

Hey everyone, another mommie-to-be checking in here. I'm due may 10th and have found out that it will be a baby girl. I am so happy :) Naming her Audree Leigh

YEAH!!! A girl!!! Everyone seems to be having boys on here. lol One for the pink team!:p:

We also just found out we will be having a baby girl sometime in May (I am having to have a c-section for health reasons)

oh that is wonderful. Are you nervous about the c-section?? It's a possibility I might need one (I have a narrow pelvis supposivly)

We also just found out we will be having a baby girl sometime in May (I am having to have a c-section for health reasons)

Hurray :clap: Congratulations!!

oh that is wonderful. Are you nervous about the c-section?? It's a possibility I might need one (I have a narrow pelvis supposivly)


Don't worry Sarah, my sister had 2 c-sections. My first nephew was breach so they had no choice & since she already had one they suggested to have another one. She was sore for about a month & couldn't exercise, lift anything heavy (minus the baby of course). She used a bop that round baby pillow that helps a baby sit up around her waist so she could lift him up enough to feed him.

Think the girls are winning out now!

oh that is wonderful. Are you nervous about the c-section?? It's a possibility I might need one (I have a narrow pelvis supposivly)

I was not worried until my sisters relived her horry stories. I had a similiar operation in October to remove a large Fibroid and had no problems with the recovery where as both my sisters had the same surgey and had huge issues. One sister also had c-section and told my how horrible she felt:eek: I am not worried as my DH - is taken family leave for a couple of weeks to help out with the baby. As long as he can lift her to me we should be okay:D

oh that is wonderful. Are you nervous about the c-section?? It's a possibility I might need one (I have a narrow pelvis supposivly)


Its not that bad. I had to have a C Section becuase of Kaleigh's heart rate when I went into labor. Honestly I was happier having it because I don't think I could have handled the pain any longer. I have a low tolerance for pain. The first 2 weeks after are a bit hard, try to get someone to help you out during that time. Stairs etc are difficult but it really wasn't that bad. I wouldn't worry too much about it! Good luck!

When does round ligament pain start? I'm only 11 weeks but the last 2 days I've been having pain shooting around on my right side. It seems to be all around the rib cage area and it stops if I sit but when I'm active I feel like the biggest wuss!!

I think I'm gonna take a tylenol...

We also just found out we will be having a baby girl sometime in May (I am having to have a c-section for health reasons)


CONGRATS!!!!!

The ligament pain really scared me at first. I had no idea it would hurt so much. I didnt start stretching until about 17-20 weeks. Thats when I remember the pain coming alot at least. I would check with your dr to be sure. :)

This will be my third C-section. I have had no problems with them, and actually prefer it compared to my friend's stories of the baby come out the "other" way. The second section I delivered on Friday morning and was home by Sunday afternoon. No biggie!!! Ha!

I guess I worry as much about a C/S as a normal delivery. Things could happen either way I guess. The unknown! I hate it!

I think it it always like that with your first one. The only thing I can say is "expect the unexpected!" It can go either way. Ive had friends that have had SUPER easy first deliveries. Then there was me, in labor over thirty hours, all kinds of stuff going on, then C-Section. I was scared at first, but really surprised at how quick the recovery was from it. As long as the baby comes out healthy, it doesn't really matter how it got out. At least tht is what I think. Try not to worry too much. Everything will work it's way out (pun intended!!)!

Preggo here!! I am 13 weeks. This is our first. I am thinking it is a boy for some odd reason. I am carrying the baby high and I already gained 3 pounds not good. The boy names we have picked out are Graysen Ryan, Brayden Ryan, or Grayden Ryan. If you can't tell Ryan will be the middle name. The first name I am trying to somewhat name after my grandfather whom pasted away less than a year ago. His name was Ray. So Ray is in all of those names. Right now we only have 1 girl name Addison Sue, Addyson Sue. I have been feeling pretty good other than TRYING to sleep at night. I can't seem to sleep very good. I am always awake or flipping sides. I feel like I am hurting the baby if I don't lay on my right side.

My thoughts and prayers are with all you other preggos out there!

I went to another Dr.s appt today. Everything looks great. I have been having Braxton Hicks daily, but dr. says my cervix is still closed but the membranes are thinning and my body is preparing thats why all the small contractions. Still on schedule however for Feb 12th approx.

just an FYI for the pregnant lady with back pain. I have purchased a belly band belt from Motherhood and my back pain has gone from unbearable to just minimal.

