pregnancy & text buddy- aug 2010

[QueSeraSera]

haha. well youre lucky that your OH doesnt seem to mind! i personally can't stand everything growing wild down there, so this weekend im going to try to use a mirror and get everything taken care of. we will see how that goes! :-/ its worth one try at least i suppose. but i agree, i miss being able to see part of my body...like my toes! i guess thats why they want us to watch our weight...they want us to be sure that after the baby comes that we can see all those bits again and aren't left with a lot of extra weight. it is hard though, especially when youre craving everything abd for you...which i currently am! eeek!

babies have it so easy! they just hang out all day. they dont do anything but eat and sleep. if they go somewhere, somebody carries or pushes them. it must be so nice to be a baby. sometimes we will have a long day and ill be pushing my stepson in his stroller and i seriously envy him. how nice it would be to have someone just push you around everywhere you wanted to go, and having your biggest worry be what toy to play with and when. lol.

yea i hear that some women completely lose and sex drive during pregnancy. and others go out of control. but with your problems before it was probably best that you stay aaway from too much sex too...at least back in the beginning. and im sure it will get back to normal after the baby comes and you heal. and, all in all, thats not a lot of time for him to wait considering that you guys have the rest of your lives to fool around! lol

oh yea i think tandem is required for your first jump here in the states. i would definitley need to do that so that the person would make me jump. and just in case i freaked out and forgot to the pull the ripcord or tried to pull it too fast. lol. i agree that the freefall would be the scariest...i bet your life races before your eyes. but then once youre floating you get to just take in the view, and i bet that part is awesome.

i think the babies can sense their daddies already. its crazy that they know when they are around. and oh so adorable. this week Audrey is 1.5 lbs and 13.5 inches. i cant believe that...thats getting huge already. man...shes on a growth spurt lately! and i can tell her muscles are developing too, because now when she kicks it really gets my attention! lol

I am really lucky OH doesnt mind.. i read posts on here with women saying there OH's are like freaking out because they cant shave ect ect but i had a convo with my OH and he said that he just wants me to be comfortable right now and if that means no shaving my area and such he doesnt mind.. he said to put my self first he wants to help make this comfortable for me after all he is half the reason im in this position lol im happy he sees it that way.. He also told me that, Its weird but he gets turned on with my pregnant body like he didnt think he would be fore.. too funny.. I am certainly craving everything that is unhealthy for me lol like mm ice cream (creamcicles) and lots of chocolate bars hehe ah im bad

I never thought about it like that before hehe babies are very lucky, they can just up and start screaming in the middle of a store and everyone is like "awe what a preciouse little one " .. They can play in the mud all day for fun hehe. Sleep all day, not a care in the world.. Just worrying about what toy they want ect i so wish life was that simple again hehe.. They get like everything given to them.. they want a drink or food they just ask and they can have what ever they want.. ah what it would be like to be little again i defantly envy them hehe.

Ive herd that too its crazy how pregnancies affect other people defferantly.. I dont mind either way.. i really wish i could be more into it for OH's sake but its just weird to think that our child is like front row seats to it all.. its kinda creepy actaully lol.. At the begening of this pregnancy i wouldnt even let OH touch me or anything i just didnt want anything to happen to the baby.. im a lot more relaxed now and can have sex and stuff but now im just not into it.. ah i cant wait tell the baby is out and i can start being more intamit again

I think you are right if it were me on my first jump alone i would probably forget to pull the cord tell it was too late or id do something stupid and end up killing my self lol defanly best to have some one there who knows what they are doing for sure.. plus i think im going to need to be fourced out of the plane because by my self i would probably chicken out.. And i wouldnt know how to even steer a parichute id end up making my self sick from doing circles or something stupid haha.

I think so too.. they seem like they really know who is who already! Wow your 25 weeks already thats crazy.. how fast time is going little audry is getting so big now it wont be long before you will get to hold your little princess in your arms

 

[QueSeraSera]

argh...i just wrote a big long response and when i went to post it somehow it got lost! okay, so here goes again! lol

i think most guys just dont understand what really happens during pregnancy, and thats why some of them can be like that about silly things like shaving and such. i mean, it must be pretty crazy even for the guys to see what happens during pregnancy the first time. my DH is pretty understanding of most things, i think probably because hes been through this whole thing before. that is so cute about your OH though and must feel nice that hes so accepting of everything DH is kind of the same about me even pregnant, being still attracted to me. i dont really understand how he can be turned on because i myself am pretty repulsed by my body these days! i can tell you for sure that if i were him, i wouldnt want to be fooling around with methese days! lol

oh babies are so lucky and have it so easy. i guess its set up that way so that your first years are all fun and play and then as you grow up you have to start worrying about real life. man it would be nice though if we could always stay so carefree. last night DH, my stepson, and I went to the mall. we were playing around and being silly and singing songs in the car while DH drove, and then when we got there my stepson was hungry so we got some food. after that he was like "im tired, i just want to go to the car so i can go to sleep in my seat!" haha. thats truly his main concerns in life: playing, eating and sleeping. ahhh...how nice it must be!

i can agree with you on the sex thing being a little creepy. at one point i said something to DH about how i wonder if the baby can tell what were doing, and he said he didn't want to think about that at all! lol. i know doctors say its perfectly safe so long as you have a normal pregnancy and nothing is wrong, but it still seems weird when you think about it. i think that for me personally this whole sex thing will probably only last until about 30 weeks or so...i can already tell that ill get more turned off as i get bigger and more uncomfortable as the weeks go by.

i think that is the reason that here everyone has to go tandem for their first jump, because they might freak out, do it wrong, and get hurt. i image that everyone, no matter how brave, freaks out at least a little bit the first time they jump out of an airplane. lol. i know i will, and probably would even if i had done it 20 times before. i think i would always need someone to push me out. lol.

i know! only 15 weeks to go for me and only 12.5 for you! i think it will go by fast because looking back now the first 15 weeks went really fast, even though it seemed to be going so slow at the time. its gonna be here before we know it! and good thing too...because in my update yesterday i was looking at the picture of what the baby looks like in my belly right now, and man it looks like things are starting to get cramped already! baby is growing fast!

