I'm back!!!

I did have a little while where I did leave for the bump....being a first time mom is a little overwhelming and I just felt like that was the place to talk about it all at. I didnt want to be over here and push baby talk on to anyone! But I'm back now :)

Oh and Linds I was looking at older post and saw the one where you were asking where I was. That was really sweet that you were thinking about me, Thanks!!!

And where is Steph? I havent seen anything recently from her on FB either?

Re: I'm back!!!

  • Woo Hoo - welcome back!!  I totally understand you ditching us for the bump - I'm sure you have tons to talk about with the ladies over there, just hoping you'll keep visiting us from time to time :) 

    Steph's still around - she hasn't created many new posts lately but she has replied to several.

    It's so hard to believe we have all been married now for at least 4-5 months now.  Time is really flying by (I can hardly believe you'll be a mama here in just 9 weeks!!)

    How has your pregnancy been?  Easy? Rough?  Hopefully it hasn't been too tough on you! 

  • My pregnancy has been pretty good, the beginning was easy. Then I had about 4 or 5 weeks of really bad morning sickness and then nothing! I did have to spend the night in labor and delivery over St patty's day, I was having really bad pain in the top of my uterus, like I could hardly stand up kind of pain and it turns out that my uterus just shifts differently sometimes and depending on the position of Addison it puts a lot of pressure on my kidney and causes a blockage! :( they have the pain under control now though and say it should go back to normal after I deliver! Other than that it's been smooth and she is doing great! They think that because of my size that there is a chance that I won't make it until my due date, so I may have a may baby instead of a June baby! How have you been doing? Anything new with you? How's newlywed life?
  • Oh man - I can imagine that must have been pretty scary (I feel like any type of unknown pain while pregnant would be scary) - I'm glad they have it under control and now your almost there!!  So exciting that she may be here next month!

    Married life is great - we lived together for a year before marriage so we really havent had any struggles that society talks about with the first year being so rough - we did combine our money for the first time after marriage but that has been super easy so far.

    Right now I'm just struggling with boredom lol - I realized after the wedding was over that I enjoyed having something to plan for.  I'm glad the wedding is over because it was a lot of stress (and $$), but I find myself looking for something new to plan, or focus on.

    I have some crazy baby fever which I'm sure you've noticed if you've been lurking lol.  DH just started his own company in February, and so far things are going great.  We're planning to wait until Sept. 2012 to begin TTC because ideally we'd like for me to be a SAHM if possible.  Only time will tell with that. 

    BTW - I love your Daughters name, Addison is my top choice for a girl as well :)

  • Congrats on your hubby's company! I know how exciting that can be. We also looked at the me being a SAHM and we can do it! I just don't know if I will be able to not work, I'm kinda a workaholic and have been working full time since I was 16. So as of right now we have it planned for mento go back to work 2 or 3 days a week after I take 12 weeks off when she's first born! My Hubby likes to think that we will start trying for a second around this ones first birthday! We way them close in age but that might be too much for me lol
  • Thats awesome - I think a lot of SAHM's SAH part time and work part time so they can still have some adult interaction and have a chance to get out of the house.  I think I could do the whole SAH full time thing, but I dont think I'll know for sure until I'm in that situation.

    2 kids under the age of 2 does sound like a lot, but I feel like they would have a really close relationship being so close in age.  We'd like ours close in age too, but I'm thinking the first would need to be at least 18 months before we started TTC, so they'd be a little over 2 when the second one came along...then again I'd be dealing with the "terrible twos" with an infant as well...we'll see lol. 

     

  • HI!!!!!!!!

    I'm so glad you popped back over here to say hi to us!  Sorry to hear about the late morning sickness, but it sounds like it's all passed now at least :)  I LOVE the name Addison.  and holy crap you're due so soon! Where the time go?!  

    Tell me all about it.  Do you have a nursery painted yet? Have you picked out all the furniture? Any pictures? Does she have a middle name yet? What else can you tell me?

    H and I just started looking at houses (our lease ends June 31st, so hopefully we can find and sign on something this month! eek!)  The idea of owning a house is making my baby fever kick into overdrive.  

     

    P.S. I just looked and we're not friends on facebook :(  But that might be my fault... I went on a huge defriending spree while I was on my phone and I know I deleted a bunch of extra people by accident too... come find me again! 

  • Her name is Addison Jayne the nursery is almost finished! we are just waiting on a bookself that a friend is building for us and the mattress for the crib. Three walls are a really bright green and one wall is hot pink!! Oh and little black skull and crossbone wall decals :) I will take some pictures to post sometime this week so you can see everything!

     

    Oh and I will also come and find you on facebook again

  • Welcome back!! And wow, a May-June baby! My little sister is due in June too. It's sneaking up on us. I am so glad you are past some of the scary medical stuff.

    Dh and I are currently weighting when to TTC and me staying home. I think I'll always have side jobs but I would love to take a break from full time work. We are also having to weight the spacing issue... so much to think about during these years!!!