Congrats to all the new moms to be! I had Garrett at the end o f August, and he is gonna be 5months at the end of this month! Time FLIES!
I had a vaginal birth, and he came out sunnyside up..... Ya know my theroy? It hurt regardless, i was only in active labor for 5 hours. I had minimal contractions for about 6 before that, I was at home "nesting" and getting ready. You just get the point in labor that you dont care how it comes out, you just want it out.. You have already experienced the worst of the pain - i thought contractions were worse than pushing, cuz when you push you kinda get some sense of relief. They were gonna give me a CS, cuz i was stuck at 8cm for like 3 hours, then all of a sudden i was ready! I pushed him out in 45 min, and it was my first baby. Every woman is different, just know that the end result is a beautiful baby, and you forget very soon after the pain. I would much rather go thru labor for a day or two over being pregnant for 9 months tho!!! lol....
BTW- i just popped in to say congrats and give my experience. I am NOT pregnant, nor do i want to be.... But two of my cousins just found out they are pregnant - must be a baby boom going on

I am getting so excited now! Just reading everyone's posts about how theyre doing. Im so glad everyone is well and healthy.
We went last night and got Elizabeth's bedding. I absolutley love it.
Here's a few pics (not very good ones!)

As DH calls them "Jumbo" Pictures! lol :p:

Sarah I love the bedding! Where did you find that??

Thank you! We found it at Babies R Us. I was so excited I couldnt wait to get it on the crib! It isnt even washed yet. lol

I love the crib and the bedding! We just got our crib last night and I cannot wait to get it all put together :):)

It's so nice having her nursery almost done. we just need miniblinds and curtain rods to hang the valances. She's almost here! :)

Awwwww!!! What color did you paint her room?

I was holding off on the painting only because we rent right now (looking to buy) and if we move soon we didnt want to have to repaint everything. lol Im lazy! I was looking into just hanging a few cute pictures and things and seeing what comes about with the house hunting.

Ahhh! That's sorda what we ran into, but we own a home & are trying to fix it up and sell it. The room we are planning on using is the computer room which we now have to figure out where to put everything thats in there :roll2: Plus we have to paint and sand/refinish the floor because the inlaws (we took over their house) painted the room before my BIL was born and there is paint splatter every where on the floor :eek: which is basically 30 years old now.

Glad we got some time though!!

Oh yeah. You have pleanty of time. Just make sure DH does all the moving and painting and refinishing! lol You're doing enough!!! :D

My motto!!! haha

I can't wait to find out the sex b/c I want to start decorating so badly:D I have another few months to go though:o:

I just found out Monday that I'm 10 weeks. I found out because I was going in for x-rays of my wrist (I have carpal tunnel) and they did a pregnancy test before and it came out positive. Kinda a shock for me, we weren't even trying (we've only been married for 5 months) and I've had AF normally for the past 2 months. The Dr. said that could sometimes happen, but I can't help but be worried that something will go wrong.

I'm also a little freaked out, I haven't been able to tell Travis yet cause he's at training for his deployment to Iraq until the 24th of this month and I can't get ahold of him there. He leaves for Iraq February 6th for 6-8 months so hopefully he'll be back just in time.

Luckily one of my good girlfriends has offered to help me out. She has a 4 year old boy and an 8 month old girl so its definately helpful having someone experienced to call on.

I've been pretty lucky, no morning sickness, but I've turned into a complete night owl. I stay up most of the night and sleep most of the day. Kinda driving me nuts, lol.

Congrats to all the other preggos out there! Good luck to all of you! :)

Oh Stacey! Congrats to you and DH!

My best friend is in your exact situation. They got married, 2 weeks later she found out she was pregnant, and the next day he got his orders to go to Iraq. She is 28 weeks and hopefully he will be home by March (the baby is due in april).

BTW, I also had AF for the first 3 months of my pregnancy! I'm now almost 36 weeks, so don't worry too much! Just stay healthy and let us know what DH says when you talk to him! How exciting!!! :) Please dont hesitate to PM me!

Sorry to ask a stupid question but what is a "AF"?

lol it isnt stupid! "Aunt Flow" ;)

lol it isnt stupid! "Aunt Flow" ;)

Ohhhh!! :bang: should have know that :floor

lol Dont worry Hallie, in a few months, you'll be a pro! ;)

I had my prenatal exam yesterday. The first one, and the dr thinks I am either 11.5 weeks, or 7.5 weeks with...twins. It's not a for sure since I dont' have a sonogram scheduled until next week, but it's a definate possibility. My great granny had 2 sets of twins!

Did you take any fertility drugs or anything? (sorry to get personal). How exciting....am suprised that they didn't do a sono on you the first appointment. :worried:

How is everyone coming along. I saw that Ti loup is still waiting. I have another appt. Wed and they will be checking my cervix to see where I am at. Getting hard to sleep at night but have been very tired. Nursery is done. Yippee and I have been cleaning and re organizing everything. tires me out but I just have to do it. Wish DH would get into the garage to re organized the christmas bins laying everywhere. he promised he would do it 2 weekends ago and with baby due in 3 weeks we will see if it gets done or not. Hope everyone is doing well.

Doing Ok here. Had an MD appointment today and she measured my belly and said that I was measuring earlier than due date. Maybe I'll have a march baby afterall!

Not sleeping very well, snoring more - DH is waking me more so that he can get some rest. Not sure why he hasn't relocated yet....guess he loves our bed! :wink:

I noticed this weekend my belly is limiting what I can do, but DH is trying to finish the basement so he's slacking in the other areas of the household chores and it just annoyed me so much that I went a little overboard this weekend to get it all done.

