Ok, all you prego mommies....its time for a update from you!! How is everyone, doctor appointments going well?

Present and accounted for. :D Just a little over my 6 month mark...and cruising right along. :) Doctor is a bit concerned because Im measuring (tummy wise) small, but the baby seems to be alright.....and that my weight gain is somewhat low. :rolleyes: Otherwise Im good to go. ;)

Bought the crib bedding set last night....SO excited. :)

Whose next? :)

im so excited for you mommies!! i cant even begin to describe what a life changing experience it is. i thank god every day for my little angel.
i do have to say that i truly miss being pregnant.. you may be anxious for it to be over, but once it is you will miss it. :) healthy baby thoughts coming your way!!!

I just had my 12 week mark on Saturday..I go in to the dr. a week from tomorrow...I have been feeling nauseous, but haven't gotten sick...truthfully, I have been feeling pretty gross...hungry but some things just make me sick to even think of them...normal, I guess?:confused:

Me? I guess I am next. I am over 39 weeks and 1 day. Just a few days to go. Feeling REALLY tired and REALLY crabby. My hands are swelling too ( at least there are no "cankles"). And we have not settled on a name. I feel like I am carrying a bowling ball instead of a baby!!

I cant believe you're so close!! Lucky lady!! :)

I just sorta settled into liking being pregnant again, lol. ;) Im sure here in about 7 months Ill be wanting baby outta me, lol.

I remember the swelling hands.....I couldnt wear my wedding rings. :( So far Im ok except for the am times....

My wedding ring was small to start with. I think I am gonna have to have it reset as I already had it resized. I try not to complain too much. But at this point, the wind blowing wrong can **** me off. My two poor kids!! I'm such a mean mama now!

Irritable huh? ;) Im nowhere near your time frame - but can TOTALLY sympathize. ;) With my second I was such a grump my husband told me (and everyone else who would listen :roll2: ) that he was going to move out for the first 3 months of my pregnancy next time. I was totally easy to deal with this time around - but Im betting dollars to doughnuts that Ill be cranky in the end. :floor

You're not a bad mama....you're totally normal. :tup:

Awww, I am so glad everyone is doing well :clap:

update:
I started to spot my first OB appointment thank goodness everything was ok and I was told not to do any crazy stuff for that week. Well I took Monday off *cough* *cough* but it turned out to be a blessing because I started to spot again & it turned out I had a UTI. OB put me on meds right away and now if I can only seem to stay awake with them (one of the many side effects) but its better than the alternative. The OB am now seeing in just incredible...she says ok, lets hear the babies heart beat...she gets so excited. :floor Now if i can only get my fertility doctor to send the paperwork we will be set.


**Sarah a special gift for the family will be delivered to you soon**

Hey ladies I am just at 25 weeks or 25 weeks 2 days depending on who you ask:eek: . I am going tomorrow for another cervix check to make sure I am still closed and no funnelling. This will be my fourth appointment this month (got to love being high risk).

I have been having a lot of back pain-wonderful-I have been having kidney issues. . blah blah blah. And I am measuring 2-3 weeks ahead:eek: I will ask about that on thursday's appontment. Maybe able to get a full u/s:D that would make about my 10th.

I have been the subject to rude comments by strangers
"Oh my god look at that lady she is SO HUGE"
"So you popping that one out soon?" umm no I have three more months left
"What are you going to do when those clothes get to small?"

LOL when I was pregnant with Kristopher people used to say those sorts of things to me. One day when I was in not such a great mood (hips started coming apart) this woman said "oh you must be about 14 months pregnant!" I looked at her and said "What? I'm not pregnant." her face dropped and she walked off. I bet she NEVER said crap like that to another woman.

:floor :floor

THIS is one of those reasons behind why I rarely ask other women how far along they are. Im petrified Ill ask a woman whose NOT PG. :floor

I, too, had that with my 2nd DS.....I ballooned out and FAST with him, I got more comments of "You're having twins right Oh good lord honey - are you overdue?" I heard lots of when was I getting enduced comments too. :roll2: This time around Im measuring little.....my tummy measures 1 - 2 weeks smaller than the baby is. :emb:

OMG people can be so rude!!! I wish it was "ok" to slap stupid people in the face.


Big :hug: to you Kirby'sMom am sure you look beautiful & don't mind what other people say.

I think we should ask Nee this. :brow: Just kidding Nee.....I HAD to say it. :D

I think we should ask Nee this. :brow: Just kidding Nee.....I HAD to say it. :D
Wow. Just..............wow. :floor

I dis that to someone this weekend. A friend of my husbans's who I haven't seen in years was like "Oh when are you due?" I was like " What are you talking about? I'm not pregnant...." You should have seen his face. He was like "Seriously, please tell me you are pregnant, bc I feel like such an A-hole right now." Me: "Yeah, I'm due in 8 days..." I laughed a lot. Fun to mess with people. Now ask me me same thing two months after I deliver and you're getting a right hook....

I guess I'm last to check in! 34 wks 5 days. Nurses got me undressed for my Strep B and the MD was like, why are you undressed? Apparently she didn't want to do it 2 days early, so I'll have that experience next time.

She felt the bottom of my belly and said that she thought I've got a big boy in there. She then did my fundal measurement and said that I'm still measuring further along than my due date (this is the 3rd visit in a row for that).

