November 2013 Babies!

West Covina is LA County, I grew up in that area. I think some smaller cities still have them because it generates revenue for the city.
 
Oh, well makes sense but still...I'm a broke nurse with debts to loans lol
 
Thanks ladies! I'm trying to stay in a little bit of shape.

Mama: you bump is so great and I totally agree, I want to rub it!!

Alchemist: that totally sucks! I would be so pissed and $500, holy crap! I got my tat last July and have had two sessions. It's not finished but going to Croatia and having a baby puts things on hold for a while. I have three others and have plans to makes this one much bigger. It's in a style of an old school etching. I have California poppies in the front around my collar bone to signify my wedding and BC we lived there for about 2 years. Theres a bee for my father (he's keeps bees as a hobby) and roses on my back for my grandmother. I don't have a super good picture but here's one my friend took.

Alchemist: what kind of nursing do you do?!? I'm one as well. That is why we moved to Cali (travel job). We decided to move home to KY because its too expensive to live there even though the pay is AMAZING!

I was an ICU nurse for about 5 years and now I'm a nurse coordinator for two neuromuscular neurologists here and run the ALS clinic. I will NEVER go back to bedside:)
 
Want - wow awesome tats you got. I gotta do some thinking, what I want to represent my dd, my ds, and family. As for what nursing I'm doing, I'm in hospice right now, doing visitations and some continued care (12hr shift). Before I chose hospice because of its convenience to pregnancy, I was working at the hospital on stroke unit but I couldn't handle heavy patients being pregnant. Wasn't easy doing hospice at first, too many deaths. But I've gotten used to it. The only thing I hate about it is the narrative paperwork. I was used to computerized system from the hospital. And yes, great pay in CA but everything else is also High here unfortunately.
 
I thought about hospice care. I really enjoy being able to be a part of a persons life when sometimes there is no one else. We had to do a lot of that in the ICU but I can see how day in and day out it would be emotionally difficult.
 
luna: beautiful 22 week bump! I love seeing the pictures and can't wait for all of us to post pictures of us holding our little ones!
 
I feel the need to point out that my last two bump pics I was wearing my pjs, I don't wear them all day I was just wearing a dress both days so took my pic before I got dressed :haha:
 
Want2b and mamaluv -- super cute bumps! You guys are all belly and stayed tiny everywhere else. So lucky!
 
Luna you have a nice bump. Don't worry, I had on my pj's too, well at least my lounge clothes. Dalia, I'm only halfway through the pregnancy, I think I will gain a lot of weight, especially eating all of this junk I have been eating. Right now I'm craving a cinnamon roll :)
 
bathing suit bumps.....LOOK AT THAT BELLY BUTTON! OH no...I give it 2 weeks and it will be a full outtie!

That's funny, I was in the store and this girl was looking at my belly and asked when did my belly button pop out. Lol, it hasn't popped out yet, she was looking at my belly ring and thought it was my belly button. She was 7 months pregnant and said hers popped out at 5 months. I figured if it will happen, it will be between the 5th and 7th month. Mine didn't pop out with my son.
 
Everyone's bumps are fantastic. Such cute ladies in here.

Luna. I don't think anyone would fault you for wearing pajamas in the day anyhow. They're comfy and don't press on the belly. That is all I am in while at home. My stomach has been super sensitive though. Sore to the touch and always feeling super full and stretching. I don't know how you ladies are with your bellies.

Alchemist. That sucks that you got caught on probably one of the only cameras still up. San Diego County has ours down and covered. Thank goodness, or else I would have gotten a ticket for running a red light when I had stopped at it and went when the turn lane turned green. Stupid mistake and I bet everyone was like, "So she stopped, but then randomly decided to run the light?" I was lucky no one was turning from their green or else that would have been bad.

OH and I went to Babies R Us intending to pay off my mom's layaway and we noticed they were having a huge bedding sale. We got a 9 piece jungle themed crib bedding set, the matching wall canvas photos, the lamp, the mobile, and the crib stuffed animal all for under $130.:thumbup: The layaway had my pack and play, bibs, and lots of bath stuff. We also decided on the crib/ changer set, the stroller, the bouncer, and high chair, but he decided to make me wait a couple weeks to buy more because I've gone a little crazy. :blush: I already have all the clothes. My MIL said I have to stop because I'm leaving her and my mom nothing to buy. :dohh: I guess I'm nesting. I just feel there isn't a lot of time to get ready, if that makes sense.
 
My belly button ring makes mine look like it has popped through my shirt too :haha:
 
Whittnie - I hated those cameras and totally agree that it causes more accidents than it does good because people panic.

Mama - damn those cravings, right? I was craving for some grilled corn today with butter and spices and parmesan cheese slathered all over it. Sexy mess of a food.

So here's my Sunday bump pic. Just relaxed all day. OH said I look bigger than last week.

Cute bump Alchemist. You are all bump too.

Whitt, I didn't know Babies R Us had layaway. That sure is good to know. Can you put clearance items on layaway too? Now for the stomach stretching and soreness, I feel stretching when I walk a lot. Like today I was in the mall for hours and I felt some stretching and a side cramp that I would usually get when I jogged. I got kind of nervous since I'm a worry wart.

Luna, my Doc told me to take out the belly ring soon before it gets stuck :(
 
Rockin you are looking cute girl. Speaking of tank tops, if you are near a JCPennys, they had them on sale today for $4, they are not maternity so I just got a size bigger.

Are you kidding me?!?!? You are adorable! You have a great bump and should be proud of your bod! I love your hair by the way...it's so long and pretty. I look shitty in long hair and always envy people that have nice long hair:)
 
Whit: my abdomen is tender too. Almost like I've done sit ups but lower. It's like I can feel every muscle stretching especially when I wake up in the middle
Of the night to pee. I have to hold my gut because it feels so heavy and uncomfortable.... The rest of the day it's not heavy or anything... Just tender. I can't even stand for my undies to touch. That's why I like dresses;)