Still have to measure the nursery to figure out where the furniture is going so we can hang the shelves and finish the decorating. Crib won't be here til April (after baby), so I'd like to get that sorted out b4 baby and crib!

Can't wait for him to get here! Hope everyone else is doing well and that the planning and preparing for baby are going smoothly.

Wow, congratulations everyone!

After reading all the happy posts here, it's getting me thinking...
the anticipation of chubby cheeks, soft skin, baby smell....



Nah...at my age, I'm better off with another puppy!!:D
I'll just enjoy vicariously thru you guys!

I just had the worst night sleep ever. My left hip and leg is so sore it's unreal. I feel so yucky!!!

I just had the worst night sleep ever. My left hip and leg is so sore it's unreal. I feel so yucky!!!

OMG I'm so sorry and feel your pain. I had the worst night ever too with my hips. I woke up crying and the DH asked if I was ok. I just need to move my leg to decrease the pain.
Nothings helping with it - I've tried everything! I think I'm going to have to start sleeping in the recliner soon....UGH!

I am right there with you guys. Haven't slept well at all the past few months but the last few night have been really bad. This baby is up kicking all night long. Cannot get comfortable at all. Lots of contractions too. Only 3 weeks and 6 days to go!!!!

Have you tried putting head phones on your belly playing soothing music? We used to play Jim Brickman (wonderful piano player) for the kids when I was working in daycares and not a single sound could wake those little ones up.


Am so sorry everyone is having a hard time sleeping :hug: Hope that soon you can get some rest.

My baby's got dancing feet. Anytime there is music, he kicks like an Irish dancer on crack!!! :p:

Even with elevator music??

You should register for those bouncy chairs that hang on your doorway.

Sorry I meant these...doorway jumpers. I was a nanny for a 4 month old little boy and he just adored the the jumper he would run back and fourth just so he could swing. Its also good for their legs because it makes them stronger so they can walk sooner.

I play a little music box thingy and he still kicks lie crazy. If he is not kicking, he is hiccupping! Inever used one of those doorway jumpers, but my kids have always loved the exersaucers to jump in!

I have my first doctor's appointment tomorrow....I'm very excited and don't know what to expect??? I am a little over 8 weeks along.......:)

I want this jumparoo, my nephew will spend 45 minutes in it just jumping around like a crazy man!

I have a "party in my car" as my DH calls(play my music really really loud) it on my hour commute home from work and my little man doesn't react at all to the music. Wonder if the car motions soothe him? He's most active when I'm doing nothing at the end of the day being a couch potato.

That is tooo cool!! I am going to have to invest in one of those for my SIL

You can still join in the coversation....how is Krista feeling? Do you have a name for your little one yet?

My first appt they did a transvag ultrasound to check everything and we got to see the heartbeat then...it was SO fast!!

The Dr did a health questionnaire about family history and blood and urine tests (at least 7 viles of blood were taken)along with testing for std's and a reg pap to make sure everything was in the right place.

Everytime I go in now I take a urine test first thing.

Good luck....the first one was so neat getting to see the lil' bean:)

My first appointment was with our fertility doctor so they really didn't do much for us. Just did the urine test to make sure i was pregs which the blood work pretty much determined that. Than they did the transvag ultra sound. It was the most amazing thing--I of course cried when I saw the peanuts heart beating. Since our fertility doctor isn't a labor and delivery OB we have a appointment with a new OB which am sure she will do all the things you said above. I am not looking forwarded to all that blood work-bruise to easily for that. :frown:

The bloodwork was so fast the viles just kept filling up;) I'm quick though b/c I usualy donate a few times per year. Hopefully you won't bruise too much.

I go back next week--I hope they'll let me know when I can schedule the ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby :)

and blood and urine tests (at least 7 viles of blood were taken)

Everytime I go in now I take a urine test first thing.



They do the urine test to make sure you don't have any protein which is a sign along with high blood preasure of toximia/pre-eclamsia. As for the many viles of blood......I use to be scared of giving blood but after this pregnancy.....giving blood is a breeze, the amount of times that I've had to go for blood work has me signing up to become a donor.:brow:

Well I had my first appointment!! It was so amazing to see! We saw the little one and saw the (very fast) heartbeat!! We got pics so I can't wait to show people at work...it all seems so real now!! Its so exciting!:D

Had Dr. appt today. She checked my cervix and I am already dilated to 1.5cm. but still thickened membranes so I have more effacement to go. Dr. said she doesnt think I will deliver within the next week, which is good since I live on top of a mountain that does not deliver babies. I plan on going to stay with family near the hospital I am delivering at (2hrs away) towards the end of next week depending on my progress when she checks me next Wed. I am due Feb. 12th but I think this little boy will come a tad early. Getting close, now I am anxious and remembering all the labor pains from before and getting very nervous about that again. Will be soooo excited to find a comfortable position to sleep in and not have those aching hips. Argh! Just got our tempurpedic mattress delivered today so will have a new sleep experience. Just hope water doesnt break in new bed!

