pregnancy & text buddy- aug 2010

[QueSeraSera]

oh my gosh. im so sorry that you are having trouble with your OH, or FOB, right now. i have gone through that a few times with DH and it is never any fun. once it was about another girl, once it was about TTC, once about money...whatever its about its consistently not fun. and even worse, id imagine, when pregnant and hormonal. i understand not wanting to talk about it, as im not very good at that either. but i always found when i did talk to someone that it made me feel better. so, if you decide you need to talk to someone who can probably relate, im always here to listen and offer any support. if not, i understand. the most important thing is that you try to take it easy and rest and make sure your baby stays safe. try to unwind and keep from being to stressed...i know, easier said than done. but i can tell you that a lot of times these things end up working out in the end. like i said, ive been through this a few times with DH and it always ended up working out.

yea i know that they have a lot to do at the ultrasound and im sure that dylan would just be totally distracting to both me, DH, and the doctor. im kind of not looking forward to laying there so long with a full bladder! but im sure ti will be worth it to see my little mango on the screen yea, my stepson is apparently just like his dad about wanting a boy. i talked to my nephew this weekend too and he wants it to be a boy as well. haha...all the girls in my family want it to be a girl, and all the boys want it to be a boy. they are too funny. i told my stepson that there were too many boys in the house and i need a girl to keep me company and he repliad "there are NOT too many boys! there are never too many boys!" haha...silly me. he put me in my place on that one!

yea you really are moving along anf getting so close. i cant believe youre almost viable and everything. that will be another one of those big reliefs when you reach that. and then after that youll be in the busy summer and time will fly by. your baby will be here in no time! just be sure to keep resting and keep baby's little home a safe place for him/her.

It is really hard every time i mention it or even think about it im in tears.. Its mainly that i just found out FOB had been texting for 2.5 years to this chick who i thought was totally mental but he had been texting her telling her he wanted to f*ck her and all of that and having phone sex with her and im not really sure that he didnt have real sex with her and all that and everytime i think ofthe betrayal that he has done and everytime i think about it it is so hard and i've never ever disliked some one before this much but i mean i really really dis-like him right now and cant even stand to hear his voice or even think about him he promises he never had sex with her but i cant believe that.. this chick was the one that he was with right b4 we got together.. its just so horrid and ive been so stressed out. crying my self to sleep and even waking up crying its no use anything i do i cant stop thinking about it. and he is acting like he didnt do me wrong either.

Haha awe your step son seems really cute lol seems like he really wants a baby brother.. Which if you have more kids that he will adventually have a little brother i take it lol. Well he will just have to be the protective other brother i suppose he will like that haha...

Yep soon it will be nice and summer out and then it will be all good and time will fly by i cant wait for summer to finally be here ive been waiting for it for so long but i also dont want to be that uncomfortable.. But yay.. than ill get to meet baby

 

[QueSeraSera]

oh my gosh i am so sorry that youre going throught this. i had a similar things with DH where i found chats with this girl from his past that occured about a month before we got married when i was living in texas and he was in hawaii. i found the convos after we had been married about six months though and he was telling her he was in love with her and they were making pans for her to come visit him because he wanted to take her on a date to see what would happen, if they could make it work. obviously when i found them i was completely heartbroken. at the time i was spending all my time and money planning a beautiful wedding for us, he was telling some other girl he loved her. and he was talking to her when i found out too, but i never really thought much of it because i didnt know their history or about the chats. so i confronted him, it was really bad and he kind of blamed me for snooping into his things. he promised she didnt come visit, but obviously didnt have any proof. and he was angry when i asked him to stop texting her. he said i was being unfair and inresonable and that he hadnt ever done anything wrong for me to be mistrustful. it was a bad 3-4 months where neither of us liked each other very much, but eventually i felt i had to at least believe that she didnt come out and he didnt act on anything. and he was not talking to her anymore either. and we got through it. but i still get angry sometimes, and i dont really fully trust him. and still everytime he gets a text i wonder if its her. i know what youre going through...second guessing everything youve ever known about him and weighing the options of trying to forgive and forget over packing your bags. its really hard. this happened to me with an ex boyfriend after about 3 years of dating and i left because he had actually slept with another girl. with my DH i stayed because, except for the i love yous, i convinced myself it wasnt as bad and there was no actual sex. the decision is hard, and moreso being pregnant. but i hope that you can come to a decision that is best for you. no matter what he is saying right now, the decision has to be whats best for you. im really sorry, and please let me know if i can help at all.

yea we are planning on having 3 or 4 kids, so at least one of them will be a boy im sure. but he is pretty set on a baby brother. he said that he was going to be batman and the baby could be robin and that he would teach the baby all about being a superhero. hehe....ahhh 3 year olds...

i cant wait for summer because of all the plans coming up, but i am so dreading the heat. i told my mom that when i come to visit i am finding a swimmingsuit big enough to cover my bump and we are going swimming every day to keep cool in las vegas. she said they were putting in water misters in the backyard for me too to keep me cool. hehe...theyre too funny. all the planning is like "i thought we could do such and such...if youre feeling up to it" and "oh we could do this...unless youre not up to it" theyre so concerned about me being big and pregnant doing everything. i told them this baby isnt gonna slow me down...i have every intention of going to shows and gambling and having fun! lol. i dont care if people look at me weird for being in casinos when im pregnant, its my vacation!

