pregnancy & text buddy- aug 2010

[QueSeraSera]

wow! thats crazy about your kitten. too funny though..i used to have a dog that was like that. around anyone else he was a terror, but for me he was always the sweetest dog and perfectly behaved. i guess they get used to one person and they just want to be around that person all the time. our dogs now love people though and anyone who will pet them or play with them are okay in their eyes! lol

that is awesome that youre getting things together and getting all ready. i agree that i really want to be completely ready by about 30-34 weeks at the latest. yesterday we got a package in the mail from DHs mom and it was a swing for the baby. and then we are going to buy a new crib this weekend. so were getting on our way. then, after the baby shower next weekend we will know where we are and what we need to get still. did you guys get some cool clothes then this weekend? thanks about the name, we really like it. DHs mom and grandma dont really like it, but we dont really care. they havent liked much about this pregnancy since the beginning anyway. i love it and think its perfect.

yea i didnt like the dream or to think that i might not know everything to do. but i guess it will just be one big learning experience lol. the dreams have been crazy lately and they make me wake up a lot, but im also not getting much sleep because im getting bigger and more uncomfortable. its hard to find a sleeping position where some part of me doesnt hurt! lol.

the baby is the size of a squash. lol. i think its kinda ironic because the update was talking about how room inside the belly is getting limited and everything, so the baby is getting kinda squashed in there. and shes the size of a squash! haha. silly

 

[dizzy65]

We think it was just mainly because it was new people in there with him and he wasnt used to being away from me.. and he doenst really like strangers fondeling all over him unless im with him.. Plus they put him in a kenell beside a dog.. and he is really really afraid of dogs.. it was funny i seen the dog that was beside him and trouble was like the same size i was like "oh my god cat get a grip!!" lol .. he came right to me thou.. my little angel kitty was so amazing.. I had to tell them that he would never hurt me on purpose any way because they were so afraid trouble was goina take a peice out of me.. i was the only one that could open the door to the kennel with out getting bit or swatted at.. everyone was like "awwe he knows who is mummy is" lol. I told them honestly that he has never hissed or growled a time in his life before we took him to the vet. poor little guy has to go back next month for more shots.. but ill stay with him for those..

thats great that you guys are buying stuff to.. it is great to have that sence of the baby is actaully coming and this is actaully happening.. i mean before it was like "yes im pregnant" but now its like "omg there is a baby inside me and its actually going to sleep and use this stuff" lol it just seems a lot more real.. in the next couple of weeks we are starting to put babies room together ... we are so excited everything is feeling more real plus now i am justabout in 3rd tri.. there are sum women who dont even get things ready tell there justabout due.. but im not one of those women haha

Ah i know. with me right now its like get sort of comfy than i have to pee its like omg id like to get at least any hour sleep before baby is hear lol.. everyone when they look at me they are like "awe you look so tired" its like "yes i know you try carrying around a giant baby and tell me how you feel!" lol now it hurts to walk for long distances as my ankles are so swollen and my back hurts.. it gets frusterating

haha that is kinda funny its the size of a squash and its squished hehe its kind of perfect .. just 2 more weeks now before you are viable you must be so excited

 

[QueSeraSera]

hello! my its been a long time! i have just had the craziest, busiest week of my life! but i just got my family off on their respective flights home last night and things are settled back down now. it was exhausting but very fun at the same time. so im finally graduated, im 25 and ive just got thrown a baby shower...all in just 6 days! lol

the baby shower was just great. we got a ton of the cutest little dresses and i cant wait until Audrey gets here so that i can see how they look on her! and we got a ton of blankets and a bath and some bottles and most of the essential items really. it was great and everyone was so nice and fun to be around. my parents bought us a stroller, car seat, and the bedding set too. so we are well on our way to having everything we need for when the LO finally arrives. now the big task ahead is to start actually setting up the nursery, because right now everything is just sort of sitting in the room in bags and boxes. lol. im hoping this weekend i can get the bulk of it done because DH will be working nights and i will have some free time on my hands. but i might just go to the beach instead and enjoy a relaxing weekend.

how have you been? so many congrats on reaching 26 weeks and on being less that 100 days until the birth! ahhh! you must be getting so excited! i will be at 24 weeks tomorrow and im so excited. i have a doctors appt on friday and i need to ask her about swelling, the past week my ankles have been getting pretty swollen. im not sure if this is normal at this stage or if it was because i was on my feet and walking practically all day for six days in a row, or maybe im not getting enough water. who knows...but im a little nervous about it. are you getting any swelling or anything like that at all? maybe its just normal and im being paranoid. lol. hope youre well!