So, she asked if I was comfortable for my next visit in 2 weeks and I was, she said that at that visit she'll be giving me the form for another sonogram to check him out and see where we "really" are.

So, now I'm nervous, I was thinking he would be late - early April, now I'm scared that he's going to be earlier than my due date. Not that we don't want to see him sooner, but just wasn't planning on early. Even though I did think that I conceived earlier than they said.

OUI! Just need to get through this GIANT project that my customer pushed from 1/29 go live to 2/28 go live to now 3/5 go live.....it's made for SO much more work and stress on top of this news tonight from the MD!!!

Guess I should wait 2 weeks to see what really is going on....

Can't even spend more than 15 minutes sorting through the stuff from my shower without getting overwhelmed. We still have so much more to buy for the little man.....

Sorry I'm so late in checking in, I just got home from work. :) I'm 8 weeks or 8 weeks and 5 days. Every time I go to my doctor, the due date keeps changing. :rolleyes: My next appointment is going to be on Friday and this time we are going to do a ultrasound to see how far along I am. :) As for how I'm doing. I'm doing great, except for the occasional low back pain. Mostly due from me standing for 10 hours at work. :( So far, the past few days haven't been to bad, I've been working in a different area in the pharmacy which allows me to sit down most of the time. :)

I'm also starting to buy little things for the kidney bean. Here's a quilt I bought from ebay. I plan on using it as a floor blanket. :)

http://i16.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/87/00/d005_12.JPG

I'm here, too. I'm 9w2d and still on restricted activity due to a subchorionic hemmorhage. I found the heartbeat w/ my doppler yesterday but today haven't had any luck. I'm cramping a lot this evening, feeling like I could "start" at any moment. So I keep running to the bathroom to 'check'. :rolleyes:

I have never been so exhausted in my whole life as I have been with this pregnancy. While pregnant w/ my son, I still worked, went to school and agility training w/ Olive and I still wasn't as tired as I am this time! I don't have another appointment until March 1st and I'm looking foward to it.

Tomorrow I will be 11 weeks. I have a doctor's appointment on Friday. Since switching my vitamins I have not been as nauseated so that's a good thing. I'm still extremely tired, but hopefully that won't last too much longer. We finally told our families this weekend. They were extremely excited. This will be the first grandchild for my parents.

I know we already had this convo....but I am a little behind the curve...teehee....I just got the crib bedding for the baby and kinda wanted to brag a bit - if ya all dont mind. :)

Kat,I love that!

I'm glad all you :preggers: are doing well (that's a new smilie Woody added).

Of course I am NOT :preggers: but my cousin is with her first. She was 40 weeks as of yesterday (her due date) poor girl said the doc told her he/she isn't coming any time soon. She is still working (guess Monday is her last day). I can't WAIT to find out what she is having (she has no idea) and the name. Her hubby is a basket case and she is like "look, I'm going out and doing stuff instead of sitting at home" she said it is crazy she has energy and he doesn't. She tried for quite some time and had to go through 4 rounds of IUI and finally got :preggers: I'm so happy it finally took.

Wishing you all the best.

Krista is very quickly losing the ability to tie her own shoes. I try not to laugh, but........but......but.....

You wanna see a pregnant woman go from sweet to MEAN? Make fun of her and the belly. :floor Tell me how that conversation goes Ray. :floor

I am at 25 weeks and doing pretty good! I am exhausted by the end of the day though; I have been going to bed around 7:30 lately. Everything is going pretty well other then some back aches. I got really lucky and have so far missed this nasty bug that everyone around me caught and I am so grateful for that. I just wished time moved by faster! I am not a big fan of this pregnant thing :D Just give me the baby!

Big :hug: for you. Have you felt the little one kick yet? I got to feel my SIL belly the other day & felt a little kick and moving lump (assuming she was flipping around cause we were bothering her :floor). That was the neatest thing. I can't wait to feel that.

Hallie, i am so glad everything is ok! UTI's suck!!! You are so sweet to send something to us! We're excited!! :thumb4:

Ill give an update on Elizabeth..
We had her 2 week appointment today and everything went great! She gained 13 oz in a week! :eek: She is up to 8lbs 8 oz and is only gaining more! lol I call her my chubbs!
We had a litle issue with her belly button. I guess it didnt heal all the way so when i changed her this morning it had bled all the way through her onesie. So of course i freaked out and called my mom sobbing! i guess it turns out its pretty normal for it to bleed and the dr carterized it at her appt. I had my appt too and everything looks good with my incision. it still hurts and i still take things slow but i feel more mobile everyday!
I am so glad to here everyone is doing so well and cant wait for all these babies!!!!!!

I got my haircut on Saturday and the stylist was like "Can you lean forwrd so I can blowdry your hair ?" (you know the upside down add volume way) and I was like "Ummmm, I don't see that happening!"

Glad everyone is doing well!!

Kat..I love your bedding!!:) Soooo cute!

