Well....baby is moving more and more everyday ladies. I love watching my baby move my belly all around. I could watch it all day hehe. My mom loves it too ( she might be more excited than me haha) How is everyone else? 25 weeks in two day :)

Hey Ladies, Sorry I've been MIA again. Iv'e been trying to get some data entry done at work for a large order that came in. plus.. my computer has broken a few times making everything slower :( today DH is picking me up late so I have extra time to post. I've been concerned that my boss wasn't really taking seriously that I would eventually need to leave to have a baby but finally (!) they have been advertising to replace me and discussing possible hires etc. That's really good.. I was worried cus if something were to happen and I had to go on bed rest or something then right now, they'd have noone there to take over. I've been feeling good this week, the last few nights sleeping a bit better, although i'm still uncomfy a lot. I've noticed too that having an empty bed, like when DH leaves for work (he often starts very early at 4:30 am ) I sleep better and have more positions that work. I feel really bad to mention this to him though cus he likes to snuggle at night.. I do to.. or I would.. but I'm SO uncomfortable sometimes! I had a really bad weekend over valentines, we went to see a movie on the friday, but caught the late showing.. so I went to bed super late NOT good, and didn't sleep well, woke up with a very sore lower back and was so worried, until it went away later in the morning. but I've been better with my back pain since i stopped propping my head up so high with pillows. I had been doing that for heartburn(Yuck!) and to breathe better but it hurt my back so I lowered my head, and that has really helped. I only use one pillow now. and prop up my belly and legs with my body pillow. Ack I just went to the washroom twice in like 20 mins and now feel like it again! I've been trying to be good with my fluid intake but it's so annoying when I just feel like a sieve! But I shouldn't complain so much, it's not all bad. I'm really looking forward to my new baby and also to being at home and off work! I went wedding dress shopping with my SIL and all my other sisters-in-law and MIL and stuff, and my baby niece and nephew were both there so I got to play with them and cuddle them while we waited for angie to change, I love it.. although I'm glad they start small and light cus both those babies (7 mo. and 9 mo) are HEAVY! I like to feel little one move SO much too, and watch my belly shape shift and bounce around, lol. I think it was RC who said your dh hasn't felt babe move yet? my husband has, but most other people haven't cus I guess our little one isn't a performer. Babe moves ALL the time, yet whenever someone wants to feel.. baby jsut lies still till they leave lol. I feel movement all over my belly now at the same time, I can tell how much bigger the babe is. he likes to sit on the right side of my tummy, and often there will be a harder bulge on that side from head.. b___t? dunno. that can hurt though, if baby pushes out too much and is like under my ribs so I can't bend over and have this hard thing stuck in my tummy, I have to ma__sage the spot till the baby moves back inside. I even can feel the individual limbs and stuff too. so neat. so yah, everything is moving along well, aches and pains but I think wer'e doing good, I'll know more at my next appointment, still 2 weeks away. I'll be 26 weeks in 2 days!!!! YAY I was so excited for my 24 weeks cus it's like 'viability'.. until I found out that baby's chances of living are anywhere from 20-70% so still not great. But after that everyday it goes up 35 till 26 weeks you're at 80-90% chances. Not that I intend to deliver early but.. it's comforting to me. then only like a week or two and i'll be in 3rd tri! wow, feels like it's going to so fast! Talk to you later ladies, I'll go look at those blogs and myspaces, so neat!

im 23 weeks now..when do we go to 3rd tri? guess im too excited :p jordan is too cold we had snow the first day we arrived...to be honest im so bored n wanna go home..im used to going out everyday n here we're always at home with my inlaws n im so homesick right now. as for baby, im also feeling him move all the time n whenever someone wants to feel my tummy move, he just stops! so like overtaken's baby :) thats it 4 me..nothing really new. take care

Where is everyone? Its been a few days! Hope everyone is well.

