Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi everyone! Mari- I had my baby shower at work yesterday & got a few nice things off of my registry that I did not expect. My staff also pitched in together & made food, got a cake, & gave me a $75 gift card to babies r us. I did not realize how much some of the people cared. So, I have a new dilemma. There is this other supervisor, she plays like she is your friend to your face, but then tries to hang ya at work for any little thing she can. I also had problems w/ her before- she used to have "relations" w/ my ex-father in law & when me & ex-husband were really going through it- such as when I had him banned from entering my workplace-(we have a guard at the front entrance b/c it's a state psych. hospital) this woman took it upon herself to call my ex-father in law & tell him. She has also done a bunch of other things along these lines which could have gotten me seriously hurt beings my ex has bi-polar & can become very violent. This is where the problem lies- she is my b.f.'s mothers next door neighbor. I asked that she not be invited to my family baby shower & b.f.'s mom said it was too late, b/c she already sent the invitations out. My b.f. then told her to tell that woman she can not come & she said she doesn't have the heart to. My thing is that if you are constantly trying to screw me, why would you even want to come? She has even tried to weasel her way into the planning! I really dislike this woman, & can not tolerate her. Would I be wrong by approaching her myself & asking that she not come? This is such a special time in my life that I only want to share w/ those that care about me & that I care about. Please give me some advise a.s.a.p.! I am ready to just b__w up at this woman!

Oh, My family shower is on the 24th of this month

Oh that was such a sweet reunion with DH and my dd. She was quiet and just stared and he reached for her and she went to him and layed on him they sat together for an hour with her just cuddling. Then she got down and showed off her new walking skills and made loud noises and kept trying to show off, so cute. SAIRD - I actually do have a ton of belly pix on my website lifeis1drful.piczo.com they're under Pregnancy. I even compared them to my first. I'll have new ones up on Wed. CATSMOMMY - I also have an appt on the 13th. I not too nervous about weight, it should be about 10lbs by now. But I'm nervous about what news to find out on that ultrasound. That waiting room sit is just going to kill me, lol. MISSP - I also haven't had any signs, b___b-wise. They're the same size not really sore, my nipples were right before my dd weaned almost 2 months ago. I wasn't engorged and I'm not leaking. I remember I got big nockers before!! Ok well they went from an A to a small C, but hey thats a big jump for the small b___bed folks. I been a comfortable B since and it still hasn't changed. JNFR614 - I wouldn't have anyone to invite to a baby shower, your lucky. Sounds like your in a tough spot with that lady. I would probably say something to her, it's suppose to be very special and about you, the baby and your family and close friends. That would be a lasting memory if she happened to do something mean there. I hope you figure out what to do!

Hi my chatty ladies!!! :) Sounds like you all are doing pretty well! Jen, I would say if you truly think this woman will ruin your shower then just tell her you don't feel comfortable, if you think you can just forget about it then I would let it go! That's a tough call!!! It's your shower so do what you want...but if you feel it will cause a rift between your BF's mother and you then maybe let it go...gosh that is rough!! I don't know where I am weight wise I would say I am about 10-12lbs but who knows. I am feeling pretty good except my crotch...the curse of the painful crotch is back! ha!! :) I have been walking or working out about 3-4 times a week and no matter how hard I try my public bones just feel like they are seperating more and more!!! MissP my b___bs never leaked with my ds and I nursed for 8 mo ( after a rough start with it!) and this time I don't have any clostrum or leakage at all...Your milk typically won't come in for 3-4 days after birth. Don't worry- woman's bodys were made for this!!!! You guys it is SOOOOOOO awesome in MN right now. It is in the 70s with such a nice cool breeze I LOVE IT. After I read you ladies were sleeping with windows open we opened up the house and it is in the 50-60s at nice so super awesome to cuddle up with Aaron my hubby! On a sad note (not really sad at all!) my little man has tonsilitis..who know a 15mo old could get tonsilitis? I feel so bad because we didn't even know his throat hurt but he had a high fever and was drooling an excessive amount and was really lethargic so I took him in and the doc literally rolled himself away from Jacob (my son) and said "Goodness- those things are TOUCHING! OUCH!!!!" I felt so bad for the little man he didn't even tell me they were hurts...oh wait he can't talk! :) He is at home with daddy right now, I had him this morning, and he is getting a ton of cuddle time from both of us! :)

Ok Britt, I just went and looked at your preggo pics and honey, where are you putting that baby? Your belly is so freaking cute, I think you look smaller this time than with Alexea though. Are your internal organs absolutely squashed?!! I just feel huge, like my skin might bust. How big was Alexea btw? My last two were both over 9 lbs. How I would love to have a smaller baby...

