New "Mom's to Be" Thread!

[TrueEeyore]

hey i thought you guys might find this funny!


Dear Non-Pregnant Person,

I hope you find these guidelines helpful in your interactions with pregnant women as failing to follow them may result in serious physical harm. ..

If you are thinking, surely she doesn’t mean me- then you should probably read this twice.

There's a couple of people I could really print this out and give it to!

FHS chick, that could have been written by me, 100%!!!!!!!! My MIL could still use lots of the points! Ugh!

Hi guys.. is there room for another member??

Welcome to the fun! What's your due date so I can put you on the list?


Loved the letter. #7 almost made me pee my pants. So very true!

9) If you are asked to help after the birth, this means you should cleanup the house, help with cooking meals, and generally stay out of the way.Holding the baby more than the parents, interfering withbreastfeeding and sleeping schedules and making a woman who is still leaking fluid from multiple locations lift a finger in housework is not helping.

Welcome! #9 is my personal favorite.....

#7--- This is my theory. If you were not there to create the child then you do not need to be there when the child is born. We will call you when everything is done and over. This mainly applies to my mother. we were there for my newphews birth (well not in the room but at the hospital since it was a state away my mom didn't want to miss it) and she drove me crazy and I am sure my dad too---he just knew better not to say anything Since they will be more local for my son's birth I told them I would call them after he is born....my dad thanked me....there is no reason for them to sit there and worry until it is all over with. If they don't know I am having the baby then the better off they are because then she would just drive me crazy and I don't need that when I am trying to have a baby. Its stressful enough. Of course this will only work with the 1st child because with the second child at least one set of grandparents will know I am in labor since someone will have to stay with the 1st child while we go to the hospital.


Funny story about my brother being born. My mom went into labor Thanksgiving morning and she told Dad to call his mom to come over and stay with me. He was like but she's probably getting the turkey and thanksgiving dinner around. My mom was like I really don;t care about thanksgiving dinner right now. Grandma ended up sending grandpa over and when he got there dad and grandpa were talking for some time and mom was like we really need to go!!!! They seemed to forget she was in labor. my great grandma always thought my brothers birthday was every thanksgiving because that was when he was born...but unfortunately thanksgiving is never the same date!

Hey guys! I go to the doctor tomorrow morning and they're supposed to check the baby's gender for me!!! Keep your fingers crossed that they check AND that the baby cooperates!

Woo Hoo!! I forget, are you leaning/suspecting boy or girl?

I also saw your ticker -- 3 days until AKV!! We went to AKV in Sept 2007 and had a safari 1 BR. It was awesome. We only stayed there 2 nights (we had gone to BCV the week earlier but wanted to try AKV out too).

I really it! There are hidden Mickeys all over the room, the bathroom was sooooo big you could dance in it!! The mural (?) in the shower (The Lion King) was awesome.

We're hoping to go to the new Kidini maybe next Oct if all is well with baby.

I am leaning one way....but I haven't told anyone yet, even DH. He thinks we should just announce to the world now that it's ANOTHER boy. Even my mom refers to the baby as "he".

DS#1 is also convinced it's a boy named "Choo-choo", although this week he's been telling me that I'm having a skunk.

DH's family is convinced it's a girl...although they say it's mostly wishful thinking.

DSIL saw me the other day and assured me that I'm carrying this baby much different, so it has to be a girl. I told her that it's too early to "carry" anything but my fat differently!

Hopefully we'll know for sure tomorrow.

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

I am so excited about the AKV's! DS#1 has been obsessed with animals since he was old enough to know what they were. He is going to go crazy over the Savannah view from our room! We only have a studio, but next year, we'll have to start getting 1-br's. I am looking forward to the bathroom!

We'll also be in Kidani next October with some of DH's family!

 

[DVCsince02]

Haven't stayed at AKV yet, but I hear it's awesome. We are trying all the DVC resorts as we can, but it's hard with the 7 month window to get the dates you need sometimes. I can't believe you leave in 3 days! You are going to have a blast. Are you doing a photoshare again? I want a trip report so I can live vicariously though you.

I can't wait for tomorrow for you!!!

 

[NYPDwife]

I just wanted to report that Amanda (PrincessBride010103 ) delivered baby Eric this morning at 11:08am and he is 7 pounds 12 ounces!

I'm sure she would want all of you to know

I know this is kind of late, but I can't find her thread. What happened?

 

[DVCsince02]

It's a few pages back, but apparently she got the boot from the DIS.

She had the baby and all was well.

 

[FHS_chick_2005]

Yes, I'm doing another photopass share! I love doing them...meet so many great people! I wish I wasn't so behind on my packing, but my mind has been stuck on this appt. Hopefully she'll check for me. I'll let you guys know later today!

I think it's a great name! Congratulations. I will change your date on the list later today..I was one day off. My ticker has me one day off.



***Update on the Sunrise Safari. My doc couldn't understand why they put a restriction on the ride to begin with, so I am GOING! Woohoo! ***

***Update on the Sunrise Safari. My doc couldn't understand why they put a restriction on the ride to begin with, so I am GOING! Woohoo! ***

Yeah for you!!! I would just ask that you be placed in a seat near the front of the vehicle.

I know the last 2 times we went on the Kilimanjaro Safari at AK (I know this is different, BUT ... ), we were in the last and then 2nd to last seat and believe me -- we were all kind of hurting afterwards. You get bounced around tremendously in the back. My DD2 was just laughing the whole time --she thought it was great but my parents did not like it. I had enough after 3 minutes or so.

I couldn't imagine doing that while pregnant -- I can't tell you how badly we were banged around -- literallly grasping the seat in front so we didn't bang into each other as badly.

Good luck today Lisa!
