Figured we needed a new thread since we're already a good ways into the month! How're all you ladies doing?

lol i just realized that we are only two weeks from the end of the month and we are all still posting in the april thread!

Modkitten has been staying on top of these things. We need her back! I hope she and her baby are doing well. Hopefully she will give us an update soon.

I found out yesterday that I am having a boy!!! I think there's something in the water! LOL He is also measuring a week ahead but they are keeping my due date the same for now.

jmb1981, My baby moves a lot, too. He did a couple of flips during his ultrasound. My husbands says it's like the movie Aliens.

:smug: Hope all is well with everyone and their babies :smug:

You know, that babygaga ticker about the "uterus being the size of a grapefruit I'd like to throw at daddy," is really right on the money. I stopped taking my Lexapro when I found out I was pregnant and now I'd love to HURT DADDY. :devil:

Oh she's beautiful!! :hug: Congrats mama!

Phoebe is GORGEOUS!! She does not look like a newborn! Mom looks pretty good in those pictures, too!

Wow Modkitten, she's just beautiful!! So alert and rosy (and you gotta love the full head of hair). You look great, I hope you're doing well. Congratulations, babies are so much fun!

Oh Mod - she is so beautiful! What a perfect, sweet baby. I am so glad that you didn't have to be induced and she got to make an entrance on her own. I hope that she isn't being to hard on mommy and daddy. Congratulations!!

:congrat: Modkitten!

Look at those cheeks . . . and that hair! What a cute baby. Hope you are having a speedy recovery and enjoying your little girl.

SO...I posted a bump pic on my facebook by request. So one of my high school "friends" more like a person I barely knew in HS but anyways...she decided to comment asking how far along I was. When I replied 'going on about 12 weeks' she IM'd me saying how I was so much bigger than her friend who's only 8 weeks pregnant...and still bigger than her friend was in her first pg with twins at 12 weeks too.

I wanted to cry! I feel big as it is, but it didn't really pop looking like a bump until I put a BEband thing on the other day. I do LOVE my best friend htough...she decided to log onto facebook for the first time in months just to yell at the chic!

Good for your best friend. Sounds like the other GIRL is a flat out bee-yotch.

I'm slightly jealous of you gals who show early. With Jake you couldn't even tell I was pregnant 'till I was around 27 weeks. Just remember-----general rule is, the smaller you are, the earlier you show. So, it's a good thing that you're showing sooner than those other two. Plus, who even knows these days if that girl was telling the truth or just trying to psych you out over some high-school wrong she thinks you committed. Bottom line to this babble, don't let her worry you, enjoy your pregnancy and your bump.

P. S. I hate my job.

I tried to get my husband to be a SAHD. He said "thanks, but no thanks." He was raised in a 50's family--man's the breadwinner, mom stays home and cleans and makes cookies and casseroles for dinner every night, vacuums in high heels, etc.

As much as I'd love to stay home with my kids, I'd never turn in to a June Cleaver. It's just not in me.

I had my dating u/s last night and there's just one bean in there :p My midwife said everything looks great and isn't too concerned about the weight loss yet. It was so nice to see that tiny heartbeat!!

MeganBeth--I had my first doctor's visit yesterday. My dr. does an u/s EVERY visit, so I got to see my bean, too! I also only have one--I was secretly hoping for twins, but I already love my little peanut. I'm only 8 weeks, but you could already see the heartbeat.

They calculated my due date 2 days after what I did, but I'm not changing my ticker for them. :)

I love my babies!!

isn't it exciting!! It never feels real until I see the heartbeat. I don't think I get an u/s at every visit though I'm sure if I asked my MW would give me one. Though I know she does them if she can't find the heartbeat with the doppler which they always had a problem doing with ds because of how my uterus is tilted so we'll see.

I changed my ticker to what she had said my due date was all along as opposed to what I thought it should have been (my cycle length fluctuates between 28 and 31 days), but it really wouldn't have mattered much lol

Dropping in... 13 days left till my due date! Any day now!

Modkittn, your daughter is adorable! I'm so excited to greet our baby!

They say the U/S due dates can be off two weeks in either direction, and mine was so close to the date I calculated for myself I don't feel bad about not changing my ticker! :lol:

I'm now getting to enjoy one of the many "perks" of pregnancy----constipation! :p I went through this with Jake, as well. Time to break out the old stool softeners!

Ugh. I don't know if it's because I'm two years older or because I have a 16-month-old toddler, but I am completely fatiqued with this pregnancy. There's nothing I'd love to do more than shut my office door, turn off the light and crash in my floor!

On top of already being tired, DH told me last night that his work is requiring him be there at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. starting Thursday and lasting who-knows-how-long. So now I'm going to have to start getting up before 6 a.m. so I can have my shower out of the way and be "ready to go" when Jake wakes up. One of my small blessings has been being able to sleep an extra hour because Stewart spends that time with Jake in the mornings.

Sigh. Makes me *more* tired just thinking about it.

I've been super tired this time around too. I've got an almost 2.5 year old and I have a feeling that has at least *something* to do with it. Though when I was pg last time I was working in a daycare with a classroom full of 1 year olds :?:

Husband told work he was hired to work 8-5 and he couldn't change because his pregnant wife needs help with the baby. They actually told him OK. Go figure! Works for me, though--I just hope they don't get sick of his diva butt.

Hope everyone is doing OK. I'm still beat.

Hope all is well with the pregnant women and new mothers!!

My DH was admitted to the hospital this morning b/c of chronic staph. They've been giving him progressively stronger antibiotics and finally decided to start him on an I.V. drip. He'll probably be in there for at least 3 days, maybe longer, because he has an active sore on his abdomen that they want to clear up.

Sigh.

What a cutie patootie you have there, Modkitten!! I love the dress, it's adorable. Isn't it just so sad when they outgrow their newborn clothes?

How's your new family doing?

I know what you mean. I count it a good day if I get to shower AND brush my teeth! It's getting easier, though, as he gets older. We're getting into more of a routine and so things get done a lot better than they did his first few months. Hang in there. IMO, it gets easier. :)

Tell me about it! Caleb is almost 7 months old... I can't believe how fast it's gone. He's trying to crawl (currently skooching backwards) and is eating all kinds of different things now. It's just amazing how fast they grow up. Now I understand why people look at their teenagers and say things like "just yesterday he was a sweet sleeping infant." Enjoy it all!

Wait?! Shower...DAILY!? Mines 2.5 and I still don't get to shower daily...man :cool:

Hypothetically speaking, of course...