 

[dizzy65]

i hate when that happens it gets soo annoying

Some guys can get pretty silly about all this stuff and get repulsed and stuff by it all thats why im so glad i have my OH.. i keep asking him how he can be turned on by how i look all pregnant and stuff because i dont even like looking at my self naked any more lol.. He says he just loves everything about me and stuff.. its so sweet that he is trying to make me feel more comfortable and stuff. im glad he is there for me It must help having your DH gone threw all of this before so he knows what to expect and stuff and knows how to handle it and its not such a big shock to him the transition of your body and stuff. thats good also that he is accepting and everything of your pregnantness there are a lot of guys out there who just dont get it. the expect women to get pregnant but there bodies to not change at all haha.

That is so true the only concern to little ones is playing sleeping and eating hehe.. i wish my life were that simple... Now we have all these responcibilities like bills and such ah that really sucks.. I wish life was more carefree like it used to be lol but than nothing would ever get done i suppose if everyone in this world acted like little kids again.. I really cant wait tell my baby is out so i can see how it acts and stuff like that it is going to be lots of fun.. as most little kid stages are lots of fun exept maybe the tempertantrume stage and stuff like that.. am not looking forward to that.. thats why OH is here to be the bad guy hehe.

They say that Sex is a good way to induce labour but i really dont know i dont think i could imagin my self having sex when im like 39 weeks pregnant it would be super creepy to think that your baby is as big as it is maybe it knows something is going on or what ever.. that would be really weird.. OH says he wants to try the sex to induce labour thing but im really not sure about it.. but if it comes down to i guess we will try it haha.

I think i would be the same.. i would need a good push it would be scarey to do it on our own for sure.. you might panic and do something wrong or something.. most first time jumpers would be.. they wouldnt no when to pull theshoot or anything like that.. you would be in a differant mind set once you are actaully out there and doing it.

I know eek so crazy we are getting so close i cant wait tell im over 30 weeks thou and im down to single digits in weeks hehe its going to be so great.. its amazing to think that next week ill have done 7 months.. 7 whole months eek that is so crazy i cant believe how far i am it seems like the babies are running out of room now and they have lots of more growing to do it is so crazy sum times. i really cant believe it i hope this last stretch goes by fast.. i think after i hit 12 weeks everything went by in a blurr because the worst part was all over.. i was all out of the stage of m/c and stuff

 

[QueSeraSera]

aww that is too cute of your OH. it really helps when the other halves are supportive of everything. each time i say something about how fat i feel, or if DH says something and i turn it into him calling me fat...hes always like "you know i dont think that" and then tells me that everything is alright, its normal to gain weight, and so on. its reassuring to know that theyre not like "ohmygod, are you going to be able to lose all that weight?!" or "should you really be eating THAT?" i think having a DH like that would put me into a depression for the entire pregnancy! its sad that some women have to deal with that.

i have to agree, while it would be nice to act like a kid again...im pretty sure that if all of us did that the world would be in absolute chaos! lol. it will be fun to get to know the babies and learn about their personalities, though i have to say that from personal experience i can tell you that the temper tantrums suck. a lot. my stepson has taken to telling us no and screaming when we do something he doesnt agree with. he also does this fake crying thing whenever he doesnt get his way. argh...im hoping its just the terrible threes and that he will grow out of it soon. i can tell you without a doubt that its the most annoying thing in the world to be told no by a 3 year old. lol

i have heard the thing about inducing labor too. i wonder why that works. you would think it would scare the baby and make him/her never want to come out! lol. i suppose though at like 39-40 weeks we will be so ready to just go into labor already and get it over with that we will be willing to try anything to get the whole thing started. ive also heard that eating spicy foods is supposed to help. and someone once said that going for long walks with help get labor started too. i can see myself trying just about anything if i make it to 40 weeks and labor still isnt in sight!

youre 28 weeks today! hooray, congrats on the 7 month mark! and i love your new picture. you have the most adorable bump. and i love your skirt. i got a few skirts like that too, and they are coming in so handy because theyre nice and cool as its getting hotter and hotter outside. i reached the 100 day mark today...cant wait until tomorrow when i can offically say that im down to double digits. it really has gone fast since we got to 12 weeks and a lot of the worries went away. it seems like the babies get bigger each day, as do the kicks. last night i had my laptop resting on my belly and i think audrey was annoyed because she kicked so hard like 3 times in a row that it made my entire laptop move! she has also taken to kicking DH when he comes up to my belly and jiggles it. he just wants to wake her up so that he can feel her move, but it pisses her off. and she finally kicks him so hard and then rolls over. hehe. what a personality she has already!

 

[dizzy65]

I think that would drive me into depression to if my whole pregnancy OH just said i was fat and i was never going to lose the weight ect. But this whole time he has been telling me that i look great and he knows i can loose the weight after the baby is here.. it makes me in a better mood any way.. I cant believe He still thinks im attractive thou lol if i were him i wouldnt think i was attractive ... Thats too funny with your DH i do that with my OH to if he says something im like "so what you think im fat?" OH's face just falls and hes like "how come you always asume that when you know its not the case!" haha its too funny. Im glad we both have partners that are very supportive of us and stuff it would really suck to have one of those guys that really wasnt into the whole us being pregnant thing or really didnt like it or what ever.

Ah that must be a little kid thing hehe. my OH's brother who is 3 years old has nasty tantrumes i was like "yeesh im really not looking forward to that stage" i really hope my baby doesnt have tantrumes like that. That would be really frusterating to here your 3 year old step son say no to you.. It would be so annoying..

