Moms to Be Part 3

[Maggimus]

I'm expecting one of each, with a due date of 9/5 --- but I expect them to arrive well before Sept. Anytime in August would be amazing.....

Oh goodness I am so sorry. I missed the 'and girl!" part on the post. I was just looking for blue screennames!

Hope everyone is doing well... its pretty quiet around here lately!

Hasn't it?! All of the sudden, no one is chatting! I need to pick the new thread updater soon, but none of the newbies are posting enough...post people! post!

Sorry I have not been chatty. I have just been real tired at this point, lurking but not posting much.

Sarah, good luck finding a newbie to be your replacement. Thank you for doing such a good job since Lisa left. I nominate Linzybrooke or Boltfan, both have seemed chatty and interest in this thread since joining.

Hey!

I got my first wave of nausea this weekend and today. I was making tacos for dinner and the smell of the ground beef cooking was so bad I had to leave the room! Last time I was sick from week 6 to 14. All day, every day. Never had an issue with smells though. Ugh, not as easy this time with a six month old to take care of!

Thank You! I'm not quite as speedy as Lisa was at times, but I hold my own!

You poor thing! I totally feel your pain! I guess I was more like your first pregnancy where smells haven't really bothered me, but there were times where things got to me.

Just keep the old wives tale in your head...pukey=healthy

Welcome and Congrats HerdEar!!!

Oh my gosh is it HOT out today!!! I dont think I can make it 19 more days in this heat. It totally wipes me out!

 

[Linzybrooke]

I'm here and chatty! Plus, I'm a school teacher so I am boooooored right now, and its only the first day of summer!

 

[MelessaG]

I'm still here too. I caught some stomach virus and I am absolutely miserable. I'm done with the pukey part, but I am still very feverish, sore, and achy. I worked my last day on Fri., and I should be more chatty once I am feeling better.

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

You're right Sarah, it has been kinda slow around here. I'm sure it'll start picking up soon...lots of summer babies on the way!

I've been feeling super fatigued lately. I honestly have NO energy. And the awful heat here in Texas just makes it that much worse. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel! July 17th is my last day of work...I'm gonna use my two weeks vacation I have available since I really don't know that I'll make it longer than that working. I'll be 38 weeks when I leave so I know I'll be huge and miserable in the heat

Anyway, it's nice to see so many new posters around here! Lots and lots of cute babies are going to be born in the next year

WOW there are currently NO girls due to arrive in September on this thread!

Maybe some of us October people will go a little early. . . who knows (hopefully not too early). . .

The smell of cooking/coked beef has gotten to me this whole pregnancy - just yesterday we ate at my in-laws and she made stakes in the over - I could have puked as soon as we walked into the house. . . I felt sick the rest of the night! So I feel your pain, except you have a little one to care for, so sorry!

My lovely computer hasn't been letting me post well recently, hence my absence. For whatever reason, I can't stay logged in, it's weird. On internet explorer anyway, I'm using google chrome now and there's no problem. Maybe it's a sign I should switch back to my regular screen name. I didn't want my IRL friends to know we were trying/pregnant yet, as we haven't really told people yet, but I'm thinking it's probably safe at this point.

I was the list keeper on this thread when I had my son, so if no one else wants it after Harleyquinn has her baby, I'll take it over. I certainly don't want to hoarde all the fun though, so if there are any other takers, be my guest!

The morning sickness has hit full force now and I am so rethinking my sanity on having a 3rd kid! Whatever I was feeling the past 2 weeks was nothing compared to how I felt yesterday and right now. Ugh, it's gonna be a long summer! My husband was working overnight yesterday so I took my kids to lunch to break up the day, which proved to be a bad idea. We live in DC and they love the metro so we took the metro to California Pizza Kitchen. We're about 1/2 mile walk to the metro and by the time we got there I was already dreading the walk back cause I already felt ill. Then I got a cherry limeade which nearly made me sick on the spot. I ate maybe a slice of pizza and thought I was going to die. Once we left and I was away from all those smells I felt a little better and was okay getting back home, but then I was exhausted.

It really got me worried about our vacation. We're leaving Friday to go to South Carolina and WDW and I am hoping it goes okay, but realistically I don't see that happening. And my BIL and his gf are coming with us part of the trip and we haven't told them about the baby yet so if I'm sick all week they'll probably think it's odd. Of course, I spent 3 weeks with BIL when I was 6 weeks pregnant with my 1st and he didn't notice a thing, so maybe I'll be lucky.

