Good grief i am so enormous and i dont think i can face getting any bigger. I am like freakily large. Ive only put weight on my bump so far and it seems to be streching out at least a foot in front of where i actually am so i keep hitting things, dropping things, getting food constantly down every top. I am such a clutz. I think its partly pregnancy and partly sleep deprivation. I only had the one nights good sleep and last night went back to the half hour here and there, toss and turn all night nightmare. I just cant believe that if alls well with tyler i may still have 11 weeks to go and actually get even bigger!! Im almost hoping he does come at 34weeks, and then i feel terrible for thinking that immediately after. Anyne else all messed up generally? x x

Miss P, I am enormous too. I've gained 20 lbs I think, but my bump is huge. HUGE. People think I"m due all the time and I feel like I am. Oh well.

Hi Ladies! We're getting close! I'm hanging in there, Jen - thanks! Getting super duper uncomfortable! My sweet tooth is in overdrive, so I've been eating anything I can get my hands on. My neighbor keeps baking me stuff! She baked me another apple crisp pie thingy last night and it's literally almost all gone! I ate half before going to bed last night and I'm eating the remaining as we speak! MissP & Saird... I was up 25lbs at my last appt 3 wks ago.. I go for my next appt tomorrow... I'm super scared to get on that scale! I wouldn't be surprised if I'm up 30lbs by tomorrow (I'll let you know). Has anyone gotten the nursery ready?? I'm not even close yet! So much to do... and so little time! My daughter turns 4 years old today - YAY! Liz - I feel like that too, but only if I walk... I've got this pressure down there and feels like he's gonna come right out. I'm gonna ask the Doc about that tomorrow. Here is a little refresher too (good idea, Jen)... My name is Mari (pronounced Marie) I'm 30 years old preggos with my 2nd child, I'm about 29 wks along and I'm from Chicago.

Mari- I know I already told you but nursery isn't done here...I have the MAJOR itch to start! Actually on Sunday I started messing around in there and my DH Aaron said "Jacob (our son) tell mommy to stop nesting already!" I was like...I am anxious!! I did find old size 1 diapers from Jacob and was smelling that fresh baby smell until they poo and looking at HOW tiny they are!!! MissP I am so proud of you- you have made it so far already!!! I can't believe we are in the 3rd tri already!!! Isnt' that amazing?!?! So exciting!!!

Oh Mari-if I had an apple crisp at my house...I most CERTAINLY wouldn't have that last 2 days. I am having a major problem...I all of the sudden am into JUNK FOOD galore. Like anything I can get my hands on...I just want FAT!! I am still working out 2 days a week so that is good and I have gained 6-7lbs which is fine...but I put on 25lbs in the 3rd tri with my son!!! I am deathly afraid of the same again!

ejmeskan, I have a feeling the same thing is going to happen to me. I haven't gained a lot at all but now i feel like i am eating more and i feel like it will stick....Ahhh joy! lol. As long as the baby is ok, it's all that matters i guess. My recent adventure has been trying to create a theme for my baby girl's room. Not as easy as I had thought! This alone can take up my whole day....let's hope they don't notice at work! hahha.....feel good everyone! xoxoxo

Hi everyone! Guess what- I stumbled across info that I am getting a baby shower. Ok, so my sister doesn't regularly check her myspace, I basically take care of it for her. I checked it the other day & saw there was a message from my boyfriends mom on there- I knew what it was about right away, so I wasn't going to read it, but then I got to thinking- what if it's for the same weekend as my mom's surprise 50th b-day party ( mom lives in West Virginia & we live in Jersey- her party is in WV) So, I read it & the date she had in mind was the same weekend, so to keep my mom's party a surprise & not have them conflicting, I confided in my sis & told her I know whats going on & that she had to let my boyfriends mom know about the 50th so that when she talked to my mom, my mom wouldnt be able to agree on the origional date & it could be changed before anyone even mentioned it to her. I told my sis not to tell that I know about it, because my intentions were not to ruin it, but to keep my moms 50th a surprise- which I feel is more important- I mean come on, we all figure out when our baby showers are anyway. So, yes I'm getting one! Also the girls at work are planning one for me too. I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many loving people!