I think I am 17 weeks...I guess I'll know when my sig pops up b/c I always forget what week I'm in. :rolleyes: I started a new job almost 2 weeks ago and they still don't know i'm prego and I'm not sure when/how I'll tell them. I can't hide it much longer though b/c I started popping out last week and I guess I just look Fat now...ugh!
Yesterday I had a bad day--tired, feeling fat and uncomfy in my own body, just feeling miserable and wanting to never be prego again. Today is better but I wonder if I'll ever be one of those shiny happy prego people who are just lovin' life??!
My next appt is March 9th and then soon after that I'll have my ultrasound to determine the sex...I'm SO excited about that!!!;););):):):)

Ray-My Dh has to put on my socks every day since I was 21 weeks. . . you got it easy if now she is having trouble tie her shoes. I went to slip ons at 16 weeks. :floor

My appointment for the us went well today. Cervix is holding at 3.7 to 3.5 . I get to talk to the doctor tomorrow regarding everything else. I have 11 days until I am in the third trimester and am counting those days down. I will feel better at 28 weeks (Although I am pretty sure the comments will be worse by then) and 32 weeks and then 34 weeks. I just want to get to 34 weeks so if you have extra thoughts to spare please keep me in them.

Yah, I couldn't get my socks on the other day and DH ran over to assist.....he laughs about my morning visits with the porcelin god instead....
See, I taught Olive how to take my socks off when I was pregnant w/ my son. It was the best 'trick' ever. Now both the dog and my son think it's a fun game to pull off mommy's socks LOL Although I won't be super pregnant until the summer...and at that point I won't even bother with socks...just good ol' flip flops.

DH & I bought tickets to the NHRA drag racing nationals (thank goodness its only a hour away from home) before we got pregs & when the time rolls around I will be 7 months. Hoping with all my might I will be able to handle 4 days in the heat/sun w/several hours of watching racing on a hard metal benches :eek:. It will be funny to see how she/he reacts to the nitro burning cars going down the track..they can get pretty loud :floor

Hello :)

Well, I just had my first ultrasound today and it was so amazing. :) I did find out that I'm 8 weeks and 1 day and my due date is now Oct 4th. I also was able to hear the baby's heart beat, which was a awesome experience. The Ultrasound tech said that the baby's heart beat was strong. I guess that's a good sign, I just want the baby to be healthy. :)

Very cool. Sounds like things are going well. Wait til the 20 U/S. You'll see arms moving and feet kicking....all kinds of cool stuff! Take care.

AH!!! I'm late! lol

update: Everything seems to be going fine, I have another app. the 27th. It's definitely a girl from what we've seen. I'm so happy. We did have a bit of a scare back in january but everythings good now.

Glad everyone is doing well!!

Kat..I love your bedding!!:) Soooo cute!

Awww thanks Allisyn!! :)

Oh my you are brave!!

:floor :floor :floor I love drag racing what can I say???

I am also late to check in. I am now 13 1/2 weeks and not feeling any let up of the vomiting and tiredness, and dizzies. I sure hope it goes away soon. I have my next appt Feb 27th. My back surgery has been rescheduled for March 15th. I am really nervous about it. Thats about all for now.

Im so glad everyone is doing so well! I cant wait to see all these babies!

I hope its ok if we do a check-in..
Elizabeth and i are doing amazing. She is the best baby ever!!! Not Kidding! If she's awake she is either eating or staring at everything, the rest of the time shes sound asleep. Breastfeeding is wonderful, I dont think ive ever done something that felt so fulfilling in my entire life. My "little" girl gained 13 oz in 1 week :eek: !!!!!! I was totally shocked! im loving the time i have with my angel. Enjoy being pregnant, it goes by so fast. I cant imagine not having Elizabeth, but sometimes I miss her in my belly. :) Well I heard a squek, which means I'm being summoned as the milk machine. :rolleyes:

Ok here's my update. Leaving for the hospital at about 4:30am tomorrow. C-section is scheduled for 7:30 am, give or take a few a hours depending on the doctor's patients. If I make it that long....feeling pretty "end of pregnancy" the last few days! Will update you all when I get back.

Oh I didn't know we get to listen everytime now:eek: How exciting!!!! I go back on Wed for my appt and then I can schedule the ultrasound to find out the sex.:whoo: I can't wait for that.



Does anyone feel like they don't eat enough? I'm still just not that hungry but I try to eat good stuff. So far today I've had yogurt, cottage cheese w/strawberries and a cookie. I guess it's time for lunch now but I'm not even hungry so I'll make myself eat something. Am I the only one?!?:confused:

Nope. :) Until I got passed the nauseous stage I ate crackers and small things, lol. And even now at almost 6 1/2 mths along I dont find that Im very hungry....I usually dont even eat anything until after noon or around 1pm. Then Ill eat lunch, be full till dinner, eat some dinner and maybe if Im feeling saucy have a snack after dinner, lol.....however, with my 2nd DS I ate EVERYTHING that wasnt nailed down. :floor

I've found that I'm not really hungry at all during my entire pregnancy. Guess that's what's keeping the weight gain down. When I do eat, it's whatever's paliatable (Sp?) and is in small portions.

Now moreso than any other time, I find that if I eat more than 1/2 a sandwich I'm in a coma (tired, really full feeling).

Anyone else getting really bad hot flashes?

Anyone else getting really bad hot flashes?

Im not....how bad are they for you?

I'm hot all the time - I don't really even wear a jacket most days. I have to leave my fan on at my desk all day.....most times I take my shoes off so my feet cool down and that helps me cool down.

Not so much hot flashes but night sweats. OMG, they're terrible. I've woken up several times recently w/ my night shirt drenched in sweat. :o: I had the same thing happen after I delivered my son. My OB said it was normal and it would go away. And, it did. But I didn't have the night sweats while pregnant with him so this threw me for a loop.

