Pregnancy Info HOME

Oh girls, I must be having a hormone attack or something, but I just am about to bawl reading your posts! I'm very lucky to have found such a wonderful group of women to be sharing this same experience with me!!! TINA what you said to Amy was beautiful and I couldn't have said anything better myself. Amy hang in there and it sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your husband! Things will work out for all of us. I know each of us has our own individual struggles, but it's all gonna be fine :) HEATHER, another tip I remember from my friend with the high bp and stuff was when it would get up there she'd like on her left side. Her doctor said that helps the circulation and stuff so try to lie on your left side as much as possible! Just please take it easy!!! I have oficially taken my worrying job BACK! you can't have it ;P

Hi everyone. I've been so hit and miss on this board, I've really got to try to get into the swing of things! Heather, I'm sorry you're having to deal with the pre-eclamsia. On a positive, atleast they cought it right away so that hopefully you can have your baby as close to term as possible! Has anyone else been having trouble with nausea/vomiting still? I'm not as far as you girls (I'm due July 31) so am just 23 weeks. For some reason, this past week I've noticed that every day the scale goes up a pound or so. I don't notice anywhere that I'm retaining fluid or anything, but it seems strange. Until this point, I was still below what I weighted when I got prego due to the weight loss during the first tri. Now I'm up to what I was before I got prego - it's just that all the weight came on this week. Did anyone else have this happen? Other than that, just to update since I haven't been very good about posting, we're expecting our first baby, a girl, on July 31 and are very excited!

STEF - emotions are running high for me today - my bf is still acting all weird and I am just at a loss as to what to do about it...I guess she'll tell me what's bothering her when she's ready....so I get home and my mom and dad call me and say they bought me a webcam so that they can see the baby and the baby can see them and I just started bawling! My poor mom started stuttering around ....good grief I feel like a friggin mess today emotionally! I for one think I would go nuts without you guys I don't have to hear anyone tell me I am over reacting or being silly...you guys all relate it's great! Pepperperson! Welcome welcome welcome! My name is Tina and I am due July 2nd with a girl I have 2 sons 4 and 8....we are happy to have you! We are a great group of ladies we hope we inspire you to jump on daily and chat with us.OK girls - I for once will be gone all weekend...my parents are taking all of us to Knott's Berry Farm tomorrow then we will stay in a hotel and relax and lounge Saturday and then go to a Pirate Dinner adventure for dinner....then we will get up Sunday have nice leisurely breakfast and come home....I am really looking forward to it and if it wasn't for our friends watching our dogs I wouldn't even bring my cell phone! and just be free!!! LOL ---ok girls = I love you guys! I hope to have time to check in tomorrow before I leave but if not everyone stay safe! and STEF DON'T WORRY i WON'T BE GETTING ON ANY CRAZY RIDES!!!! LMAO!!!!

Good morning sweeties. I can't thank you all enough for the kind words & encouragement you have given me. All of you are a blessing to me and the baby right now. It's wonderful to have people that understand you, and never judge you, no matter what. It's been a lifesaver to me to know that not one of us is alone when it comes to life handing us lemons. I draw strength from strong women - like each & every one of you. Well, okay now I'm getting all teared up, so I need to stop. :) Tina, Sounds like you've got a great weekend coming up - enjoy yourself, relax, and just chill out. Stef was right - your words to Amy were beautiful, you've got a heart of gold. Amy - you & your husband already have something special and very rare between a husband & wife. Something like that is meant to be cherished, and will only get stronger through trials & bumps in the road. It sounds like you two have enormous amounts of faith in each other - and that's what it takes to make it!! I bet you'll be surprised at how well you will adjust to taking care of the boys & the new baby. You will make out just fine :0) Stef - thanks for all the little tips, thats what I need right now - because I am clueless! If you hear of anything else, please let me know. It is sooo encouraging to hear that others have been through this and come out of it just fine. Thanks sweetie. Hi pepperperson, Welcome back - congrats on the lil' girl - pink is winning big time over here - with the exception of me & Amy, we don't know what we're having. Kendra & Crystal are the only ones on the blue team & all the others are having girls - Stef, Tina, Julia, Hillary, Kolleen ( hope I didn't forget anyone)

tina- um actually i dont know if i can resize or not; thats a good ? you just might need to put things down more; ill do that for you if youd like. also yes i can get her added to the page. =] sry ladies im out of it today dh & i arent getting along the best again and just things are rocky; =[ ugh before i add a page for crystal when are you due & what are you having.