[dizzy65]

Hello wow you seem like you have been really busy that is crazy. a big congrats on graduating for university ah that must be a huge load off! now you can focus on the baby more and stuff. it must be pretty quiet and stuff now every one has gone.. sounds like you had really a lot of fun Did your birthday go well? i know on my birthday it kind of sucked because i couldnt really do anything but it was good to cause OH really spoiled me haha.. wow so much you did in just 6 days no wonder you were busy!

thats great.. i know what you mean our nursary too everything is just kind of lkaying all of the place. we are waiting on OH and his dad to move out the other bed (the big persons bed) out of the nursary and the desk so we can start getting things in order.. we have been getting little bits for baby for the past little while. tomorrow we are going more baby shopping for one of those swings for baby we are soo excited.. there is only 14 weeks now until baby is hear so we are trying to get as much done as possibal and ive been really tired lately so we have been kinda at a stand still for doing things hehe.. it sounds like you guys have lots of stuff for baby now after the shower how exciting you must be really excited to start work on the nursary

Thanks i cant believe it only 4 more days now tell im in the third trimester it is so great.. baby moves so much now every time i sit or stand still baby moves like crazy.. My mom felt the baby kick the other night she jumped and her expersion was so lovely i loved it she had a huge grin from ear to ear.. hehe My grandma was down last week and took pictures of my belly she cant waits to be a great-grandmum she plans to come down in september.. i havent told her yet we are doing a baby shower when she is down so she can be part of all the fun Yes less than 100 days now it seems to be going by fast.. saying less than 100 days seems really scarey i cant believe it its such a short period away now

Congrats you are viable!! wow that is so awesome you must be so happy i know i sure was when i hit that 24 week it was the best feeling ever now just 3 weeks for you and it will be off to third tri! yay

As for the swelling ive been getting tons of it.. it hurts to stand up for long periods of time i cant wear my engagement ring as it gets stuck on my fingers. my face is swollen so i look like a little fat girl.. haha. I defantly no about the swelling and it is common i think thats what doctor told me any way so im going on that lol. I have a prenatial visit on tuesday so i will be able to ask about all my concerns i hope

Had a scare yesterday thought my waters were leaking so i spent about 2 hours in the ER the doctors were debating on sending me to Vancouver or not (its about a 5 hour drive) to the big hospital but they checked me out and my cervix is completly closed and baby is fine its not distressed or anything like that I was so glad to hear that i got to hear the heart beat yesterday it was a good 140 so it was perfectly normal.. The doctor did my blood pressure and checked my temputer too everything was fine.. they said i did the right thing on comming in..

 

[QueSeraSera]

greeneforever: you are more than welcome to join us! is this your first pregnancy?

oh my gosh it was so extremely busy, but a lot of fun. and now that school is doen its a little weird, like i dont really know what to do with myself. i keep thinking i have some project to work on or some paper to write, i guess thats just from habit of always having something to do. its going to actually take some getting used to having this much free time. but now i am to work full time, so that will take up quite a bit of my time as well since before i was only working about 28-30 hours per week. my birthday was pretty low key. we went down to dinner in waikiki and had a nice little get together with the family. i drank all sorts of virgin cocktails, since i couldnt have the real stuff. lol. it was tame compared to past bdays, but still very fun. its crazy how much having a baby can change things! lol.

we finally got everything moved out of the nursery as far as other furniture, but we havent really taken anything out of the boxes as far as baby stuff. everything needs to be put together, so most of it will be DHs job anyway. hes working nights this week because of something at work, so i might try to put the swing together or something while im bored hanging out without him this weekend. i have to write a ton of thank you notes and stuff too, so ive got lots to do! it sounds like you have most of the things you need for baby too. i think were both on pretty good track for being ready for baby. it feels good to be getting everything together and to know that everything is a little more prepared in case the baby decides to come early.

that is too cute about your mum feeling the baby. nobody felt the baby while they were here. she stops kicking as soon as anyone puts their hand on my tummy. i think its soothing for her to feel the touch and she stops moving. DH is so anxious to finally catch her in action. im hoping when i go to vegas to visit my parents in june that they will get to feel her too. i know that would just make them so happy. i bet your grandma was so happy to see you all pregnant! and im sure she will be so excited to be a part of the shower you have in september too. what a great thing to include her in

youre so close to 3rd tri already! i cant believe how quick its all gone by! soon ill be getting the update that youve had the baby and getting to see pictures! 96 days is nothing compared to how long its already been! im very excited about viability...its a relief to have gotten to this point. and somehow it eases my worries about the whole thing a bit.

im glad that im not the only one with the swelling. its crazy really cause i drink all my water and everything, but i guess its normal starting about this stage. i took off my wedding bands several weeks ago because i was afraid of swelling and had read horror stories of women having to get their rings cut off. so i took them off early to be safe. but it doesnt seem like anything is really swelling right now except for my ankles. i swear it looks like i have no ankles at all. its gross, lol. :-/ tomorrow im going to check with the doctor to make sure its okay and nothing to be worried about. ive just read all these things about swelling and preeclampsia, and it makes me worry a bit,

what happened that you thought your water was breaking? was fluid actually leaking or something? thats pretty scary and i would have gone to the emergency room too. im glad everything checked out well and that everything is still looking good though. i bet it was a pretty stressful day for you yesterday then! :-/ get some rest and feel better!

btw, i love your new picture. is this from your prenatal photo shoot?