Ive herd lots of little things like that too. Im going to bee keeping note of all the things so that when i hit like 39 weeks i can start trying to induce labour i will try probably anything to make it so that i will go in earlier.. hehe i really dont want to hit over 40 weeks i herd thats really uncomfortable. i really want to do in natural like i want my body to have to go in to labour natural and not have to go to the hospital to be induced when im late that would really suck.. i guess we will see what happens thou.. im getting more nervous about it now

Thanks im so excited to be 28 weeks, and 7 months it is totally insane to be this far along, the baby weighs like 2.5 pounds now.. that is crazy i cant believe it ... the baby is getting so big now.. awe.. Hehe thanks.. it is getting into the summer months here now so really have to wear anything to make me cool down really its not even the hottst month yet and i go out side now and im sweating im like "oh boy i can see what this summer is going to be like " wow already at 100 days that is so amazing it will be good when you can finally say you are in double digits.. thats when i really started to count down it makes it feel like stuff is going so much more faster that is so cute she was probably like "ugh get this thing off me" hehe when i have my cell laying on my tummy and it goes off the baby goes crazy like violentlykicking it like its dancing or something to my ring tone hehe to funny haha awe thats so cute she defantly has such a personality i wonder if she will be the same when she is out

 

[QueSeraSera]

hehe. i love that we are both still throwing the "so you think im fat" cards at the OHs. they seem to take it like champs though. i know my DH gets annoyed when i do, but he also seems to understand that im uncomfortable and feel unattractive. even though he doesnt seem to think thats the case. they are such good partners being so supportive through all of this. i had a friend whos boyfriend was a real jerk, and when she was pregnant he would get upset at her if the house wasnt perfectly clean all the time and dinner wasnt cooking when he got home. i dont know how she handled it, but theyre split now. obviously it wasnt a good match, lol

i think the temper tantrum thing can be avoided, but its all in how the kid is raised. my stepson gets away with everything at his moms house, is very spoiled, and basically rules her house. so when he comes you ours he thinks it should be the same way, and its nowhere close. and so then we have the troubles and the temper tantrums. but in households with constant rules and structure, i think you can definitely raise a kid that doesnt act like that.

yea i dont want to be induced either. i would rather it all be natural. but, at the same time, i dont want to be that late either. i can so see us now...39 weeks along, big pregnant, out walking around the neighborhood with a bowl of spicy food in one hand and on our way home to have sex. lol. anything to get the party started and the baby coming!

oh my goodness, baby is getting big! i think for me she is about 1.5 lbs right now. but when she kicks she feels a lot more substantial! lol. i agree about the heat. yesterday we took my stepson out to the park and i was dying of heat after about 10 minutes. and its not even the hottest part of the yer lately! i was wearing a skirt and a tank too. man, by the end of the summer i just know that im going to be sitting in the house, shades closed, air conditioning full blast and in nothing but my underwear. i think the movement is what got her with the computer because it kind of buzzes and vibrates when it burns a dvd, and thats what i was doing. i cant imagine what she would do when my phone went off it was on my belly! shed frobably have a fit! lol. thats so cute about your little one though, man s/he must be so active lately. i love the feeling and the constant reminder that shes in there getting bigger and stronger, even though i dont really like to think about the fact that shes gonna want out one day... :-/ lol

 

[dizzy65]

Hehe i think its funny to do that every now and again keeps them on there tows you are right thou they should understand and respect it any way that we feel huge and unattractive i think thats probably why they dont give us such a hard time and always try and make us feel good. Man your friends ex boyfriend sounds likea real noob i couldnt imagin being in a relationship with a guy that was going to treat me like that it isnt right at all. No wonder they split up.. eek.. i wouldnt be able to handle that, and during pregnancy when you are so emotional already.. i defantly think you and i lucked out with the guys we got There are defantly a lot of real pricks out there that think women were put on this earth to serve them weather we be pregnant or not.. ugh, thats horrid. id say they wernt a good match hehe..

That is very true it all depends how you are going to raise your kid i think thats like with OH's brother too, His mum and dad are divorced so when he is at his dads place (OH's step dads) he gets away with what ever he wants, and whilest and OH's moms there is no adult super vision (she takes off all the time) so he is left with really like half of an parent which isnt very good parenting if you ask me, you are defantly asking for problems if your going to be pulling stuff like that..

Haha i could totally see that, i think by the 39th week we will just be like "get this thing out of me" hehe its going to get pretty uncomfortable towards the end thats for sure.. I really dont want to be late or anything, so i might end up trying anything by time it gets to 39 weeks just to get the ball rolling hehe.

I know it is so freaky to think baby is going to get so much bigger and it has to come out of me aahh im so nervous about it now heading towards the 30 week mark.. i know what you mean you can defantly feel there weight when they kick you now there is really defant kicks and punches hehe. yeah it might of been that because to her it probably sounds really weird she would probably be like "omg whats going on" i wonder what everything sounds like in there any way.. they probably get freaked out over everything.. i think my baby gets freaked out like when OH has the bass on in the jeep and the baby starts kicking really hard like "whats going on" hehe OH says that baby is really going to be into music.. we will see I know what you mean it is terrifying to thing one day not to far from today that our babies are going to want to come out.. eek..

Ah lately ive been so hungry its driving me mad ill eat a huge dinner than like an hour later im starving again.. it is horribal i hate feeling so hungery all the time err lol

 

[QueSeraSera]

yes...boys must be kept on their toes. if we let them off the hook for too long they will start getting themselves into trouble. we gotta keep em sharp! oh yea my friend's ex is a real winner, if ya know what i mean. they keep in touch still, obviously, because they have a kid together. and apparently he just goes through girls right and left these days. hes always wondering and upset about why he cant keep a girlfriend very long, and my friend and i are both like "seriously? are you joking? maybe its because you treat them like crap!" a lot of jerks, i think, are clueless to the fact that theyre being jerks. maybe its something in the way they were raised, maybe their dads treated their moms like servants or something. who knows. im just so glad that DH isnt like that. we would never have made it this far if he was. i think youre right, were the lucky ones that got great other halves

oh thats too bad about your OHs brother. that situation with the mom and dad really seems like a bad setup. no wonder he is having some temper and bahavioural issues! thats one thing i vow to do, always be there for my kid. it may seem like its only fair to take time for yourself or it may seem like its a better idea to be friends with your kid rather than discipline them, but ultimately they need constant care and guidance and discipline is part of that. at least thats how i see it. DHs ex is intent on being more of a friend to my stepson than a mom, and she refuses to discipline him at all and she lets him get away with anything. already thats leading to issues. i think its going to be a lot easier raising a kid when its in one household and both of the parents are on the same page about the approach to parenting and all that. hopefully, at least!