Same here!!!! I get soooo hot at night! I sleep with fans and turn the heat down to around 50 but I still wake up covered in sweat :o:

Trust me, it doesnt change once you've had the baby. I still wake up sweating.

The newest and latest most annoying thing in the world is waking up out of a dead sleep and being so restless you can't get back to sleep. I really hate it and usually take a field trip to the potty (even though I don't have the urge), just because I know I can. This usually happens about 1 hour into my sleep.

I will be sitting at work freezing my tail end off and all of a sudden i will get boiling hot....cheeks are flushed fanning myself & than it will go away. :rolleyes: Gotta love pregnancy :floor

How about spotting? Did you girls have a lot of that??? I started to spot really bad yesterday & I thought for sure I was going to lose the little peanut. TG after relaxing on the couch it stopped. If it starts up again I will def be shooting over to the OB.

I'm always cold....Bring on the hot flashes!!!

I've been getting leg cramps, mainly in my right leg. Was so bad yesterday I put heat on it and elevated it forever. It also falls asleep all the time to pins and needles but it's just that one darn leg.

I need to make a list of things for my Dr appt 2morrow..

I will be sitting at work freezing my tail end off and all of a sudden i will get boiling hot....cheeks are flushed fanning myself & than it will go away. :rolleyes: Gotta love pregnancy :floor

How about spotting? Did you girls have a lot of that??? I started to spot really bad yesterday & I thought for sure I was going to lose the little peanut. TG after relaxing on the couch it stopped. If it starts up again I will def be shooting over to the OB.

I didnt spot at all......you should make sure to relax Hallie!! :)

I have the leg cramping too. I put ice on it last time...which seemed to help a bit.

Thanks Kat. :hug: I have been soooooo stressed out at work its insaine. These people can't seem to get it through their heads that I need to know when they are expecting guests etc. You would think a 40 + year old woman that has worked in many of a company would know that they have to let the front desk know whats going on. :rolleyes:

I have another OB appointment March 9th & I am going to speak to her about the issues am having...the last time I spoke to her about it she suggested antidepressents but she really didn't want to go that route and nor do I. I spoken to my boss & HR and it just goes in one ear and out the other.

Crossing my fingers/toes that I can last another 6 months & we will be able to let me not work for a while.

I am late checking in... I am 31 weeks now... and I am starting to have jitters about the whole idea of the baby "poping out".... I worry that he might come early and I am not yet ready! I don't even have a bassinet or crib... (his room is painted though)... I am also having this indredible mood swings and I get stressed and teary eyed so easily is insane!. I have an appt. today with Ob... I am a little concerned about $ too... seems like all I have in my mind these days is worries! :)

Oh sweetie don't stress, everything will be A OK. Big :hug:s for you!

When we were house hunting about 7 years ago, there was a house with central air (as they all are in Texas) that we looked at. It was August and the master bedroom had a window air conditioner in a window next to the bed. We speculated that maybe there had been something wrong with the AC. Having been there I joked that maybe the lady of the house was PG. Sure enough the next room we went into was a nursery. I though she must have been quite hot to go to that much trouble to stay cool at night. I also felt bad that her husband was transfered after she did the nursery, but before the baby came.

oh don't stress too much! Everything will work out fine in the end.

Just this past weekend we have everything arranged(furniture, nursery,etc.), well cept for Daycare and the Peditrician (I know who I'm using for that though, just need to make 1 phone call).

I looked at all my shower stuff on Saturday and just sat there thinking -where do I put all this stuff and what do I do with it??!

cry if you need to cry, take time out for yourself if you need to and if you feel like being crabby and unreasonable (I do often!), do it - your pregnant and it's a lot of work to be pregnant.....

Anybody else feel like they're on a never-ending, un-yielding rollercoaster ride of emotions. :( I hate feeling this way....today I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat and Im NEVER this way. Im always the strong one people look to for support and strength. Today I could have just as easily stayed in bed with the blankets up to my chin.....sobbing at that. Am I losing my noodle here or what? lol

Try having this when you are stressed at work and your normal - nonpregnant reaction is to cry when you get frustrated....cept now you are pregnant and you can't control it! I've cried 3 times at work so far since I've been pregnant.....

I lashed out at my poor DH for taking a comment his sister made to heart about her questioning what was on my registry.

I also wanted to punch her when she made some comment about how clumsy I was feeding my 7 mth old nephew a bottle, because he heard a noise and swung his head toward it. Yeah, like I'm a pro at feeding a baby (never had one before!).

Just a few examples. :D Normally I wouldn't care....

Glad Im not the only one....although, with my other 2 I wasnt near this emotional, not even close. My first DS I was bitter for the entire 9 months, but controlled. With my 2nd DS I was mean to everyone until about my 4th month. :floor My husband has spent the last 3 years telling people that if we were to have another he would move out for the first trimester of the next baby so he could avoid the "abuse" as he called it. :floor It wasnt like that this time....so far Ive had a good handle on my emotions....but today for some reason its like the rollercoaster rolled into the station and only takes me on the up the WAY down parts of the ride. :roll2: Its a lovely feeling, I wont lie. :rolleyes:

Ok I am checking in late. I will be 21 weeks this thursday. March 5th is when we go to the dr and do the ultra sound. My last one said its a girl but i was only about 16 weeks. So this ultra i will be farther along and it might be easier to tell what the gender is. I am not sleeping very well at night. I have pillows all around me and I can't seem to get comfortable. I am also having lower back pain by the end of the day I am very tired. Glad everyone is checking in!!

