Thanks pg girls, for the insight. LTTTC has made me judgemental which really bothers me and I am trying to work on......a good reason to be in this thread. I can definitely imagine that being heavier and not sleeping well, etc. can take its toll and I am happy to hear that nature has a way I guess of taking the fear of birth away if you are so ready for it to come.
Anyway, its called "fat or pregnant?". He asks and I have to guess the answer. It's cute, b/c every now and then we will see some guy with a gigantic beer belly and dh will whisper that in my ear.
And I agree, I appreciate Tanikit and Niamh's caution about how pg women have the right to a "whinge" after all those months of discomfort. But it really melted my heart when my very close friend apologized for whining about her heartburn, considering the fact that I had been trying for twice as long as it took her to get pg (and am still trying...). I just found that exquisitely considerate, that she took my point of view into account like that. Because we are TTCers we can complain to each other about how those sorts of things can be upsetting. Although we'd all like to "rise above" that sort of response, and not be judgmental, there are some circumstances that make it difficult to be perfect and understanding. Hopefully we will learn how to be more considerate of our pg sisters when we experience the bloating and heartburn ourselves.
Love how Sarah would give a million to LuckyD in our TTC alternate reality so we could all hang out on her land together. I’ve been imagining our virtual camping expedition, but now I picture a sick lodge with stone walls and huge timbers…and hobbits…
Good golly I just don’t understand how you women are picturing sexy time in that filthy telescope! You must have very vivid imaginations. I'm telling you, rotting mouse carcass does not melt my loins.
ParkGirl – you are handling this so well. I know you are gonna hit the jackpot again real soon, just like Nixilix. And next time it will be sticky – like super glue!
Have you gals ever heard this: "When you get the stretchy stuff you have to do the sexy stuff" I saw it in a gal's siggy and thought it was awesome.
Ejay – nice job on the dressage comp! I watched a PBS special on dressage the other night. My Mom did some classes but never competed, only competed in the carriage events. And yes, there are pg women every where, along with babies. On Friday night I went to a show where there were loads of 'em and I started to wish I they were like vampires and I was armed with garlic and crucifixes

Because seeing so many babies and bumps is draining the life blood out of me!!! Oh there is that sad, bitter inner demon again...
Moon - glad you've got something that can be easily treated. Hope that cream works quickly and that you feel better soon!
Honey - glad your progesterone levels are normal! Hope the doc reassured you about the spotting. Yes, eating ice cream every day is perfectly fine, especially with your svelt figure!!