haha. i was telling DH about the sex inducing pregnancy thing. he was like "ooooh...i dont know if i can do that. i mean, im sure ill still be wanting to have sex, but i dont know if i can do it" and so i asked him why and he said that theres just something about being able to see the baby move around that he thinks may be a huge turn off when it comes to having sex...kinda like that is the babys space now and hes not allowed in until after she leaves. lol. i told him that if labor doesnt seem to be coming then i may have to go ahead and take advantage of him then. he seemed to like that idea. oh silly boys...theyll get turned on about anything!

i bet the sound of a bass is terrifying for a baby! lol. i know a lot of times the bass in cars is too much for me, and i know what is going on. i cant imagine what its like for a baby then, who doesnt know what that sound is or where its coming from. lol. i think audrey is pretty scared of loud sounds lately...when i turned on the washing machine this weekend she jumped and started kicking everytime! hehe. it was cracking me up. aparently after about 26 weeks or so the LOs hearing is getting much better. ive been trying to read to her more lately, and let her listen to some of my music at work. i give her one headphone and i use the other. hahah. i bet i look ridiculous holding a headphone to my stomach, but she seems to like it

i am getting so scared about the coming out part. i guess because that every day that does by, that part is getting closer and closer. its weird because i am so excited for that day, but scared too. probably it wont be as scary with following pregnancies because we know what to expect. with this though, i think the scary part is that i dont know what to expect...like how bad it will hurt and all that.

i am the same way about being hungry all the time too. but then, when i do eat, i seem to get full so easily. and then, if i eat like a normal sized meal, im in like agony because im so full and my tummy is uncomfortable. i think now there is much less room for food in there than before. and then, even feeling so full and all that, ill be hungry like 1-2 hours later. argh! lol

 

[dizzy65]

I totally agree if you dont do something every now and again they will thing they can do everything.. we defantly have to keep them alert for sure.. Ah thats so stupid that he doesnt get why girls dont want to be with him.. Maybe if he changes he attitude and all of that he could get a long distance relationship instead of getting with girls treating them like shit than them breaking up with him.. that really sucks.. I think it has a lot to do with how a person was raised, with that kind of attitude any way if they seen there dad treating there mom like that or anygirl for that matter they probably think its okay so they go and do the same thing when in reality thats not how it works.. Its like abuse.. if you grew up in an abusive house hold than your probably going to be abusing some one else or getting abused your self because thats just how you were raised.

I am the same.. i vow to always be there for my child no matter what. I dont want to be the kind of parent that just has kids and then wants nothing to do with them.. im going to be there for them and help them in what ever. Also i to believe kids they need parents not best friends, plus no matter how hard you try kids always end up thinking there parents are lame any way.. so why even try hehe. Thats not right about your DH's ex treating her son like a friend rather than a child because in the long run the child really isnt going to apreciate that, they really need that support in there life.

Haha awe thats so cute about your DH not wanting to do that only if you take advantage of him hehe. I asked my OH about the sex to induce labour and he was concerned hes like "what if it hurts the baby" than he said "what if we are having sex and your water breaks on me?" than he made a grose face lol.. I was like "well heres the thing if the only thing we havent tried to bring on labour is sex, im going to do it with you weather you like it or not!" hehe.. I think il be willing to try just about anything by that point any way.

yeah thats what ive herd that there hearing goes way up or is more sensitive.. thats crazy. thats like me too sometimes in cars the bass is to much gives me headaches and stuff i cant imagin what the baby thinks of it! its probably like omg what is going on hehe.. Its funny when the baby starts kicking hard its like "let me out of this thing the music's to loud" .. awe thats so cute about audry jumping at the washing machine.. Mine Jumps too when there are loud noices near by they it throws a fit kickingand punching me in every direction.. i can tell im going to have fun with this one lol

Im scared for it to just scared because i dont no what to expect i dont no how to tell if im in labour i dont no what its going to feel like .. my dad he said that the day is over before you know it in a blurr than the next day you have your little baby or what ever but i am still terrified of having to push this gigantic baby out and im scared for anything that could go wrong.. it is so terrifying.. The closer and closer i get now i am getting more and more nervous like i have 81 days left thats not much.

Haha with me its like i eat so much than half hour to an hour later my tummy is rumblin and im starving again im like "erg what the hell is up with this!" ive never been this hungry before in my life.. its like a constant ive always got to have sumething in my mouth type of thing hehe.

Congrats on hitting double digits you must be so happy! that is so exciting i know when i hit double digits i got so excited and now the time is just flying by only 97 days left for you.. yay! also congrats on hitting your 26th week wow less than a week left tell your in your third trimester.. are you getting excited/nervous yet ?

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea he is really silly. hes one of those guys who is just naturally charming and can attract girls very easily, but they never stick around because he doesnt treat them well or he cheats on them. but he just cant understand why he always ends up alone. i think youre right and its a lot to do with how they were raised and what sort of relationships they saw when they were growing up. its kinda sad for him, because its honestly like he doesnt know better. oh well, at least neither of our guys are like that!

yes! i fell exactly the same as you. kids need a parent, they dont need another friend. and as much as they may not like you when theyre growing up because they think youre mean or whatever, they do appreciate the discipline when their older because it helps to create more well rounded children. i think this too has a lot to do with how one was raised and all that. DHs ex never had much of a home life. her dad was in and out and her mom is a little strange...not that great of a role model. but she didnt learn what discipline was or why it was needed, and so now she doesnt know how to provided it for her son. at least thats how i see it. i hope she meets a guy who helps her see the light about it, because god knows she doesnt listen to DH when he tries to talk to her about it.

hehe. guys are too funny. i think they may think were joking about the whole "sex whether you like it or not" thing, but i think that by that time we will be so ready for the labor to start that we will try anything. this girl i know that lives on base was due last week and still has no sign of labor. i really dont want that to happen with me! apparently they will induce if she hits two weeks beyond her due date.