Riggs, if you have your baby before me, I'll be so jealous!!

We just had our 4D ultrasound....found out its another boy, that makes 3 for me. :rolleyes: Moved our due date up a few days, so we're due June 6th.....maybe earlier the radiologist thinks......*sigh* Baby is healthy...we spent an hour with the radiologist and she showed us the 4 chambers of the heart, the brain sectors, the blood flow into the umbilical cord etc. It was amazing. She put some pics on a cd and video of the baby opening and closing his mouth while waving. :)

Glad to hear from everyone!! :)

AWWW I love reading everyone's progress! Im still fat and VERY unhappy!! :( Ive been sick as a dog (;) haha) anyway, My suggestion to everyone is do NOT get sick when youre 9 months pregnant! It really sucks!!! We go tomorrow for our weekly appt so pray for progress!!! :)

I'm glad everyone is doing well.

Riggs- I don't want to burst your "I hope to be comfy soon" bubble, but at 36 weeks I was 3 cm and 50% effaced. My doctor told me it could be anyday. That was the longest 4 weeks of my life. My daughter was born on her due date right at 40 weeks. I just wanted to prepare you. The weeks go by slower when you think it is going to happen and it doesn't.

Good Luck to all!!!!!!!!!:)

found out its another boy, that makes 3 for me. :rolleyes:

This is our first, but it's the 5th grandson on my DH's side - I was really holding out for a girl! It'll make an even split for my parents though, my brother had a girl.

I go to my first doctor's appointment tomorrow. I am very excited, but a little nervous also.

I was secretly thinking lots of pink for you:) Maybe the 4th one will be a girl:angel: Glad he's healthy and the 4d ultrasounds sound amazing!! I need to start looking into those.

Oh Kat, I was really hoping girl for you. Boys are fun too though. As for me, I can't test till Saturday. Hoping for a positive. Can't decide if these are pregnancy synptoms,pms, or wishful thinking.

I definetly suggest to everyone to get at least one 4D ultrasound done. We went twice. Once when I was 25 weeks and once at almost 33 weeks. The difference is amazing. I dont have my 2nd set on the computer yet but she has the cutest chubby cheeks, and its amazing to know that she's going to look like me! I think having those done was absolutley worth the investment! We got to see our daughter yawn and breath and suck her thumb before she was even born. Sorry to ramble, but totally worth it! :D

I was hoping for a girl too.....but healthy was/is always first and foremost!!

Hey...I'm not young by any stretch, so I want to hurry things up. My youngest is already 9, so I hope this won't take too long.

Ill let you all handle the "conception" part. :floor But Ill cross my fingers for you thats is a positive....I know with this one I knew I was PG about a week after conception - SICK AS A DOG. :floor The other 2 I had zero nausea.....are you sicky? Feeling icky to the tummy or just tired?

Gross all the way around.I might break down in the morning, but hopefully I will wait till Sat. I don't want to dissapoint myself.:)

Sounds about right to me. :) But if you can wait till Saturday you're better than me....with that I had no control and HAD to test early, lol.

Oh Kat, I was hoping for girly pink too!! Glad to hear the little boy is healthy :hug:

Crossing my fingers & toes for you love4labs!

Sarah was getting a little concerned about you, haven't been on in a while-thought maybe Elizabeth decided to come earlier than expected :wink:

:floor sounds a lot like my SIL little girl. Everytime she lays down to bed there she goes kicking the daylights outta her. They did a 3D ultra sound on her the other day man alive does she have huge pigs!! I asked my BIL where in the world did she get her huge pigs and he said me! I just hope she doesn't get his big nose :floor

I still can't believe I'm still pregnant.....2 days after the due date......

:pat: I was almost a week late when I was born, I think my mom secretly wishes I'll go through the same stuff she did:angel: ....hopefully you'll have the baby soon:D

AWW Tanya!! When do you see the Dr again? Have they given you an induction date yet???

Hallie - I know I was MIA for a few days. I got a really bad head and chest cold so I was in bed most of the time. DO NOT get sick when youre pregnant!!! You can't take anything!!! Oh it sucks!! :) But im doing better now. How are you doing???

Yes our little guy appears to have a large schnoze-ola too. :floor :floor AND a large head thank-you-very-little. Maybe it'll shrink? :rolleyes: Not overly huge but just a large melon....yippee for me during labor! :floor NOT! :floor

I have an ultra sound scheduled for Monday, they're going to check the fluids and how the baby is responding.....just to ensure that the placenta is still functioning. If everything looks good, then I see my doctor on Wednesday, he'll re-evaluate the situation then. If they don't like what they see, they're going to admit me then and there.

You poor thing.....hopefully they'll enduce sooner than later. ;)

Have you thought about getting a pedi? From what I hear its known to get ladies in labor!!

Am so :emb: to ask this question & don't want to gross anyone out....but is it common for ladies to get yeast infections while pregos?