I don't feel so bad Kat, am short tempered to begin with & now since getting pregs its that much worse. My sister was very short with everyone with her second. I hope this passes my 4th month like you.

I betcha it does subside for you. ;)

Today isnt nearly the emotional day yesterday was.....I think my case is related to PG hormones (DUH) and some of the other things I currently have on my plate.....each of them alone are likely easily delt with, but together make for an unstoppable combination of emotions.

Hope everyones Wednesday is a good one! :)

Just got back from my Dr appt! Everything was good and I got to hear the little heart beat :) They said it was strong at 150bpm. I'm super excited to report that on March 16th I'll have the ultrasound and hopefully find out the sex....Just can't wait for that:D

How exciting!!!

So....

My DH and I are going to start trying this month. I started my period Wednesday so I counted 14 days and know that I'll be fertile around the 13th-ish.

Any "tips" ;) anyone can give us that worked for y'all? I'm going to the store this weekend to buy an ovulation kit. I don't want to get too crazy or stressed about it but I figured any little bit helps! :rolleyes:

Thanks guys and good luck with all of your little ones! :roll:

Everyones cycle can be different. I would suggest buying the ovulation predictor kits. Also a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a good place to start. There is also a website called fertility friend that you might find useful. Good luck!

Any new updates? Anything fun to report?

I had a MD appointment today - the MD was like why haven't we seen you since 2/20 - I reminded her that we were ok waiting 2 weeks and that this date was the best the front desk could do....she was cool with that.
Had my StrepB test today - that was fun and then I had my first exam of my cervix - that was EVEN more fun! Turns out that I'm all sealed up(no dialation) and firm....looks like this little boy is in it for the long haul! Oh well, I get a 2nd ultrasound on Monday (yipee!) so we see if my date is still standing.

I guess I missed this thread! I'm 15 weeks and 3 days. Physically, I'm feeling great for the most part. Emotionally I am a wreck. I go from being excited to depressed, bawling my eyes out. It's starting to really tick me off! I hate being sad, but lately it seems that I'm sad more than happy. I can't wait to get back to my normal state of mind. If I ever had one...

Good Monday morning preggo ladies. :)

Hows everyone?

Hi Kat--Happy Monday to u too!

Having quite a few issues with meltdowns this weekend. We went to Ikea w/my SIL & BIL and also her mom & dad--they were kind enough to buy the baby furniture for them. SIL dad decided we are going to this Italian resturant down the street--of course DH didn't tell me this :rolleyes:. We sit down and am looking at the menu like BEEP i can't eat a single thing off of her cause everything will just upset my tummy. So I just started :cry2: I don't know if it was because I was tired & hungry or what. But man I just could stop. Yesterday (Sunday) DH was reading a article about how a man restored at Chevelle and how he had ups and downs with the car etc. (which is pretty much what we are going through with our 61 Falcon), and he had a little girl and he told her daddy that she was going to sit in the front now & mommy can't. Here comes the tears again!! Is it ever going to end??? :confused:

**Edit to add: Friday was my 15 week apointment at the OB's. Me thinking ok, I will get right in again like i have in the past didn't take a lunch--its now 3:30 & am starving. The OB was so backed up I didn't see her till 4:30/5:00. My BP was sky high than I had to have 8 viles of blood taken which I now have a lovely bruise from the needle :mad: *sigh* Ok...am done ranting now.

Thats pretty much how my weekend went--how about everyone else??

Awwww you poor thing!! :pat: It does get better...I promise. ;) Tip #1 - Carry those tums with you everywhere, lol! That food thing can be fixed. :) And hormones will slow down soon too....then you wont want to cry at the drop of a hat as often. :)

I have a dr appointment on wednesday. I'll be 16 weeks then, and will get to schedule the u/s appt to find out what I'm having! I can NOT wait!!

:clap: Yay! :clap:

Make sure to ask your US tech to put some pics on a disk for you if they can. :)

I finally went shopping Saturday to buy some clothes. Most of my pants do not fits. So now I have some clothes again to wear to work, that was my biggest concern since I have to wear business dress. I am only 13 weeks, but I feel huge already. This is also the first weekend in about 10 that I have actually felt pretty decent. I did 6 loads of laundry, grocery shopped, went shopping for clothes and curtains for my bedroom. I got a lot done and it felt great. I hope I can keep going like that for a while.

Target has a CUTE selection of pregancy dresses/business casual clothes. Someone also suggested to go to the big girl section-which I have been sneaking a peak in there lately for some cute tops-since my uhhmmms are so large & the bottom half isn't as big. *sigh*.

Not much going on here, just a lot of HEARTBURN..... I've been waking up every night w/this burning feeling(in my throat pervs...);) And it lasts sometimes a few hours.
Fri was up from 2-4:30am
Sun was up from 3:30-4ish am

I can't stand it-it burns and is so uncomfortable and when I burp I feel better for a second and then BAM it's worse, totally forgot to call the Dr today to ask what else I can take to help me. Tums just aren't doing the trick.

HELP!!!