hehe. the babies are so funny with their jumping and freaking out over things. Audrey seems to not like being squished. a lot of times i sit with my legs curled up to my chest. i dunno why, i just always have. but now everytime i do that she starts having a fit and kicking me. and then when i put my legs down, giving her some more space, she stops. lol. anytime she feels squished she will kick away at me. too funny. shes going to be a handful, i just know it. lol

i think thats whats so scary, the not knowing. i dont want to be the person that goes to the hospital 20 times thinking im in labor and getting sent home each time. but i also dont want to be in labor and not know it, though i doubt that will happen! lol. i dont want my water to break somewhere and be embarrassed, i dont want to go into labor and be driving or something like that....haha, so many things to be worried about! im sure, in the end, it will all be fine and it will all pass in a blur like you said, but right now im pretty nervous about it all. but i think once i go through it once, then the next pregnancies i wont be so scared because ill know exactly what is going to happen and what it all feels like.

oh my goodness, i know what you mean about the constant hunger. this morning i got up at 6 and had 2 eggs. then i get to work at 8 and i had half of a muffin and an apple. then at 10 i had a banana and a slice of cornbread. then by noon i was hungry for my lunch, a bowl of pasta with tomato sauce. then i was pretty good until 3, when i had the other half of my muffin. argh...my hunger is out of control! :-/ and now its 430 and im already getting hungry again

thanks! im pretty excited about the double digits and the 26 weeks. i cant wait to be in the third and final trimester already. i think its going to fly by. its already the weekend, and then next week is only a 4 day work week because of some hawaiian holiday, and then i have a full week of work, and then i go to vegas and wyoming for 10 days to see my family, then i come back to have an appointment and a tour of the labor and delivery area, and then im already 30 weeks and 2/4 of the way done! man...the babies are so going to be here before we know it! and i cant wait!!

 

[QueSeraSera]

ooops...last sentence of that long ramble was supposed to say 3/4 of the way done, not 2/4...lol. silly computer, sometimes i think it should be able to just read my mind!

 

[dizzy65]

Its sad to think that thats how they grew up in alife like that, to think its okay to treat people like that.. I would never have that around my child like if i was with a guy that beat me and even for my childs sake i would get rid of him because i dont want my child to grow up thinking thats okay.. I dont want my son (if i have a son) to think its ok to abuse women or my daughter (if i have one) to think its okay to let a guy hit you like that, it really isnt okay.. and also i think too what that guy did was mental abuse which is really really bad too, just as painful.. You are right i am so happy we have our guys that treat us right

Ah thats no good at all if thats how she was raised.. Ithink when my OH's youngest brother has kids thats probably how he will be just like his mom and dad are because there is absolutly no disciplin there.. I couldnt even imagin.. I would never want to do what she does, just have kids for sport and than dont want anything to do with them after, how could you put your child threw the heart ache of that.. You dont know iif your baby is needing you, you dont even have a connection with your child if your only home for a few hours at a time then over at your boyfriends place. i vow to never ever be like that.. My kid already means way more to me than that, i mean even thinking about leaving my child is upsetting at this point.

Hehe yep thats for sure, they have no idea what the signed up for in getting us pregnant hehe. If it means we have to jump them to get this whole labour thing started than so be it hehe. Ah that would be torture being late for 2 whole weeks i couldnt even imagin it it would be so painfull hehe.. Ive herd after you go over 40 weeks it gets so uncomfortable.. i could totally imagin that.. after 40 weeks your like "ah get this thing out of mee"

I am the same with you i have so many worries and concerns because this is my first one i dont no what to look for i dont no how to know the differance between braxton hicks and actaul labour i dont want my water breaking in public.. I dont want to go into labour in public.. ah there is so many worries.. And this is our first so everything is new. I think with the other babies it might be a bit easier to know whats happening but with this one im so nervous something is going togo wrong or im not going to know im in labour and end up not making it to the hospital in time, eek.

Wholy.. it gets a bit crazy with being hungry all the time.. OH looks at me he is like you eating again, i always say i cant help it its this giant baby i have in my tummy hehe. it just wants food food and more food

I know what you mean.. its like me too it feels like this month is going to fly by because.. After OH goes back to work for his week im going to my parents place for a week, than when he comes back we have appointments and such than he goes back to work and i go back with him for his brothers grad then we come back and the first weekend its my second cousins first birthay so there really is a lot going on.. and than in july i have prenatial classes and such.. ooh soo exciting oh and the most exciting my maternity shoot

i agree. seeing how some people are brought up with such a strange view on relationships, like women thinking its okay to be abused or men thinking its okay to treat women poorly, it makes me that much more committed to making sure i raise all of my children to know that thats wrong. for the girls, they deserve better than that. and for the boys, they arent better than the girls. it makes its that much more important that we set the best example possible for our kids luckily we both know that things like that shouldnt be tollerated and we both have great OHs....so it should be easy to set a good example!

i cant understand women who have kids and then dont want to spend the time raising them...they are more concerned about themselves than raising their kids. i have known some girls that have tried so hard to get pregnant and then when they had the kid, they decided they wanted to be young and carefree again. then the kid is raised by their grandparents or passed from one friend to another while the mom goes out and parties and has fun. its sad. i think it makes it worse that there are so many women out there who desperately want to have a child and who have been trying for so long, all sorts of methods and all...and they cant. and then the women who get pregnant so easily and take their kids for granted. like that story in the news recently in korea a couple had a baby and it died from neglect because the parents were spending 10-12/day in an internet cafe playing some virtual game where they raise a baby. argh...i got so upset when i read that. i mean, they had their own child and they left it alone to go play a game raising a virtual child?! and now the woman, who was sentenced to 3 years in jail, doesnt have to serve her term because shes pregnant again! that child should be taken away immegiately after she gives birth and given to a good family that will love it the way it deserves to be loved. argh...if you cant tell, that story got me pretty worked up! lol

apparently she went in to labor yesterday and had a baby girl. so she was right about a week or so late. at least she didnt have to go the full two weeks and get induced. i really hope that doesnt happen to me. my mom is trying to figure out how shes going to come out. she wants to buy tickets already, but then if they come out on my EDD and then im two weeks late, theyll have to go home right after the delivery because they can only get so much time off... so maybe we might just call her when i go into labor and she will get an emergency ticket then. but that way she might actually miss the birth, which im not to happy about. but then at least she wouldnt waste vacation time waiting around for the baby to come. lol. sooo..who knows what well do.

