just generally. car seat manufacturers and docs tend to say not to leave them in for more than about two hours as it isn't good for their backs.

 

[LogansMama]

yea - I did hear that. I just never heard it till I had already been letting baby hang in his seat for extended periods - so I never really worried about it.

I have been able to sleep halfway on my tummy and would sometimes wake up fully on my stomach with no pain or anything...last night I rolled over and my stomach hurt Guess I am going to have to try to be more careful...but that is my favorite sleeping position.

Hi all, my due date is May 29th and I'm expecting my first.

 

[LogansMama]

Hi ladies. Its been hard to keep up in here lately! I've been busy at home, so when I come on its usually pretty quick.

Illusion - Welcome.

Babyhope - I can't sleep on my tummy anymore either. Its annoying that I can't cause thats my favorite position. Although I did manage to a lot longer this time than last time. I think I was just less paranoid though this time... cause I certainly GREW
FASTER this time.

So now I sleep on my sides and my hips are KILLING me lately! Its the worst at night when I'm trying to sleep. I plan on making an appt at the chiropractor for next week sometime. Hopefully they will be able to help me feel better a bit. I'm also hoping the adjustments might help me have a better shot at my VBAC (keeping baby in the optimal postion and my pelvic bones aligned right to let baby fit through). I plan on going every couple weeks starting now until the end...

CAN'T believe I'm 24 weeks! WOW. 16 weeks left to go!

IllusionThral - welcome

We have a lot of snow in here. I went to dig out my mothers car today. It has been standing over 2 weeks and was completely covered with snow. I guess I shouldn't have done that but it was such a good practise. I keep forgeting I'm pregnant. It's same when running. I have to remind myself all the time that I have to jog not run.

How did you announce at work? I have to tell my boss on Monday and I just don't know how I'm going to tell him. Just a thought of that makes me feel like a little girl who has to go to principals office

 

[LogansMama]

MArta - Just say - "I have some great news..." and then TELL him! Don't stress it!

I am sooo hungry!!! Lately I have been having the hungry feeling all day but nothing tastes that good It is so horrible to be hungry but have nothing good too eat! I use to love pizza before I got pregnant now I hate all the pizza places in my home town, they all taste gross! The only thing I still like to eat is sweets....this baby has given me a sweet tooth....I could finish off a whole plate of brownies in a couple of days

I recently got a body pregnancy pillow that really helps with the hip pain etc also help prevent you rolling over on your belly

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is well! Seems like a lot of you in the UK are getting slammed by snow!

So I finally got my phone call today from Hubby along with some awesome news! When I go into labor, instead of getting to come home for 10 days, they will be sending him home for good instead of him coming back in July/August.

Apparently he got quite the telling off for coming in the first place by the guy in charge over in Iraq (they never told him he could turn it down though while he was still here) as I'm high risk.

And I got to chat with him on Facebook for a little bit this morning I am a happy woman today

Well sleep has become uncomfortable. My favorite position on my tummy is hurting now, so when I lay on my side I wake up with my shoulder hurting. I tossed and turned all night.

I start work and school again tomorrow...BOO!!! I really was enjoying vacation, but I think by having something to do all day will keep my eating in check because seriously I have turned into a little piggy. I feel hungry a lot now and constantly wanting to snack. I went to bed last night thinking about how I couldn't wait to wake up in the morning to eat some sweet bread

I just noticed my ticker moved up a box
