Re: Moms and Moms-to-be (BR)

For those who are expecting:
1. How many weeks/due date? 28 weeks right now - I'm due 11/13

3. Names? H and I have decided on one, but we aren't sharing until she gets here
4. Belly picture, please?
5. How are you feeling? MS pass yet? How's your health? I'm starting to get pretty tired and the third trimester sickness is kicking in. I have a pinched nerve in my pelvis, which is tons of fun, and my migraines are back. Other than that I'm doing really well. I took my GD test yesterday and I should hear back tomorrow if I passed or not.

1. How many do you have? 1 little boy
2. How old? 6 months
3. Any recent pictures?
4. What's a new milestone of theirs? He started eating solid food last week and he can stand holding onto the coffee table.

6. Any advice for the Mommies-to-be? Don't neglect your marriage. By the end of the day you will probably be totally touched out and not want anything to do with your H, but he needs you too and you need him. H and I have gone on dates every weekend for the last three weeks (probably excessive, but the first two MIL was here and last weekend was H's birthday) and our relationship has been that much the better for it.

5. How are you feeling? MS pass yet? How's your health?
I feel fine! I think I'm one of those freaks who actually likes being pregnant.
I LOVED being pregnant, and while I am adamant in our desire to wait a couple of years before we have the next kiddo, I am already looking forward to being pregnant again.
Aw yeah! While I currently love being pregnant I don't know if I love it enough to think about our next kid just YET, haha. But I'm pretty sure that I'll definitely miss having this baby in my belly when he comes.
1. How many do you have? 1
2. How old? 4 1/2 months
3. Any recent pictures?
4. What's a new milestone of theirs? He's rolling all over the the place, he can sit for a few seconds before falling over
5. Your favorite thing about motherhood When he smiles at me and looks at me like I'm the greatest thing in the world
6. Any advice for the Mommies-to-be? When things get really tough, remember it's only temporary! Those first few months are tough but it gets better.
1. How many do you have? Uno
2. How old?She'll be 2 months on Sunday
3. Any recent pictures?Yes, give me a few minutes to pull one up
4. What's a new milestone of theirs?She's a chatter box lately and is officially sleeping through the night.
5. Your favorite thing about motherhood I love when she smiles at us
6. Any advice for the Mommies-to-be?Try not to over think it (I'm so guilty of this.)
ETA: Pictures!
Me too! Loved it!
I didn't love being pg, but I do miss it!
Haha Fancy, I'm sure being pregnant with twins is a whole other ballgame.
I miss it too.
Ditto this.
And I also miss it. One of the wives in C's shop had a baby in January and they just announced they are expecting another in Feb (this will be 3u3 for them.) While I don't think I could handle having kids that close together, I was surprised that my immediate reaction to her announcement was jealousy...
Mommies, your babies are all so adorable! They all seem to be growing up so fast. Time is flying around here.
1. How many weeks/due date?
37 weeks, 5 days. Due on September 9th. I'm betting he'll be late, though.
2. Boy/girl/twins?
It's a boy!
3. Names?
Undecided. We tabled the discussion months ago and are going to wait until we meet him.
4. Belly picture, please?
This one is from my mini-maternity shoot at 33.5 weeks, so my belly is a good 4 weeks bigger now. I need to take a new picture!
5. How are you feeling? MS pass yet? How's your health?
Plenty of the expected late-pregnancy discomforts over here, but I really can't complain much. M treated me to a spa package with a prenatal massage and facial last weekend and is constantly rubbing out my achy back and feet. Too bad he can't coax the baby out of my ribs.

5. How are you feeling? MS pass yet? How's your health? I'm having all day nausea and fatigue, but I am so happy to be pregnant.
I get little twinges when I hear pg announcements too. No idea why. I think its the idea of pregnancy we miss. The anticipation and excitement. Hated being uncomfortable and massive (so massive only surgery will fix it), but I totally miss the belly and the kicks.

4. Belly picture, please? Tinypic isn't working for me or I totally would share.
5. How are you feeling? MS pass yet? How's your health? M/S has most definitely passed, lol. I actually didn't really ever have it beyond nausea. Mostly I'm feeling every bit of 3rd tri. Achy back, hips and feet. Tired and dealing with swelling and some pretty awesome carpal tunnel. I'm thankful for being pregnant and this far along...but some days its challenging.