Yay! Friday finally :) Tina, that sounds like fun this weekend. 2 weeks out is our little getaway so I'm getting excited. This weekend will probably prove to be very boring though. I think things will start to pick up here after the showers in May, but gosh May seems so far off for some reason. KENDRA, I hope you and dh get things patched up. I know that when Jessie and I are on the outs it is 10 times worse while pregnant! It seems like the world is going to fall apart, ya know? I tend to be dramatic too, lol. Hi PEPPER, it does sound lik eyou are having a rough go of it lately! I'm sorry :( I get slight twinges of nausea here and there but really only if it's been a while between meals. Nothing like it was in the first trimester. I sure hope that doesnt' come back! I always say to just check with your doctor if you feel like anything is "off"....weight gain, nausea, etc. HEATHER, take care of yourself and I'll see if I can find out anymore tips for you! Ok girls, I might not be on the rest of the day because I need to take my computer to get it all cleaned up and fixed since it's been running strangely. I'll be gone most of the day for that. I'll check back in tonight though. Have a happy Friday!!! :)

TGIF everyone! TINA-sounds like you have a cool weekend planned, I'm totally jealous! Fill us in when you get back on all the details! TINA, HEATHER, STEFKAY, & EVERYONE - thank you for all the kind thoughts and the wonderful things you said, you guys are amazing. I wish we could all get together somehow, it would be so much fun! Can't you just see us taking over some coffeehouse with all our little one's in strollers and just talking non-stop? HEATHER - how are you feeling? I'm anxious to hear what your doctor will tell you on Monday. (Is that when you find out more about your care management?) Keep us posted and we will be keeping you & baby in our prayers. STEFKAY - how are you doing? I thought about you a lot last night! I could not get comfortable, had a weird pain/stretching feeling around my ribs AND for the first time this pregnancy, bad heartburn last night. I had to sleep propped up on pillows and with a bottle of Rolaids! LOL, but I felt much better that way and except for sliding down and my head rolling around I slept GR8! Feeling better today about DH and our situation. He's going to accept the first offer I was telling you all about, the 2nd shift position. It is good money and a big step up as far as responsibility, he will be in charge of a dept with 20 employees. Plus, the benefits are going to be so great. Right now, with him being self-employed we are paying ridiculous amounts of money for health insurance. It is outrageous. So, there are positives, and we will have to adjust, but we can do it, and talking about it with you all has really helped me to deal with it internally so that when I talked with DH, I could be there for him while he worked it out for himself. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THAT! BTW - we do have a good relationship now, we've been together for almost 12 years, (we met when I was 20 and he was 28) but it has taken A LOT of fights, work, compromise, frustration & tears to get to this point. It's better now than ever, but we've had some hugely stressful events that slammed our marriage and it's taken big steps on both our parts to deal with it and be on the same team for one another, instead of duking it out with one another! We didn't just fall into what we have, we had to fight for it tooth & nail, and I never realized it would have to be that way. I was so naive when we first got together, a romantic I guess, and didn't realize how much work love could be, they sure don't tell you that in books & movies, right? LOL Well, with time comes wisdom, and I still have a lot to learn.

Good morning ladies.. just came by to wish ya'll a great weekend.. i dont feel so good so i mite not be on here too much. but enjoy ur weekend and i hope all goes well..

Good Morning ladies! WELCOME Pepper! I am 25 weeks along with a little boy. I am due the 12th of July but will actually be having him the 7th of July. His name is going to be Ely Artimus. I have an 8 month old at home named Jordan. This is a wonderful group of women!

happy friday everyone!!! well i have finals today in school. boy am i nervous. i just want to get them done and over with you know. some of the things we are learning are not even gonna come into use for me because im wanting dental not medical. but i have to learn them. next cla__s is anatomy and philsyology. not looking forward to that. i never evrn made it thru health cla__s. but on the positive side im learnng alot. its week 27 today. i just read that the babies are 2lbs and 2 oz. and that they are 12 inches long. OMG!!! that makes more sense to why i feel such strong punches in my ribs. it feels like lylee is in between my ribs with her toes. it is such a weird sensation. well since its friday everyone takes off. so in case any of you checks out before i get back on have a great weekend. im going to see my sister from idaho!!! im so excited. i miss her terribily. my dh is on his way homw already from work. its raining and they were doing an outside house today. so i get to spend some time with him today. i dont see much of him any more now that its nicer outside. it will be felt in the check next week, him not working today. but hopefully it will all pan out.

I just wanted to stop in and say hey - yesterday was great - it was a long day I rode all of the extremely slow and boring rides...LOL after getting back to the hotel I was a little spotty but that could have been from s_x Wedneday or just all the walking that I haven't been doing.....my stomach is bothering me so I have been laying low and have a good 3 hours til we head out on our Pirate Dinner adventure - not sure how much I will eat my stomach has been upset all day - I had some rolaids and diarrhea so we'll see ......I am just lounging and it's great --my parents brought their new laptop so I said I wanted to check in on my gals.....Love you guys - be back tomorrow night and tell you all about it......! oxxoxoxoxoxo Hugs to you all.....