 

[dizzy65]

ah thats horribal.. i really hate how men can do this sort of thing and feel absolutly nothing for there actions its really unfair.. i feel the same when ever OH gets a text im always wondering if he is texting her still but i had to remind my self that he has changed his number and doesnt have her cell number on there so theres no possibal way that she could be the one texting im still really devestated thou that he just came clean about it.. i never ever saw what he texted because he always always deleted the out going texts i only saw what she wrote and it was pretty vial i mean i convinced my self she was just crazy and OH was not texting her back or anything like that but i asked him about it and asked and asked and he always said that she was texting and he was saying one word.. but he lied its like our whole relationship has been a lie for the past like 4 years its all been based around lies any way.. i feel so betrayed so hurt so heart broken all in one. And im pretty sure he said the i love you's to her too because i always read on that she was telling OH she loved him and missed him and crap like that. oh god it makes me so friggen angry what an ass whole. I want to get over it for bubs sake but its so hard you know? and ithink ill be like you the trust will never full be back at all.. And when i was asking questions to OH about what the texts said i asked if he ever asked her to fuck him and he said yes but i was just playing with her head. at this point this is when i just lost it.. and now thanks tothis whole mess i have very high blood pressure and have to be maybe put on blood pressure pills because i cant seem to get my mind off of what OH did and its so stress full.. i know you would understand what i mean about that.. its just so hard to not think about what he did and i so want to be happy with him again its just gojng to take a long time to heal i know this.. but ive made some progress i havent called him names in a while

awe that is so cute.. haha.. he can still play super heroes with a girl exept instead of batman and robin it could be batman and cat women or something like that haha.. awe so cute

Ah i know what you mean if it were my vacation id be like this baby is not slowing me down at all lets go party and all of that fun stuff ive never been to Las vegas.. me and OH were going go on his 21st bday if we can get a baby sitter.. we are going on his 21st and not mine because im 26 days older than OH so if we went on my bday he couldnt do any of the fun stuff we are hoping to get out of here any way for a vacation.. i think this summer before baby comes we have lots of stuff planned. we are going to his comany camp over and stuff ah thats goina suck big time

Last night OH did the sweetest thing i think he has done in such a long time he text me and said "if you dont mind can you send me a picture of you and your tummy to use as my backround on my cell phone?" i was like "aww" haha so i took a pic and gave it to him and now he has it as his backround

 

[QueSeraSera]

i could see how your situation is even more difficult because you never saw what he wrote to her and are just having to take his word for it. i guess you have to give him credit for coming clean about it, it means that he feels bad and wants to start with a clean slae with you. if youre anything like me it will take a long time to get back any sort of trust towards him, but if you can begin to trust him again then thats a good first start. and it seems like he wants to make it work, asking you for a picture of your belly and everything. he just needs to realize what he did was wrong, even if he just thinks he was "messing with her head" or something...thats not something an engaged person does. hopefully it has all stopped and you guys can rebuild your relationship, and once again have a srong foundation for your baby kepp trying to relax and take care of yourself, your body, and the baby. even if you have to go on medicine, its whats best to keep the baby and you healthy. and im sure that as time goes by and this isnt suck a fresh shock that it will go down and the stress will get less and less. i realy hope you start feeling better soon!

haha...yea it will have to be batman and catwoman now. were wondering how he is gonna take the news that hes not having a little brother, that its a little sister. the ultrasound got moved up to yesterday on account of a tech being out in the mornings the rest of the week. it was so exciting! when we got there she was sleeping and curled up into a little ball, it was so cute. so me, DH and the nurse were all poking and shaking my belly to get her to wake up, uncurl and move around. she was not having anyof it. each time we would shake she would take her little fist and punch out at my tummy. apparently she takes after me about not liking to be woken up. and then she started sucking her thumb. it was adorable. finally she woke up and was stretching and moving and kicking, and then it was like she was worn out and she put her little hand to her forehead like she was just exhausted. ahhh...i can tell she is gonna have quite the personality...be spunky and a little drama queen. i think we are in for trouble! lol. it was so amazing and there was a screen over us to see the whole time. and because she wasnt being ver cooperative the exam last 1hr20min. it was amazing. DH is freaked out that its a girl. he asked the tech if i ate more beef could it turn into a boy. lol. he is too silly. my parents are so excited and my mom said she was going out today to buy some little girl clothes

that will be awesome if you go to vegas for yalls 21st. thats where i spent my 21st bday and it was so much fun. i love vegas and have been going there 2-3 times a year since i was like 8. but it is so much better once you can legally drink and gamble! that would be a nice getaway for you and your OH if you can do that once the baby comes