i have a dr appointment on the 4th i hope they schedule the big u/s

Hey girls, I usually get an email when someone poists on the thread but havent been getting any?? So I decided to get on here anyways cuz I thought maybe I hadn't been getting them for some reason. Only to find out that part 2 was here! haha So I guess 26 or 27wks is the beginning of the 3rd tri eh? I've still got a couple weeks to go. I'm 24 wks today. Things are still the same for me pg wise. Dh STILL hasn't really felt baby move! Its like his hands are made of stone or something! It kind of annoys me thatbaby will be moving and he can't feel it. I had a nice compliment the other day. A customer came into work and I was helping her and she said that I looked like I was carrying really well and that I looked like I was all baby. That's nice to hear cuz we usually think we look like complete tubbo's. But then yesterday at church a lady asked me how much farther I had to go and I said just over 3 mos and she said, wow you're pretty big! So I guess you get it from both sides. I tried not to care what she said. I guess you can all make your own minds up if you want to go to my blog at rickchemiller.blogspot. c o m I put up a post of my tummy a few days ago. I also put up a post called Fries n'Gravy b/c its my new favorite thing to eat! I looked up online to get a pic but couldn't find one I liked with just the fries n gravy but loads of Poutine fries. I had heard a while back that poutine is a canadian thing so did a bit of research on that only to find out that it is true! They originated in Quebec and have made their way across parts of the world in popularity. Although I've never had the traditional poutine with just gravy and cheese curds I've had variations and yes, they are yummo! Lucy you should try fries n gravy. OMGosh I swear you'll be in love! Sleeping wise I haven't been sleeping very well at all lately. Its not for a lack of comfort though. I just have this insomnia that's so annoying! One morning I woke at 3 and couldn't ever get back to sleep. The next time was 4. Same thing. It's getting really old. Lucy when do you come back from Jordan? I can't believe it snows there. I just looked at its location on my trusty globe and its not that much further north than Dubai which is like a sauna correct? Well, since you're used to the sauna you'd probably think 20 degrees was cold eh! hahaha Better run chicks. I have my 24wk appt today. Will let you know how those bloods turned out from a week ago. I did call for the results but the midwife didn't know how to read them and so I never got an answer.

rc, although gravy used to make me sick in my first few months..im gonna try them now!! sound yummy hehe i know its close to dubai!!! its only 1 C tonight n we had snow in the morning but it didnt last for long on the ground cz it rained after that. 20 degrees is winter for me lol.. mom tells me its 40 degrees in dubai now n i cant imagine the difference in the climate.. i feel i will break when i go back to dubai lol. we're going back on the 14th..we still have 2 more weeks to go.. btw its only 3 1/2 hrs from dubai to amman by plane if u want to know more about it :) let us know how ur appt went and ur blood test results. i hope everything went well n baby n the mommy r doing great :) u have such a nice family n u do look nice too :) i had a quick look at ur blog last night.. gtg now bye bye

lol i had to go my daughter was in the middle of a fight with her twin cousins who r 6 days younger than her.. they took her rain boots n she went crazy n dh was shouting at my poor dd while she's the innocent one so i had to do something. dh is ALWAYS playing games with his brothers.. either play station or laptop.. im going crazy..he doesnt have time for me or dd!! he doesnt even see his 2 sisters n mother!! im stuck at home 24 hrs while he goes out with his 2 brothers n friends to play games n cards n thats it.. im so thankful he's on a training course from 4-8 everyday cz he's useless in here lol :p i become so p__sed off sometimes cz we dont get to even talk together.. today it wasnt raining so we went for some shopping.. cant resist lol.. i got black boots for myself so i felt good at the end of the day :p pg wise its the same for me too as rc said.. nothing new.. my SIL got the chance to feel the baby move n she was so excited :) dh hasnt felt him move yet cz he didnt even try to!!! strange dh when he's here..totally different person in dubai, cant wait to be back!! dh's uncle 2 days ago told me that i was glowing n looked nice.. i was so happy maybe cz as rc said, any compiment would sound amazing now that we're pregnant.. ppl say i dont look so big n think that my tummy is smaller than how far i am along.. with dd i was small too.. oops gtg bye bye

Hey I found you ladies I too was looking for an email post update. Well I made 26 wks Thursday and so this Thursday I'll be 27 weeks 3rd trimester woooohoooo. I wanna ask you guys what should we name the first thread on the 3rd tri board? Does anyone else have myspace. Lildevilgirl it seems like we have been waiting forever to see what your having, are you still going to find out. Baby is moving like crazy and my heart burn is getting worse. But since this will be the last time I ever get pregnant I'm trying to enjoy it. My DH is getting a V on Friday. And I'm suppose to get my Tubes tied after birth but I'm really worried about side effects so I just might back out especially since my DH is getting fixed LOL . Well I'm glad I found you all, and lets come up with a name we all will like for the 3rd tri board. Ttfn

LOL sadie I just peek on the 3rd tri board and see you already got us started so nevermind and thanks for warming the board up for us guess I'll go back and forward till we all get there.

