Well i have 7 and a half weeks to go by my due date....which probably means 9 weeks!! after this week I have 3 weeks of work. Mostly feeling fine except that im getting sciatica(sp?) where Bella is sitting on a nerve. Most likely gonna have tomorrow off work, hardly able to walk, let alone chase kids.

Bella is fine, kicking lots, really funny watching my tummy move, not so funny when she moves on my bladder. Id love to know how much she weighs, altho i know it cant be alot, im definatly feeling heavier at the front.

Steve is looking forward to her arrival as he keeps saying so now. so sweet. I really need to get on with my birth plan. Getting very lazy now.lol

Really interested to hear how everyone else is doing, what symptoms are all the recent TTC grads having etc, how are all the new arrivals and not so new arrivals?

I'll update for you!

34 weeks now. Had our child birthing class over the weekend. It was good. And I discovered that I know a lot about this baby stuff. I blame this message board.
Baby moves a LOT! It is fun to see, but sometimes it hurts when she hits an organ or something. Sleeping is really getting difficult and my feet are SO hot all the time. BUT, I am so glad this is all happening, cuz I'm so excited to meet our little baby girl.
But SO scared about labor!

AND: I do not have a due date buddy. I'd like one if someone is willing?

8 weeks 3 days today - I occasionally get nauseated - I have a lot of food aversions and cravings - but other than that I really don't feel pregnant - it makes me kinda nervous. My next appt is on the 30th - I'm hoping I'll be able to talk them into another u/s since we found out about my missed m/c in my 10th week... we'll see.

^^ with the exception of weeks hmm 8-12 when I was nauseas ALL the time, I haven't really felt too pregnant the whole time. Im not really growing or feeling anything... Everytime I go to the dr. and get to hear the doppler it is SO nice to know there's actually something IN there


My update:
Nothing really new. Still feeling great and enjoying the second trimester. I am excited beyond words for our big u.s next week so I can start shopping and decorating

Ana is now 10 weeks old , I don´t know where that time has gone!. This week has been a bit of a milestone week, she has discovered her feet, now she sits in the bath watching her feet and giggling when she moves her toes. She can also grasp things and is beginning to like her gym. If you prop her up, she strains to sit up further and is trying to turn over. she now weighs almost 11lbs (From 6lbs 3) so BF is still doing its thing. We have bought her an umbrella stroller as she hates the carrycot already, she doesnt like lying down and wants to look around.
I have still got 6lbs of baby weight to loose, and am dreading a bikini!! (at least this year I have boobs).

Today I am 6wks 5days according to my ticker and according to my docs I am 6wks 4days.

Well I just took a picture at work! I look huge!!!! In my boss's office there is a mirror and I walked by it and noticed my belly really sticking out! I took a picture of it to show you guys what I see. I also think my stomach area looks fat too, but I am hardly eating and havent gained anything so dont know why I would look fat up there. I have an u/s on Thursday so I am looking forward to that and hoping that all is going good with both babies..

Huge me!

I am 9 weeks today! The morning sickness finally hit me in week 8. It hasn't been so fun....
Other than that not much to report. Feeling pretty good but I'm sleeping alot more and trying to get a nap in the afternoon. No other symptoms at all.

[LindsLuvsSi]

Zane will be 5 months old on Sunday (Father's day) I can't believe it! My lil guy is growing so fast and time is flying even faster. I cannot believe how fast the last almost 5 months have zoomed by! Zane is doing great! He's so much fun, I love this kid sooooo much He's teething so badly, his top incisor is trying to come in, of course those are more painful than the front 2, whatever they are called, he's gona look like a lil vampire! He's trying soooo hard to crawl, he's got the position and rocking motion down, just gotta figure out to move forward instead of back. That's really all I can think of that's going on here.

[Gray_baby]

I'm doing pretty well - 16 weeks, 3 days. My next appt is this Wednesday at 2:40 and afterwards I'll be able to schedule my big u/s!!!! I'm so excited, I'm really hoping I can get an appt for my u/s within the next few weeks, I don't want to wait too long.

I had to buy more maternity pants last week because I officially don't fit my pre-pregnancy pants anymore and I finally bought some maternity shirts. I've definitely noticed more rounding of my stomach in the last week and my stomach has been itchy - it's making me crazy!

I finally started my registries and my mom is planning my baby shower for the first weekend in August - my SIL is going to drive up to NC with me and that's the only time she could do it since she's going back to school this fall. I feel weird having my shower so early but I don't want to drive 10 hours alone so Aug. 1st it is.