 

[dizzy65]

Yesterday when OH got home i was so mad at him even still but than he got to where i was (i was relaxing out side planning with my kitten) and we talked than i walked over to him and gave him a big hug and we talked and strained up some stuff we both agreed the trust needs to be earned back but that we love each other to much to let split up so we are making it work for the babies sake and for our sake. we decided we dont want to ever talk about her again as to not raise the blood pressure again.. Yes thats right blood pressure back to my normal 110 over 70. ah so great i am so unbelievably happy haha.. OH said he thinks the key to low blood presure is lots and lots of sex (thats what we did last night haha!) and he said it seemed to make my blood pressure go down i told him im crazy and that all its going to do is make sure when he goes back to work he is not grumpy. he was put on some kind of thing that was for his attitude because when he was at work he was so grumpy he was making others around him grumpy which isnt aloud. ah silly boy! so he was put on a preformance thing.. He will be back to his happy self thou when he gets back to work. I think that chick owes me a really huge appology that ill never see for almost putting me in the hospital due to my blood pressure thou! err!!!

OMG congrats.. haha your poor DH was so convinced it was going to be a boy.. awe yay for you .. that must be so exciting i seen on facebook your ultra-sound pictures and i have to say they are absolutly adorable! She is defantly going to be a little handful by the sounds of it and you`ll have tons of fun with your little bundle of joy so did you guys get to go out and buy a little pink out fit.. that would be the first thing to do i am so happy for you hehe.. it sounds like you guys had a great time at your appointment getting to watch the LO there for over and hour very lucky haha i always thought my times were to short because i lovedseeing my prince or princess up there Your poor DH now has the roll of playing the very protective daddy haha thats going to be fun for him!

Thats for sure i hope we can get to las vegas it will be totally fun we are trying to get OH`s dad to pay for it for us or take us so we dont have to spend all of that money to get there and stuff haha.

ooh congrats on hitting the 20 week mark yay half way you must be so excited.. has DH been able to feel the kicks yet

 

[QueSeraSera]

thats really awesome that you guys were able to work it out and agree that you need to work at staying together. and im glad that your blood pressure has returned to normal! that must have been so stressful, but its good that its back to normal cause the baby needs you to keep yourself healthy! one great thing about fights is that it always comes with great makeup sex and it seems like you guys have that one covered! lol. so glad its all back to good for you guys!

oh the appointment was amazing! and she was sure putting on a show for us! because it went so long and we went at last minutes notice they gave us seven pictures! i love them and they all turned out so well i think DH is getting more used to the idea that it is a girl now but at first he was in such a shock. now weve been trying to come up with a name. he decided he didnt like raena so much, so were trying to figure out something else. its hard because we have very different tastes in names. lol

that would be awesome if you could get DHs dad to send you to vegas! that way you could save all your money for having a good time once youre there! theres so much to do and its easy to spend a lot of money there, thats for sure. but its soooo fun

thank you, im very excited about being halfway done! it really has gone so fast, and i cant wait for the next 20 to speed by so i can finally meet my baby girl!

 

[dizzy65]

haha we for surely did.. thats the only good thing about fights i guess is getting to make up after ward ... It was funny he was like "i think we should just have lots of sex for now on than you will stay at a low blood pressure" i was just like "pfft you wish" haha.. I was so relieved when she told me my blood pressure was back to normal as well.. she did blood tests the other day and i asked what they were for and she said to make sure that i didnt have any pregnancy related high blood pressure issues that needed to be resolved right away.. but she said she thinks it was just stress and that she will call me if other wise so thats all good

Your Dh when he found out it was a girl was probably "ahh oh no now what!" haha but he will be the proudest daddy ever.. it is going to be hard to come up with the perfect name but you two will do it and it will suit her just right You are so lucky to have gotten so many photos i really wish that we could have gotten more i really miss seeing my baby i still wish i could get more photos like go in and request a nother ultra-sound just for more pics haha that wouldnt go over very well thou.. you must miss seeing you LO as well

Ah yah no doubt.. hopefully the next little bit goes by fast for both of us.. feels great to be over the half way mark thou doesnt it

Oh my gosh.. We just found out that OH's little brother has been going threw every ones rooms (when he was down here) and stealing everyones porno magazines and he went threw our room and cut the girls out of OH's truck magazines lol and we were going threw our boxes that we had left in his room up at his moms and found that he was hiding his porno's in our boxes.. haha.. very weird

 

[QueSeraSera]

haha...so funny that your OH thinks sex is the key to keeping your bp down! that is such a guy thing to think! im really glad that it is down though and your stress levels have gone down as well. things like that are difficult, but it seems you got through it like a champ!

