The other excitement in my life is that my cousin told me last night that she is pregnant and due in November! Crazy! So I asked her if she was going to name this baby after our grandma (I definitely am, even if it is a boy) and she said she was thinking of our grandma's middle name if it is a girl (the name is Cyrrll - no clue on the actual spelling). Well, that was perfectly fine for me because I hate that name! She can have it! lol! Love how that worked out!

Funny my cousin is having a kid with his girlfriend too. Except his oldest kids are like 4-5 years younger than me. He is, I believe in his late 50s and his girlfriend is my age (32) so it's a little awkward. As for the names, on my fathers side my granny was Raplhnell and my grandad was Claudine. We can use my dad's first name but his middle name is Lyman. Can we all tell my dad's family is from the south?

How is everyone else feeling?
 
I can't believe someone from our little group is almost halfway through, MgreenM! Time flies!

yeah, it's kinda crazy! My mood seems a lot better today and has been in general this week even though I had a couple of bad nights sleep wise...Some of the furniture we ordered has arrived! Crazy!

How is everyone's week going? I think we should have a list of all our due dates...I know other groups have done that on the first post of the thread.
Mine is 9/28
 
Great idea mgreen I'll add them onto the front page of this thread! Post your due date ladies!
 
Mine is 10/17. Due the day after my 33 birthday. Is it wrong I'm hoping the owlet is early because I weirdly feel like 32 is way better than 33 to have our first?
 
Ahh owlet I like that! Mines called pudding lol because as I'm due 20th Dec I joked I was cooking a Xmas pudding and it stuck
 
we haven't come up with a nickname for the baby yet...it just hasn't come up and we are okay with that.

We are interviewing a doula next Saturday! I am trying to decide what to do about bras...I have several sleep bras because my boobs were sooo painful in the beginning! But now, all of my bras are stretched and worn out. I have one nursing sports bra that is comfy and then I went to get some other bras last weekend. They only have one style in my size (your rib cage expands during pregnancy so my band size has gone up a little). Well, I had to take the underwires out, but it still just doesn't quite feel right. So I think I am going to return the other ones I bought (there was a promotion, so I bought to the promotion with the possibility of returning them). But, my thought is, I will probably be mostly wearing the sleep bras during the first few months. So, maybe I will just go and buy a couple of regular bras for now...what do you ladies think? At this point the issue is that all my old ones are really worn out and not very comfy at this point...
 
I'm due November 14!! I also do not enjoy reading the first trimester boards...

I am sick pretty much all day. The only thing that helps is taking zofran. I cut the pills on half and take one half every four hours. I am also dealing with an upset stomach most of te day as well. I feel like I am going crazy. I am 11 weeks and I just would really like to feel normal again. If not just for me but my DH. He has been really sweet and understanding, he did kind of crack last night.... I asked him to do the dishes, because the smell was horrible. He did, but he just kept sighing the whole time. I started crying because I want to feel good enough to be able to do the things I feel like I am supposed to do!!

Anyway... I am happy about this board as well. And even if I do not post a lot, I still read it everyday :)
 
Hi girls,
It's been a while since I posted on the forum. I turned 13 weeks today and hopped on bnb to catch up and see what's going on, and was surprised to find this thread. Glad to see so many of you with on here. Time has flown.

Thanks, It's after a lullaby my mother used to sing me. I like the Christmas pudding. That's cute.

I would say just buy like one or two. No need to buy a lot but might as well be comfortable for the duration.

Being constantly sick sucks. I'm just starting to get over it and I still have good days and bad. I did the Zofran for 2 weeks but it made me really constipated which I was already dealing with and it stopped working and I started getting sick again so I gave up. I'm 15 weeks today and most days my husband still has to cook and clean if he wants it done. It makes you feel like a horrible wife and, at least for me, the constant feeling like you aren't doing enough just made me more tired, emotional and sick. It was a vicious cycle. Good luck with it. I swear it will get better. At least it better.

Good to see you. I went MIA on the forums for a while too. Just got back on this week. I am 15 weeks today.

Sorry you are feeling so awful! Everyone kept saying to me, "once you hit second trimester, it will be better." but it really took until the last week or so to get to that point. It felt like it would never come! I think everyone hits that point in their own time. I hope it comes soon for you! During the week, nothing really gets done...end of story! But on the weekends, I can usually do a fair amount. My doctors have encouraged me to do as much as I can and have energy for. I have had a few of what a good friend of mine calls "pregnancy meltdowns" and I have really screamed at DH for no reason at all...he has been great and so supportive! But I feel awful about it!
 
Thanks PD.

Sorry for those of you that have been really sick. I got lucky that I haven't had any ms thus far. At some point I was worried at the lack of symptoms, but once I had my 9 wk scan and my 12 wk NT scan and saw the little one jump about, I felt sooo much better. My older sis was sick throughout both her pregnancies and was on zofran. My younger sis (who's currently pregnant) also gets pretty sick, but not to the extent of needing medication.
 
Started spotting brown yesterday had a scan and bloods yesterday then continued to bleed, had tests today and have confirmed im misscarrying

Oh ladders, I am so sorry you are going through this
 
Hey Everyone. I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is feeling!

Ladders- I hope you are doing well. Please let me know if you need anything, I am willing to provide any support I can.

As for me, it's going to be a busy (and expensive) month! We finally bought a new bed (KING SIZE!)! So today, we are moving things around in preparation for that. We are interviewing a doula today. Next weekend I am working and the weekend after that, the bed gets delivered. Then Memorial Day weekend, my in-laws are coming and we are putting together all of the baby furniture! I also have to renew my professional license and figure out what I am doing for continuing education so that I can get it done before the baby comes!

On Wednesday we go for the next ultrasounds and we will find out the sex. I am pretty excited. While I don't have a strong preference, I kinda want a girl...in part so I don't have to stress about planning a bris!

What is everyone up to this weekend?
 
We just went to babies r us and wondered around to get an idea of what all we need. Plus, I'm trying to ease dh into this whole thing as he kind of freaked out when he started looking at things online. He's headed out of town overnight for his friend's bachelor party. That's pretty much our weekend