 

[dizzy65]

yeah id imagin so being in school for that long and than all of a sudden its like no school. it would feel so weird i mean you were in school for most of your life! given you didnt take any time off after high school or anything just went strait away to collage.. thats insane i dont think i would ever be good like that lol. well now you just have a really impresive resume.. no working at Mcdonalds for you Well at least you have something to occupy a bit of your time.. but now you need the time to prepair your self for baby and stuff as baby will be there in like 3 months. ah that is so crazy hehe. I know what you mean.. my birthday party this year was really tame compaired to my past birthdays hehe.. Its like now i am a mom really my life revolves around baby and around my kitten i have no time for anything else im just so rapped up in all of this thats all i care about and such.

Thats awesome must feel like such a relief to have that done we are moving furniture out of the babies room either tonight or tomorrow (not me of course FIL and OH will) i am to pregnant to help with that.. we have been cleaning and organising our room too so that when baby comes here that it wont have to be in a messy disoraganised room that will be fun if you put together the swing and stuff. OH usually does that stuff for me because im challanged in that way hehe i cant put together stuff. OH had to put together our bed thing we got for baby. this bed was so intesnse.. it was a bed/playpen/changing station all in one.. and oh my goodness my FIL has finished our changing table (he made it) and it is just amazing

awe that sucks no one got to feel baby move.. but hey you will be there in june so they will get to feel her by then she should be just a cruisin by then i know for me now its like non stop action from the baby i love it it is so amazing hehe.. Pretty soon it will be like that too. i dont no if boys or usually more active than girls or anything but im sure your LO will be moving like crazy soon.. just eat stuff with lotsa sugar in it hehe.. ah its like with that Diabeties test or what ever and that drink makes baby go wild hehe i love feeling it wiggle around

ah i no i am so excited to be just about to third and final trimester seems like only yesterday i was so excited to be moving over into my second trimester and now woa im almost to the last one i cant believe it the next huge mile stone for me after hitting my third trimester is 30 weeks i so cant wait than there will only be 10 weeks left but really now there is only 14 weeks left or less actaully its like 13 weeks 4 days hehe i cant wait im so excited yes viability is such a big thing and you are there. wahoo.. that is great news.. a huge mile stone and in 13 days you will be down under 100 days i cant believe it than it will seem like time is going by so fast and you will get to be holding your little princess in your arms awe

Swelling is so annoying.. my doctor didnt seem to concerned about it so i hope that is a good thing and it means that there wont be any complications.. its best to talk to your doctor about it if your worried just to put your mind at ease thats what they are there for after all they probably have herd every question in the book and are totally used to it i know with me i have a ton of questions for my doctor when i go in.. 4 weeks some times is just to long between visits! haha pretty soon ill be in ever 2 weeks thou eek i cant wait

It just felt really wet "down" there so i had a panic attack after reading some of these posts on here about ppl thinking it was just urin and going in to find out there waters have been leaking and such so i rushed in and he did an exam and all of that.. and it was just a bit of a yeast infection with my bladder was leaking so nothing major my cervix was very closed and baby was not in distress so yay for that im glad baby is okay any way.. He said i did the best thing with coming in to the hospital and omg it so wasnt fair they stuck me with the cutest doctor with a sexy accent i was like "omg he is so hot i cant believe he has to see me like this!" haha

Thanks it was just couple photos OH and i did together our prenatial photos arent done until july i so cant wait for those one to be done for sure!

 

[QueSeraSera]

haha! i guess thats one way to look at it that makes all the schooling worthwhile...i should always have a pretty well paying job. it feels nice to have free time and get to spend quality time with DH and my stepson, not to mention get prepared for the baby. its just a strange feeling not to be in school...but a good one! the birthday was funny, cause i was thinking back to my last birthday where i drank so much and went out and partied...very different from this year. but better i think. im okay with giving up the partying because im much more excited about the baby than i ever was about partying.

that is so cool that your FIL made you a changing table. i bet its gorgeous. i know what you are talking about with the pack and play crib/playpen/changer thing. we dont have one now, but we had one with my stepson. they are so confusing! we are getting one soon too for the baby because she will be sleeping in our room to begin with for a few months until she moves into her crib in her own room i bet you are excited to get it all organized and see what it looks like, i know i sure am! i can't do much without DH though, because he always yells at me for trying to lift too much or do things like putting stuff together. so ill just have to wait until he is done with this working nights schedule.

it was crazy about the baby because she was kicking and moving around a lot when they were here, but she just stops when i or someone else puts their hand on my belly. i think she is just kicking cause she wants a little loving, and when she feels the warmth from something touching my stomach its like she settles down and is perfectly fine ill have to eat more candies when im around my parents next month to make sure she does some major somersaults! i know they really want to feel her move. i dont blame them, its an amazing feeling.