haha...my DH asked the nurse if it would turn into a boy if he fed me more beef. lol. it was funny. he was so shocked. and now hes so concerned about everything. yesterday we went to look for me some maternity shorts and we had to go through the lengerie department and he got all depressed looking. so i asked "depressed cause i cant fit into and look good in my cutsie lengerie anymore?" and he replied, "no...just upset that one day our little girl is gonna want to wear this stuff" lol. hes too funny about it. the name thing is turning out to be really hard! but luckily we still have quite a bit of time before we have to make a final decision about it! lol. there are a lot that we both think "yea...i like that" but were searching for one that we both love...tough search! i do miss my LO and wish i could have an ultrasound weekly! but i know its best to just keep looking at my pictures and wait until she finally comes out and greets the world in september

this weekend was sooooo crazy! friday night i had to finish up all the edits on my thesis and send it for printing! woohoo! finally officially done as now its out for print and i cant do anything more to it. and then saturday am we went to the march of dimes walk as a family. we had to be up at 630 to make it in time and walked 5 miles. then we came home, showered and changed, and went to a music festival from 230pm to 10pm. it was such a long day and my body hurt so bad then and yesterday...its weird cause before i was pregnant i could handle long days like that no problem. and then yesterday we had a ton of errands to run and i was moving so slow and achey all day. and its only gonna get worse as i get bigger! eeek!

thats crazy about OHs little brother. somehow i thought he was really young, like 5 or 6. and hes stealing porn already!? that is just out of control! lol. i love that he hid it all in your boxes too. what a sneaky little guy! not a very good hiding spot though, as you all totally caught him! lol

 

[dizzy65]

Haha i know thats what i thought, ahh such a guy thing to think that sex is keeping my dp down.. but am super happy it is staying down.. had a prenatial appointment today and blood pressure was good all blood tests came out well and babies heart beat was perfect as he said haha and the babies size he said was perfect.. he told me sounds like i have had a perfect pregnancy thus far exept for that little bit of high bp.. have another one in 4 weeks. at the end of may when im 27 weeks, eek lol. ill be in third tri by then

haha omg too funny him asking about feeding it more beef haha i could so picture my OH saying that.. ahh to cute haha.Ah he shouldnt be thinking about your little girl in linger yet it will be a very long time before she will start to wear stuff like that lol than your DH will be used to it by then well used to having a daughter so it wont seem all so bad.. i am sure he is going to be a very protective daddy over his gurl lol which is good hehe. I know what you mean i wish i could see my LO all the time too i miss my LO so much but i am so happy it kicks all the time now so i have a constant reminder bubs is doin just fine OH and i went into a movie last night and baby was kicking away and i looked at my tummy and was like "shh little one its bed time now" haha OH looked at me like id gone mad.

Wholy it sounds like you had a really busy weekend! its time to put your feet up and relax lol i know i wouldnt be able to handle that much it seems like so much to do whilet pregnant. i know what u mean before i was pregnant i could go for hours and hours on end with out rest and used to long days.. and now im pooped out and am so tired if i do stuff like that.. like yesterday OH and i spent the whole day shopping (cause it was our anniversary) than we went to a movie at 9:55PM so we didnt get home tell like 12:30 midnight so by time we got home i ws pretty much dead to the world i was so tired i wasnt even thinking strait lol and b4 i got pregnant it never used to be like that

OH has 3 brothers well 4 technically i guess. one is 18 one is 15 his step bro is 10 and his half bro is 3... It was his 15 year old bro that was stealing the porn and such.. we found another magazine on boobs in his room lol i was looking at it and was like wow they could have picked prettier women to model in these magazines lol.. OH's little brother even cut out girlie pics out of OH's truck magazines of girls that wernt even naked just half naked, like with g-strings showing there bums and such like that. how annoying haha

 

[QueSeraSera]

thats really good that everything went well at the doctors. hopefully everything is back to perfect now and you wont have any more problems for the rest of the pregnancy! i need to make my next appointment. i am supposed to go in at 24 weeks. that will be exciting...viability it seems like were getting so close to the end so much faster these days! hooray!

DH is getting much more used to the idea of the baby being a girl. i think we was in a good amount of shock there for awhile. but i know hes gonna be so protective it wont even be funny. when he brought up the lengerie i told him to stop thinking about that, that well have to deal with the first boyfriend long before we have to deal with lengerie. lol. that didnt make him feel too much better really

sounds like you guys had a great anniversary, but i can understand why you would be so tired! i was exhausted after our weekend! and then on tuesday night we decided to buy bicycles because weve been trying to be healthier and do outdoor, healthy activities. so we have gone on a couple of few mile rides and usually by the end im pretty winded as well, where before something like that wouldnt have phased me. its funny cause when i peddle my thighs hit my baby bump. i just know shes in there thinking "what the heck are you doing mom!?" lol

thats crazy about the 15 year old. he is really into the porn eh? i think thats was what i was worried about most if the baby was a boy. i really dont want to face the day when i go in to clean up my baby boys room and find porn hidden. you just dont want to think that about your kids! lol.

youre 23 weeks! i cant believe youre so close to viability. only 6 more days! how big is the baby this week? i bet it is getting so huge. awww thats cool. you must be excited to be so close to getting out of second tri!

