cnasmom - April 2

my baby is still heads up, so she kicks really low all the time! she kicked me in the bladder like 3 times yesterday during my anatomy cla__s, i thought i was gonna pee on myself! it was funny tho, cuz it feels like she is kicking out of me. but i know what you mean about her kicking low, every once in a while, she will punch up high but its usually low kicks.

guys, I'm upset. I guess it's been slowly happening but last night I noticed it's bad now! my lower legs/ankles/feet are so f-ing swollen! I have no visible ankle bones right now! has this happened to anyone else? I cried all throughout american idol b/c that's when I noticed how bad it has gotten. mike felt bad for me but was laughing about how much I was over-reacting. mostly, I'm upset b/c I have like over 100 pairs of shoes (I'm a shoe lover) and I'm so worried that my feet are not going to be a size 8 anymore and all my shoes won't fit! ekay, since you're the veteran, did your feet grow and then not shrink back????!!!!! oh, and thanks for asking about my back. it's actually been fine lately. It only acts up when I do a lot of walking or standing so I guess I'm lucky.

Gabby- That really sucks about your shoes. Thank good ness for flip flops. That is what you will catch me in all summer long. But i would think your feet will shrink but Im not a vet at this either. I don't really feel too many jabs. i feel alot of rolls from Mason. But then again I guess since i feel them so much I kinda block it out so i can keep doing my work.... But jeremy has still yet to feel him and I still havent seen my belly move yet.

Morning lambs!!! Gabby, it is common for women's feet to grow-and stay grown. Another common occurance is changes in eyesight. Be careful about the swelling though as it seems kinda early for it. Have you had your bloodpressure checked recently? Drink lots and lots of water and whenever possible keep your legs and feet elevated. Normally further along in the pregnancy when there is significant swelling they worry about edema and preeclampsia and stuff of that nature so just keep an eye on it. Mommam, I don't know about you but I will be in flipflops all summer too. Summer is KILLER here in Texas, Elizhope knows what I am talking about. On top of heat, there is usually 100% humidity, so it's like a d__n sauna. I had such a bad night last night (prepare yourself for a mini-pity-party). I raked and baggedthe billions of leaves that were in my front yard, which is very tiresome while pregnant because the whore-a__s realtor is coming today to list the house and take pics, I narrowly escaped a serious E.R. visit when my neighbors daughter opened a truck tailgate centimeters from both of my daughter's heads (it still makes me sick to think of how bad that could have been), I was nauseaus until about midnight and then sick until about 1:00am and I had to hold my own hair back because my husband was working in the next town and stayed out at our friends house. I am so very tired. Hopeful, I feel my little one down low too, but mostly when I am sitting it's down low. She was head down at the last u/s, even though she could have changed positions by now. When I am lying down, she kicks all over, but I wouldn't worry about it. Sb200, will you fly down here and use your navigational boogers for good deals for me? I am just hoping to have a dang nursery to even put the baby in before she's born, much less concerned about what to put in it.

Congrats Mommam!

 

mommaminchey - April 2

EKAY you poor thing. You need a break girl. I am lucky. I have Jeremy and my 17 yr old brother to do all the outside work plus my mom loves to garden and low gra__s. So thankfully this year I will be sitting pool side at our house most of the time. About 6-7 yrs ago my parents put in a pool and its huge with a pool house etc... So i will take up refuge there. And thanks ekay. I am so glad to be full time and making my money again... Oh how i love money...lol. I just am glad i can go ahead and buy somethings now.

 

ekay03 - April 2

Mommam, I hear ya on the poolside thing. My parents put a pool in last summer and even though its a 10-15 minute drive to their house, I have a feeling I will be over there frequently, just floating in their pool like a whale. You're lucky to have one right outside your backdoor. I'm glad you're working as much as you want to again. But, c'mon, you can't say it wasn't nice working only 3 days a week! ;-)

 

cnasmom - April 2

Hi girls, Ughhhh, I didn't sleep last night, i can't ever sleep, it sucks. my husband is still being a jerk, and i have this huge anatomy test tomorrow. Mommam, i wish i could find a job, no one wants to hire a pregnant girl. which sucks. i want to work weekends, while i am in school. I am trying to look into this sohojobs.org thing where you can work at home, but not sure about it. i am just sitting here being all depressed and crying, i hate this.

 

mommaminchey - April 2

Oh it defintely was nice but I am the bread winner in our house so it kinda hurt my ego to be working so little. I have always worked and made great money( i am in sales management) and it just sucked. I love having extra money to do what I needed to do. But I was sleeping in way late and not getting sh*t done....lol

Mommaminchey-congrats on the new job hours! I bet it makes everything so much better!! Ekay-wow, yard work in this heat preggers...i wouldnt be able to do it. you need a break. sitting by a pool with a cold (non-alc) beverage with a fabulous magazine!

 

mommaminchey - April 2

eliz- thank you... and yes ekay does need a break. Well i have another ultrasound tuesday and i cant wait! OH and 1 ?. When do we change to 3rd tri?

 

cnasmom - April 2

I think its around 28 weeks when you hit 3rd tri. so we don't have much longer!!

 

ekay03 - April 2

Alright ya'll, keep your fingers crossed....my parents have finally put an offer in on a four bedroom house and the seller's accepted it! So now I just have to stress over them getting financing and acutally closing. Maybe I will have a nursery to decorate (I hope, I hope, I hope!) Do ya'll have any idea how hard it is for me to relax? Break is not a word that is even in my vocabulary! The only time I stop doing anything (cleaning, working, moving my body) is at about 8:45 at night. It makes me anxious when my husband tells me to sit down. I'll sit on the couch for about 2 minutes and then slowly creep off to do laundry or clean a litterbox or something.

 

mommaminchey - April 2

Ekay_ i hope everything goes well for you guys... A new house and a new start can be exciting!. I have heard though that pregnant women shouldn't clean litter boxes. Idk why. Just something in cat urine or poop that can hurt you. You may want to look into it... Of course idk if your hubby would be willing to change it. Thank goodness for my mom. Otherwise our cats would have to stay outside....
