Pregnancy Info HOME

Yes the weeks are flying by!! I can't believe that we are working on our seventh month already!! Getting so excited to meet this little monkey in there!! Only a few more weeks till we hit the Third Tri!! Mommam- glad to hear. You are going to be the very best momma to Mason that he could ever ask for. I have no doubt in my mind. The fact that you are worried and scared is so normal I think. I asked my SIL about her c-section and she said they had a big division thing set up just at her chest, and she couldn't see a thing. She said she was terrified about being awake, but didn't feel a thing and all of a sudden there was her son being pa__sed to her around the tarp thing. She said it wasn't bad at all. Just try and thing of the wonderful outcome that we are going ot get at the end of whatever kind of birth we each have! I would love to have a August mommies get together after the babes are all here!! How fun would that be!! I can't imagine not talking to you guys everyday afterwards!!

I know, I would love to get us and our babies together....That would be so neat meeting you ladies and your babies.... I called and made an appt for my doc tomorrow. I just need to talk to her about the questions I have etc and i am sure that will easy my mind. So i am kinda pumped to go tomorrow...

Morning everyone! How is everyone? I had my anomaly scan yesterday and she is measuring perfect!! Yay! 13 oz. That is a big baby so far for 20 weeks. We are closing in on a name too. Looks like its gonna be Alexis. (but have no idea for a middle name) and it may change again, but I love it.

Well, I dunno about BIG bellied, maybe Getting Bigger Bellied. I still feel pretty small (in the belly, not the booty), but tomorrow is picture day, so ya'll can tell me. Pizza sounds so freakin yummy, but there isn't anywhere really good enough around here to get some from. Cnasmom, my sister used to work L & D and she has reported times where after delivery the doc pilfers through the placenta to find the IUD they put in the mother the previous year. I suppose nothing is fool proof. I would just feel odd having a foreign object up my goods for years at a time. My husband actually has said he would prefer to get snipped, so he can have at it. Is anyone else INSANELY tired?!

Eliz- greta to hear about your scan!! Alexis is adorable!! We haven't even really talked about names for a while, although I knwo hubby has been searching online for ones that he likes! :) Thinks he is so sneeky! Ekay - pizza does sound good, but I am ffeling the begginings of heartburn starting already,,so I think I am going to have to opt for something less heartburnish! I am feeling alright in the mornings and by about 1pm it is like someone pulled my plug and I am am just drained all of a sudden and super tired fo rthe rest of the day. Not sure what that is all about, but I cold sleep the afternoon away easy. If it is past 9:30 when I get to bed, that is late!! Momma- I think that is a great idea to talk to your dr. She will be able to ease your mind I am sure of alot of the fears that you are having right now.

yeah, i am wondering about having something stuck up inside of me, lol. what happens if u have rough s_x or something??? does it hurt or come out?? lol. i havent' heard anything on my sil, i am gonna call in a bit. we're gonna drive up there to see them saturday. can't wait!!! ok, i am def a big belly girl right now, i'd take a pic and put on my myspace but my stupid camera broke!!! and i am too dang poor to buy one til we get our lovely stimulus check!! mommam, you will be a great mommy, worrying is a wonderful sign! shows you care already! this baby is a handful already. she's been kicking all through my cla__ses today, i was trying not to laugh and make noises lol. 25 wks tomorrow!!!!! 2 more weeks for me in the second! woohoo. this is the fastest pregnancy i've ever had. has anyone had a miscarriage and still think about it? cuz i had one over the summer last year at 9.5 wks and i cried the whole time i was supposed to be prego, and then on the due date, and i still think about it. it was awful. i had nightmares the whole time i was prego with that one, where i lost it, i guess my body knew something was wrong, but it still hurts me and its been almost a year now. i wish i would have had them find out the s_x so i could have named it. maybe that would have helped. but i am just glad chloe is safe and snug and almost big enough if i was to go into labor she would probably survive. i saw something on tv the other day a woman had hers at 26 wks and it survived, and it was really small for the age, only 11 inch and 1 lb 3 oz. mine was 13 oz at 19 wks! i bet she is close to 2 lbs now! she must be she is a kicker, lol. well i am writing a book, cuz i am kinda bored right now in between cla__ses.

True that on being the fastest pregnancy. When I want it to go fast, it goes slow and when I want it to slow, it goes at the speed of light. I am so stressed about my husband right now. He called on his lunch break and he asked the guys he works with where they were going for lunch. They just said the place and didn't invite him to go. :-( I know that might sound pansy-ish of him to not come out and say mind if I come, but he is so shy. My motherly instinct wants to go beat those mean boys up and nestle my husband between my bosom. (kidding)

Lol Ekay!! I am sure that right now he would not mind at all if you did that!! :) He will find his niche there with them soon I hope. It always sucks to be the newbie that is for sure. At least he knows if he is feeling left out and c___ppy that you will always be really excited and happy to hear from him and talk to him! Well it turns out I ended up having pizza for lunch even after I said no! We had an inhouse lunch meeting that I forgot about, and it was pizza lunch! It was alright and so far no heartburn!!