Very Hallie! You can use regular over the counter things, but give your OB a call first. One of my friends is prone to them and basically lived with them on and off throughout her pregnancy! Bladder and Kidney infections are very common also. Had one of them - OWWW!

Tanya I really hope that munchkin comes out of there soon! Was there any progress at all last week? Dialtion? Effacement? He just likes it in there i guess! ;)

Yep Hallie...totally normal. :) You're amongst friends, no need to be :emb:

:)

I still can't believe I'm still pregnant.....2 days after the due date......

I was 3 days late - I was due on 2/28, wasn't born until 3/3. Hang in there (I know it's rough), it'll all be over soon enough!

Am so :emb: to ask this question & don't want to gross anyone out....but is it common for ladies to get yeast infections while pregos?

I had one on and off for over 8 months, just got rid of it in December....... Talk to your doctor, mine perscribed Gynozol I sware by it.

I have news!!!!! I just got done at my Dr's appointment and my dr doesnt think ill make it past next week!!!! We are so excited!! :p:

I have news!!!!! I just got done at my Dr's appointment and my dr doesnt think ill make it past next week!!!! We are so excited!! :p:

What do you mean, you're going to have her next week?

Oh Hallie, I cant even tell you how excited I am!!!! Im actually kinda freaking out now! I cant believe im going to be a mommy soon! YIKES!

Tanya... I KNOW!!!! I couldnt believe it. She said my cervix was so ripe that i would probobly dilate pretty quickly if I got up and started walking alot! I was only 1 cm, but 70 % effaced and "very stretchy and soft".

WOW, that is so cool, I'm so excited for you. Enjoy the last few days, get a lot of rest.

Wow congrats girly, hope all goes well for you and the babies healthy. Wouldn't it be crazy if you had your little one before ti-loup lol.

I think poor Tanya would kill me! ;) I hope that little buggar comes soon for you Tanya!

I think poor Tanya would kill me! ;) I hope that little buggar comes soon for you Tanya!

No, I wouldn't kill you, I'm very envious though........

Congratulations!! I hope the time goes fast for you

Congrats Daisys Momma. Sounds like we are both on the same track. Wishing you a smooth delivery.

Thank you! You too!! :) Is anyone as nervous as I am. I hope Im ready! Sheesh this is scary!

Wow!! You & Chris will be excellent parents don't you worry :hug: I can't wait to hear when she has arrived. I want all the details, well not ALL the details :wink: only weight, length, oz etc.

A kid that works for my FIL was due around the same time you were, she just had her baby on 1/23! Something must be in the air....lets blow some towards Tanya!

Thank you! You too!! :) Is anyone as nervous as I am. I hope Im ready! Sheesh this is scary!


It is scary and exciting. But I have found it to be true that nature does kick in and somehow, you figure out what to do with that pink, squiggly, squirmy, screaming package that you just delivered. And what you don't know, don't be afraid to ask. Don't be afraid to listen to your own instincts as well. It will amaze you how quick that protective mama instinct kicks in!!!

Thank you guys! I went into the Dr's office very confident that i was ready, we were hoping for progress, and i left there terrified. This is actually going to happen. My life will never be the same. Crap thats a wierd feeling. I think poor Chris is freaking out more than me.

I felt the same way when I had my first. Nervous, anxious, wondering if I will do things right and be able to read my babies needs. You will settle in fine and pretty soon you will be so overwhelmed with love for the little one , the nerves fade away. This is number 2 for me and I am feeling anxious and nervous too. Trying to remember all the milestones and do's and dont's but you work it out. My main concern now is giving enough attention to my almost 3 yr. old while their is new baby brother around.

I have news!!!!! I just got done at my Dr's appointment and my dr doesnt think ill make it past next week!!!! We are so excited!! :p:

OMG Sarah - I'm so EXCITED for you!!! I'm a little teary eyed. :)

Well since the "Water" here is doing its job I wanted to see how many of us Preggos there were! :D Just being inqusitive!

Well, I found out a few days ago that I was expecting. :eek:

This is my first child, so I will be asking alot of questions.. :o:

Congrats and welcome to the club. :)

As of 01-30-07 i am 30 weeks! This is our first after several years of fertility treatments and one miscarriage.

Congrats to both of you!!! :) I love hearing that a couple will have a VERY wanted child! I am so happy for you guys! I know several people who have tried and tried and just recently found out they were expecting their first little miracle. Thats one of the best things in the world! Do you know what you're having?

As of 01-30-07 i am 30 weeks! This is our first after several years of fertility treatments and one miscarriage.


Hurray :clap: Welcome to the club!! We to tried for 6 years with one miscarriage and fertillity drugs.

Well, I guess I'm part of the mommy club (or soon to be mommy club) now too! I'm due at the end of March with a baby girl (our first)! It's a crazy, weird feeling to be sure! :eek: Some say time slows down as you get closer to your due date, but for me it seems to be flying by! Maybe that's just because I don't feel quite prepared yet! At any rate, congrats to everyone and hope all goes well for you!

