I missed it! What did they look like??
I worked 9-6:15 today. I love my part-time job..

It's one of the lexie barnes bags (http://www.lexiebarnes.com/collection/JNX.htm)
They were selling the utopia and diablo one for $33 each.
This is the second time I saw them sell it so maybe it'll come up again...

Well, vacation is getting imminent. I called today to upgrade to deluxe dining, now just hoping that I can enjoy it. I also called to make a towncar reservation to & from the airport today. It'll be here before I know it. I've still got to get my son to try his shorts on, to see if anything from last summer still fits. If not, I guess we're heading over to Target.

I've come up with a name for my ever burgeoning belly. My exorbitant ginormity. It can even be used kind of like a royal title. I'm not even 14 weeks, I can't imagine how big I'm going to get. It's all sort of new territorry too, since I had my son so early I was only just starting to really look pg when I had him. This looking huge, and so early is just soooooo strange.

Those were very cute.

I don't watch that site, my wallet thinks I should keep not watching that site... I don't know who will win! My wallet or my baby obsession!

Hello Everyone! I just got back from a 4-day girlfriend's weekend. We went to Chicago. In February. Not sure what we were thinking, but we still had a good time. I am so sore today and probably overdid the walking a bit, but all seems to still be well.

I just finished reading the last several pages and feel updated on all that I missed while I was gone. Just didn't want you ladies to think I had bailed on you.

Carry on, and I'll get back to commenting when I can. I wondered about many of you (Staley mostly-I'm so sorry about the canceled induction) while I was gone and am also sending prayers and hugs to those of you who need them.

Skylarr- You have to keep me informed about everything that goes on with yuo. LOL ill be reading waiting on that to happen with me. Have you cranked out any maternity clothes yet? I havent... but I had friends who were wearing some at this point.

No, maternity clothes yet. I have been using a ponytail to fasten the button on my jeans because it does not feel comfy with them buttoned. I need to shop, I keep stealing Robert's t-shirts lol. I am so afraid to see how much I have gained, I haven't been sick at all (just wanting to eat) and last appointment I had already gained about 4 pounds

No babies today. The hospital canceled my induction... They think I should be a week farther along. So my Dr. had me come in, and checked my cervix, I am dilated to 3cm, and she stretched me.. Always fun. She said that when I have a contraction she can feel the baby's head pushing down on my cervix, which is good.. Anyhow.. I go in for more stretching tomorrow. Hopefully the babies will come out before to long. She has me rescheduled for Sunday.

Sorry they cancelled your induction! I was looking forward to seeing your babies...although probably not near as much as you were!

Hang in there!

OK girls... for you all who has your act together (unlike moi) and bought a crib already... , which crib/mattress did you buy and do you like it so far?
I'm leaning towards purchasing IKEA crib but not sure about the mattress.

Need some ideas!

4lbs is normal to gain! Dont feel bad about it at all. My stomach doesnt really look like a pregnancy belly right now, with this extra it makes me look like im carrying an extra couple lbs of fat. I hate it. LOL. Im ready to look pregnant, but not too pregnant (I dont want to loath my body too soon). Im definitely going to have to start doing more workouts on my legs. Im so afraid my thighs and butt will get unbarable. LOL. I love preggo bellies though!!

Well I'm planning on reusing DS's crib & mattress for one. For the second, I've been scanning craigslist & will probably try to pick up cheaply a crib in a similar color (light color wood.) I guess I'll buy a new crib mattress, we have a baby depot near us in Burlingon Coat factory, I don't think the mattress was that expensive.

I got this crib:

(Ordered from Cribs.com, though, not BRU!)

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3161937

I loooove my crib. Though it's not exactly assembled yet. So maybe I'm not too helpful.
I talked to the lady at TRU about the mattress. She said, in her opinion, it was the best she had in terms of everything-- affordibility, strength, quality, softness, etc.

Kiddo hasn't been born yet though so I can't say how much I like/love it with him. Crib has awesome reviews though, and we bought it because it converts and doesn't have a drop-side. I didn't like the idea of a drop-side.

Thanks DannysMom. Do you remember what your original crib was?

Ooohhh... purty... thanks for the links. I like the mattress a lot. I think I'll bookmark it for purchase. Let me know what you think after you put it together...

Has anyone else noticed ever since I dug up Sarah's promise of a belly pic, she's been MIA?

Oh Sarah.. where are you???...

I did notice that too. Very curious

My personal laptop is out of commission currently but as soon as I get it fixed I will post some pictures too. I feel like I am actually starting to look pregnant now and not just fat

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

Ahhhh.... I just got home from a much needed facial. My skin has been all wacky and my husband said why don't you go get a facial. Took me 2 seconds to book the app't. It was wonderful. Thursday I go for my mani/pedi. Can't have ugly feet and hands for Disney. We leave in 2 days

Enough about me, hope everyone is having a great day. Remember, we are 1 day closer to being Mommies.

 

[DannysMom]

Thanks DannysMom. Do you remember what your original crib was?

I really don't remember. Something by Simmons that I picked up at Baby Depot. The dresser had a sticker inside that said Little Folks. I poked around on the web & concluded it must be no longer in production. I did learn/remember that it was called a light maple finish, for when I try to match it.

I just got back from my appointment, I have gained 8 pounds in 13 weeks!!! OMG! I have been so hungry, not sick at all. My doctor wasn't there either because he had to go deliver a baby so I didn't get to ask him if we still have to be on pelvic rest which means 4 more weeks of it at least.

how come you are on pelvic rest?

Ive been eating a lot today. I think my stomach just grew a ton overnight. I go to bend over and my stomach doesnt bend as comfortably as it once did.

I am on pelvic rest because I went to the ER for spotting and when I followed up with my doc he said pelvic rest, no lifting, and no exercise at all. He also said I had a subchronic hematoma or something and it doesn't look like a problem but he wants me to go for an ultra sound at 18 weeks. It sucks because we are still newlyweds

Ha! I only usually post here while I'm at work and I worked til 5 yesterday and had a meeting this afternoon, so I just got here after doing a little work. I have to get DH to load the pic onto the computer.

Speaking of DH he told me to tell you all something, but I can't remember...I'm having a horrible memory day. It was just something silly he said, cuz I'm always telling him that I tell you all the silly stuff he says...darn...I can't remember

& Sarah


If you post, I'll post. I made a chart with all my belly shots from 5-10-17-22-24-25 weeks and the difference is pretty shocking~
