Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi ladies!! Hope all is well! Man you ladies are so far ahead of the game! ha! But then again I am only 33 weeks! I haven't started packing...but this is the funniest thing...remember how I was in this nesting stages and have the babes room done? Well I still have a list of about 10 things to do and I have NO motivation to do it. I just keep thinking...Oh I have plenty of time! Really I have less then 4 weeks until I am full term! ha! But I just keep putting it off because I am not ready yet!!! I STILL NEED TIME! haha!! Jennifer...I remember that feeling with my last pregnancy...that was the WORST- actually dredding going to bed. Ugh. I am still sleeping really well so that is helping. I don't have many aches and pains...and NO crotch pain this time...whoohooo!! Only a little bit here and there! I will take it! ha! Beka- I went and bought this adorable PJ set and never put it on because I didn't want to ruin it...which I would have! I am buying a black little jumper outfit of some sort for myself but I don't know what...but it will be BLACK!!! :) My hospital has really cute robes there! ha! :) Angel are you asking what to pack for the hospital for the babe or for the babe in general? Where are you delivering a__suming you making it to full term? Oh and great news on the 8/8 and how cool to see the 3 D!! Fun! MissP and Mrs Sandy- so many things in common!! Congrats on your Anniversary! It is my 30th b-day today and I am SOOOOO excited...my mom and sis are taking me for a surprise day at the spa on Saturday...it is all I have wanted!! I don't know much but know I will be pampered! It is Aaron's b-day tomorrow so I will do something special for him...we are going out to dinner tonight to celebrate both b-days with my family!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ!! The big 3-0!! I turned 30 in Dec - and I will forever remain 30, ha! Jen - I can't sleep if my life depended on it! I'm so darn uncomfy. I get up a million times to pee. I rotate from our bed to our daughter's bed in-between pee breaks - my hubby thinks I'm nuts! Just a few more weeks... the LONGEST few weeks of my life! I haven't packed one thing yet. I've been thinking about it however (does that count). I need to go buy some Granny undies as well. I travel a lot with my job so my toiletries are already in a bag. I need to pack some clothes, pj's, magazine, camera, oh boy... lots to pack! I plan on bringing my laptop to the hospital with me. The nursery is not quite done yet! We've got the furniture in there, just need to paint. But he'll be sleeping in our room the first few months anyway. Hats off to you ladies who are ahead of the game! Hope everyone had a nice, long Labor Day (wrong Labor day Jen, hahaha - good one) weekend!

CatsMommy you're pretty much done if all you have left to do is paint! I need to buy some curtains and should be done for now. I don't know when I'm "supposed" to buy diapers and stuff. I just feel funny buying those things now. Question for you ladies- does anyone else have horrible foot pain when they stand up...omg i feel like these flats are the cause but then wearing heels isnt really an option either. i just feel like my entire ankle is bruised. I need to buy some foot cream and make my hubby ma__sage them. God, i can't wait to stop working!!

ACtually I was talking about diaper bag essentials in general...And hopefully if i make it to fourty weeks carmen will be here on oct 5th!

I was having irregular braxton hicks on Friday with back pain. I just let it go because they were not regular. I have been OVERLY thirsty for the last 3 days. Like I drink a 3 liter of ginger ale in 24 hours, along with juice, water, and chocolate milk! ( I don't have gestational diabetes) I keep having a lot of bowel movements, which is odd because I have been constipated (TMI) The mood swings have never been so terrible! I mean TERRIBLE!! I have felt a lot of pressure sown there. And have been peeing a lot more then normally. Now today (it's only 10 am) When I woke up I was having this stinging, tight pain that went from my back to my belly, and also from the top of my belly to the bottom. This morning I have also had a bit of pain down below.... I think that's all of the symptoms. I haven't really chalked it all up to labor because I was told the contractions have to be regular. And sometimes they are 10 min apart then 12 min then 14 min.. And I don't think that's regular.

