So what is with people and rubbing my belly? As if that is okay? I havent had anyone do it until today. So i guess im finally starting to look preggers, but even so... 2 co-workers came up to me said hello and rubbed my belly. These people are my friends, but i feel uncomfortable with people just touching me whenever. I have NEVER had to urge to rub someones pregnant belly. to me, its still as if i was touching on them not pregnant. Is this gonna start being a normal occurance?

Good morning ladies...Or afternoon where you all are :) Haven't been on here in a few days so I thought I'd drop by and say hello. Eliz- actually, from my experience the epidural doesn't hurt bad at all. Well, maybe at least compared to the contractions? I loved the Epidural. I always watched A Baby Story and all the moms who got the epidural on that show were always laughing, joking around with family, and some even totally comfortable while pushing. I was like I Want that!!! SO, I got it...and The only time I felt pain after the epidural was when the contractions got stronger...and I just told them to turn up the dose...Pushing, was a BREEZE. Only 20 min, and all I felt was pressure. Anyway, don't get me wrong, I'm STILL nervous about having to go through child birth again....Anyway, My hubby and I are having the same issue with trying to find things for cheaper. Here in hawaii they charge out the BUTT for EVERYTHING, especially furniture. We were just going to use our daughters crib for the new baby, but it turns into a toddler bed and we didn't want our daughter to feel like she was losing her bed to the new baby...so, we are planning on buying another crib...I think I'm just going to find a nice one off craigs list this time around. It truly is funny, how with my first child EVERYTHING had to be brand new, and now I'm almost like...Got used diapers? I'll take em!! haha. Ok, maybe not that bad...but you get my point. Anyway, hope you ladies have a great day!!

sb- thank you. I try and i am lucky to have Mason... It sure is an eye opener. Another site to check out is craigslist in your area. i sell stuff on there every know and then and have had great luck with it. Maybe you can try that too... OH i may not buy one then. Im not as skinny as u fokes and it takes my doc a lot longer to hear Mason. So i dont want to waste money. I will just wait till i go to the doc. eliz- i hate it too. And when they do it they do it really high up and im thinking are u trying to feel my b___bs???? lol.

Preggo- lol.. that makes the epidural seem so much more appetizing!! MommaM you cold try hers out to see if it works for you. Maybe you will be able to hear Mason fine with it, I just wouldnt want you to freak out if you couldn't hear him. I find sometimes it is hard to hear her if she is moving around alot or in a funny spot. Welcome Cnasmom!! Congrats on your little girl! Gabby - Where are you?? We are missing you. Hope you are feeling ok.

Wow ladies these hormones are seriously kicking my a$$!!!!! I can't seem to stop crying over petty stuff. Things that I haven't thought about in years keep coming to mind, and I tear up. I'm literally driving dh nuts!!! I want him to hold me, then yell at him for touching me too much (within seconds of asking him to hold me). Then, I cry because I feel like I am being a bad wife. I also cry because I am not going to be able to quit my job when the baby comes. My mom stayed at home with us when we were younger, and I always thought that I would be able to do the same for my child, but it simply isn't an option. I don't want someone else to see all my babies first!!! Gosh, I'm tearing up again. Maybe I will be better tomorrow. This is the 2nd day of constantly crying, and at times, I can't stand myself, so I know everyone around me is literally on eggshells. =(

