How are the moms and moms-to be doing?

Hey ladies:

specifically the moms and the moms-to-be.

How are you all doing? Sleep-wise? Weight-wise? Cravings wise? Any other things that you are going through that you didn't expect.

I like to know cause I need to get an idea for when it's my turn. Big Smile

Hope everyone is doing ok.

I am doing ok- I am halfway there!! I had my 20 week appt today and I am up 20 lbs.....that's too much! But honestly it is mostly in my tummy and boobs, so I don't feel too bad about it.

I had a little scare last week - I was experiencing more-than-normal discharge, and since it was under two weeks since I had had the amnio, the docs were concerned I might be leaking amniotic fluid, so they sent me to Labor and Delivery. Everything was fine, thank GOD, so that was good. while I was there I was so jealous of all the women who were actually there to give birth - I can't wait until it is my turn!!

I am actually sleeping much better - I am getting used to this big belly and I only need to get up about 2 times to pee. I am starting to loose my appetitie and have food aversions - a few weeks ago I wanted to eat everything in sight, and now nothing sounds good to me.

Next week I have my anatomy scan - the "big u/s". It will be fun but since we already know the gender it's not as earth-shattering as it would have been!

I am feeling LO now, not constantly but a few times a day. It feels like someone is poking me from the inside. Very weird feeling!

Awh, Danielle! Thanks for sharing. I can't believe that you already at the halfway point already - no way!!! Time really flies!

And she is busy poking huh? Too cute.

Glad everything was alright at the doc's.

I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes alright. Thanks again! I love reading up on those little updates.

Thanks for checking in on us Miss Karllen...you're very sweet!

So far everything is going well. I have my next appointment on Monday and will hopefully get to see the babies heartbeat. I still don't "feel" pregnant (whatever pregnancy is supposed to feel like, I don't know lol). I still have the very sore boobs and the period-like cramps from time to time and am super tired (especially 'cause I take progesterone supplements)...other than that, not much has changed. Thankfully I get to sleep through the night (don't need bathroom breaks as of yet)...well, unless my PITA cats wake me up. lol Weight wise? Well, I've always been chubby, so nothing is noticeable yet...my clothes still fit and surprisingly my Dr. didn't weigh me at the last visit (that's odd...they usually do), so I won't know if I've gained any weight at the next one. =/ I don't really have too many cravings. Around the time I got pregnant I didn't even want to eat...everything grossed me out or I just wasn't hungry. Now I'm back to a normal appetite...but no cravings yet. Other than that, not much has changed...but, if anything does, I'll be sure to update you.

How's everything with you? The house? How's Sammi boy doing?

P.S. I'm glad to hear all is ok with you Danielle!

Glad to hear that you are doing well, MrsDe. I would be the same way saying I don't "feel" pregnant because I imagine that the MS starts immediately and all my clothes would stop fitting etc. LOL It's the dramatic little person inside of me I guess.

Glad to hear all is well. Keep taking care of yourself.

Oh and I volunteer to drink the mimosas of the pregnant folksies at the brunch! Stick out tongue

Awww thanks for thinking of us!!! things are going pretty well - my days are definitely this "blur" of eat, sleep, change diapers and soothe the baby. My SIL has been with us for the past week and she has been such a great help. Freddie is doing pretty good - he has had some nose congestion for the past couple days (which I hear is normal), my boobs leak...a lot, and trying to find nursing tops has been interesting. So far all my ones that I bought from old navy are too big, And I hate to even mention it, but i'm only a pound or so more than my pre-pregnancy weight. My belly is still soft, but I'm not worried about it.

Our days and nights tend to blend together - I always feel like each night is a big challenge - how much sleep will we get - but we just take it one day at a time.

I'm so in love with this little man - each day is so exciting and fun to see him grow and experience this new world. I loved being pregnant, but this new mom thing is pretty wonderful too. Now I'm ready to start going out more with him - I just need to figure out the whole nursing/diaper change in public thing!