Hello all! I haven't been on here since the big move to the 3rd Tri!!! : ) My name is Amy, 29 weeks today, and I'm from Kentucky. My husband and I have a 10 year old daughter and soon to be son, Ely. Miss P I am so glad to hear that everything is going so well. I've thought about you a lot! Patience, glad to hear things are looking up for you, also! Saird, thinking of you and yours!!!
I guess I'm truly almost there...I was just reading about things to look forward to over the next few weeks (Ha) and was so glad to note that my feet and ankles weren't swollen. That is until Saturday, when I looked down and didn't recognize my own feet!!! Anyone have any good remedies for this?

Hey everyone, 30 weeks today. Having a downer of a day. I just dont know if I am doing the right thing. I really want this baby but this situation would be so much easier if I werent pregnant. Since everyone is giving updates, I am 27, this is my second little boy for my husband and I and we live in CO. Amy I hate to say but there is no cure for the swollen feet. Just put them up as much as you can. I havent run into that yet. I envy you all being able to do nurserys. We are still trying to get a new rental house. We only have 2 bedrooms now and it is going to be a little cramped with the new post. Army housing is not the biggest in my neighborhood.

Hi Amy, good to hear from you! Patience, I hear you on the jealousy of nurseries thing. The baby is just going to be in our room this time, as my other two children have the other two bedrooms. We can't move because my husband can never get insurance again because of the cancer. It sucks. But oh well. We have eachother. Anyone else had a minor freak out lately? LOL. What I mean is last night I didn't feel so well, my tummy felt hard as a rock and I was so uncomfortable and I couldn't breathe and felt like I just wanted to cry, thinking I can't do this for another two months or so! I kept telling myself to go to sleep, tomorrow is a new day, but I dont' seem to be over it! The only comfortable position I have is hanging over my yoga ball on all fours. I've given it it's own name now. The kids think it's hilarious. I say, "where's Fred?" and they go and find it for me. haha

28 WEEKS TODAY- WOO HOO!!! ONLY 11 MORE LEFT!!! I go for my glucose test tomorrow- yucky! I think my total gain so far is around 30 lbs.- yikes! Mari- I feel ya w/ the movement hurting this time around- it feels like I'm getting elbows up towards my ribs all the time & it hurts sooo bad! Saird- I totally dread going to bed at night- getting comfy is harder & harder to do each night, but we are almost there! Hi Amy- glad to see your back w/ us! Patience- hang in there girl, you've been so strong for so long- trust your heart & instinct. MissP- still hanging in there? I am so glad things have gotten better for you!

You ladies crack me up today. "Where's Fred" that's awesome! By the way Saird- you do a wonderful job of staying positive! Patience- you hang in there. I wish I had good words for you just know we are here! That is annoying Mari- why won't they let you...I would have been bugged too! I tried Turbo Kickboxing last night- THAT was humorous....I seriously felt like holding my crotch because I thought a head was coming out! I will try it again tonight and if it is just as bad then I am afraid the tennies are going to be hung up!!!

Hi ladies - i am totally with you on the uncomfortable, i cant believe ive got about 10weeks of this to go feeling. I didnt expect it to be this frustrating either! I man i cant even see my feet never mind b able to paint my toenails. Its hard enough to shave my legs. Ladies i went to the midwife today and my bump is measuring about 35cm, so she did it twice just to be sure as im 29weeks 4days and she couldnt believe it. Especially as its my first full term pregnancy. I asked her why its so large and she just shrugged. Really, i dont have any confidence in my midwife!! Anyway, an update on the weight thing, ive put on about 14 pounds, and most of that since 20weeks cos before then i stayed the same. Im happy its not more, but as i was big to start with its not really good. Im supposed to be aiming for 15-25 total gain and im already approaching my limit with 10 and a bit weeks to go!! I too am craving sugar and junk food! I just want cheese crisps and chocolate. All the fattening stuff. Im so scared im going to be a huge blob after and dh wont like me any more. Anyway thats enough on me. Patience, im glad youre hanging in there and i know what you mean, i would love to be able to think about painting the nursery but my lifes way too complex. Our littlun will b sleeping in with us, as we are staying with my parents at the moment until we get sorted with work and somewhere to live. Having just returned home to th UK after being in the Caribbean for 2 years, its not an easy time here either! I feel for you with how your feeling about your dh though and it cant b easy. Keep strong and stay positive, your little baby will b with you soon and maybe afterwards youll feel more like making some decisions. Ej, saird, catsmommy and everyone, glad your all ok and chiming in regular!! Its nice to have this little support group isnt it. One of my best friends is also due in oct so i have a real life oct moms club aswell!! x x