And in case I sound crazy, the only reason we haven't told many people yet (just a couple of close friends and then you ladies here) is that I don't want my kids to know till we're past the danger zone. I've never had a miscarriage, but I know that it's always a possibility. I just don't know how I'd explain to my kids why the baby is gone. My son probably would have no clue what I'm talking about as he's too young, but my daughter has wanted another sibling for over a year and will be so excited the moment she finds out she's getting one so I know she'd be devastated if something happened. I'm planning on telling them after my 1st dr's appt, which is July 6th cause I'll feel better about things at that point since I'll be 9 weeks. My daughter really wants to come to the ultrasounds with me, and I know I will have one at 12 weeks so she'll definitely know before then. We're then visiting my mom at 14 weeks so I'm gonna try to come up with a cute way for my kids to tell her then. She lives in NJ so no fear of my kids blabbing before then since we won't see her and they very rarely talk to her on the phone.

Okay, now that you're probably all wishing I stayed away, I'll stop rambling!

Can't wait to see those shower pictures! Sounds like you got a lot of great stuff!

Oh yeah, regarding the lack of girls, I'm not due in September, but I plan on having a girl. Of course we all know how that goes, but after my son's activity level, I need another girl! I don't have a 'feeling' either way, and didn't with my other 2 either, so I won't even make a prediction and right now, September seems so far away (which is the earliest I can essentially find out as we'll be gone the last 2 weeks of August).

I'm still here too...but I have absolutely NO energy...I am down to the last 25 days to my due date...and taking care of a 16 month old at the same time...so I pretty much have not had much time to post.

I think this one may come early...but that may just be wishful thinking. I cannot wait to have some sort of energy again...this is torture.

Good luck to all the mommies-to-be making it through the hot summer! I will try an pick up the posting, but all I feel like doing is complaining about how miserable I am...lol...so not much uplifting to report.

Ours could be a girl! Then we'd be welcoming Megan...though it could be a boy...

The joys of not finding out!

Wow, I don't think I would be able to wait to find out, lol! I am 27 weeks and the nursery is almost completely done. I am too much of a planner.



Today we met with Landon's pediatrician and asked a ton of questions. She is so nice and said she will come and visit the baby every day in the hospital. I feel like we are making lots of progress these days yet I still feel like there is a ton to do. We still have work to do on the house.

Baby shower invites got sent out today and I am so excited. I don't even care about the gift factor, I just want to celebrate our baby boy!! It makes it more real and seem closer now!!!

Hope everyone is feeling well!

Haven't checked in here in awhile since Ella is 2 months already!!
Just peeked to see who else has had their baby!!

Congrats to the new mommies and those closer to their date!!

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

Good Morning ladies. I actually got a half way good nights sleep last night. I only got up 4 times to pee. AND I was able to fall back asleep. I think Natalie likes to use my bladder as a pillow. I've got my check up today I hope I am making some progress and maybe she will come early. I would love for her to be a week early but if she waits until her due date, I can handle that. I just don't think I could handle her being late.

I'll post when I get back. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good luck today!!!

Your update made me last because I am having exact same issues. That bladder must be one comfy pillow!!! I know I am up at least 4 times a night now. I just chuckle when DH says where are you going...hello, what do you think!!!

I would love a week early too!!! I am 38 weeks today.

 

[harleyquinn]

Well, there's seem to be a lot of exhausted mommies to be around here! Don't feel bad about not posting, we all understand!! (even those of us that don't feel preggers still understand I'm sure! Sorry, I'm so jealous)
I WILL get those pics up!

I've caught the Vera Bradley bug now...I really want to get a bag to match my new diaper bag--and a wallet! lol But after my incredibly expensive last purse purchase (I designed it myself and it ended up being $80!!), DH will kill me if I bring another bag home...speaking of that stupid purse I designed? The main fabric has tons of little pill balls now and it looks kinda dingy...I'm starting to hate it! I love the overall design and it's super functional, but I can't believe how much I spent on the stupid thing.

Anyway...back to babies...Lily's been moving around alien baby style. DH and I spent a bit just watching her move across my belly yesterday.

 

[Piecey]

I miss you guys! It seems so weird to me that I don't fit on this thread anymore... I've been here, with you ladies, for so long!!

DH thinks I have a case of PPD. I think he talked to someone today. He's worried about next week. I'm grateful he took this week, hoping I can pull it together for next week. We'll see.

Sorry to come cry all over your thread... I know I said goodbye but I keep finding myself lurking.

 

[Adi12982]

You don't have to go anywhere piecey! It is good to have a woman who has been through it all on this thread!

In terms of the PPD - have you talked to your dr. about it - do you think you have signs/symptoms?? Wouldn't be the worst idea to see or talk to your dr. and see hat he/she says.

 

[Piecey]

No... I haven't yet because part of me thinks it'll get better.
DH says I'm crying more. haha.

We'll see. I have moments. I think I'm still trying to get over the c-section... that whole experience bothered me way more than I realized until I got home. Probably because in the hospital you just do what they say-- and it was all so weird anyway that it never sunk in how much I hated what happened. Okay. Crying again. Hah. This is crazy. Off to shower, have a great day ladies-- I have both grandma's coming by today...