Well, I'm doing GREAT!!! Today I had another appointment with my Dr and I found out I am the same weight as I was the last month. :thumb4: I'm trying not to gain to much. Maybe the baby will utilize my extra weight I don't want. ;) lol j/k My Dr. also used a doppler on me for the first time. My Dr. kept telling me that we probably won't hearing anything, but he was wrong. My little peanut's heart beat was nice and strong. He also told me how lucky I am. He's said I was doing great for being in the first trimester. I told him that I hope the next 2 trimesters goes just as well.. But I have a feeling it probably won't.. lol

Doing the happy dance..... :clap2: :cheer2: :kev: :whoo:

I just made my very first US appointment today. Its going to be Friday April 6 @ 3:30. Hopefully we can see what peanut really is. :baby: :bow: :bow:

If we do find out than we are going to wait till Easter to spill the beans. :clap:

Is it as exciting as they say it is? To finally see the peanut all grown up & not a smudge?

Yes it certainly is. If you're still emotional - bring your tissues. ;) You will need them. :)

OMG Kat, that is wild. I love the little hands & nose. :love: Does the baby move around when they are looking? Should I drink something to make it move so we can see if it has a weiner or not?

a glass of oj and she/he will be rocking and a rolling about 45 minutes before the appointment. That is what I did and they got really good shots of her spine (which I was hoping for)

As for me I have (drum roll please). . . . .another UTI!!!! This makes four!!!!:eek: Just got back from the doctor and this is what they told me. I was like I have to pay 30 bucks for this when I already knew this?? Oh well better safe then sorry I guess.

We were lucky enough to get some video too. :)

Cant wait to see yours!

Monday.....whats new ladies (and Ray :tup:)?

I have another appt Tues. :) Im going to insist on another U/S. :floor And not the one in his office. :D Ill let you know if my pregnancy persuasion works. LOL!

I have had some seriously painful lower back pain on my right side shooting thru my bum into my leg.....Im crossing my fingers it goes away SOON!

Hows everyone else? :)

Hope everyone is feeling good. Lots of cool U/S pics too! Take care everyone!

Feeling tired and icky - I'm going to start working from home on Thursday until this little man is born!

Have my MD appointment on Thursday - we'll see if there is any progress, which really means nothing anyway - until you have signs (like labor!). :D

I'm telling myself everything, just so I don't get too anxious - only 10 days til my due date....

I still need to wash a some outfits and bottles and pack my hospital bag and get some slippers and the Nurse practitioner warned me that the hospital doesn't supply very good feminine products - so I'll have to get me some of them. Plus I have to go purchase my breast pump (keeping that bad boy boxed in case the BF doesn't take).

so much to do and SO little time!! Oh, I guess I should work on my taxes too! ;)

Work isn't helping much working 50-70 hour weeks the past 4-5 weeks! :eek:

So, I'm trying to keep my cool and not stress out, because I don't want little man coming sooner than he should, even though I know he'll be fine if I delivery now.

I hope everyone else is doing good!

The OB scared the daylights outta me by calling my cell phone this afternoon :eek:. Of course I couldn't grab it because I had a visitor at the front desk :rolleyes:. But it was all good news, the blood work for downs & spinabifda (sp?) were good. No positives at all! :clap: Everyone is realved to say the least. :ibow

Friday April 6th is when we find out what we are having (ehhumm girl) . Than its our regular OB appointment Saturday 7th. For Easter Sunday if she is nice & shows herself we will be putting a little card/gift together for my parents & inlaws

Other than that all is good....minus not being able to find anything to wear :rolleyes: to big for my clothes and to small for maturnaty clothes. Any suggestions ladies?? :confused:

Sounds like you have siatica (sp?) If you feel comfortable enough to do this get on all fours, put one leg in the air and back down, repeat this 5 times with each leg. Lay down on your back with a pillow supporting your head. Bend your leg and cross over with your knee bent repeat 5 times and do the other side. This should releave some of the pain.

I am feeling a little tired today.... must have been all the movement over the weekend... HUGE nesting instinct kicked in lately! :). I still have about 6 weeks but I feel like is not plenty of time to have everything ready...

My only update is I am SO tired.

I haven't been sleeping enough b/c I think little Easton is just sucking the life outta me!! I can barely keep my eyes open today at work. Not sure how I'm gonna last the day here......

I've got to go to bed early tonight.

Is he kicking and moving a lot?? How did it feel the first time you "felt" him move??

Oh yeah he's an active baby which is amazing just because he's still so small. It's crazy to think how little he is and how much I feel him:angel:

The first time I think I was 16.5 weeks and I felt him 2 times in a row. It felt like going down a hill really fast when your stomach jumps:eek: :D It was really weird and pretty cool. I didn't feel him for another week or so but the last 2 weeks he's been moving a lot.

DH has felt him move and kick just a few times. Usually when his hand is on my belly lil' Easton decides not to move:p: :rolleyes: HAHA

The ultrasound tech said she felt him moving a lot when she had the thingy(whatever it's called) moving over my stomach:)

Well, I'm doing GREAT!! Sometimes I even forget that I'm pregnant. :confused: I just feel like I'm not having any signs and symptoms.. But I do have one concern.. When I found out I was expecting, I couldn't stop eating. I seemed to be alway hungry. But lately, I have not been that hungry.. I have to force myself to eat.. Is that normal? I'm also not as tired anymore.. :thumb4: Which makes it easier for me when I work the night shifts.. Also, a week ago I had a visit with my doctor and we were able to hear the baby's heart beat by using a Doppler.. My next doctors appointment is April 9th and I can't wait to hear the heart beat again.. :)

I went from morning sickness straight through this entire pregnance - throwing up each morning. It wasn't until the last 3-4 weeks that it's only about 3-4 days. However, since Saturday I've been feeling really nauseous and have had no appetite and I have to force myself to eat. Last night was REALLY bad...thought it was time, but no contractions, thank god! I needed to get some loose ends tied up at work, so luckily he waited!!