Congrats to you! You arnt far behind! Do you have a name for your munchkin?? This is our first too, and a girl! ;) so exciting isnt it?

Just spilled the beans in the OT section!!

It's very exciting but VERY overwhelming! We've decided to name her Dillon! It's so nice to finally have a name picked out so that we can refer to her by name now! What about you, do you have a name picked out yet?

Elizabeth Faith.

The day we found out it was a girl, I told DH that neither one of us was going to bed that night without a name picked out. We had had a boy name picked out already (DH swore it was a boy!) it took us awhile, but we decided on baby Elizabeth and we're hooked! :)

How sweet! I love your 3D ultrasound pic...so so so cute!

Thank you! I have pleanty of them! lol It the one thing that i am so glad we spent the $ on! (not that it was too expensive) They were so worth getting! I have better ones, but I havnt scanned them into the computer yet.

How far along were you when you did them?

We actually did it twice. The ones i have on here were done when she was 25 weeks. When I went back again we were 33 weeks and they are MUCH better pictures!!! I didnt get those on a disc, so I need to get them scanned. There is such a difference in her in those weeks its amazing!

Sarah what was the boy name you picked out?? DH & I are going back and forth with that....I like Christopher Brian he likes Nicholas. Girl name of course was no problem at all :floor

We actually had 2 that we both liked. Cayden Michael and Christopher Michael Jr.

I really like Christopher.

What are you doing for a girl name? Unless youre waiting to tell! :)

I like Nicholas. I have a nephew named that. Good, strong, solid name!!

As of 01-30-07 i am 30 weeks! This is our first after several years of fertility treatments and one miscarriage.

that's fantastic! Congratulations!

Wow congrats to the 2 new prego members!! The water is spreading like mad isn't it!!:)

I've been sick for 2 days now, it's horrible! Both DH and I came down with a stomach virus:( The only thing worse than being sick is having no one to take care of you!

I went for my first appointment this past Friday. I was a little off on my due date. They did an ultrasound and the baby looks like a little peanut. It seems so much more real now after seeing he/she on the screen. I am now 7 weeks 5 days.

The ultrasound definitely makes it more real! That's nice to hear that someone else was off with their calculation of their due date. After my ultrasound, they ended up moving my due date up by 2 weeks :o: ! Easiest 2 weeks of my pregnancy thus far!

We actually had 2 that we both liked. Cayden Michael and Christopher Michael Jr.

I really like Christopher.

What are you doing for a girl name? Unless youre waiting to tell! :)


Our little girl name is Gabrielle Hope. In Jewish tradition they name the baby after someone that had passed and since both my grandmother & DH grandmother were named Helen there was our H :smile

I like Nicholas. I have a nephew named that. Good, strong, solid name!!

He likes Nicholas because we found out around Christmas time we were pregs so that fits it perfectly but so does Christopher. I am still betting on it being a girl though :floor

We have a bunch of girl names but can't come up with a single boy name! So I'm betting I'll have a boy just to make it more difficult:)

You told me that before, im sorry! I love the name Gabrielle! I suggested that to DH, but his ex's name was Gabrielle so we nixed that idea. lol I like the name Nicholas, but once again, that was my ex's name so id probobly not pick it. Isnt it funny how things like that can change your mind? Kinda like, you like the name, but have it associated with something else. Works both ways.

I definetly think you're having a girl Hallie! I would put $ on it actually! :brow:

your to funny Sarah...thought it looks like the little girls :bow: are winning out here.

I just told 2 guys that I work with since the company first started 6 years ago the one practically jumped out of his seat, the other one jumped up and gave me a huge hug. I swear i was going to cry.....its nice to know I have friends like that at work beyond all the BS people. The one even said oh boy we are going ot have a huge party right before your due (they love to party).

lol they will party, :cheers2: you will drink juice! ;) The downfalls of pregnancy!

Im glad your co-workers are so supportive. It's nice to have that. One girl here just had a baby a few months ago and another is 6 months preggo. So its nice to be able to chat with them every once i awhile about preggo things. Ill tell you what though, now that i know im leaving friday, im pretty darn excited! lol bring on the laziness!!!!! :rolleyes:

ITs the oddest thing...i have a craving for a mixed drink. I have never been a big drinker....maybe once in a blue moon when DH & I go out to dinner I will have one drink, but ever since i got pregos I just look at those mixed drinks and think mmmmm that looks good. Anyone else have the same problem or am i just nuts?

lol I had that too! I ended up making vigin margaritas and DH and I sat there and finished off the blender!

So funny!!! Last night i got up at 1130 because I wanted cereal. This morning I stopped at the deli in our building and got a salad! lol Cravings are awesome!

Congrats and welcome to the club. :)

Congrats to both of you!!! :)

Wow congrats to the 2 new prego members!! The water is spreading like mad isn't it!!:)


Thank you. :)

I'm so excited and scared at the same time. This is uncharted territory for me.. :o:

I have a question.. Did any of you feel gassy your first month of pregnancy?