Hey ladies, I am officially due 4 weeks from today. I am really starting to get anxious about delivering. I had a difficult but great delivery last time because of a great epidural. Im just not feeling as educated this time. Last time we did cla__ses and watched all the t.v. shows. This time we havent had time to take any cla__ses or watch the shows. I packed my bag a couple of weeks ago, minus the stuff that I could not put in there yet. I just need to buy myself some magazines or something to entertain myself. We had to take back our ba__sinett that we used with my ds because it was recalled so we are going to use the one that fits on top of the playpen and hope we like it. Anyways, Im sleeping horrible and getting really nervous! Thats about it.

Angel- I would say diapers, wipes (if you can find a little wipe holder that is easier than lugging all the wipes) hand sanitizer, diaper rash cream-b___t paste works great!, mylicon (for gas-if your babe has it) tylenol when they are older, thermometer, just little things you will need "in case" and of course...you will need a change of clothes for b__w outs for a while!!!! It's so weird to hear you are all so close...I feel SOOOO far away but then when I hear things like Patience is 4 weeks...EEK!!!!

Cherry I'd be freaking out too if i was feeling those pains...do you think you might be getting closer? Can you go see your doc? Oh man, so scary! Patience, I am sure you will be great even this time around. But I totally know the feeling of being scared. As every day pa__ses I am ready to cry. I know it's not a big deal but when its your first time you just don't know what to expect. I just hope my recovery isnt too bad. And i hope i know what to do with my baby!

Beka - I know... I feel kinda weird buying diapers too. I've been getting a ton of coupons in the mail lately so I've been taking advantage and buying them. You'll go through diapers in no-time! They poop and pee after every feeding and they eat every 2-3 hours, so I would say start stocking up any time. Liz - you're so right.. wipes, mylicon (my life saver), rash cream, etc.. are all things we should probably have prior to the little one's coming home. We're all so close....

Oh I loved the gripe water it worked wonders! I also use burts bees products and they have a cute little kit with essential like for the diaper bag in it, I'm still waiting for someone to get it, but I don't the hinting has worked, I'll probably order it in a few weeks, I'll be 33 tomorrow. I'm going for an ultrasound and fetal monitering once a week, things seem ok right now. Maybe as I'm already dialated that'll take a few pain points off labor?! Hmm, I can only wish! Happy Birthday EJM!!! This time around I'll be using cheaper diapers (off brands) and my cloth collection from my daughter. It's all about saving a few pennies this way since I haven't been working or even able to go to cla__ses. I'm actually excited to start working and get into my cla__ses again (ma__sage school) but totally flipped out as my two babies will have to go to daycare! DH will also be gone from Jan/Feb to Dec next year in Afganistan so definately appretiating our time left as well.

britt-I feel your pain with having time left, My husband is supposed to go to Afghanistan from June of next year to June of 2010. So, I am trying really hard not to think about it. He has missed so much of our sons life already!

Thank you Britt and Patience to your husbands for fighting for our country!! And thank you for being a military wife...it cannot be easy. With that said please remember my company offers a services called GreenCare for Troops where we try to find volunteers to provide free lawncare to families where the primary breadwinner is over seas. Let me know if you are interested and I wll get the ball rolling in that department. On a side note...did anyone see the note about Dermoplast for v____al deliveries? I am going to talk to my doc about it because it wasn't offered at my hospital but MAN OH MAN do people swear by it!!! I think I will try it!! :)

Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday Dear Liz, Happy Birthday to You!!!!! Well, I think the nestins is really kicking in today- I got this sudden urge to steam my carpets, so I did it- moved furniture around & everything. I know my back is gonna be screaming later, but I just couldn't help it- this deranged cleaning lady took over my body, lol. I feel like a dummy for askin, but what is dermoplast? I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow- woooo hoooo!!!! Only 5 more weeks to go!!!!!!

Happy B-day Liz!..belated of course. I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with the email notification. Its not working for me anymore to let me know when you guys post messages. I resubmitted it and its still not working.

34 WEEKS TODAY!!!!! I'm soooo bored & lonely!!!! My baby boy started school today- 4th grade & my boyfriend went to work- so I'm here all by myself- wish Gianna was born, then I'd have some company. Just wishful thinking I guess, lol. I don't go back to the dr. til the 12th, hey does anyone know when they start doing internal checks?