haha. i never thought there could be so many things to worry about, but its so true...many i dont want my water to break in a public place. and man i really dont want to have to get induced. and i really dont want to not make it to the hospital on time! and all of these other things too...theres so much to worry about. and the frustrating part is that no matter how much we worry about it, we cant do anything about it. its all gonna happen when the baby and our bodies choose, and the best we can do is go with the flow. for me, im a person who likes to plan and have everything scheduled and all, so its driving me crazy that theres not a single thing about this that i can plan. lol

oh the food this is out of control. i tell myself "youre not really hungry, its all in your mind" or "you just finished eating, you have to wait before you start eating something else!" but then my stomach puts out a loud rumble and im off looking for something to calm it down! lol. man...im gonna have a lot of exercising to do and calories to burn once the baby comes. so much for wanting to only gain like 15 lbs...ive already gained that much and i still have 13+2 to go!

wow you have so much to look forward to this month! its going to fly by for sure! and the maternity shoot....oh i cant wait until you have you pictures back from that. im sure they are going to be awesome! how exciting. and then after this month is done then you only have like 8 more weeks to go! btw, congrats on 29! youre almost 3/4 of the way there!

I would never raise my child to think like that for sure.. If i were in a situation where i got abused and stuff since there is a baby on the way i would defanly get my self imediatly out of that situation you cant support a child like that, mentally any way.. it would be so hard.

I herd something about that too its so aweful how the hell could you do that.. And omg she is pregnant again that is really awful. social services should be involved in that because look what happened to baby number one. what she is just going to keep having theses babies and than go off to the internet again and neglect her baby. ugh that makes me so mad how in the hell could sum one do sumthing like that?? really.. err.. it gets me pretty worked up to think about it too. there is this show Maury (i dont no if uv herd of it) but they had an episode with teen girls that were trying to get pregnant sayin they want to have babies and that to support it they will prostitue if they have too. stupid little girls.. they dont understand how much effort and love and support goes into having a baby. and its more beneficial if you actaully know who fathered your child.. You cant just make a baby and leave it for sum one else to take care of. People and ignorance i tell you.

Thats really hard when you have people traveling in like that.. its like OH doesnt start his vacation until the 11th of august so i might go into labour while he is at work and his work is 12 hours away, he said he can catch a emergancy flight home if i go into labour before he gets home.. But i do not want him missing his childs birth.. Ah congrats to her for having a girl. she must be happy to get it out of her.. it probably gets really uncomfortable going late like that.. it would be really torture.. My friend is impatient right now because yesterday was her EDD so she is really wanting that baby out

lol i know what you mean there are so many worries about the birth and before the birth and stuff. i think in august im going to be a nervous wreck haha. there are so many things about it i cant control and it makes me so nervous. plus i really dont want to be embarressed if my water breaks in a public place.. maybe i will just stay home all of august I cant wait tell this is all over and done with thou the only thing im not really stoked about is having to push a giant baby out of me OH keeps telling me everything will be fine but what does he know lol.

Its the same with me too.. im like ah i cant be hungry already but then my tummy starts rumbiling and gets really uncomfy so im like "ugh fine you win" and i run to the cupbord to find my self something to eat lol. it sucks so much

Thanks im so happy to be 29 weeks.. we had our 29 week check up yesterday and all went really well.. Babies heart beat was strong.. baby is just about head down, its kind slanted at the moment. And everything is really well.. I go in every 2 weeks from here on in so im pretty excited about that. only 11 weeks left. eek getting close

 

[QueSeraSera]

yea i agree. i mean, ive never had to make the decision to get out of an abusive relationship when i had kids, but i cant imagine what on earth keeps women with men like that. i think maybe theyre just too dependent on the man, or theyre too scared of what he will do when she tries to leave. who knows...but i know id be outta there!

at least im not the only one upset by that! i couldnt believe the whole thing. and she basically killed her kid, and then got out of going to jail because shes pregnant. i think the judicial system in korea is pretty messed up, it really must be because that whole thing makes no sense. the maury thing sounds insane. young girls who want to have kids...its like that thing a few years back where all of the girls in middle school made a pact to all get pregnant at the same time because it was "cool" and some 16 year old celebrity had just gotten pregnant and they wanted to be like her. they really have no idea. i mean, its not always the case, but the best way to start a family is by first having someone you want to spend your life with. these girls look at babies like they do cell phones, the cool new accessory that they just must have. but man having a kid is hard! and expensive! they dont get it.

hopefully its not an issue having your OH at work up until the 11th. thats nice that he has the option of getting a flight back, but hopefully it doesnt become necessary. im sure youll want him there for the whole thing, and if hes having to get a flight it will probably just stress you out. luckily for DH he told his office that he couldnt take any trips starting in August, just in case, and they didnt schedule him for any. so thats nice. at worse, if i was still at work and went into labor hes only 20 minutes away max. i really hope that doesnt happen though! lol. though i am planning on working up until my due date, so i suppose its a possibility. :-/ hopefully youre friend goes into labor soon! how long does she have to wait before they will induce?

my DH says the same thing about labor and tells me not to worry so much. he said the other day "oh, it actually just all goes by so fast and in a blur" and i was thinking "hmmm....for the guy maybe. somehow i dont think time is going to fly for me though, as im pushing something the size of a watermelon out of a small opening in my body!" lol. they dont get to comment, they just dont know! i like the idea of just staying home the whole month...just to make sure your water doesnt break in public. thats a good idea, you definitely avoid embarrassment that way!

im so glad your checkup went well! was it an ultraasound or just the doppler? how can they tell how the baby is positioned? my doctor hasnt mentioned anything like that in my checkups, so im just wondering. but maybe its just because i wasnt far enough along at the time... and now you go in every 2 weeks! thats a major milestone and it means that youre almost to the end. so you have like 5 more appointments and then your baby will be here! hooray!