Thank you. :)

I am 10 weeks Pregnant. This was a surprise pregnancy, I had my tubes tied two years ago after our 4th daughter. So, wish us luck on this one being a boy. I hope so cause so far I have been sick every day and dizzy, and soooo tired.

Congratulations!!! :hug:

Congrats to all the new expectant mommies :clap:

I look forward to reading your progress!

AWW Congrats on the Boy!!! You were meant to have a boy im thinking! Especially after 4 girls! Wow! Thats great news!

Comment on uber gassy the first month or so---YES!! My husband looked at me the same way so don't feel so bad :hug: :floor

Congrats on a unexpected pregnancy--thinking blue for you. I better warn my sister about possibility of her getting pregs again after she got her tubes tied 3 years ago :eek:

I never noticed any gassy feelings at the begining, and alot of people say you get it towards the end, but again i havnt noticed any. Maybe im just lucky! lol

Ok im just so excited!!!! My husbands cousin is pregnant with their second baby! She is due in Spetember and I am so thrilled for them. Their son Kyle JUST turned a year a few weeks ago. I cant believe they're gonna have them so close!

This got Chris and I talking, again, about how close we want our kids. We pretty much agreed that we want them at least 2 maybe 3 years apart.

How long is everyone waiting, or did you wait, in between to get pregnant again?
Or, did it just happen?


My thinking is that I want enough time to spend with Elizabeth before I have to share myself with another baby. Is that selfish?

DH & I have talked on and off about that...am not getting any younger :roll2: & if we decided to have another one I will be in the high risk catagory....so its still up in the air right now

I think 2 1/2 to 3 yrs is a good time. Enough to forget all the bad and icky stuff you went through:rolleyes:

You are pleanty young enough Hallie! My mom had my little sister at 40 and i know people who have had kids well into their 40's.

LOL not that youre anywhere close to 40, just giving motivation!!!!
Am I being nosey asking why they would make you high risk? I know you had trouble conceiving. Please dont be pressured to answer that!!!

Just wanted to drop in and see how all you expectant ladies are doing. I hope all is well.

speaking of age..... how old are all of "us" having babies?!

I suppose since I asked I'll start. I'm 28 and will be 29 when I deliver.

HI Ray!!!

How is the daddy on the board doing?? How is Krista?? Is her M/S gone??

I am 25, ill be 26 in June. DH is 27.

I'm 39 now, and we are still working on getting pregnant with our third. I think I might be the old lady in the group.:) Our first two daughters were two years and 9 months apart, and that was a really good age span for us.:)

I am 28, will be 29 when I deliver and dh will be 29

I am 29, hubby is 32. Our first two were 2 yrs apart (13 & 11), then we waited 6 yrs and our next three were two yrs apart (5 & 2). This one was a surprise but will be almost three yrs younger than the last.

HI Ray!!!

How is the daddy on the board doing?? How is Krista?? Is her M/S gone??
I"m GREAT. Never been better. Krista is doing wonderfully...25 weeks and counting. We just found a PERFECT daycare setting yesterday which was the best birthday present I could have asked for. She feels much better...no more nausea...but is still a bit tired.

And to keep with the theme....Krista is 27...I'm 33.

Am 33 and will be 34 when I deliver, DH is now 34 and will be 35.

Ray I am so glad that you found a daycare! Huge relief im sure!! Im glad Krista is feeling better. Personally 25 weeks through 30 weeks was the best part of the pregnancy for me. I had energy, could sleep, and Chris was finally able to feel the baby. They dont call the 2nd trimester the "honeymoon" for nothing. ;)

Actually I was FINALLY able to feel substantial movement for the first time just a few days ago. It's awfully strange to feel that for the first time LOL. As far as the "honeymoon" goes...consider yourself lucky. She's got a mild issue to deal with that precludes such "activity" :floor It also precludes lifting, or moderate/heavy exercise...things like that. It's no biggie...just something we're watching. We'll have a 3rd ultrasound in about 5-6 weeks.

lol Well I am sorry to hear that "activity" has ceased. RIP

;)

Enjoy feeling that baby move. Im going to miss it so much! We're used to it now and it really hit me the other day that soon ill have my baby girl, but im really going to miss being pregnant. Are you going to get a 3D done still??

No, no 3D for us. We figured with 3 regular ultrasounds, a 4th would probably be pushing it. I know there's no documented issues with ultrasounds, but it just *sounds* like it's too much LOL...

I can't wait. We're starting on the nursery in a couple weeks. For my birthday yesterday, I bought the baby's bedding LOL.

ohhh what did you buy for the bedding?! I love looking at bedding online:)

LOL....we're doing the same basic colors on the wall EXCEPT for the waves. Looking at those things in the picture practically makes me seasick. Besides, the nursey has a chair-rail so the waves probably wouldn't look very good over the char rail.

