Happy Leprechaun Day Ladies! Another Monday to survive, but I have my dr's appt. today. I'm going to be in soo much trouble - my feet & ankles were majorly swelled this weekend. The left foot was alot worse than the right foot - I gotta start drinking more water. I just get really busy during the day and forget to keep drinking but I have to start doing better - if not I'll end up on bedrest or the hospital :( Anyway, I hope everyone had a good weekend. Stef - can't wait to see the pics of baby's furniture! Kolleen - don't feel bad - I too haven't done much of anything. I don't even have a crib yet, but I do have the comforter set. It will all come together in time :0)

Okay now I'm sitting here bawling, I just read shopping's thread and I was speechless. We all have so much to feel blessed about. To have a healthy baby is a miracle in itself. Stef - I was crying the other nite and felt really depressed about nothing that even mattered. It was like a phase I had to go thru, just cry, get it out and then get back to normal life. I did feel better afterwards but d__n I'll be glad when these hormones leave me alone!!! LOL.

hey ladies sry i didnt update friday nor this weekend about my dr appointment well i was irrritated i had to met with a different doctor (i didnt care about that.) i gained 6.5 lbs putting me up to 19lbs ive gained. and the doctor was like u need to slow down on eating because youve gained almost 20 lbs im like so. shes thats the max weight to gain i said really can u explain the 55 i gained with my daughter then? and shes like um. um. oh yah you did huh. im like yep and shes like oh sry. im like first of all the first f-cking remark i get from u is that i need to stop eating okay b*tch so ive im hungry i cant eat; bull c___p this time ive been eating healthy and thats why ive gained. but im worried; i always seem to gain now & not later. weird i know but thats me. lol so im not worried it p__sed me off. in the next 2 weekends we are ordering the crib(it should take 2 weeks to get here; so that puts us right before baby shower; yah!!!) im so excited. so im 6 months now ladies; i love it= ] not much longer till strads in my arms im so excited.

Happy St. Pats day girls! Too bad it's Monday...ugh. Heather, good luck on your appt. today and make sure to tell your doc about your swelling. They'll check your blood pressure, but that could be a sign of high bp so rule that out (NONE of us need to be getting preeclampsia! I'm so scared of that). My appt. isn't until Wednesday and it feels like ages since I've been. I've been really kind of stressed out for a couple of weeks now (low grade kind of stress) and I figured it would be gone now but it's not. It just seems that everything annoys me, etc. and I just want to not feel this way. I've got my acupuncture appt. this morning so that should help some :) Be back later...

Happy St Patricks Day all. Question... Does anybody else have times were your b___bs throb???? not bad but bugs??? its doing it to me today and comes and goes but bugs

Top O' the mornin to you la__ses! LOL sorry I am a teensy weensy irish so I couldn't resist. Well yes it was a real shock and bummer about Kimberly AKA Shoppingfortwo.....count your blessings ladies - we are all pretty healthy and so are our little ones! If you haven't yet sent her your thoughts and prayers please do so she could really use it!!!! STEF - I love love love your crib and changing table....So darling - I wanted white until I saw yours now I am not sure - but we'll see what's available at the garage sales! Kendra - just ignore those dumb a__s doctors....they think they are trying to help you.....just shake it off it's not worth it.....you make me laugh when you post you are just so funny - hey I went to spencers but they didn't have my size in any of the t-shirts I was so bummed so I might look online they only had skinny broad sizes LOL Has anyone heard from Amy? I tried emailing her at home and nothing - I hope all is well with her - I am getting nervous....I don't like when one of you disappears without any explanation..LOL I think we are all in the hormonal stage right now and everyone else will just have to deal with it! Almost time for a new thread. More later ladies! and Hillary - I have been free of b___b pain since about 16 weeks - but sometimes my nipples get really sore.

Tina - you crack me up- skinny broad sizes??!!! You would think they would make them in mostly bigger sizes because DUH- pregnant women are the only ones buying 'em. lol. I went & looked at them too but didn't get any of them - yet. Kendra - girl f*** some of those doctors. They always act like every woman is the same and we all are going to gain weight differently. I don't see the sense in them harping on weight when you can clearly see that you're not anywhere near fat - you're freakin pregnant. You know what is best for your own body and that's all that matters. I'm glad to hear everything else & baby are doing well.:0) Stef - I think it's totally normal to feel a lil' stressed right now. You are a worrier anyway, then add all the things that are about to happen and it's hard not to get overwhelmed a little bit. Just try not to stress yourself out too much, and cherish this time before the madness really starts! LOL. All will be fine hunni :0)