You guys have to go check out this site called honey bunches kids dot com - it has adorable stuff on it!!

oops - I mean honey bunch kids dot com

Hello Everyone!! We went today for our 24 week checkup, and she cooperated lovely today!! We got to her see her heart, leg bone (does anyone know why the check the leg bone?), and after about 10 minutes of constant prodding, she gave up and let us see her spine. Her face was so much more filled out today!! We could see her chubby little cheeks and all!! While I was leaving my urine specimen, they told dh that she was weighing in at 1 lb 8 oz. I'm up to a total of 24 pounds gained. I'm not too excited about that, but dang it I have a healthy baby growing to show for it!! Dh also asked them to double check to make sure she hadn't grown a winkie since our last visit. They pointed it out to him and said that there was no way that she was going to change because it was the perfect picture of what a girl was supposed to look like. He wants a girl, but he's still in shock because his family is known for having all boys (mostly). OH!! dh also finally gave in and agreed to let me name her Brynnlee Ann, so she has a name!!

Oh, I have another question. I am really p__sed at my job right now!! I have an easy job, I know this and I can't argue this. BUT, I am now 6 months pregnant, and they have me still working 50+ hours a week. They hired a new guy FOR 1ST SHIFT (who already had 3 ppl versus me alone on nights), and all of 1st shift is barely working their 40 hours (and complaining), and here I am doing absolutely nothing but working and sleeping. My doc said that the baby is healthy and unless I start having complications, I should be fine. I'm still p__sed though!!! Isn't there something that I can do to get the freaking a__ses at work to lighten up? I'm literally to the point that if I didn't need my insurance for the baby, and if I could find someone to hire me at 6 months prego, I would quit. I've been seriously talking to dh about looking for something else after the baby anyway, but he thinks I should try to stick it out here. His best friends wife helped get me on here (but she's one of the 1st shift ppl), and there's a lot of history there that I won't get into, but, let's just say, she introduced us, then married his best friend a week after we married. I get along with her, but I keep her at a distance. I told dh that he needs to realize that I am his wife, and I am supposed to be more important to him than his friends and what they think. He apologized and said that I am, but he knows this is the easiest job I've had, and doesn't want me give it up over petty things that are going to be anywhere I work. So ladies, I need some advice. Could it be that these d__n hormones are making me overly sensitive or do I have a legit reason to be p__sed?

OMG!!! I was laying in bed this morning trying to go back to sleep, and my house started shaking bad!!! i sat up and thought maybe it was a tornado, cuz we have those, then thought, no, its not storming outside, then i thought earthquake!!! but we never have those! but indeed it was an earthquake! my husband was getting ready for work and said what was that?? so I started watching the news and said if it was an earthquake it will def be on here. and sure enough after the commercial they said they felt shaking and stuff and were trying to find out what it was. a freaking earthquake!!! it was in IL and we felt it all the way out here. weird.... but my day started out rocking! lol. Hopeful I would try and talk to someone higher up if you feel comfortable. I had a boss i could pretty much talk to about anything and she would always try and fix it if she could. but if you truly hate your job after the baby comes I would consider finding another one. You need to be happy where you work, i know first hand. I switched jobs one time and made more but i was miserable cuz the people there sucked. i went back to my old job, lol and made less. but i was happier. You should be happy where you work!

I was reading over my last post, and realized that I wasn't clear on everything. The best friend's wife knew my dh 1st, they used to work together. After, dh and I started dating, she started dating his best friend, and blah, blah. She has basically the bosses' pet. I don't care about that, I really don't, what p__ses me off is that we have the same job, yet I can't talk to me BIG boss because he repeats everything said to him back to her. I am very family oriented, and I always have been. Regardless of whether or not I work the weekends, I always make time to go see my parents and usually my inlaws as well. She thinks it's crazy for me to spend time with my family every week. I've only had one weekend off in the past 3 months, with the exceptions of Sundays. Anyway, she was trying to make it where I had to work Sundays, and take a random day off during the week. The bosses said if I agreed to it then ok. Why in the hell would I want to work every freaking weekend?!?! She said that she was trying to make it so I wouldn't run to my parents house every weekend because adults were supposed to spend time at home. WTF?! It's none of her or anyone else's business how I spend my off days. Oh, and when she was pregnant, she went on maternity leave at like 14 weeks. I am a few days pa__sed 24 weeks, and she says I'm trying to milk this pregnancy to extra off time that I don't need yet. Hello!! I'm tired, hormonal. emotional, and God only knows what else!! Sorry for the vent, but this has been bottled up way too long already!!

i would be p__sed!!! last time i got emotional was after i lost the baby and then i lost my papaw a couple weeks later, and i walked out of my job cuz they made me mad. so i don't give good advice in that sense, lol. but i would def be mad too! you have every right to be.

That is really jacked up Hopeful that someone is trying to rearrange your schedule on her opinions. Here's a bit o' advice though- I have been through some very unappealing times at my job (been here almost 7 years). Anything from being basically verbally abused by a coworker (even though I finally abused back), dealing with unfairness because my boss's kids work here and get paid 3 times what I make and one has hired help that my boss pays for, but looking at the big picture, I keep my mouth shut and do my job because the hours are sweet (I work when I can, when I want for the most part) and the pay is d__n good for having 0 college education. I would at least try to hint at the fact that the long hours are taking a toll or depending on your boss, march in there and say I need less hours. Who cares about the friend. She can shove it. Cnas, that is totally weird about a earthquake in IL! Glad it wasn't like a really bad one. Anyways, I put my 24 week pic up on my myspace. I think I am the one getting bigger, not her!