 

[dizzy65]

The doctor called me in yesterday, to tell me that i was slight amenic (sp) which means that my white blood cell count was down and my iron was really down so now im on a bunch of pills including a new Pregnancy vitamin called Preg vit.. and some iron pills i havent tried those yet they look weird they are green haha.. im going to take my iron pill at lunh time.. and in 2 weeks i have to go back to the hospital here and get more bloods done, to check my iron level and stuff. and i had another blood test yesterday i think it was the gestic diabeties one where i had to drink this stuff, it was funny at first when i was drinking it i was like "mm tastes like a popsical" than after near to the end "i was like eww, blah how could you make us drink this shit" haha. it started to burn after a while.. it was just basically a glass of water and sugar.. but it was orange flavored. any way i have to do that test again in 2 weeks because i did it to early this time, so they are doing it twice.. the doctor here said she needed me to do it earlier and im not really sure why.. but you have to drink this orange crap than sit for an hour then you get bloods taken.. i was sitting in the waiting room for that hour listening to the old people complain and bitch it was funny lol.. thats why i wasnt on here yesterday, was running in and out of hospitals lol ooh and my next prenatial appointment is when im 27 weeks

thats good that he is starting to get used to the idea he has 3.5 months to get used to the idea of having a girl any way haha.. once he sees her he will be totally in love with her.. it will be great haha thats funny about the boyfriend thing i probably would of said the same thing.. your Dh probably hadnt even thought about the first boyfriend now hes probably panicing. i really want to know the sex but we arent finding out this is torture haha oh well only 16.5 weeks tell we will know

It was a good day for our anniversary.. OH got me a stroller for our anniversary i was so happy , the stroller is so amazing and perfect.. it has everything.. we are going to have to get a snuggie for a while thou because the stroller isnt ment for new borns, which i can understand It is crazy how fast one can get tired now.. I didnt think it would ever be like this.. i mean like one day of shopping and by the end all i want to do is go home and crawl up in bed and put my feet up, ah i am so lame lol

Haha i know.. its not like porn or anything is a bad thing, but it is when you start stealing it from other people i mean seriously lol. OH told his mom about his bro doing this and some how got turned around on him and his mom blammed him for everything.. it was basically she asked if he had porn and he said yes than she said that he shouldnt be looking at it cause he has a fiancee than she said porn shouldnt even be made lol. and OH's little bro didnt get in trouble at all.. weird lol

thanks i am so excited just about viable it is so amazing to be this far baby is about the size of a large mango this week,, eek its getting so big so scarey haha.. and now i can see movements on my belly just small ones but none the less theyare there

Congrats to you for hitting 21 weeks baby must be getting big now has your DH felt the little one kicking yet?

 

[QueSeraSera]

oh i totally had to take that diabetes test at like 8 weeks. apparently though that was a mistake and youre not supposed to take it until like 28 weeks. so im going to have to take it again as well. that drink was so hard to get down, i felt like throwing up for most of it. and that was early on too when i was feeling nauseated and everything...which made it worse. i wonder why they made you take it early too. i guess were the unlucky ones that have to go through it twice. thats crazy that youre anemic, but good that they caught it and are putting you on iron pills. anemia can make you really tired and worn out all the time, so maybe once you start taking the iron youll have more energy. plus its better for the baby. the little one needs all of the iron to become big and strong. sounds like you had a really busy day at the doctors though. hopefully you wont have anymore issues anytime soon.

i bet that it is really hard not to know if your baby is a boy of a girl. i really think youre so much stronger than me, i couldnt wait. but it will be such a great surprise for you when you find out. and plus its not that far off now...only 16 more weeks. youre getting so close and time is flying by!

thats so cool that you got the stroller! thats a great present for sure. we havent stated buying anything like that yet as were waiting until after the baby shower to see what we need still. but i cant wait to start buying that stuff...i bet its so exciting and that it makes it all so much more real.

thats crazy that or OHs brother didnt get in trouble about the porn but your OH did. i dont have anything against porn, but i bet it does catch a mother off guard when she finds her son with it. i know im gonna be the type to always think of my baby as my little girl, and when things come up that are signs of her growing up (like porn is for boys) im sure ill kinda freak out too.

that is so amazing that the kicks are getting so big that you can actually see them. my little princess is kicking a lot lately but still nothing huge like that. i can feel them getting stronger everyday though, so im sure its only a matter of time. DH still cant feel the kicks from the outside or anything yet. just not big enough. my best friend is getting impatient about it because she moves away the end of this month. she keeps saying "she better be kicking so hard i can feel it by the time i leave!" lol. i think the baby is just playing with everyone and holding out and making everyone wait.

thanks! im excited about 21 weeks. the baby is the length of a carrot this week. and its offically the downhill side of this pregnancy too. a week over half way. and three from viability. and youre only a few days from viability now! i cant believe how far weve come.