 

[dizzy65]

Ive been in an abusive realtionship before.. it was mainly due to My ex was a huge drugie and stuff and his uncle beat women so he i guess saw it as okay to beat women (he never really new his dad) but he used to beet me all the time, and i was with him for like 2 years, until i said enough is enough, its hard to get out of those kinds of relationships, i would of fourced my self to harder if i had a child thou for sure.. Its just the fact that if i left him i didnt know if he'd come after me or not.. He met one of my boyfriends at the time and brought a shot gun saying he was going to kill him. So it gets pretty intense. I never want to be in that situation again. My OH wants to go beat the crap out of this guy but i told him its not worth it.. it just brings up old hurt and i dont want to hurt any more over it.

Thats basically it isnt it.. She was in charge of a human life and she neglected it, And totally distroyed it.. It should of been taking away from her.. and to think they didnt even put her in jail because she is pregnant again, its like uh hello earth to the law system over there, she is going to jail because of killing her baby now shes pregnant again, ugh take it away from her before she can kill another one! ugh i know that thing it was all over the news about the Pregnancy pact or what ever and now its even a movie i couldnt believe it when i herd it.. Why on earth would you want to do that to your self so young, the youngest one was like 14 or 15 or something like that.. i really cant believe sum people can be so stupid. they think they can just have the baby then sum one else with take charge of it.. I think it was because Jaime lynn spears was pregnant i think thats who it was.. its really disqusting.. you need to have a relationship and care about your self before you can settle down and have a family. you are right it is a lot of hard work to be pregnant and have a baby and it is very expensive.

Thats good that your DH can be really close incase you go into labour early or something. i wish my OH could be a little closer than 12 hours away too. But it wont happen, err.. oh well at least he gets most of august off i cant wait tell he i home full time with me than baby will be here and everything. I think they are letting her go a week before they induce her.. She is starting to get really uncomfortable and stuff being pregnant.. Hopefully the baby comes soon and doesnt keep her waiting to much longer, it must be stressfull at this point looking for every posibal sign of labour lol.

Haha yeah i know.. its like "listen buddy i dont see you pushing a kid out your ass!" haha.. i always get annoyed when OH is like "oh hun it wont hurt that bad" and stuff like that.. all i can do is roll my eyes .. they have no idea how much pain and stuff we are in for when it all comes to it.. they get to sit and what coach us threw it all sure but they dont have to be the one pushing and in labour or anything like that. guys have it so much easier lol

It was just the doppler.. He can tell the position of the baby now by feeling on my tummy. he says its still a bit tricky but he is pretty sure that baby is head down at this point. It'll change positions alot thou between now and august 24th i bet.. i just hope it doesnt end up being breech that will suck to have to have a c-section. I had to ask the doctor if he could tell the position of baby, or else he wouldnt of mentioned anything i dont think.. pretty soon he will be able to tell for defant what way baby is pointing i know i am so happy that its eery 2 weeks now it is so amazing pretty soon you will be doing every 2 weeks too.. and you'll be like wherd the time go.. i really cant believe that in a week ill be 30 weeks.. it is totally crazy how fast time is going

 

[QueSeraSera]

wow! that sounds like a crazy relationship with your ex. was he the one who broke your ribs too? no wonder you were scared about what he may do if you left! but its a good thing that you got out of that situation and met your OH. i would have to agree though, that its the best thing to just forget about him and leave all of that in the past. boys are so silly...they want to be the hero, but the only thing that letting your OH beat up your ex would do would be to piss the ex off. best to just let it all be. when DH finds out about things from my past he does the same thing and just wants to "have a word" with the person. lol. its like, its all done and in the past and bringing it all back up isn't going to do anything. its kind of cute that they always want to come to our rescue though...

oh i totally agree! they should take the new baby away from her as soon as its born. there are many families that would take the LO and raise it with tons of love, that i am sure of. and then they should send that lady to jail! basically she is getting off without any punishment for killing her own child, all because she is pregnant again. the laws in korea are seriously messed up. and the children having babies thing is crazy too. i remember seeing this talk show awhile ago and it had this girl on it and she was like 11. basically she was talking about how she couldnt wait to get her period so that she could start trying to have a baby. and the host was like "you know that your body isnt fully developed, that would be potentially harmful to you and the baby" and he went on to say that she wouldn't be able to afford the child, that the child would probably be taken away because she isnt old enough or in a position to provide and care for a baby, etc. and the girl was just like "i dont care, i want a baby" ahhh...kids today. they dont want to just enjoy their childhood...theyre in such a hurry to grow up and be adults.

hopefully since your OH is off 2 weeks before your due date, it wont be an issue and he will be right by your side when it all begins. that will be nice that he gets the time off though, that means you guys can have a couple weeks (assuming your LO doesnt come early) to get everything completely ready and settled. i need something like that...we are so not getting anywhere with our nursey. we still havent put the crib together! im hoping this weekend, since DHs ex has my stepson all weekend, that we can get a bunch of stuff organized in there. because lately the time has just been going by and we dont really have a lot of time on the weekends because we try to be out and about with my stepson. plus, i am planning on working pretty much up until i pop, so i wont have any time beforehand to do anything either. eeek...gotta get on that! lol. i hope your friend goes into labor soon...im sure shes anxious for it to just be here already!

guys do have it so much easier! they dont have to deal with anything...they keep their hair short and dont have to put on makeup, they dont have to deal with periods or cramps, they dont have to get huge from carrying around babies for 9 months, and they dont have to push those babies out of a tiny opening in their body! when man and woman were created, woman sure got the crappy end of the deal as far as having to labour over beauty and family. lol

oh i see, ill have to ask my doctor if she can tell next time i go in. i was actually looking at the schedule and i have a 28 week apt, then a 32, a 36, 38, 39, and 40. so actually i dont start going every two weeks until the very end...still 2 months from now! its kind of crazy, but since ive had an uncomplicated pregnancy so far i suppose theres really no reason to go in so much. and for me the appointments are always a hassle because i have to take off of work. it seems like so few checkups though until the baby is finally here. i cannot wait. each time she kicks now i get this image in my head of what her little hands and feet must look like, and what she will look like when shes squirming around out here in the real world. ive been having a lot of labour dreams too that shes finally here and its getting me so excited! lol. and my ticker finally changed! only two boxes left now...lol.