it is so crazy that you are so close to being finished. 14 weeks seems like nothing. for me, anything after 24 is cake because its past viability. thats the major one i was waiting for. but also i am exciting for 30 and 35 weeks. they are all just major, fun milestones that get us closer to our LOs! plus, with how busy work is and throw another vacation in there, i know its just going to fly by and be here before i know it

yea i dont like the swelling, and im sure its nothing but ill ask my doctor tomorrow. it really is a long time to wait 4 weeks between appointments, especially when we have so much going on with our bodies and changes taking place...it sparks questions! they need a nurse hotline or something. when do you start going in every 2 weeks? i think i have my 24 week tomorrow, then a 28 week, and a 32 week...then im pretty sure after that its every 2 weeks.

oh wow i bet that was scary. its hard when you read so much on here and then it makes us paranoid about things. but it was definitely something you needed to get checked. and if you have to be at the hospital, then a hot doctor is definitely a plus!! its good that everything is fine though and progressing normally. your LO just gave you a little scare there!

i thought the prenatal pics were later, but then i thought maybe you got them done early. the new photos are too cute at any rate...you and your OH look so happy together.

 

[dizzy65]

it would be a really strange feeling for sure! haha. Thats good thou now you have that time to spend with your step son and your DH and then the baby will be here and you will have lots of time for baby too to not have to worry about going back to school and finishing off your degree! It will be great.. and now for the rest (exsept for when you have to work) you can just relax and take it easy put your feet up.. if you are anything like me right now you are probably tired and sore like sore back and stuff. one of the many joys of being pregnant i guess all the pain and stuff that goes with it hehe oh well its defantly worth it if it means we are getting closer to our LO's ..

It is so beautiful im going to take pictures of it adventually so i can show every one he does amazing work with wood working i love it so much he is making us a bed frame right now hehe.. he is great with wood working.. i wish i was as talented as him they are intense those crib/playpen/changing thing there is like a bazillion peices you have to find were they call go it is so crazy haha. it takes a while thats why i have my OH he has more patients towards that sort of thing than i do.. ahh your DH sounds like my OH getting mad at me for doing to much.. he always tells me to relax and he will help and stuff but when i want some thing done i will do it my self for sure!

That could just be it haha she just wanted a bit of attention. my LO used to do that too kicked so much and than when we put our hands there it was like nope that it haha.. Iwant to video tape LO moving and stuff it is amazing the other night itactaully made my tummy look cone shaped haha it was so weird.. and than OH actaully saw LO moving to i was like "did you see that" and he had a big grin and he was like "yes" and he came over and put his hand on my tummy. now he can feel baby move with out me asking him if he felt it he always is like "i felt that one" he is so proud hehe i love it .. It is trully an amazing feeling for sure

Thats exactly right. 24 weeks was the huge mile stone and now that we are both over being 24 weeks now there is just the birth of our babies to look forward to and all of those other fun mile stones hehe.. it will be like 30 week mile stone 35 weeks mile stone than 38 week mile stone hehe i so cant wait there are so many great things coming up.. i cant wait to meet the LO

That is very true we dont no really what is happening to us so we are like paranoid about every little thing.. i think we start going in every two weeks after 35 weeks so that will be fun not long now tell we are in there every 2 weeks i think they said we get one more ultra sound at the end too eek i cant wait

Yes this site with all the things that happen on here is defantly a good reason for some one to get all paranoid hehe but im glad everything was fine yes LO defantly gave us a bit of a scare

Thanks we really are so happy right now we cant wait for the baby and everything ah its so exciting hehe

 

[QueSeraSera]

oh yea being done finally is like a huge weight off of my shoulders. and i am so excited to be able to go home at night after work and just hang out with my DH and my stepson. its great not to have all those other things to worry about. and im just like you...ive getting very crampy and sore all the time. like leg cramps and sore back and just generally cant get comfortable. im glad school ended when it did, because im not sure how much longer i would have been able to do it!

thats so cool about your FIL. i always wished that i was better at woodworking and things like that. there are so many beautiful things that you can make when you have that talent, but i dont. i took a class in university where we had to make a bench...it was so hard and mine looked horrendous. it was my last attempt at woodworking and ive never tried again lol. i really like the pack and play crib/playpens, but they doo look really intimidating to put together. but im the one with more patience, as DH gets frustrated really easy. so maybe ill try to put it together myself. but then im sure hell get mad about me doing too much. ahhh...cant win sometimes! sometimes he will say he will do something though and then he takes forever to actually do it. most of the time its just easier to do it myself, cause i want it done when i want it done! lol.

thats so cool that your OH can feel the LO all the time now. hopefully when im where you are now it will be the same for DH, he wants to feel her but she always settles down whenever he tries to. today we went in for a checkup and she did the heartbeat thing. i think she hated it cause as soon as the lady put the speaker to my belly she started kicking away. she was not so happy about it at all. and when the doctor was done she settled right back down.

i was looking at the chart while waiting for the doctor and it says something for every week, and it hit me just how far weve come and how little there is left to go. and then the lady who checked in behind me was 38 weeks along. i was just thinking "whoa...its not too long until im gonna be where shes at" its crazy cause it seems like just a few days ago that we were saying how far away it all seemed! im so excited for it to get here though, i cant wait to finally hold little Audrey in my arms

oooh! im so jealous that you get another ultrasound! here we just get the one unless there are complications. and as much as id love to have another, i dont want any complications. so im hoping everything just goes smooth and ill see her in september

you guys look great and happy for sure! and theres great reason to be, soon youll be parents to a beautiful little boy or girl!