Thanks girls for bringing me back down to earth today. I had a good relaxing acup. appt. but I started crying at the beginning when she asked how things were going. I'm like, WTF is wrong with me??? ha ha...oh, I didn't get to go check out the shirts at spencer's yet as the mall here is always a mad house and I really hate going there. I have a gift card from Sear's to use though and don't normally shop there but thought I could get a maternity shirt or something so then I'll already be at the mall. BOOB PAIN, um I do still get this and it's usually something that happens in spurts and they are sharp tingly pains that shoot in my b___bs. Nothing like the soreness that I had in the first trimester though. Mine are definitley bigger, but I still don't know if it is just because of weight gain or what. KENDRA, yeah don't worry what the doc says. I'm scared to find out how much I've gained!!!! We dont keep a scale here so I have no idea, but at my 20weeks appt. I'd gained 10lbs and I guarantee I've gained at least another 10 already. I went shopping yesterday to find a lightweight jacket b/c I have no idea what happened to all of mine (all i have left are lots of heavy coats) so I got the cutest denim one that is long and then I saw some camoflage shorts and really wanted some for just knocking around when it gets warmer. I was at a vintage store so of course they weren't maternity but were too cute so I tried them on because they looked big enough and they fit below my belly. If I get tons bigger they probably won't fit. But, long story short, I didn't even look at the size tag because they were the only ones of their kind. At checkout I looked and they were 13/14!!! I was like WTF? I wore a 4 or 6 pre pregnancy, LOL! I love it though and don't really care....it was just odd to see that since buying maternity clothes they are all in S, M, L (which is comforting b/c you don't have to deal with d__n numbered sizes)....ok, am I a rambling today or what? off to eat, lol.....

p.s. I forgot to mention that the baby was all over th eplace today while I was "relaxing" at my appointment. I thought she was going to bust out of my belly. I then proceeded to get 3 BH contractions in like 30 minutes! I've never had that many happen in such a short time so it freaked me out. She calmed down after that and then I haven't gotten any more. weird.

lol stef yah um i feel that. i wore 5 & 7s which are 4 & 6s now im wearing LARGES. i hate buying larger shirts. SEE im not a short person anymore; since i have stretch marks on my a__s & right below;( from kelsey.) & shorts here are so very very short no joke. so i buy capris those are my thing i swear (ijust bought a new pair i got mediums tho; cuz ill wear them below the belly =] so i still am small; or at least i let myself believe that. tomorrows photo day for me. thanks ladies about the doctors i know it just irritated me like shut up i think i know whats right for me. right?

STEF - yes I for one take comfort in being an XL instead of a 16 or 18 - not sure why numbers are so d__n intimidating but I feel ya.....I have been experiencing more BH with this baby than my last 2. HEATHER - well you most of you on here are skinny broads - LOL or at least you were before you got pregnant..lol - lay off the ketchup swelled up girl! seriously - if you don't watch it you will be sorry - pre-eclampsia is no joke - I started getting it my last week or 2 and that's one reason I was induced right at my due date. - As for food I have 2 Jack in the Box tacos and french toast sticks for breakfast and a lot of candy - I am a mess today sheesh....and very much looking forward to lunch I think I am making up for last week when my appet_te faded cuz of my dad. ok ladies later....

Well ladies - I'm off to the doc. I know how you guys feel about sizes - Why do numbers mean so much anyway? - but of course they do. :( I keep telling myself it only lasts for a short while and that's how I get thru it. Talk to you guys tomorrow

Good afternoon everyone. well ihave a pretty eventful day yeaterday. after reading shoppings story and with me being sick, im on vicodin, i stared to get scared. i have not felt much movemnet so i went in to get check. the b/h contractions were what was scaring me the most. so i got there and lylee is totally great. she is moving alot more then i feel. but now my dr is upset because i didnt call him or o to the hospital that he is at. i didnt know to.... i have an appt on friday so i guess ill just explain it to him. its not like he would have called me back had i called him. so i guess we will see. but im totally reliveved that everything is ok. im not allowed to read things on the internet anymore. my family has banned me. lol. gotta love them.

kolleen, don't feel bad, my family has banned me from the internet too, but I "sneak" all the time and then feel worse for doing so, LOL! I'm off to take a nap quick if I can as I feel like c___p today I will post more to everyone later as my head is about to fall on my desk...

I didnt' even know I could go to L&D whenever I wanted. My dr. never told me that so I didn't konw it was an option....thankfully I haven't been that freaked out by anything yet (and I sure hope I don't either!!!) but I did get scared about baby's movement for a bit Saturday. I think i heard somewhere though that we aren't supposed to even monitor movement for consistenecy until 28+ weeks, right? Just want to be sure...

STEF - that is my doctor's procedure if I call his office after hours the recording says for any emergencies if you are over 20 weeks go to L&D or else go to emergency. so check with your doctor next time you are in there and see their normal procedure then once they say that - do it even if it's going to emergency - we don't monitor til about 28 weeks - dude I can't believe we are getting to close to the third tri I am getting nervous cuz pennies have been tight and I need to get my crib and stuff but whatever - God will provide I have my co-sleeper bed I can use for a few months so I am not worried. All will be well......