Stupid scale at the doctor. :tdown:

I have to have that stupid glucose tolerance test too. :rolleyes: I wonder how I managed to avoid that last PG. :rolleyes: AND they were out of my rhogam shot. :roll2: Today was no fun AT ALL!

Anyways....baby is already head down. :eek: :eek: :eek: Soooo soon!! Im measuring normal, lookin good - gained some weight....:( AND now my doctor is worried Im showing signs of preeclamsia....:Cry: Hes worried about my swelling and sudden nausea......he attributes several of my recent pounds of weight gain to water weight - not good. :tdown: *sigh* I have to go to the lab either today or tomorrow.....need my shot and the tolerance test performed.....ugh Just a not-so-fun appt day at all. :( Hopefully you all have a better checup than me!

AWWWWW Kat, I am so sorry!!!!!! :( I feel your pain about the glucose test and the Rogham shot! I was not happy doing those and the blood work last week!!!! But I will send you a cookie if you are a good patient for your shot :D They though I might be showing signs of preeclampsia as well because of my weight gain and at one point my blood pressure went up (pretty sure it was just the dummies taking it) but there was not protein in my urine or anything so things seem to be ok but I know how you are feeling!!! :( Things are all going to work out for you, I promise :thumb4: Have some cheesecake!!! :D
Are you going to get another ultrasound????

Well, I'm doing GREAT!! Sometimes I even forget that I'm pregnant. :confused: I just feel like I'm not having any signs and symptoms.. But I do have one concern.. When I found out I was expecting, I couldn't stop eating. I seemed to be alway hungry. But lately, I have not been that hungry.. I have to force myself to eat.. Is that normal? I'm also not as tired anymore.. :thumb4: Which makes it easier for me when I work the night shifts.. Also, a week ago I had a visit with my doctor and we were able to hear the baby's heart beat by using a Doppler.. My next doctors appointment is April 9th and I can't wait to hear the heart beat again.. :)


I was the same way all through the first trimester. It wasn't until this week (week 20/21) that I started getting an appetite. And now I want to eat everything all day long:eek: Glad everything is going well for ya!! I love hearing the heartbeat also:thumb4:

AWWWWW Kat, I am so sorry!!!!!! :( I feel your pain about the glucose test and the Rogham shot! I was not happy doing those and the blood work last week!!!! But I will send you a cookie if you are a good patient for your shot :D They though I might be showing signs of preeclampsia as well because of my weight gain and at one point my blood pressure went up (pretty sure it was just the dummies taking it) but there was not protein in my urine or anything so things seem to be ok but I know how you are feeling!!! :( Things are all going to work out for you, I promise :thumb4: Have some cheesecake!!! :D

I think Ill do my glucose test and Rhogam shot tomorrow...he told me if I wanted to be "lazy" and wait till I went to see him 3 weeks from now I can....but I just want it over with, that crappy orange stuff is sitting on the counter....:throwup:

I want a cookie. :) But based on what the stupid scale said today - Ill politely pass. :floor I was NOT happy....water weight or not, that # was NOT fun to look at.....AND he said something to me about it which made me just so happy...NOT!

He wouldnt committ to letting me have another US. :mad: Im not thru with his arse yet. :floor Im going to hound him until he says its ok to have another....maybe if I gripe enough he'll give in. Today he just kept ignoring me (as a joke) and talking to DH. Kinda like the hand in the face thing....:rolleyes: Such a butthead......

What a butthead... Maybe he was talking to Paul to see if he wanted to take you up on your offer of what you would give him for another u/s :brow:
Atleast they were nice and gave you the drink! I had to take it there and then sit at the stupid doctor's office for an hour!!! I was not pleased :mad: Especially because I hadn't eaten in over 12 hours and I was VERY VERY crabby!!!!

This drink y'all are speaking of doesn't sound like something I wanna do!! What is it and when do I have to do it?? Ickkkkkk

It is a VERY VERY sweet juice. It comes in different flavors if that makes it sounds any more pleasant :D Mine was fruit punch! It is almost like drinking syrup. They make you drink it then take a blood sample to make sure you are not getting gestational diabetes. You will probably get it around 28 weeks. It wasn't tooooooooo bad :thumb4: I would have taken another glass of it over the rogham shot any day... I HATE needles! YUCK!

I didnt get to choose a flavor, lmao....so I guess we're even. :floor Im going to drink it (:throwup:) tomorrow morning then head in for the tests an hour later.....and for my bloody lovely shot.....

I didnt play the "DH favors" card yet. :floor :floor I will NOT forget that one tho - especially if it gets me what I want. :floor

I had the lemon-lime drink and it wasn't have bad. I was suprised attacked with it. They told me I would take it at 28 weeks but I took it at 27 weeks. Oh well I didn't want to go back to work anyway

Mine was orange and it was gross. Remember when you go to the MD office MAKE SURE you tell the front desk and if they still haven't called you in 10 minutes before you pass the 1 hour mark, make sure you tell someone again - you DON'T want to have to do it again - like me....