Hey ladies, im back.. well for today anyways, cause its the weekend and Im at work.. im so bad, surfing the net at work, but eh.. who cares? So i got on myspace and saw some new friend requests.. so welcome to my page everyone! ha. I really need to take some belly pics, but ugh, i already had stretch marks from being overweight so i really hate to expose them on the net for ALL to see. Perhaps Ill just take some with a tight shirt or something. I swear some days I just look fat where as other days i look prego. I went to Old Navy the other day and they have some good sales on baby clothes, although its not much of an option. I guess they are getting their new stock in, at least at the store I went to. I really dont want to think about work after the baby. I REALLY want to stay home but I also know thats NOT an option. I can barely afford things now and he's not even here yet. I got a bill from my DR yesterday that "estimates" my total DR visit fees to be $1200 which is 20% of the total estimated fee plus half of my 1000 insurance deductible. Has anyone else got an estimated bill? So i basically have to pay $300 a month for the next four months, which sucks, but I suppose its better than paying it all at once. Well work today sucks, its slow, at least for me, but Ill be here for another 6.5 hours! CRY! So hopefully someone else is online today?
Oh, I looked at the Ellis crib online today and I love it! I think I have seen that one in the store as well. I am so bad, because Ill go to babies r us and do the "scratch test" on all the floor displays. Ill sc___pe my ring on the finish and see if it scratches, and if it does, its out of the rank. Haha! I am so evil, destroying their property. Oh wells. I just dont want to invest in anything that will be ruined, ya know? So I will def have to peep out the Ellis crib and do my trusty test! hahaha! Oh, and thanks for the tips. I am going to go search Ebay and craigslist now! That should take up some of my day! Happy Deal Hunting to all! <3 <3 (hearts)

Slugish Goodmorning to everyone. I have a headache from HELL this morning and it's not getting better. I took some tylenol but it hasn't kicked in yet. EKAY- men suck honey....lol. And kids of the boss are always brats and think just because there Daddy is boss they can do whatever the heck they want. I went and registered this weekend at babies r us and our store in huge. It took like 3 hours and Jeremy was scanning everything. I took somethings off but are list is really long. I hope people don't look at it and think we are greedy. They have a coupon and it's 15% off your purchse. My mil used it to buy Mason's crib but if anyone wants to use it I have the coupon code which works!!!!

Just a quick sidenote so no one gets their feelgoods hurt, it's KitKat and Hopeful that work that c___p hours. Not me! I only work 5 hours a day. I just didn't want to get sympathy when it's due elsewhere. Okay, I confronted my boss's son and I feel a bit better. SB200, I have gas pretty much all the time, not just when I wake. Weird stuff will give it to me, like Doritos. I don't think I've ever had anterior placenta SB. I would imagine that it will probably only affect you early on in the movement phase since eventually you will have elbows and knees sticking out your sides and to be honest with you a lot of the movements I feel from my little one are 'interior' feelings, like she flicking my bladder and stuff. She was so active yesterday, like I was standing up grocery shopping and could totally feel her like crazy. Aaaannnddd of course today, she's as quite as a mouse. Gabby, good to hear from you hon. Do be careful though not to over exert yourself. I'm sure it can be tempting when remodeling a house and such. I am finally getting heartburn over everything. I ate tictacs the other day and got heartburn. Oh yeah, I never saw Shooter Jennings on Friday. :-( Another benefit of hubby's stupidity. I need some retail therapy.

I haven't had it yet too bad with my pregnancy,but I know exactly what you are talking about. It is mor ethan likely your sciatic nerve. Baby is probably resting on it and it does cause paralizing pain. Lots of ice can help relive the swelling in it and help make it not so painful. Another good tip, whenever you do lie down, try to always put a pillow between your legs. It helps to keep your spine straighter and doesn't put so much presure on it. I have ha dchronic problems with it for years now and go to physio on a regular basis for it, btu it hasn't gotten any worse as of yet, but I am waiting fo rit to bear it's ugly head again! Yikes!

i would say the baby is over there, but she is actually almost ALWAYS moving on my right side. my doc recommended a pelvic maternity support belt, but honestly, i can't afford one right now. my left side is the only one that hurts, and it just radiates, oh, its awful, i can't always walk, i look like i broke my leg or something when i get up, i look pretty funny, lol. but it does swell up in the left side, my husband even seen it, so now he believes me when i say i hurt! bout time!!! lolhe used to think i was making it up!

Cnasmom, SB200 is right. That is your sciatic nerve and will probably only worsen as baby Chloe gets bigger. Wow, we have two little Chloes with KitKats. Cute. Anywho, my husband had been pretty good about being attentive and stuff, but all of a sudden he's like off in his own little world. And I hate it because he blames every emotion I have on being pregnant. Nice try.