Well I was gonna say to call the new thread "Hot June Mama's" But oh well. Everything went well at the docs. Found out that the t_tre (amt of anti-d) actually went down?? So that's good. Have blood tests and appts every two weeks probably from here on out tho. Also another scan at 28wks. I was thinking how this is my fave stage of pg. Far enough along to not feel sick. Far enough to look pg and not just fat. Not far enough along to feel too uncomfortable yet. I'm really enjoying this. Except today I've felt really tired and c___p all day and having lower pubic region pains. I just need to lay down and chill for the rest of the day. Unfortunately dinner is calling and so that's not possible yet. Cheers girls :)

korey how does it feel when u know its ur last? im not sure if i want more babies or not, too early to decide hehe.. i only have a dd and this will be our second.. dh and i always wanted 3 kids but im not sure if i can stand being sick for 4 months again and all this vomitting and stuff.. i guess only time will tell :) good luck to ur dh!! yeah i've seen sadie's 3rd tri thread hehe.. i still have some time so i'll be here for a while with all the others until we all leave to the 3rd tri board :D cant wait!! 2 or 3 more weeks n we go. rc, glad ur blood results came back very good.. thats awsome news.. i go for a detailed u/s on the 17th..after i get back home. after that i will go for a 4d u/s :D i was planning to have it in amman but no one is allowed to go in but my husband! i had all my family go in with me last time so i will have it done again at the same center, very neat n nice doctors :)

Hi Girls! So...i know im a lil early to start the third tri thread, although ill be there in a week. I couldnt resist haha. I went to my midwifes appt today and found out im anemic. It explains why im sooooo tired all the time. Well im beyond tired but atleast i have an answer now. How is everyone else feeling?

hi ladies, how r u today? sadie, totally normal, im anemic too but my dr found out a month ago n im taking iron tablets now in addition to the calcium and prenatal vitamins.. too many pills to swallow but it makes the tireness better.. i still feel lazy most of the time though but its better than before. gtg now take care

Hi Guys, well, I went to work yesterday and felt like rubbish. Ended up barfing in the sink at work and came straight home and was in absolute misery the rest of the day. Thank goodness baby was moving heaps and I wasn't concerned that it has something to do with the pg. But I tell ya, I do NOT ever get the stomach flu or go home from work sick so it was really difficult for me. I couldn't even sleep during the day either. So that was cra p. At least I slept during the night. Woke a few times but sleeping helps so much with how you feel. I'm going to attempt work again today. I wouldn't do it if I didn't need the money desperately. I'm sitting here just hating myself for getting sick.

Hi Ladies! I've been feeling pretty good. had this wierd pain in my foot - near the arch, as though I had pulled a ligament or something. So I was limping all weekend, plus I often feel pain in my pubic region - ligament pains erg :( One of the most uncomfortable things that happens to me right now is if I'm on my feet for any real length of time my FEET HURT! It's so awful, it doesn't matter what kind of shoes I wear, my feet just hurt so bad. at work I sit a lot, so I'm fine during the weeks, it's actually usually weekends that are worse, being up and around doing errands or shopping. Kourtney, did they change your due date? i can't remember what it was, but I turn 27 weeks this thursday too! I'm due June 4th I think 28 weeks is the start of the 3rd tri. Oh RC, so many bloodtests :( I guess you're used to it though. I'll probably have one more (for a total of two) I think to check things, like the streb b or whatever. and I'm DREADING it. I'm a wimp lol. My next appointment is next week teusday, it feels like it's been forever since the last one, but after that i go to 3 week visits rather than 5 i think, so there'll be less time in between. I'm glad, cus I store up so many non urgent questions for my midwives in between appointments. Like how my tummy will go hard like a braxton hicks, but only on one side, the side the baby likes to hang out on. I think it's from his moving? can that trigger BH? Speaking of moving, baby NEVER stops! even if it seems still at times, If I sit back and place my hands on my tummy I can still feel little sleepy movements. but just, ALL the time, big kicks and turns and I don't know what. DH feels him all the time at night too, if we hug, the baby will kick and DH will feel it through his tummy! haha. I'm a bridesmaid for my best friend this weekend, we are very pleased that I still fit the Dresses which we bought before I knew I was PG. I had to trade with another bridesmaid to go up a size, but my dress is super comfy. i just hope the ceremony isn't long or my feet will be sore :( better go, work is done now, talk to ya'll later!