This is the bedding we decided on for Elizabeth. It has alot of pink and green and cream color in it. The website picture doesnt do it justice. Ill have to take a recent pic of her nursery. Its all done now. :D

You can see the colors better in this picture

Oh I like that Sarah. The colors are so soothing. Did you get the cute little matching diaper bag that's in the pic?

Ray - I love the turtles :) Adorable!

Sarah - that is beautiful and soooooo girly! I love it!

the diaper stacker thingy?? Thats what I took the picture of. It was an entire set that we bought so it all came together. We did buy extra valances for the windows though. It was hard finding girl bedding. I saw a ton of boy bedding i loved. I love the turtles on your set. so cute!

Ya know....girl bedding was more difficult. It was either not girly enough or just over the TOP girly...very little middle-ground. I think you guys made a really nice choice.

Yes, yes. We're all about turtles I guess LOL. We're going to buy a ton of the little accessories that match...little rugs, valances, blankets, a quilt, a lightswitch cover, and a lamp shade :floor We're such suckers!!

DH has limited my shopping now. Im not allowed to buy anything else until after she's born! Im a sucker for those little accessories also. lol I cant tell you how many picture frames I have! It is so easy to buy stuff to go with their room, then I get home and realize that i have to make more space for the things i just got. I have an addiction!

**edited to add**
Now I have my MIL buy everything! ;) Gotta love the grandparents!

Awwww Sarah thats perfect! I want a very light but not to girly room for our little one (if its a girl). For the boy am having such a time finding stuff. Everything I look at is like nuhhhh. I would love to get John Force Racing border (sorry for those that don't know he is a famous Drag Racer). If we did that my parents & inlaws would have a FIT!! :floor

I thought about doing a more boy-ish theme like trucks, or sports, or race cars, but I decided that we can do that kinda stuff when he's a toddler. That way we can make it tailored to his personality.

I love that driving force show!!! Very funny!!! I think you should do whatever you want for the baby's room. I wanted something very simple and still kinda girly and we're really happy with it.

Ill tell you though, the only time i really felt overwhelmed with baby things to do was right after my baby shower. We just got the bedding and I was sitting in her room trying to organize everything. It was horrible! That was one of the most stressful parts of my pregnancy! The laundry was unbelievable! I just want to prepare everyone for that! Trying to wash and organize everything before baby is here is nervewracking!

Yeah....understandable. My goal is to have the nursery done by the date of the first shower (March 17th) so that we can take stuff directly from the shower, wash it (if needed), organize and put it away immediately. I'm sure it's going to be pretty overwelming though.

Ray- Oh it is! lol I thought it wouldnt take any time at all. Then you realize all the things you got that the baby wont need yet. Where the heck i put everything? I dont have a clue!

Hallie I just found these and thought they were SO cute!

Just thought they were so cute! Theres a pink onesie too (in case its a girl!)

My sister in law got the baby a couple of onsies that say "Heartbreaker" and "If you think I'm cute, you should see my aunt" :floor

I am and will be 31 when this baby is born. I was 26 with my first. 29 with my second.

21 with my first

26 with my second

31 with my third :eek:

I never planned for them to be so far apart - such is life tho. *shrugs*

I am trying to find a pic of the onesie I bought for the new baby. It is sorta similar to this, but it says "Baby in Black....Johnny Cash" on it. Trying to get this one too. My husband loves me.

I'm lovin' that Cash onesie! When I get pg with #2 I'm gonna have to get one of those :) Too cute!

My husband is a HUGE JC fan. I got a matching T-shirt for my 17 month old too. They have this Guns-N-Roses onesie that I want to get to..Has the G-n-R logo and says "sweet child o'mine" on it.

lol Ray, although, very possible?

Jen I love that onesie!!! Where did you find that at?? DH is a huge Cash fan! SO cute!!! DH's aunt got Elizabeth an outfit (onesie, sleeper, socks, bib, and hat) that have squirrels on them, and the bib and sleeper say My Family Tree is Full of Nuts!

So fitting for us!!! lol

I don't know if I'll want another. Time will tell :rolleyes:

Dont base it on the first 6 months. :floor :floor

Ok here's the one I got Baby to Be....

http://www.picvault.info/images/537029009_cash2.jpg

I'll be 30 on 3/3 - baby is due 3/39. So much for partying it up for my 30th! :smile: DH will be 32.

I must say I love the choices you all made for your nursery ensembles! I went neutral and have an "adult" theme, I made my own Crib Skirt and Curtain. Decided no bumper - unless I buy a generic one, just don't have the motivation to make my bumpers. Still have to figure out the arrangement of the room and get the pictures/accessories.

I can't wait till June 28-July 1st we are going to the NHRA Nationals and they have HUGE shops there and you know am going to be buying NHRA bibs and onsies out the tail end....i found these really cute ones on NitroMall.com


Lovin the little girl one!!

Kat,

You MUST understand. I have managed to convince myself that the baby will be healthy and happy from birth and sleep through the night. Any discussion to the contrary by you or anyone else is seriously detrimental to my emotional stability.

Please do NOT rock the boat :floor