hi girls... i have been busy with the in-laws visiting...yeah perfect timing! like im not tired enough as it is. I also can't sleep well again..and i was doing ok on the weight front but actually gained 4.5pounds in 10 days...HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? I feel gross. Britt- wow that is scary what happened...i hope your next appointment went ok? and what bas***ards!!! for not letting your husband take the day off, i completly understand the nightmare that must have been having a toddler in the pram ALL day...that must have added a lot of stress for you. Anyhow, let us know how you get on. My last appointment last week my blood pressure was slightly up, not usually a problem..but with my last bub it went up at 39 weeks and i was in hospital for 6 days til i ahd the baby, they were worried it would develop into preeclampsia, luckily it never did...but i just don't want to have that happen again, esp because it's earlier this time...anyway not much i can do about it, but, just a bit stressed. Anyhow,, will check all your pics out later on..i have to go eat!

I certainly had 2 doughnuts for breakfast!!!

Hi Ladies - I had my 32wk appointment this morning. Everything looks a-ok! I'm up 28.6 pounds!!! I feel so frumpy! Just 8 weeks to go... and counting! As tired as I've been, I'm getting my big booty up and walking again! I haven't walked in about 3 weeks... but I've been so exhausted! Britt - I think you have an appt today as well?? How did that go? Liz... all I've eaten so far is a banana, 2 gla__ses of water, my vitamins and a tall, non-fat, defaf, no-whip mocha from Starbucks! I'm about to eat a bowl of cereal. But that doughnut sure sounds yummy!!

31 weeks today- woo hoo!!! I just put a new belly pic up on myspace! I think I've gained the most amount of weight so far- I was up 34lbs. at my last appt. & that was almost 2 weeks ago! I go back on friday- I don't even wanna know how much I've gained the past 2 weeks!

Oh Fun Mari!!! Well even though I was at 7-10lbs at my 28 week appt I am pretty sure the fact that I just followed up my doughnuts with a big bac, fries and sprite isn't doing much for me! The only thing I have going is I am still working out but have skipped out this week at the gym and only gone for walks...you look great Jen!! Cute belly!!!!

Jen - Your belly is too cute! Your belly b___ton didn't pop either!! Mine did and it drives me cookoo!! It rubs up againist everything and I feel like I have to pee constantly! Liz - go for it and eat the big macs! You're only up 7-10lbs - that's awesome!! If I only gained up to 10lbs in this stage of the game, I'd be eating big macs for breakfast, lunch and dinner, LOL : )

Haha- well something tells me I am more at 15lbs by now...hey I have been meaning to ask you - you always say your belly b___ton rubs on everything and you feel like you have to go to the bathroom...is it because your belly b___ton is rubbing on things? Does your belly b___ton trigger having to go to the bathroom? Sorry I forgot to ask you!

My belly b___ton must be super sensitive because when it rubs against my shirt, pj's, etc... I have the sensation to urinate. Sometimes my daughter will rub my belly and she touches my belly b___ton and I just cringe in disgust and close my legs because I have that darn feeling! Hmmm... I'm beginning to wonder if that's normal! I usually have an "inny", but obvioulsly it pops out when I'm pregnant. Same thing happened when i was preggo's with Cat.

Well isn't that interesting...I bet there is a nerve right there that is causing that. This WHOLE time I thought you just meant typical frequent urination sensation!! ha! then you posted it again I was like...WAIT...the belly b___ton makes you have to pee?!?!?! Ha!! I bet that is a weird feeling.

Hey everyone, I turned 28 yesterday and 33 wks pregnant. I was already feeling bad about my weight gain (34 lbs last check) and now I just ran in to one of my friends who is as far along as I am and she looks like she hasnt gained a lb except for baby. Ugh! I cant wait to go on a diet but of course Im dreading it too. Catsmommy, dont feel weird about the belly b___ton thing, mine has not popped but my son likes to poke me in the belly b___ton when my shirt rides up and I get the same sensation of having to go! I thought I was the only weird one.

Hey girls, well my belly b___ton is large and brown, more like just a brown spot on my huge tummy now. My 4 year old told me 'that's not a b___ton MOmmy,' and then he raised his shirt and showed me what a b___ton really was supposed to look like! It was too funny. As for the eating thing, I can't believe I was ever nauseous and couldn't keep things down now. Now I want everything! And the constipitation is driving me nuts. Anyone else?
