Lomelly - yep, the date is set. We're getting married Oct 19th. I'm so excited!! We booked our venue and the church today and I went to the bridal show in St Catharines. Made my head spin with all the info!!

Ttc and 3xblessed - hoping this is your month!! FX!!

Cute bump army!!
 
Exciting times carebear! So are you holding off on ttc until after?
 
Exciting carebear! Where's the wedding at? People I know are using Cambridge mills... Super fancy and expensive lol we got married at Cambridge city hall. Did you have fun at the wedding show?

Army, cute bump!

I am grateful for the year they give us here... I really wish the US would pass new legislation for maternity leave, I mean come on!
 
I does suck here. But it seems like it will never change in my opinion. I never hear any attempts to change regulations. Especially like where I work my boss didnt even have to save my job position if he didn't want to since its a small company the FMLA leave doesn't apply. My office does allows 12weeks but only pay is vacation/sick time. I was able to take a few days this year but we have several times over the rest of the year I'm saving the rest of my days for.
 
We are going to hold off on ttc for now, so I've been hanging out in the WTT area, but I can't help but to check in with you guys once in awhile :). I pushed for a wedding this year so I don't have to wait much longer. I couldn't handle having an October wedding next year and having to wait until then. Lomelly - We're going to be getting married in the Niagara Region. All my family is from there so I got my way of course :haha: I absolutely love the venue! Its new and its out by Brock U. She included so much decorating that we couldn't say no even though it is a little pricey, though not as much as Cambridge Mill!! I checked into prices of a place in Niagara that also owned the Mill and wow! The. Bridal show was fun! My mom and a few of my friends went with me to help me out. I tried a ton of cupcakes! Yum! Got some great ideas too! How are you doing?
 
Sounds like a plan and a 10/11 month engagement is perfect :)

Woohoo for upcoming wedding!!! Sounds like you had a good time this weekend at the bridal show. How exciting and once you are married, then you can get back to official trying and come back to us full time! :-)
 
It totally stinks that we don't get a full year of maternity in the US! I am a teacher and get to take my 6 weeks after (paid if I use sick days) and then an additional 60 working days (unpaid)...it works out to about 4 1/2 months...since I breastfeed for at least six months, this means I am pumping in my closet while I shove a sandwich in my mouth for 1 1/2 months! Totally rotten stinks...with my second son I couldn't even produce enough milk for him to have while I was working so I had to start supplementing earlier than I wanted to!
 
Sounds like a lovely plan carebear congrats :)

Aww it won't be long ttcisom, my pregnancy seems to be flying by!!

Blessed :hugs: it really does stink :( we get 6 weeks at 90% pay then 33 weeks at £135.50 a week. You can take an extra 3 months after the 39 weeks but its unpaid. The maternity pays not so bad if you only work part time like me (I only earn around that per week anyway so I'm no worse off) but if you work full time then you could be losing £400+ a month :( I hope the US has a re think about their leave as I think 6 weeks is just so unfair :( x
 
Ok, for the past 2 weeks I have felt a lot of movment (15+ kicks or whatever) every day until yesterday when I felt nothing. I was eating normally and I wasnt more active than usual. I'm so scared something is wrong. I know that nurses at the hospital dont really consider movment counts valid until 24 weeks but this is a whole day!
 
If your worried phone the MW's and go see them hun :hugs: I must admit though I found baby's movements changed completely from 22 weeks and I didn' feel him as much during the day at all x

I've had a week of fairly strong kicks and wriggles and then two days of silence. I cried so much and then yesterday it started its dancing routine again. Stresssss. Better safe than sorry though - call your doc x
 
Armymama, hope you little one was just feeling lazy yesterday!

I'm 39 weeks today. One of my friends was due the week after me and just had her baby yesterday; trying not to be jealous, lol. I'm hoping to have my little one with my in two weeks; I have a feeling she won't come on her own, but I'm hoping my OB will induce after a week late (I'm really really sure that my dates are right, and my MIL is a NICU nurse and thinks it's a lot safer for the baby to come out a week late instead of two). We shall see!
 
I dont have a phone number for a MW. I havent seen an OB here yet (my appointment is tomorrow). And I know for a fact that if I call they will leave a note for the doctor and it'll take up to 3 hours for the nurse to call me back after the dcotor sees the note.

I understand hours of no activity but this is now 28 hours of no movement. I laid in bed waiting for movement because that is when the baby is usually the most active but nothing.
