Ok I posted some new pics one new bump photo and me and my bff and my boys on Easter! I look huge!! good grief...

JULIA - no problem just glad you got it! LOL hope it doesn't seem too overwhelming for you to make!

WOW I can see a huge difference from 2 weeks ago! all of you guys r getting huge! which is awesome... lol i feel like my belly isnt even close to ur's or Hillary's.. your boys loook so adorable!

hey girls, I'm so tired and just logged in real quick before going to bed. I'll check piczo in the morning! I need to get another pic too as I feel humongous already and wonder how my belly is going to stretch more! I had some feelings tonight like it was so tight and pulled that it was growing as I stared at it in the mirror!!! It's getting a bit different shape too. Looks like more is filling out up top. I think that is where all the ligament pain is coming from under my b___bs and rib pain? Well, talk to you all in the morning! night night...

ok im jealous i really need to put new pix up on piczo. i just need to take them. im getting huge but i wonder if its just me. so i will put up new ones tomorrow. im jealous cuz you guys all have new ones up there.

Wow guys! Everyone is looking super cute in your new pics- I love it!!! Those bellies are growing fast and just think... we are gonna get lots bigger. lol. Well, today I go back to the dr's. to get blood pressure checked & go over blood work from last week. Keep your fingers crossed for me that all will be okay. Kolleen, the dr's that I go to always do another u/s later in the pregnancy to determine the weight of the baby. I'm sure everywhere is different so it probably just depends on your doc. You could always ask for one, the worst they can tell you is -No. It's Thursday, one day to go, Yay!!! - Can you guys tell I hate being at work? We are moving in to the "new" house this weekend, I'm really excited. Saturday nite Tom & I are gonna have a drink to celebrate - he's getting a 40, and I'm making a virgin strawberry daquiri - we're breaking in the new house right!!! lmao

Tina - Did you ever get the e-mail I sent you?

I checked out the piczo this morning and everyone's pictures are so CUTE!!!! I love it :) I'll put a new belly pic up tomorrow or next week. Soon! I hate taking pictures of me...I'm trying to get over it and let Jessie take more as we go along because I know I'll regret it if I go through the whole pregnancy without any photos of me.

Hi guys! Wow, it didn't take long to fill this one up, lol. I'm good here, breezing along at 25 weeks. One thing I'm really happy about, maybe TMI, is I'm not so terribly constipated anymore. I don't know if anyone else has suffered with this, but it's a horrible feeling. I have to go catch up on this thread, I'll post back a little later. TINA - thanks for the e-mail, girl!

Hello.. i am so bummed today lia is in a werid positon that pressures my whole back, stomach, and vag area.. its killing me and this heartburn wont leave whatever i put in my mouth it gives me heartburn my neck itches from the outside. i just feel this terrible burn sensation, i dont know what else to do.. i take tums but it only works for like 20 min.. i couldnt sleep last nite because i couldnt figure out how she was in me... tina i got ur mail thanks alot .. ima cook the rice tonight.

Julia, you said your neck is itching? Like is your skin itching a lot? You should maybe call your doctor and explain this stuff. It is probably all normal pregnancy discomfort, but I've heard itchy skin can be a sign of liver issues in pregnancy (I think it is called cholestasis or something like that). I think that is intense all-over itching though! I didn't sleep well last night either even with the boppy wedge I bought. I can be comfy for 10 minutes and then the pain starts in my back around my rib cage again and gets worse as I stay laying on my side. I finally go back to reclining position. I guess that is how I'll have to sleep the rest of the pregnancy and I might as well get used to it! :)

o wow.. yea ive been trying to buy one of those pillow thingy's .. well its only in my throat no where else.. she keeps moving so much today but all the pressure is on my v____a area. i dont know i guess its just one of those days..

Yes, I would love to join your site. How do I do it? I am so tired today. I just want to go back to sleep but I cant because now I am back at work. :(

HEATHER - no I didn't but you know what I just chucked my spam and it could have gone in there - can you resend it - sorry....can you send it to tchambers at AVRWATER dot com? Hey KENDRA - can you do me a favor ?- I don't know how to resize my piczo page so that it doesn't go all over.....to the side - can you please resize it so that you don't have to scroll over?? Yeah the girls in his office are witches but they don't work at the hospital he had about 2 great funny nurses the hospital has some great nurses at labor and delivery and in postpartum......JULIA glad you got the recipe I hope it turns out good. Let me know how it turns out. As far as the itching if it's just one area I'd say you are ok and are just going to have to find some relief.....like calamine lotion or anti itch cream I took oatmeal baths when I was itching under my b___bs - I never itched all over and so eventually it will go away. STEF - that is exactly why you are having that stretching pain.....AMY - hey girl you are my twin and I notice when you are gone! LOL - dude we are all getting so big Kolleen can't wait to see some new photos.....

KENDRA - can you please hook CRYSTAL up with a piczo page? Thanks sweetie

Girls - think good thoughts for us today - our financial situation is dire and my DH is going to meet with a company that we are hoping will make an offer. He did get an offer from one other place, but it's 2nd shift, 4 days a week, 12 hours a day. It is great money, but we'll never see him! He would be gone from 3pm to 4am, and I don't think I can handle that. I'd be home alone essentially with 3 kids constantly, during the day he would have to sleep obviously. But he's been looking for something for a couple years, on & off while he's been self-employed, but no one has seemed willing to take a chance on him except for huge steps down in pay/responsibility compared to what he does now. It's been sooooo frustrating for him, but his business was always providing us with good income, so there was no rush as far as that was concerned. But in the last 6 months, it's like the rug has been pulled out from under us with different things happening all at once & his clients moving their business to oversea suppliers that he just can't compete with price-wise. I've been a SAHM for the last 6 years, and if I wasn't so far along with this pregnancy, I'd get a job right now, but who would hire me? We are hoping this comes thru for us, and just go from there. I just am in shock a little, at how our lives have changed so quickly. We've been fortunate, but foolish, we really should have better savings at this point in our lives. Two good things : we have no mortgage except a small home equity loan, and we have almost no credit card debt. We have our health, we have our kids, we have options, so it's not so bad, I guess. I'm concerned because we have another child on the way, and everything is so expensive! Food, gas, clothing, heating oil. It's crazy! Okay, I have to stop now before I depress everybody, I don't really want to go down this road anymore, right? LOL. Well, I am growing out of my current maternity wardrobe. I swear, my b___t is now growing at the same rate as my belly! WTH! I do NOT remember this with my two previous pregnancies. I was a basketball, and I put a layer or two on everywhere else, but mostly it was just my belly. This time I'm gaining everywhere!! I don't even want to know how much weight I've gained, I go to the doc on Monday, I bet I'm gonna get it about my weight. If she says anything I'm going to tell her to shut up or I'll sit on her! LOL