 

[dizzy65]

It would be soo hard to sit in a class room right now for sure.. being so crampy and with a sore back.. i get sore just sitting at my computer for a long period of time i have to get up and stretch.. plus having to pee like a zillion times a day i think id probably annoy any teacher haha.. Right now the baby is sitting on my bladder so like every little move or any exstra shift in wait i defantly feel and it sends me running to the bathroom. ugh so annoying haha.. but im so happy thati can feel the baby like this it is really amazing imagin if you went to school tell you were like 35 weeks youd be in soo much pain it would be so unbarable!

I cant do woodworking because im like so scared of the machines.. My one friend or i guess this guy i new for his whole life was grinding and he grinded off bits and parts of all 4 of his fingers the only thing he didnt get was his thumb! talk about scarey.. i wouldnt be able to dothat i just keep thinking what if this happened to me and such i would be a wreck haha! but if you have the talent go for it and have fun i wish i wasnt such achicken Ah my OH is the same way i ask him to do something and he doesnt do it so i do it my self and i get in trouble i hate having to wait for him i know it sounds childish but i really hate having to wait!

My LO does the same thing with the doppler its fine until its on there the last time actaully LO kicked the doppler than ran away and it kept doing that.. i was like "i really dont think it likes that thing!" haha.. im sure pretty soon your DH will be able to feel baby all the time! it wont be long now any way.. unless your LO wants to be funny and not let your DH feel her kick at all haha.. My OH is so happy now that he can feel the baby i think it is more real to him now

Ah i know what you mean it so seems like it was just yesterday we were talking about how we were jellous of peoples tickers that were over the 20 week mark and now look at us! it wont be long now before we are up there and there will be people envying our tickers wishing they were 38 weeks and stuff like that i cant wait it is crazy to think how big baby has gotten so far like it came a long way from being the size of a grain of rice for sure.

I think they mainly do that extra scan just to make sure baby is facing the right directions to prevent complications in the birthingroom and all of that.. i cant wait to see the LO again it is so exciting

For sure wontbe long now tell we are hold our LO in our arms

 

[QueSeraSera]

ahhh! i am having the same problem the past couple of days about the bladder thing! lately she has been kicking me right in the bladder. and man her kicks are getting so strong! each time she does it, i am sent running to the bathroom hoping i make it in time. it would have been bad if that had been happening while i was in class! but i had gotten pretty good about always getting a seat at the end of an isle and near an exit, trying not to disturb people when i would have to leave. most of my teachers were pretty understanding though. i appologized about having to get up in class, but they were okay with it. im glad its over though...sitting is becoming more and more difficult to do. at work i get up about every half an hour to walk around the office a few times. otherwise im just achey and uncomfortable.

i agree about the woodworking. the machines are terrifying. and ive heard so many horror stories about people cutting fingers off and such. when i had to use the machines i pretty much begged the woodshop instructor to help me. i do admire people that have that talent though and can do things like that, they can really make beautiful things for sure. its so funny about you not wanting to wait. im so the same way. when i ask DH to do something, i want him to do it right then. if he doesnt want to, then ill do it myself. he always gets so mad though when i go and do things on my own that he said he would do. hes just so slow about things sometimes though and i want it to be done right away! lol

hehe. there must be something about the dopplers. i wonder if it makes a loud sound in there or something. its a wonder they know its there, but they must since they always seem to run from it! the past few days LO has been really kicking a lot and so much harder than before. its sad that DH has been working nights, because thats when shes been most active. last night i spent like an hour staring at my stomach watching it jump where she was kicking. so cool to actually see the movements from the outside. you were right, that definitely makes it so much more real that theres a living baby in there!

i remember that! whenever i would see a lady whose ticker was at like 20 weeks i would think how lucky she was and how i wished i was that far. and now 20 weeks has come and gone already. youre just a day away from 3rd tri and im only a couple weeks! my time has really flown by so exciting that its all getting so close!

oh now that you mention it, i think i do get a quick scan at like 37 weeks or something to make sure the baby isnt breech. but im not positive about that. i hope so though, i would love to see the LO one more time before meeting her out here in the world

 

[dizzy65]

It gets annoying.. we were watching the sky divers today and i was laying on the bench looking up at the sky andthen all of a sudden i was like "ah" and i like leaped off the table and ran to the bathroom with OH stairing after me with a puzzled face lol i had to explane when i got back that his dear child had just did a bum drop on my bladder lol he had a good chuckle.. and Yesterday when OH and i were hugging baby kicked him in the tummy like "hey pay me sum attention too" haha i looked at him and just burst out laughing.. It is so neat to feel all these little movements. I can even feel now when LO has the hiccups and my goodness what a weird feeling that is.. the first time that happened i was like "omg whats happening to my tummy!" haha it was really funny

I would do the same in woodworking i would complain to the teacher i needed help and i wouldnt go near the tools the big machines any way.. i usually used the hand held ones those are a littlebit more managable! haha.. I know i think that must bea male thing you ask them to do something and it takes for ever to do it.. ah it gets so frusterating.. I ask OH todo something he will be like "ok" go down stairs and than half hour later i go check to see if its done and he is watching tv.. so i have to like make him go do what i want him to do.. errg men haha.