 

[dizzy65]

The one that beat me and the one that broke my ribs are two differant guys.. i went threw a lot of bad relationships before i finally got with my OH who sort of like saved my life.. He is the only guy ive actaully been with that treated me right.. It was a long road getting to him but im glad that i did, i dont no where id be if i didnt find him.. Ah i know it is so funny, OH does that too hes like "i just would like a word with him" its like hehe "thats really okay" he always wants to interfer in stuff like that.. ah so funny.. I guess its just a guys thing they think they have to get into our life that was in the past and protect us.. come to our rescue hehe.. too funny

Yeah they should just take the baby away and give it to sum one who will love it and be able to spend time with it ect... Than she should have to go to jail.. i dont think that would ever stand here in canada.. they would make sure she didnt harm anotherb baby.. She is basically treating her child like its an accessory like its a new cell phone or something.. Just something that she can have but doesnt have to look after.. that makes me really sick i couldnt even imagin doing that to a child. a little inocent baby that doesnt even know whats going on and all that.. Omg a 11 year old that wants to start her period so she can get pregnant?? what the hell is her problem she still has like her whole life a head of her she doesnt need to be having babies. ah kids these days.. live your life when you can!

Yes hopefully He will be here for the whole birth and everything like that i really dont want to do anything of it on my own im so nervous for if i go into labour and OH is at work.. it would be a very panicked phone call to him if i was in labour and he was 12 hours away .....Hopefully you can get the nursary sum what completed or get some stuff together this weekend.. It takes a lot to make everything perfect.. we have everything basically set up but we still need to get sum things like diapers and whipes and bath stuff. My parents are giving us there rocking chair so yay im really excited about that when OH is down we are going to come and get it. The room is looking pretty cool right now.. I cant wait tell baby is here to put it in the room

Ah i know what you mean we totally got the crappy end of the stick on this one.. last night i was talking to OH on the phone and i was like "you know what i decided you can give birth to this thing" and he waslike "no no no when we got into this relationship we agreed youd be the one to give birth to the baby" iwas like ugh i dont want to thou haha. i got scared i never really even thought about the end of this pregnancy never really thought this baby is going to have to get out of me sum how.. eek.. so scarey

well its good that means that there is no reason for you to come in every two weeks no complications or anything.. hopefully everything goes smooth for you and everything.. ooh so u have an appointment next week? that will be good than you can hear the babies heart beat and stuff. i always love hearing babies heart beat.. ive herd it so much now but everytime it is really amazing.

Congrats on hitting your 27 weeks ooh and now only 2 boxes left yay it starts getting so exciting now.. i cant wait tell there is one box left.. thats going to happen i think in 2 weeks hehe.. ooh you are in third tri too congrats

 

[QueSeraSera]

i know exactly what you mean on that one...i went through a lot of bad relationships and guys in general (not all of them could even be considered real realtionships) before i met my husband. and even with my DH, in the beginning, there were problems...but through it all we hung in there. i think thats the most important part of a relationship, wanting to stick it out even when the going gets rough. i was on a pretty bad track with my life and he really straightened me out, i could have gotten myself into a lot of trouble if it werent for him. its amazing how life is like that, just kind of sucks when you have to go through the bad to finally get to the good lol.

oh when i saw that talk show my jaw just about hit the ground...i couldnt believe what i was hearing! who, at 11 years old, is thinking about having a baby?! i mean a girl is barely old enough at that point to wear a bra! kids are in such a hurry to grow up these days...and its no wonder that we have babies growing up in crazy situations when their parents are still children themselves! its a strange world these days. DH and i were talking about it this weekend, how messed up the world is getting. we just want to make sure that we can give our kids the best opportunities in life. having a kid is so much responsibility, its like we have their entire life in our hands up until they are a certain age. kinda terrifying actually! lol

oh i cant imagine what that call would be like if he was away when you went into labour, but hopefully that wont be the case. it will be so much better for everyone if it happens when he is with you . im sure him being away would be stressful for you, but also for him not being there with you when you need him. DH has already said that besides work hes pretty much not letting me out of his sight for the last month of this pregnancy. lol. thats awesome that your nursery is pretty much setup! we had big plans to do a lot of that this weekend because it was 3 days off, but it didnt happen. lol. we pretty much hung out the entire time, ciddled, and watched movies. DH is going to put the crib together next week when im out of town and then when i come back we will put it all in order together we pretty much have everything now..we just need a dresser, a monitor, and then diapers and such. my mom and dad are getting us a rocking chair for the nursery...i cant wait. i think they are ordering it and we will get it after i get back from vacation. i cant wait to sit in it and read to the baby, and then, in just a few months, actually hold her and rock her to sleep i was hoping to get the one that my mom had when i was a baby, but it is in storage in wyoming and apparently it got water damage somehow thats awesome that youre getting the one from your parents! that will be a nice heirloom thing...and someday you can pass it on to your child when your grandchild is on the way!

we were watching tv this weekend (we finally broke down and got cable since its the world cup for futbol and DH is futbol fanatic lol) and i stopped on some show called Birth Stories or something like that. when i clicked to it this woman was in full on labour and oh my gosh it scared the shit out of me. i didnt want to watch but at the same time i just couldnt tear my eyes away! eeek! it was so terrifying, but she was so happy when the finally handed her baby to her. i cant wait for that moment...i think it will be the greatest feeling in the world! DH told me to stop watching that stuff because i was only scaring myself. lol

turns out my 28 week appointment got moved and since im out of town next week, I go in the 30th of this month. so ill actually be nearly 30 weeks at that point. its then that i have to take the glucose test again...bleck! but it will be good to hear babies heart and everything. and at that point i will be 3/4 of the way done! right after that appointment im going to have a tour of the labour and delivery ward...i guess they want to give you an idea of how it all works when the big moment comes. so that should be interesting.

its so exciting to get down to 2 boxes left on the ticker. and to be in third tri finally. ahhh...i cant wait for these next 13 weeks to just fly by. i seem to be seeing newborns everywhere i go, and i cant wait until im that proud mommy walking around with my newborn too! youre nearly 30 weeks now...just one more day! and then youre 3/4 of the way done...it is going to get here so quick and soon youll be holding your baby in your arms