[~Andrea~]

36 weeks over here! I can't believe this pregnancy is almost over. I am still feeling great...mostly comfortable and excited to meet our baby girl! This weekend I am hoping to finish the nursery and get it all ready for baby!

[Jodi0804]

15 weeks 6 days now. Feeling good, still needing to nap most days but I'm officially done with teaching for the summer so that should help. I have my 16 week appt on Wed so that will be nice. Otherwise I'm getting anxious to find out if I'm on team pink or blue. Hoping that gets scheduled this week!

[courtneytcu98]

Elliott is 4 months and 2 weeks tomorrow! I can't believe how fast it's gone and that the half-year mark is just around the corner. Elliott has finally transitioned to sleeping outside th Miracle Blanket and is a rolling machine. He is teething like mad, he can't keep his hands out of his mouth but no teeth popped through yet.

[SassyMama]

Siera will be 4 months () on the 25th and, as of the 8th, she's 9 lbs, 7 oz and 21 inches! She got her first vaccination as well.

She loves standing on her feet - it's so cute because she can't fully stand up straight so she leans forward and her butt sticks out and she wiggles it back and forth She loves sticking her hands in her mouth and she's making all of these adorable baby coos. She's smiling at me all the time now (especially in the morning when she first wakes up) and she gives me a giggle here and there. She rolled over once (side to belly) but she hasn't done it since. She tries to roll over head first, though, and usually just ends up face-down in the mattress or playmat. (I supervise, of course.) I'm loving this time with her. Her little personality shows more and more with each passing day.

[Lyz]

I'm 20 weeks!! Half way there! It's so surreal! I'm feeling good. My belly is really rounding out and not as low as it has been. I'm starting to feel movement more and more so I'm excited to feel that first swift kick

I have another u/s on July 6th and my next dr. appt is July 2nd. I wish they were more spaced apart! It would make waiting the 4 weeks in between visits that much easier

[KCMomma]

Things are going pretty well for us so far except nighttime! Had a follow up doc appoinment yesterday when she was 5 days old! They weighed her and said she is almost back to her birth weight!!! Yeah for my boobies doing a great job!!!! She weighed 7lbs at birth and as of yesterday was up to 6 lbs 15 oz!!! She still has great color and is at a very low risk for jaundice so I'm super happy about that. The only problem we are having is nighttime. I think she has a ton of gas and is up almost all night crying. We are working on it though. I love looking at her and having our BFing times together! I'm already so in love!!!

[..Christine..]

15 weeks 2 days- feeling pretty good! Finally starting to get a tiny bump that others can feel! I love wearing maternity jeans or capris now! They are just more comfortable!

[samspain]

Gwen, if she has lots of gas, try bathing her in a bucket, our paediatritian recommended it and it really works! 5 minutes in the water and its like a jacuzzi! (I´m not responsible for any poo incidents that the relaxation may cause!)

[MrsMamaS]

Connor is nine weeks and two days as of today.

He's doing really well. We're still working on gas issues too, but the frequency of his spells of gassiness seems to be decreasing. Nighttime is getting better, but is not anywhere near perfected yet. Last week, Connor slept 7 1/4 hours in a row Thursday night and then 7 1/2 hours in a row Friday night. Saturday, Sunday and last night did not go so well. Saturday, he made it 5 hours, Sunday 4 1/2, and last night, he was up twice like he used to be. I'm hoping, with all fingers crossed, that he's not reverting already.

Connor's really turning out to be a Mommy's boy, and I love it. He definitely knows Mommy by sight, the sound of my voice, and by my smell! He's always got lots of smiles and coos for me, and now, when his tummy hurts, or he's upset, he wants Mommy. I have to admit it, I LOVE IT when he's unhappy with anyone else but Mommy!! Not that I don't love MIL or my Mom, but he's my little boy and should love me best!

[ChristinaR]

I'm 15 weeks 4 days now. I can't believe how much the second trimester flies by compared to the first. I'm feeling really good except for at night. I'm having a hard time staying asleep but other than that I'm dong really good. My next appt is July 6th and that's when I get my big u/s so I can't wait for that.

[::MummyToTwo::]

Summer is 9 months and 1 week old! I can't believe it!! she is crawling super fast now, pulls up onto everything and stands alone for a good minute or so.

here are some pics I took yesterday







--- her head is red in the second one because she fell off her bike!