The last doctor i had that listened to the heart beat says that the doppler wakes them up.. so maybe theycan hear it and it like freaks them out or something there like "woa what in the world is that strange noice!!" haha.. That is so true.. it is amazing to be able to see them kicking it makes it all feel so much more real but at the same time its like woa i cant believe that im growing a person inside my body it is just un real.. but what i dont even want to think about is that in 3 months im going tobe pushing that baby out.. OH keeps reminding me im like "ah just shut it" lol

haha i know it has gone pretty fast thus far thou if you think about it.. i mean just3 months now less than 100 days and ill be holding my LO in my arms it is so great and i only have 2 boxes left on my ticker.. i really cant believe how far we have come and all of that. it is just so amazing.. and tomorrow i will be in my third trimester i really cant believe it!

It would be cool to see how big baby is at like 37 weeks apose to the 20 week one it would be so big by then.. they defantly have to do something to make sure baby isnt breech or anything

So next May long weekend which is in a year OH, FIL, my dad, and me are all going to go sky diving its goina be fun hehe

haha! that is too funny about having to run to the bathroom. im the same way. i think im lazy a lot too and i dont want to get up more than i have to, so i wait until its like an emergency cause i need to pee so bad. and so on an bursting bladder, when she kicks me there i literally almost pee my pants. its so unexpected too, i think it catches me off guard. oh the things that happen during pregnancy. i bet the hiccups are awesome! i cant wait, i thought she had them the other day but i think she just may have been kicking in rhythm. im not sure. i bet in a few weeks ill be able to really distinguish! i love the story about your LO kicking your OH. awww...s/he just wants some loving too!

hehe. it seems like we had the same approach for getting through shop class! oh my DH is the same! if i want him to do something i pretty much have to follow him and watch him do it, otherwise he gets distracted and does something else. then when i go check on him, the thing i wanted done still is unfinished! ahhh...boys...they are out of control good thing we love em, otherwise they would probably drive us crazy!

that makes sense then about the babies always trying to get away from the doppler. i think i would be pretty terrified too if i was sleeping and then all of the sudden some loud wooshing noise woke me up, but i couldnt see what it was or where it was coming from. yea, id run away too! that is the one thing about the kicks getting bigger, that means the baby is getting bigger. and the bigger she gets, the more its gonna hurt here in a few months when she wants to come out! eek!

it is so close! and youre ticker is almost complete! its crazy, may is almost over and youre literally only a couple months from bringing your baby into the world. and then im just a few weeks behind you! so much to do still to get everything ready...the time is going to fly! and soon youll be seeing your baby again on ultrasound too. i bet that will be awesome and the LO will have grown so much since the last time. youll probably be able to see very well defined features and everything

skydiving will be awesome! we had plans to go after i graduated, but obviously that has been put off for a few months now. i dont think they let 6 month pregnant women jump out of planes! lol. maybe in november or something for our anniversary. ive always wanted to, and im determined to do it here in hawaii before we move away. i hear that the view is absolutely amazing so you couldnt talk you mom into going? or shes gonna play babysitter? we tried to get my mom to while they were here and she was like "no way, no how. ill take pictures" hehe

Im the same like my ankles hurt so bad when i walk now because they are so swollen i try not to walk or anything for very long periods of time.. my mum keeps telling me i need to start walking and stuff more but i cant, it hurts lol. The doctor told me today, no more sweets, waah lol.. He said was gaining weight to fast now for being 27 weeks, so no sweets it is i guess. The doctors dont seem to concerned about the swelling at this point any way so thats good..

Haha yep it sure sounds like it i think most girls do the same.. try and get out of it sum how haha. It is so frusterating when OH does that i want to smack him up side the head when i want something done i want it done right away i shouldnt have to fource him into doing anything seriously lol.. He is getting better as of right now cause when ever he doesnt do something i want i throw a major pregnancy fit on him until he does it haha.. he doesnt like these hormones because b4 i got pregnant it was like ah what ever now its like "do it or ill rip your head off" haha

I think it would freak me out too hearing this big loud noice coming out of like no where its probably like "omg what is that make it stop" lol thats probably why it kicks and everything like that.. it is so cute.. The baby today was kicking so hard when i went and sat down in the waiting room it was like "ah mum i dont like it here we have to leave" haha.. So i found out today that I have to go in again in 3 weeks than after that im in every 2 weeks.. where has the time gone.. it is so crazy that im just about starting to go in every 2weeks

I know only 2 more boxes and my ticker will be complete.. ah it is all getting so close.. next month is the start of summer too.. i cant believe it.. just a few more months and baby will be here. ah so scarey haha.. and your getting close too.. pretty soon you will be holding your LO in your arms.. And this will all be a memory.. the only thing im not really excited about is having to start my period all over again haha.. I was thinking about it and its been like 7 months with out my period i cant believe it.. it is so nice to not have to deal with it I just hate the idea that once i get my sex drive back then i will get periods again ugh so annoying haha.

