Oooh Mari the dredded latching...ugh it actually brings back bad 1st week memories for me!!! Jacob wouldn't latch either...I pumped and fed him with a dang pipet (you know what they feel little birds with) for the first 10 days or so. It was so stressful. All he ever wanted to do was sleep the ENTIRE time!!! It was many tears, and a lot of cold wash clothes and naked (him being naked) feedings in the beginning...I actually feel stressed thinking about that! But fortunately we were able to make it work and I did it for about 8 mo! I am so looking forward to it this time because I know, just my body this time around alone, that it will go great!

Hey girls, OMG you have to see the preggo pics we had done! They are so amazing, my photographer is awesome. If anyone is on facebook and hasn't added me, it's Aryanna VonTetzel. You have to see these, even though my belly is huge already!

Aryanna I am SOOOO in love with your preggo photos! They are wonderful! I can't look at them enough you are so beautiful!

Oh hilarious Aryanna- I didn't even see you posted this when I wrote my post- to funny!

Thanks so much, I love them too, I'm so glad we went and did them. I never did any with the other two so this was a first. But honestly, isn't my belly huge already?!!

I actually think it looks so great, it doesn't look any bigger than the one on your trip when you were in your mid- 20s (weeks that is). The photos of you and the family are adorable, the photos of you are gorgeous, but the photos of you and Bob gosh I guess the only thing I can say is priceless and AMAZING!

Well the photographer is amazing. She's a friend of ours, she just does this in her house. I think her work is awesome. Hey, where is everyone else these days? Everyone ok?

I'm still here- just been busy & tired the past few days. I hit the 30 week mark yesterday- woo hoo! Coming down the home stretch- I can't wait, we are getting so excited! (me, b.f., & my son)- and of course the grandparents, aunts & uncles as well. Oh, to answer the nursing ?- I plan on b.f.'ing. I did it for a whole year w/ my son & plan on doing it this time around for as long as I can. I registered for a really nice medela pump, so I can pump when I go back to work. I had no problems at all w/ my son- I think it was a great experience & wouldn't formula feed unless I absolutely had to due to medical reasons. Aryanna- I love,love, love your pics!!!! I think my 2 favorites are the one w/ you, Bob , & the kids w/ their hands on your belly & the one of you & Bob w/ your hands in a heart shape on your belly. You look great, your just all belly, that is y u feel like it looks so big. How are the rest of you all today?

I'm still here too... just been crazy busy! Yesterday, I worked 12 hours then had to take the hubby to the ER - he's finishing up our sunroom and was cutting some wood and got a piece stuck in his eye - NOT FUN! I'm doing okay... just really, really tired! I have the constant urge to urinate and it's driving me crazy!! I remember having this same issue when I was pregnant with my daughter! I can't get comfy in bed... I'm just so tired and hormonal lately! Just about 2 months to go... and counting! Saird - I have a facebook acct but maybe only one pic up - I generally use myspace. I'm gonna go look for you today - I want to see all these great pics everyone is talking about : )

Hi ladies!!! I took an hour bath last night, I just soaked and can say that when I got out I actually felt AMAZING -didn't have one problem, not one ache or pain!!! SO I slept like a baby and only woke up once- I am at about 3 times a night most nights!! They aches and pains are back today but it was worth it! Mari- how is your hubby? Is his eye ok? Jen I am excited for your baby shower!!!

I'm here too....sometimes i don't have time to write but i read every day! Took the day off yesterday because i needed a ME day. Got my nails done and relaxed all day and watched "A BABY STORY"....God i love those shows! Too bad i always work when they are on. Anyway, ejmeskan you are sooo lucky that you only get up 3 times. I am seriously up at least 7-8 times a night. And lately i have been getting such bad back aches, not fun! hope it doesnt get worse...So ladies, not sure if your hubbies bdays are now but i just made the cutest gift for mine. His bday is on Saturday and i had custom onesies made for the baby but pertaining to him... INKtastic.com is amazing just in case anyone needs any ideas!

That is an awesome idea! My hubby's b-day is Sept 3rd (mine is Sept 2nd) I wonder if I could find something cool with 2 kids involved!

His eye is much better today - thank you! As a matter of fact, I just dropped an antibiotic in there a few min ago. I am going to do that tonight and take a nice, long bath. I am so tired and literally can't keep my eyes open! Even if it's just one nights rest, I'll be happy. I'm up anywhere between 4-6 times a night! no aches and pains (yet) - but I'm sure it won't be long before they start coming on : )

Hey girls, well I am one of the unfortunate ones, I am up sooo many times a night as well. If it's not to pee, it's because I have leg cramps so bad I have to walk around to try and get rid of them. On the bright side, my glucose test was fine and both an OB and a midwife say it's ok for me to try to vbac. I'm also planning on nursing this time, which i"ve never really done before. I just spent the whole day painting my daughter's bedroom (she's at camp) and it's a surprise for her when she gets home tomorrow night. She's 7. Now my legs are killing me!

Oh, I hear you with those leg cramps! They are HORRIBLE and they always come on in the middle of the night! That's what hubbies and bf's are for - to rub your legs and feet in the middle of the night : ) Okay.. TMI right now, but I'm at a loss! My first tri I was constipated... then the second tri rolled around and things started moving regularly again - YAY! Well... It's been about 2 weeks and I'm back at that darn constipation stage! I'm miserable. I literally eat 25-35 grams of fiber a day - I don't know what else to do! Aryanna - your daughter is going to be so excited to see her room!! What color(s) did you paint it??

Hi girls, ah a nice new thread. Well i hear you on the lack of sleep front. I am sooo tired of not sleeping. In fact i am over it. Its not funny anymore. Im constantly awake all th night in agony with my lower back. My mount pillow isnt helping any and i have about 10 pillows in various positions - nothing works. I have resigned myself to the last good nights sleep being sometime in January 08 - it might be my last!!! How is everyone anyway. apart from shattered i mean. My bump is enormous and I feel like i need a 'wide load' sticker applied somewhere. Seriously what is it with people staring when your pregnant!! Also, while im having a moan i may aswell say that i can hardly walk, literally if im on my feet for 10 mins now i have to sit down. Plus im only at waddling speed anyway, so i cant get anywhere. So much for staying active up to the birth!! Anyway, im happy to reach 32weeks this weekend. Thats a nice feeling. My baby is moving so much, some of his kicks or big movements literally stop me in my tracks, wether im walking or talking or whatever, i feel like i cant breathe sometimes. Whilst i love being pregnant on the one hand, i cant wait for the day when hes here!! espcially if it takes my backach away!! x xe