 

[dizzy65]

Ah the drink was so annoying,, she like handed it to me and was like here drink this, i was like im aloud to go to the bathroom right? lol cause we had to wait an hour.. at first i was like mm tastes like orange popsicle than after a while i was like eww blah this is torture.. and now i have to do it again and i really dont want to lol.. My doctor here said that in 2 weeks ill have to do another blood test just to see if my iron and white blood cells count is back up to normal.. im praying it is.. my advice would to eat anything you can that has iron in it so you dont have to take iron pills.. But the pills im taking for iron do taste better than my prenatial vitamens for sure haha. When the doctor was explaining why i was low on iron she was saying the baby was stealing from my liver an stuff like that i was like "hmm how rude im providing a home for my LO and its stealing from me!" haha... So in a couple weeks i will have two more doctor visits.. i am starting to become a regular around the doctors offices haha.

I know i hope the baby comes at like 38 weeks or something because that means that it would only be 14 weeks away haha.. Ahh i just made my self nervous haha it seems to be just flying by now!

Oh right you guys are having a baby shower in may that is so exciting... it will be best to wait tell after that to get what ever is left that you need. You must be so excited hehe. I love buying stuff for LO is it so fun

We think he didnt get in trouble because his mom doesnt want him moving down to his dads. because OH's brother has been getting in to all kinds of trouble and never punished lke the other night he just about hit OH's little sister, so OH had to get into the middle and he threw his brother out.. and then when OH's mom got home OH's sister got into trouble.. i mean seriously what the hell is up with that.. I think OH's mum is just being really imature like OH's sis was mad so she threw a shoe at her mom (this is because she got in trouble instead of her brother) and than her mom took the shoe and went and threw it back at her and then grounded OH's sister.. i mean really whats up with that she should ground her self lol

It wont be long now before your Dh will be able to feel the kicks on the outside.. my OH has felt a few of them but he always puts his hand on my tummy to late and the baby has already stopped kicking haha, it is so cute thou. Being able to see the kicking and all that

oh i know what you mean, that drink is horrible. i am really not looking forward to having to drink it again! that really is pretty crazy about the iron thing, i guess your baby really needs it. and at least it was an easy fix to the problem...i think low iron is actually a pretty common issue for pregnant women. you really are becoming quite a regular at the doctors office! but at least they have all been pretty minor issues and are easily resolved, its not like youre having major problems or anything. and your baby is staying healthy and growing fast! thats the most important part. although im sure it sucks to go to the doctors office so much. i know for me personally i hate going. once a month is too much for me. i just dont like doctors offices or hospitals very much, never have.

yea the baby shower is in just 12 days. im excited. it should be a fun time with friends and family. we are having a bday party on the 13th, a graduation party on the 14th, graduation is all day the 15th, and the baby shower is the 16th. its going to be a very busy 4 days! lol. but it will be fun celebrating all these things with family and such. im excited for it all, but i have so much left to do before everyone arrives. i think ive been busier lately than i have for a long time. and thats saying a lot since i just spent the last year writing a thesis! lol. the shower will be good though, because after that we will know what else we need and we can start buying

wow...that is crazy about your OHs mom. i can see where she might be afraid that if she punishes her son that he will want to go to his dad's house. that would be tough. but at the same time, kids need discipline too. and he cant be allowed to think that he can do whatever he wants without consequences. and its even worse that your OHs sister is getting in trouble when she didnt even do anything. that doesnt seem like a very good situation...maybe your OHs mom needs to understand that shes causing more harm than anything else by asking like that!

we keep trying to get DH to feel the kicks, but theyre just not strong enough yet. she will be kicking right under his hand but he just cant really feel it yet. i was reading because i was a little worried that he couldnt feel them yet, like maybe shes not active enough or big enough for how far along i am. but the book said it was normal and that most pregnancies cant feel kicks from the outside until 23 or 24 weeks. so now im less nervous. hopefully she gets a lot stronger over the next couple of weeks! im hoping that my family will be able to feel her when they are here

your 24 weeks today! hooray for being viable! you must be so excited...this is cause for celebration! and youre picture is too cute! you make a very cute pregnant lady!