Haha thats like me too i wantedto go this weekend but they wontlet pregnant people jump. OH was joking id go up as one and come down as two lol. it would be pretty awesome to sky dive thou i really cant wait tell next year when we can do it I am so looking for ward to it.. my mom she is going to do the baby sitting she said there is no way that we can get her to jump.. so it will just be the four of us than haha... Im not scared of it really its going to be great fun and lots of memories hehe

Im in third trimester today i cant believe it Im already just about to the end eek im so nervous

oh my gosh, im the same way. well the swelling for me has gone down. when i asked the doctor about it she said that it actually gets worse from walking. she told me i need to make sure i drink 8-10 8oz glasses of water, elevate my feet when i can and try not to cross my legs. all of this is supposed to help keep swelling down. but for me its been the weight gain. i didnt eat so well when my family was out, and since my DH has been working nights and he usually cooks, ive been eating a lot of mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches. plus ive been craving ice cream lately. and when i got on the scale yesterday i had gained nearly 4 lbs in 2.5 weeks! ahhhh! i dont know what happened. so i need to start taking the dogs for walks and going for bike rides. anything to burn some calories :-/

i know what you mean! before i was pregnant i was so easy going and had so much patience, but now its like :do it and do it now!!" lol. my patience for things has been wearing pretty thin lately. DH always teases me that i was nicer before i was pregnant.

aww the poor baby didnt want to go to the doctors! hehe. i cant really blame the LO, i dont like going to the doctors office either. if i could (and people wouldnt look at me weird) i would kick my feet and pound my fists when at the doctors too! babies can just get away with it thats awesome about the appointments. the closer the appointments are together, the closer you are to having you baby here and in your arms! i dont like the doctor, but i cant wait until the 2 week appointment phase. that means the baby is almost here!

i was thinking about the period thing the other day too. i think ive so enjoyed not having one that i may go into a depression when it starts again. i just hate having to deal with that. and you are too right, it always gets in the way of sex. seems like when you want to have sex most is when the period shows up. though i think that, for awhile at least, the baby will be getting in the way of most romance and fooling around anyway. thats why DH and i are trying to go at each other like teenagers while we still have the time and the energy! heheh

that will be so much fun to do the skydiving thing. if you end up going before me, youll have to let me know how it is. i want to so bad. i think it must be a mom thing though, not wanting to go. my mom told me she would watch the baby sometime when she was out here and me and DH could go. though my dad doesnt want to go either...hes scared of heights. i just think it would be such a terrifying thrill.

congrats on third tri!!! ahhhh that is so exciting! youre at the last step of the process! this definitely deserves some celebration. you and your OH doing anything special tonight to celebrate?

People dont tell you all this stuff before you get pregnant like how terribly uncomfortable its all going to be.. like right now i honestly cant be bothered to shave my area haha.. well i honestly cant see it any more, it is horrifying lol... No one ever tells you how hard its going to be to put on socks and shoes lol and all of that.. there is so much stuff im restricted from doing now because of my tummy lol Yesterday I asked OH if he wanted to shave my legs for me hahahaha He gave me a weird look lol.. Thats good that your swelling has gone down.. The doctor told me not to eat very much sweets any more because my weight gain was to drastic it was like 9lbs in 4 weeks he said that was too much.. oops haha. I think i need to get our and exercise and stuff more but i really dont want to with my ankles and stuff hurting the way they do.. its only a couple more months of this.

Thats what my OH says too that i was a lot nicer before i got pregnant lol and i just look at him and say "oh well if you did what i asked i wouldnt have reason to be so grumpy!" haha

I really hate doctors offices too.. its just mainly because being in the doctors office makes me seriously uncomfortble.. ive been pretty good this whole pregnancy because i actaully like most of what is happening at these appointments.. so i dont blame the LO for acting up when we get to the doctors office hehe. Poor LO.. I would do the same if i could throw a huge fuss and stuff haha. but ithink people would look at me like id gone mad or something. . ugh lol. i am really excited to start going in every 2 weeks it means baby is close to coming i only have 6 more appointments tell the end hehe

Haha your lucky that you still have a sex drive mine is totally gone now.. Like OH keeps telling me he thinks i look sexy and all this but i just dont feel it.. so i still have sex with him but im not really into it.. poor guy haha.. Then when baby is here we wont be having sex for a while any way with all our energy going to baby and the factthat we cant have sex for like 6 weeks after we give birth or what ever. Thats going to be hard for OH. but seriously im going to need sum recovery time hehe.