It's especially gross bc it is super sweet (mine was orange--like drinking flat Orange Crush with 5 x the sugar) and you have to drink it on an empty stomach. But it is not that bad.

You guys are really freaking me out with the talk of this horrid drink :floor

It's not really THAT bad, just put it in the freezer for a little bit before drinking it to get it really cold and it'll go down nicely.


Yeah well I wasn't feeling well(MS) the afternoon I went in to do mine and I was concentrating on not throwing up and lost track of time, so they missed my window. I cried at that appointment, BP was up, couldn't settle down - rather bad experience!

So, they had me come in the next morning at 8:30am (more MS) to re-do it.

I just had(have) MS all the time, so drinking that stuff wasn't helping anything for me.....

You guys are really freaking me out with the talk of this horrid drink :floor

Me too.. :eek:

When they hand me that bottle, I'm going to ask what flavors they have.. Hopefully they have one in grape.. :puke:

I went to the doctor yesterday. I will be 15 weeks tomorrow and they said everything looks good so far. I go again in 4 weeks and will hopefully find out the sex. I can't believe that time is almost here. It seems to be going by really fast. I haven't bought anything yet so I will have a lot to do the last half of this pregnancy. I have also been feeling much better and seem to be getting some of my energy back, although this week has been a little rough. I can't get comfortable at night, I just toss and turn.

Glucose test done. :tup:

Shot in the ARM - done. :tup: Thats right Linds...NOOOOOOOOOO bendin over fer me lady. :tup: If I couldnt have my way yesterday at the doctors office I made sure to have my way today. :floor :floor

Well, I am still recovering from back surgery, but it went well and baby came out good, it was even kicking the nurses when they were checking that heart beat afterwards. Unfortunetly, I still am having morning/allday sickness, I am hoping it doesn't last the whole time. I have an OB appt, next week and I should be scheduling our U/S. I can't wait. Think Boy for me please, being we already have four girls.

I was thinking about you last night wondering how things went. Glad things went so well! How bad was your surgery? My dad had pins and rods put in lower half of his spine.

Surgery went longer and was harder than they expected, apparently there was calcification that they had to scrap away. I didn't have to get any pins or rods, they just went in and cut away some of my bone to ease the pressure on my nerve.

Val I will think boy for you (& DH). I hope you are feeling better soon.

I had my OB appt today, baby is doing great. Nice strong heart beat. I am down 3 lbs:confused: . So I have officially gained zero pounds. They also scheduled my ultrasound for 2 weeks from today, i am sooooo excited.

I was in the same boat as you. I didn't start gaining until maybe week 18 or 19 and it came fast. All of a sudden I had an appetite and my stomach just popped out. Hopefully the 2 weeks will come fast for you, the ultrasound is SO amazing:angel:

You're not too far behind us woman! :D

Krista is 33 1/2 weeks. She's holding steady at the 21/22 pound mark and is quite proud of that. The nursery is painted and the furniture has been moved in. We just have to do some decorating which should get finished after the last shower occurs on saturday.

We're almost (gulp) ready.

Someone suggested that I text message a board member when the baby comes so Barb can disclose the winner of the contest LOL

You laugh--but I called Barb from the hospital :D

*sigh* I know.... I just want to feel the little one kick so bad. I get these pain pokes which am not sure is the peanut or not. DH & I are so excited about our first u/s next Friday. :clap:

You should be feeling it anytime. :) I started EARLY with this one around the 16 week mark....maybe earlier. But I also knew what I was waiting to feel...the little flutters....pokes, you may already be feeling the baby! :)

I think I felt something..... :clap: I try to sleep on my sides as suggested by the baby books but I always end up sleeping on my back. Last night I flipped over to the side from my back & little peanut didn't like that one bit and I felt like a flip/butterfly/poking feeling in my stomach. :eek:

Sounds like the baby making you aware its there!! :tup:

How exciting!! Have you felt anything else today?? After my first time it was another full week before I felt anything:confused: BUT now it's constant..he likes kicking me I think:angel:

Is it comfy for you? I have to sleep propped up on 2 pillows. If I sleep on my back it's like someone is knocking the wind out of me and I can't breathe.

You are usually safe to sleep on your side until around the 18th week or something like that, after you are 'sposed to sleep on your side. :)

My little man doesnt like it when I lay on my back - hes all kinds of wiggly. :floor Or if I sit up "straight" on the couch or something, he starts pounding my ribs with his feet, seeing as hes already head down and not liking it I guess. :floor

:eek: I haven't seen the alien yet!! That will be really crazy! He's getting stronger every day though and now you can see my stomach move and jump through my shirt:D

I AM soooooo moody--even the cat made me mad this morning! Getting a lot more of an appetite these days and gaining some lbs...besides that all is well:rolleyes: :p:

Yeah right now it literally looks all kinds of alien-ish....when you get closer to the end and theres less room you can actually see teeny tiny foot or hand move around under your skin. ;) Bizarre, but SO cool. :)

Am going to talk to the OB next Saturday to see what i can do to stop sleeping on my back-or at least stop tossing a turning. She/He doesn't like it when I sleep on my left side I get really sharp pains in my ribs. Can't wait to see this little peanut that keeps poking and not liking sleeping on the side. :floor