That drink really is not the best thing i mean they could give us something thats a little better tasting lol but what is it really just sugar and water, blah lol. I am dreading having to go back in and do it.. and since its not supposed to be done tell 28 weeks i wonder if ill have to do it again. stupid hospitals lol. Its funny going in to the doctors because usually now i dont even have to sit in the waiting room they just drag me right into the other room to wait for the doctor unless its like really busy. at the big hospital the receptionest there was really snooty i didnt like her at all. like i went in there, my appointment was at 1pm and thats when the doors were re opened they were closed because of lunch and everything.. so i went in there and said "hi i have an appointment at 1" and she said "ok fine whats your name" and i was like "shannon" she was like "last" and i told her, than she was like "theres the washroom go pee in a cup and then come out and we will weigh you" I was like "yeesh rude lady" lol than after that i went to the scale and i asked "so do i have to take off my shoes" and she was like "is that what you normally do, well if its what you normally do take them off than!" i was goina smack her she was being so very rude!

wow it sounds like you guys have abusy 4 days coming up haha you are going to be pretty excited for that thou. All those fun things all in a row.. On the 13th of May my grandma is coming down for 4 days, so that should be fun i guess lol. This week when OH is down from work we have a pretty busy schedule.. On thursday We are taking my kitten to the clinic to get his shots and to get neutered than when we get home OH has a doctors appointment for his back.. Than on friday, we have a big shopping day, we are buying lots of things for baby and we are buying a bunch of other things. horray than on saturday we are doing like a date night type thing. than on sunday its mothers day so we will be with my family all day than on Monday I have a doctors appointment here for bloods to be done and than a doc apointment in town for bloods to be done hehe. Thats one busy week ah thats so exciting you will get to start to be able to buy stuff after the baby shower

I know its so annoying she is not being a very good parent at all.. very irrisponcible.. err

It is amazing when the guys can feel the kicks. My OH cant feel them all the time he only feels the really big kicks.. but i love it when he does feel it.. it makes it so amazing i keep asking him if he feels it like every 10 seconds and he'd be like no with a sad face on lol. the baby really kicks lots when OH is around "like daddy im in here can you feel me" tehe it really is the cuttest thingever. i hope that the kicks start getting big so when your family is down they will be able to feel them that will be so amazing for you hehe

Thanks im so happy to finally be viable icouldnt sleep last night i was so excited that today was finally the day id be able to say im viable and baby is getting so big now it is so amazing and my bump is growing great awe thanks i feel huge, but i also cant wait for it to get bigger hehe.

So today i paid and signed up for prenatial classes i get to do those in july thats going to be really exciting i cant wait. And we are all signed up for maternity photos which are to be done in july as well when im 35 weeks i am so excited. I hope this summer goes by really fast

wow the receptionist does seem pretty rude. the women at my hospital are not the nicest either. probably because its so busy and they see so many people everyday. but they are really to the point in their work and not very personable. but i guess i cant blame them. it would be nice, i think, to go to a nice small doctors office though where you could get nicer service and get to know everyone more. oh well though! lol.

wow, it seems like you have a busy week coming up too! but most of it sounds pretty fun...especially the shopping. and then im sure it will be really nice to have your grandma for a visit too. what happend to your OHs back though? hopefully everything is okay and its not too serious. i know that back injuries can be pretty bad and very painful though. hopefully his is minor and easily fixed im very excited for this next week...it will be so good to see everyone. and i have the whole time off of work. and ive been needing a break and some me time, so it will be a great way to just get away from it all for a little bit plus i cant wait to start buying things and getting the nursery all decorated after the shower and everyone leaves. because then ill be 24 weeks already and it will be time to start getting that stuff in order i think!

aww that sucks that he keeps missing the kicks, but at least hes felt a few of them. i hope that my family will be able to, but i figure that if not this trip they will for sure be able to at the end of june when i go to vegas, colorado and wyoming to see everyone and visit my nephew. so i guess its not too bad if it doesnt happen when they are out here. by the time i go visit ill be 28-29 weeks, so for sure the kicks will be big enough by then.

you dont look huge at all. you look great and your bump is just perfect and cute. how big is baby this week now? thats cool that you are taking your prenatal class! when does it start. my hospital offers one for free but i cant take it until 29 weeks. and then its a four week thing, meeting once a week. but they say its really good and informative. i cant wait for it. i also want to take a lamaze class, but i dont know where they offer that out here. your pictures will be so great! that will be nice to have a professional portrait of you pregnant right before the baby arrives. then the LO can see what you guys looked like when you were all excited and waiting for the big day!

Most receptionest's at hospitals i have noticed have been quite snooby i guess its just the fact they are dealing with pregnant people or sick people all day they just get sick of it after a while and they probably get patients that are really rude to id imagin lol but still they shouldnt be rude to every one around.. like even the receptionest here at the lab is horribal she is rude and practically yelled at me last time i was in for something i didnt even no i had to have.. i really wish they could just be a little bit nicer to people who are going to there business. seriously lol. there are plently of other places i could be going lol but i absolutly adore my doctor i have here she is such a sweet heart and she is pregnant to.