I think sky diving will be a great experiance too.. It must be just a mother thing they are just chickens lol.. my dad and i had always talked about going sky diving one year so he was happy i think when i asked him if he wanted to come sky diving with me OH and FIL. Its going to be great I dont think my sister will go with us she is scared of heights and you have to be 19 to go sky diving any way lol. If she was 19 thou she would be to much of a scaredy cat to go.. im really not afraid of it at this point but wait tell i get in the plane and im looking out im going to be terrified haha but i will so go threw with it!

Thanks i know last step hehe so exciting i cant believe it im already in my 3rd trimester it is so amazing to think the baby is getting so big now just about 2lbs .. I cant wait to meet him/her and its only 13 weeks now ! naw we didnt do anything special cause OH had to drive back to work yesterday

 

[QueSeraSera]

oh my, i was in the shower this morning and i really needed to shave my bits, but i just couldnt see them. i dont want to end up cutting myself. i need to do something though, otherwise DH is going to think ive stopped maintaining myself! lol. yea im glad the swelling has gone down too. that was no fun..painful and just uncomfortable. i know it will probably come back since swelling is inevitable in pregnancy, but im hoping to keep it down for awhile still yet. eeek! looks like weve both been going through a "pack on the lbs stage" its so hard when you crave something...and especially so when its sweets and things that are bad for you. when DH gets back to working his normal schedule i want to go for a walk and/or bike ride every night again. i need to start burning some calories a bit.

yea...it must be nice to be a baby. then you can throw a fit about anything you want to and nobody looks at you for it. when you try to do that as an adult you get judged by those around you. but sometimes it just seems like it would be nice to throw a big ol' temper tantrum! hehe. i know what you mean though...even though i hate going to the doctors i cant wait until im going every 2 weeks. then its so close!

thats strange that peoples bodies react differently. my sex drive has been through the roof this entire pregnancy. not that DH is complaining. im sure after the baby comes and he has to stay away for a couple of months he will be complaining though. and ill just tell him "hey mister, we had sex all the time when i was pregnant. more than made up for the time youre missing out on now!" lol. im sure well be so exhausted we wont even think of it though.

oh i didnt know there was an age limit for skydiving as long as you had a parent. i thought you could go at like 14 or so with a parents permission. but if shes scared of heights its probably best for her not to go anyway. i really want to and think i wouldnt be scared, but i bet when i do go and i get up there i will get scared. ill just make someone push me out. lol. cant go all that way and then chicken out

2 lbs! my goodness. i remember when we were like "oh baby is 4 oz this week" and we thought how big s/he was getting. lol. now 2 lbs is a serious size. lol. it sucks that you werent able to do anything yesterday, but maybe when your OH gets back you can! this morning DH got off of work and crawled into bed at about 5 am, just before i had to wake up. he snuggled up close and put his hand on my belly and Audrey started kicking away like crazy! i think she has missed her daddy being around this past week and was excited to have him near. lol.

 

[dizzy65]

It really does suck ididnt think i would miss seeing stuff like that haha. i talked to OH about it and he said not to worry about shaving my area tell after baby is here.. i was relieved becasue honestly i think he would have to do it.. because there is no way i can see what im doing down there and OH would probably have to help me tehe. Swelling seems to be a big part of pregnancy at this point any way.. theres really nothing you can do about swelling just how much you get.. some people get it really really bad.. others not so much.. i have probably average swelling it gets so annoying. Ah i know what you mean im craving so much sweets and stuff and now i relised that is making me gain weight to fast so i have to slow down there is so much stuff we can not eat now it gets so frusterating to have to watch the weight.. err lol.

Haha i would love to be in the middle of a crowded place and just throw a temper tantrum it would be so funny to see peoples reactions around us.. they wouldnt be very good reactions thou i bet. lol.. When a baby throws a fit everyone is like awe how cute.. but with us adults.. everyone would be like "my god what is there problem" haha.. I guess babies have it pretty easy.. I cant wait tell mine is here.. than i will be able to hear it cry and stuff all the time

Haha its a good compromise any way having a good sex drive during your pregnancy than after you wont be able to have sex for a while so your DH should be able to hold off at least for the 6 weeks or what ever that your unable to have sex.. Than after that you guys will be able to have fun again hehe. My OH has been complaining my whole pregnancy about me not wanting to fool around or anything any more right now.. But i told him it will be better once baby is out im sure

Thats what it is here in canada im not sure if its differant in other parts of the world or not.. They do that really for the safety of the kids and such.. I think i would probably want to chicken out once i got up there, but we are jumping tandem so i will be strapped to some one so he will drag me out with him i guess haha. The free fall will be the worst part of it i think after the parishute takes over than i think it will be pretty good experiance

I know the babies are getting so big now i really cant believe it.. it is really amazing how far they have come from being little grains of rice hehe. Awe thats so cute your little girl just missed her daddy near by.. my LO kicks harder too when OH comes and cuddles me and i dont no why.. maybe just missed him or something