Thats what i figure too that after 24 weeks its okay to gototally crazy and go baby shopping and get everything in order. some people think its a jink to go and get all the baby stuff before you are like 34 weeks but i dont think so lol.. i am so exited to be going baby shopping we are going to get to buy some yellow and green outfits its going to be a blast.. you will have so much fun too when you get to go out and by all that wonderful baby stuff and start gettting your nursary ready for your beautiful baby girl do you have a name picked out yet?

That is true that they will all hopefully get to feel the kicks when you go down there to see them hehe.. theywill really enjoy that.. you will have lots of fun with your family and your baby in your tummy it wont be long now tell you can see the kicks on the outside when it gets stronger and than your DH will defantly be able to feel it i bet he cant wait lol.. Thats all my OH kept saying is he wants to feel the kicks so bad so it feels like its actaully real. I think OH is going to make a great daddy

awe thanks hehe i feel huge In my one book they said that its out of food analagies now so they said it was about the size of a peice of paper lol crazy and in the email i got it said about the size of an ear of corn which is easily as crazy and it weighs about 1lb 6oz so thats pretty crazy haha.. My prenatial classes dont start un til july.. they could only fit me into one class before baby is due.. well they fit me into two classes so that will be good. any way they are both 4 hour sessions it should be fun lol. You are lucky you get to go for free. i want to do lamaze classes too but i dont think anyone around here does those classes. waa .. i am keeping a photo album already of all my belly pics from 6 weeks al the way tell the end so that baby can see what it looked like before it was here i will show it to it when its a little bit older im sure it will really enjoy seeing how funny i look lol

yea i agree, receptionists probably have to deal with some really upset people throughout the day. i could see where that would be tiring, but they shouldnt be mean to everyone. especially not when were trying to be nice to them! that is so cool that your doctor is pregnant too! its like you guys are going through it together. it probably makes it feel like she understands more where youre coming from when you talk to her about things.

yea i dont get the whole superstition thing about not buying stuff until youre about to pop. i can understand waiting until like 20 weeks or after. and definitely not buying everything as soon as you find out like before 12 weeks. but after 24 youre pretty safe. plus, if you wait and the baby comes early youre totally gonna be screwed and not have anything ready! lol. i cant wait to get everything set up. i think i want to have pretty much everything bought, put together, and ready by 30 weeks. otherwise, if we wait longer, ill feel like im falling behind and not prepared enough. lol. plus i just cant wait to get everything settled for (yes we have FINALLY picked a name) little Audrey Elise.

yea i think DH needs to be feeling the kicks for it all to be more real. he keeps his hand on my belly pretty much every moment were around one another, but he still hasnt felt much yet. still just not strong enough. but it will be here soon. he cant wait and neither can i. though i had a dream last night that the baby was here and i couldnt figure out anything to do. we were using cloth diapers (in the dream, probably not in reality) and i couldnt figure out how to put them on! theyre so different than real diapers and then i started crying in the dream and finally woke up and my heart was pounding. lol

oh that will be cool. youll definitely learn a lot in your classes then, theyre long sessions. i think mine are 2 hours and meet 4 times. but i cant find a lamaze place in town so im not sure ill be doing that either. oh well...labor is natural and our bodies will know what to do when the time comes!

 

[dizzy65]

yes thats totally true.. receptionest at hosptials can be a real pain.. when we went to the animal hospital today they were al really nice.. It was actaully really funny, I went in and said we are here to pick up trouble.. and they looked at me and sighed and they were like " ah yes trouble, he defanly is trouble" lol and they got scratched up a few good times as soon as i left trouble threw a fit... I had to go in and get him everyone was afraid to touch him I was the only one trouble would respond too.. as soon as i went in there i herd in growling so i walked to the cage where he was in and i said "hi sweety" and he came walked over to me and everyone was like "watch out!!" and he just sniffed me than gave me kisses lol.. He wouldnt ever hurt me.. i felt so bad for my poor kitten.

I would defantly not be buying stuff before 20 weeks or anything like that.. but i am thinking yes im 24 weeks now it is defantly time to start stocking up on the baby stuff . haha im like you by time im 30 weeks i want to have everything all organised and ready to go so i feel prepaired i dont want to be like 36 weeks and have nothing incase i go into early labour and there is nothing for baby.. i would be so screwed and i really want to have everything ready to go by then at least.. we are getting lots of stuff together now.. we are even going to be buying clothes tomorrow yay. awe i love that name it is so cute.. a perfect name congrats you must be happy he he

awe thats so cute your Dh keeps doing that lol.. awe that must of been a really bad night mare i hate when i have dreams like that.. it scares me so bad i feel like im going to be a bad mother and everything because of the dreams im like ah what if i dont no what to do when baby is here lol.. I hope you dont have very many dreams like that they can make the night time sleeping horribal lol..

i hope so im so scared i wont no what to do when im in labour lol..

Congrats on hitting 22 weeks how big is baby now?
